So just to be clear, Meadows' defense is that he was "just doing his job". How exactly is that different from "We were only following orders"? That didn't work at Nurenburg and it shouldn't work here

Napoleon said, "never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake."

[tabo]

"you have the right to remain silent. " like Ron White says, "but not the ability."

Parents, this is the reason why you MUST punish your kids when they misbehave, or you end up with a 7 decades old toddler

As a U.S. Veteran, I am ashamed of this Country and the direction it is heading. The Republican Party is no more, it has gone down the rabbit hole to never return. I pray that Donald Trump and his enablers spend the rest of their lives in prison for what they tried to do to this Country!!!

Very few people on earth have an army of attorneys at their fingertips as POTUS, on call to advise them 24/7/365 . I am tired of listening to his constant MANURE . LOCK HIM UP !

[wientz]

"if it's illegal..it becomes legal when I do it". Basically the whole mindset of the former pee resident!

[johndigiacomo]

Someone should tell Trump it's called an insanity defense, not a stupidity defense!

Trump is just proving to everyone why George Santos is the perfect poster-child for the Republican party.

"I know this...I don't even know that." That one had me rolling. 🤣

[barbaraclair]

"...unfortunately or fortunately..." He has the best words. "I know this - I don't even know that!" ~ Donald Trump ~ That's what happens when you have too many lies to keep track of, the little hamster in his uh-brain goes off the rails.

[alangriffiths]

Still begs the question why did Trump want all these secret papers so badly.

[michellewalters]

This demonstrates the danger of this man to our country. Lock him and his mouth up, and keep him away from any kind of government office.

[karenpiotte]

If he believed he was allowed to have the documents. Why did he go about trying to hide them?

[redwoods]

What happened to Trump claiming that the classified documents were planted?

[forestxander]

"I can do whatever I want, whenever I want"... he has thought this his whole life. Making him president just made him believe it with even more certainty. So disgusting.

[howardvenze]

Lindsey Graham didn't say to find votes, he said to get rid of mail in votes.

[DebraThompson-qg]

I’m finally going to say his name. TRUMP IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER

[NoRamNobiosNoService]

"I have big pile of papers except it is highly confidential. You see as president I could've declassified them but now I can't" The Admission of a Criminal

[eduardotirado]

“I’m allowed to do what I want to do!”
This says all you need to know.
