You could just scroll through the numbers and see that the majority of countries had better success at preventing deaths than we did.

He sent a letter to the DoJ saying he had returned all the documents when he actually hadn’t.

New Zealand deaths per capita: 49.65 US deaths per capita: 333.15 Seems like they’re doing a lot better than we are Source

I usually use a KN-95, which is fine by itself. Stopped using cloth masks long ago.

I do wear a mask when indoors in public spaces.

Some Dems are bad. In fact, the reason the Trump appointed US Attorney in Chicago is still employed and able to oversee the Biden investigation is because he’s also overseeing the Madigan investigation. Madigan is as corrupt as they come and the senators from Illinois wanted the US attorney to continue going after him so Biden didn’t ask for his resignation when he came into office.

There’s no bottom.

COVID has, but for the feelings over facts crew, the vaccine is more fun to blame.

Biden is already cooperating with investigators. Do you actually look anything up before posting or do you prefer to just be wrong all the time?

Only if Biden decides to obstruct and lie to investigators.

Most Americans. Even after a million deaths, they oppose even the simplest mitigations like mask wearing.

Trump stole from the government and retained the stolen goods for 8 months after being told to return them. I find it really hard to believe you would oppose the execution of a search warrant in that scenario if it wasn’t Trump.

So if I stole something from you and you knew where I was keeping your stuff, you would oppose the police taking your things back from me? It is investigating Biden. It even assigned a Trump-appointed US attorney to oversee the investigation. But facts are hard for Trumpers

Then I have to assume that Fox, Newsmax, OAN, and all the other right wing “news” outlets have COVID death counters on every broadcast, right?

Ok, let’s try a different tact here. Let’s say you’re a member of law enforcement. You know John Doe has stolen property. He has been notified that he needs to return it. For more than half a year, he refuses to return it. At one point, he then says he’s returning it but your sources tell you that he’s lying and still has much of the stolen property. At what point do you seek a search warrant? 6 months? 8? Never? Because I think the DoJ was being more than reasonable waiting as long as it did for someone who clearly was never going to comply.

There was absolutely zero precedent for the legal relief that Trump wanted. When asked by the appellate court, his lawyers could not cite one case that supported their motion for the special master. If Trump didn’t want a search warranted executed against him, he should have returned the government’s property when they first asked instead of obstructing for months, then returning some and lying that he returned it all. Trump isn’t some victim or martyr to the deep state, here. All of this is singularly because he refused to obey the law despite being given ample opportunity to do so. Had he just handed over the property when asked, none of this would have happened to him.

People don’t care about COVID anymore. They’d rather have people die needlessly than be inconvenienced.

Generally, I agree. This is only an issue when people are asked to return the documents and don’t, destroy them, or give them away. As I stated earlier, if Trump had just handed the documents over when NARA asked, it would be a nothingburger.

I’m explaining what the law is. If the president scrawls notes from a meeting on the back of a BBQ takeout menu, the archives will take that menu into its possession by the end of the president’s term. And yes, Biden also violated the law.

Under the Presidential Records Act, any presidential documents become property of the archives the moment the president’s time in office ends. This is true regardless of whether or not the documents are classified. So even if a regular citizen may not have any prohibitions against learning the info contained in the documents, possession of the documents themselves without agreement from the archives would be prohibited.

Unlikely since Biden is cooperating with law enforcement instead of obstructing them and lying to them.

Just to reiterate: whether the documents were classified or not is legally irrelevant here. The second someone is no longer president, they lose the right to possess any presidential documents, classified or not.

Hey, let me know when Biden’s team signs an affidavit falsely claiming they returned all the documents when they didn’t.

You do not have a right to physically possess any government documents you want, whether they are classified or not. Are you arguing that you can just go into a government building and take any documents you want so long as they aren’t classified? None of the statutes that Trump is being investigated for violating require the documents to be classified. I don’t think they even mention classification at all. The fact that some were classified underscores the potential danger of mishandling of government documents but is not very relevant to the legal jeopardy Trump is in.
