Trump Just Gave Jack Smith TONS Of Ammo To Use Against Him In Court

During an interview with conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt this week, Donald Trump made an outrageous claim that is surely going to be used by prosecutors against him in court. Trump told Hewitt that as president he is allowed to do "whatever I want," and he made this comment specifically while talking about taking classified documents from The White House. This clip will be played, most likely, in every courtroom that Trump enters for his trials, as Farron Cousins explains.

If you're a prosecutor in the United States today, and one of your jobs is to prosecute Donald Trump, you gotta be loving the fact that this guy absolutely loves the spotlight. He loves to have people see his posts on social media, so he has to say crazy and outrageous and stupid things. And he loves being interviewed. He loves being on tv, he loves being on podcasts, and every time he does these things, he says something that pretty much can and will be used against him in court. And this week, of course, was no exception when Donald Trump didn't interview with conservative talk show host Heh Hewitt, and Trump admitted that he was allowed to take classified documents from the White House. He said, I'm allowed to do it. Here's the full quote of what Donald Trump told Hewitt, like the records case, I come under the Presidential Records Act, I'm allowed to do it. Biden's not allowed to do it because he wasn't president. It's a special act that was passed in great detail in 1977 in tremendous detail. It tells you everything you're allowed to do, and it's not criminal. It has nothing to do with the criminal, it's not a criminal act.

Unbelievable, right? I mean, not, not only does he say I'm allowed to do it. So that statement is gonna be played in court probably in every court case that you're facing, whether it's the documents case or the Georgia case, or hell, maybe even the fraud trial coming up in New York next month, they're gonna play that clip probably on a loop that just says, I'm allowed to do it. I'm allowed to do it. I'm, you know, it's kind of that, that thing where it just shows how disconnected you are from reality. It shows that that narcissism and that affluent, if you will, you've gone through life without being punished for everything. So you genuinely believe you're allowed to do whatever the hell you want. That's probably not gonna work well with a jury. But on top of that statement that I'm allowed to do it biden's not.

Um, in addition to that, everything else you actually said in that statement is completely wrong. Like none of that is true. Like you're out there saying, the Presidential Records Act says the president's allowed to do anything he wants woo-hoo party time and it's great detail, you know, great. It's in great detail. Tons of details, more details than you can shake a stick at, because I love how he just repeats the dumbest part of each sentence, like over and over, like they, they passed it in great detail. There's tons of details, I mean, details everywhere. Um, that is in fact not what the Presidential Records Act says. And actually the Presidential Records Act is in fact a, a criminal act as well because the Presidential Record Act says that any and all communications to and or from the president of the United States are in fact the property of the US government and specifically the National Archives,

Which means anything that the president, himself or herself creates is not the President's property, it's the property of the federal government. Furthermore, anything that somebody creates for the president of the United States, for example, they write a memo, give it to Donald Trump or whoever the president is. That memo is not Trump's property. It is the property of the United States government. The act is punishable by up to three years in prison. And it can include, can, but not always a barring of holding public office here in the United States. Kind of similar to the 14th Amendment, though, not on the same insurrectionist grounds. So there are criminal penalties. So Trump's wrong that it's not a criminal act because it is, he's wrong that it says the president gets to do whatever and have as much fun as he wants because that's not even a part of it. He's completely misrepresenting this because he thinks the conservative base, heh Hewitt and his audience included are just brain dead morons who don't know any better.
