He is an ex president, never understood security or cared . Lock him up

[garymay]

That's like a theft asking the judge to toss out all of the evidence against the theft so their crime's won't ever come to light

[gdewyg]

It would be an insult to American justice system for Trump to get away with his accountability

[kurtcurtis]

Outrageous. DOJ needs to pursue this fully

[asynchronicity]

Must be nice to have a judge intervene to help you obstruct justice.

"the most transparent administration" really afraid of transparency. lock him up already!

[jisundergroundfornow]

It still doesn't make sense how she has jurisdiction over this case.

[Renegadeproject]

He was once maintaining that he declassified the documents now he does not want the DOJ to be able to look at them? How is that?

[LP-ctnk]

Isn’t this him proving that he had the classified documents to begin with 💀. I thought he was so adamant about them being planted 🤦🏾‍♀️ If the judge actually grants this request justice and accountability is doomed

[BrianJohnson-dupj]

How can they not view them, the docs have already been reviewed!!! This is crazy. These docs don't belong to him, they belong to the U.S. government!

The bar gets lower and lower and lower

Republicans haven't been this upset since CVS moved the cold medicine behind the counter

[justrelax]

This clown can't decide his lie. I thought he said they were all declassified, or they were planted, or now he doesn't want them to see them because they ARE classified

[mikeeddings]

Hes pretty desperate considering he cant just fire anyone who investigates him.🤭

Sure it's like robbing a bank .Then when you get caught .You just say .I only took the money so it would be allot safer at my house . Because nobody but me would of known it was there .And now because you are making a big issue out nothing .Now if I take money from another bank .Everyone will think it is at my house . You ruined any chance of me keeping the banks money at my house safe now .

[toradog]

Trump's lawyers contentions are so absurd, they are easily brushed aside.

[PBAJ]

What a load of BS. Those documents belong to the American government not an ex president. He’s doing everything he can to stay out of prison. It’s all there is to it.
