Ho hum. The NYT doesn’t think Trump breaking the law is much of a story.
On Tuesday, Times reporters Michael S. Schmidt and Maggie Haberman co-authored their newspaper’s first attempt to define the contours of bombshell news by The Washington Postabout the National Archives and Records Administration recovering documents illegally removed from the White House by Trump and his staff and stored at his private Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
According to the Times, Trump was forced to return “15 boxes of documents, letters, gifts and mementos,” which “he had been legally required to leave in the custody of the federal government” before leaving office. The article explained the materials were handed over to the National Archives “after several months of back and forth” with Trump’s legal team, and that those items may not represent the full extent of federal records still held in secret by the Trump estate. As per the Times’ sources, the “hasty” removal of federal records wasn’t driven by a desire to commit a crime, but instead was just the “latest example of [Trump’s] lack of strict adherence … to the laws intended to preserve government documents and shield classified information from foreign enemies.” Indeed, according to reporting from the Times, this was an honest mistake because White House staffers were too distracted by Trump attempting to overthrow the United States government. – Via Media Matters
Chris Coons agrees with Tucker Carlson that Biden should not send out crack pipes
That may or may not be true. Coons might not have commented on the crack pipes thing yet. But it is a fact that these types of attacks by the GOP, were they take a kernel of truth and stretch it 20 miles in every direction typically work. The media plays along and since “Democratic” Senators like Coons typically have Fox News on in their office 24/7/365 – they can usually get Dems to pile on.
It is a shame. Some of these were very nice.
