Via Emptywheel:

This is important: It should be BLARING headlines that Trump is arguing he can legally steal boxes and boxes of classified documents.

Secrets and Laws:

Of course, Trump's PRA argument is completely frivolous, and should actually be scandalous if the press was doing its job.

@GottaLaff This could be a good thing. If Cannon rejects his Presidential Records Act argument, he's likely to start publicly ranting against her, which might make her decide to protect her own career instead of a senile idiot and start tearing down the roadblocks she's erected.

@GottaLaff As I understand it (and I could easily be wrong), his argument is that as president he could keep anything he wanted that he accrued during his administration. The Constitution’s two emoluments clauses clearly prohibit that. One only has to visit any presidential library to see what most former presidents do with such things, or at least the ones that are not classified. Of course, the very thought that he would ever have his own presidential library is laughable.

@GottaLaff it is scandous. And the press not reporting it is equally scandalous.

    @ChrisHolladay That’s why. He’s intimidated her, or, she wants a SCOTUS slot
