about why it's too hard to prosecute. If it is, I'm not clicking on it.

It’s when will he be charged. Until then, I don’t want to hear any more talking heads debating it.

which would relate to preserving communications, what happened to the fact that the people around 1/6 used burner phones and encryption? That discussion totally disappeared.

MF45 was tearing up documents at least as far back as 2018, and was being told he shouldn't do that. Fuck this hard to prove intent bs, he tore up, burned, flushed, and stole documents, some classified, that according to law must be preserved. There are still documents out there that have not been returned.

Congress passed the law back in Watergate when Nixon tried to hide the tapes.

It's like pulling teeth to get White House visitor logs and yet president Obama made them open to the public.

Did I say, fuck this shit?

then every espionage case ever tried can be appealed.

Because laws are just for suckers.

Jurists, what say you? True or false?

You can't appeal your bank robbery conviction because another bank robber wasn't convicted.
