Trump White House's Mishandling of Classified Material

Yeah that’s ridiculous. Comey made more of a shit show about Hillary’s email than the FBI has done here.

Can you imagine Trump having to go through the House hearings Hillary went through in an attempt to appease those dolts? It’s impossible for me to picture that.
 
It’s possible those three agents are trumpers pop.
 
Aren't most of the conservative appointees over the last 30 or so years Federalist Society-affiliated judges?
Basically every non-left lawyer on the country is affiliated with the federalist society. Means nothing anymore
 
After they fucked around for 18 fucking months.

I’m not going to give them a cookie for enabling this mess until the last minute.
 
Nobody asked you to.

My comment was in the context of Meadows finally surrendering his own docs.

NARA has been asking politely for the documents. There is still a certain sensitivity to pushing ex presidents too hard. However, asking nicely didn't get much so the the subpoena legal request in June. Lying to federal agents, telling them they had "everything" is not a good thing to do. Hence, the search warrant and FBI document retrieval on behalf of the U.S. government and the people of the United States. The federal government may be ponderous but it usually gets there eventually.
 
Wouldn't Meadows need to be charged here in NC? Not sure we will see that.
 
Why did a judge grant Trump’s request for a ‘special master’?

Courts occasionally appoint special masters – typically retired judges or lawyers – to decide if materials seized by subpoenas or search warrants are protected by attorney-client privilege, and therefore exempt from use in court. Unusually, Cannon also authorized the special master in this case to look for documents protected by “executive privilege”.

Executive privilege is the controversial legal doctrine that US presidents, and their staffs, can refuse certain legal demands if they impair national security or the functions of the executive branch.

What makes the situation even more bizarre is that Trump, a former president, is invoking executive privilege against the current executive branch of the US government.

*sigh*

so what's to stop this "unbiased" SM from declaring everything is privileged? assume this will all just stay in appeal hell and nothing will happen.
