I agree Trump should not be above the law, but it appears you didn't read the thread title. The question was "Was Trump Justified In Keeping His Business Records, Even if Classified???"Bruce » 01 Aug 2023, 7:38 am » wrote: ↑ Trump should not be above the law.
And here is why.
When a man who wears a badge and a gun comes up to you, and asks you to return government property that isn’t yours and belongs to the government, you say yes, sir, here it is, I’m very sorry.
Our parents all taught us that.
If Trump was a poor man they’d have filled him so full of lead they’d have had to melt him down to bury him.
Cooperate with law enforcement.
No man makes his own laws.
First, I don't know why his business records would be classified. Second, I don't see why his business records would be property of the National Archives. Records related to his duties as President...those are absolutely property of the National Archives. Records related to any business holding...those should absolutely NOT be property of the National Archives. Those are proprietary information related to personal investments.
I also think it is stupid that personal handwritten notes are property of the National Archives. Those should be reviewed and, when seen to be clearly personal, given to the President. There is no reason a President should not be allowed to keep a thank you note from a someone he presented with a gift while President...but I don't make the rules.
