Multiple legal experts have been pointing to a claim that Donald Trump made during a rally this past weekend as an admission of guilt - one that they claim could be used against him in court. Trump admitted that "all" presidents take stuff from The White House while trying to claim that he's being persecuted, which is basically an admission that he did it. While his claim about other presidents is false, his admission could certainly doom him if he gets indicted, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

One of the greatest things about Donald Trump and the, uh, alleged crimes he commits is that he loves to admit to all of the crimes that he allegedly committed. This past weekend at a rally, Donald Trump, once again admitted that he took documents from the White House, but he said it was totally cool because all the other presidents did it too in a claim That, of course, has been so debunked that even the National Archives themselves had to put out a letter debunking all of Donald Trump's lies that actually happened a couple weeks ago, but he is back at it again this past weekend, and here is what he said. No other presidents ever done this. Presidents leave. They take things, they take documents, they read them. Nobody else has ever gone through this.
You just admitted to the thing that you're being investigated for doing. I mean, honest to God at this point, I don't know what the DOJ is waiting for with regard to filing charges against you. You may not have Espionage Act charges just yet, but you 100% have Presidential Records Act violation charges that you can hit Donald Trump with today. You, you don't have to wait. Like he literally is saying, I did that. And of course, legal experts have been pointing out for the last two days that these admissions can 100% be used against him in court, and that, of course would blow up his entire legal defense.
But that's how dumb Donald Trump is. That's how much he struggles, by the way, to come up with things to say during these rallies. We know he wants to downplay the whole document scandal and literally every other investigation he is involved in. But he gets so desperate to fill that dead air that he just starts saying things without thinking about it. Like, uh, yeah, I mean, I took 'em because everybody else takes 'em and the National Archives is sitting up there in DC going, No, they don't. That's not a thing that ever happened. Yes, some former presidents do have documents. They do have gifts that were given to them in office, but the big difference, of course, is that they went through the appropriate channels in order to get these things delivered to them. And no, George HW Bush did not store them in a Chinese restaurant slash bowling alley. They were in a secured facility that the National Archives, of course procured. They had people there monitoring things. Everything was totally on the level. Same thing with Bill Clinton, who Donald Trump says snuck documents out in his socks. That didn't happen. But what did happen is that Trump admitted to it. He admitted to it multiple times. He has admitted to it in multiple different rallies, and the legal experts are out there kind of just wondering, doj, what are you doing?
What are you waiting for? This guy is out here saying, Yes, I did the crime, and by God, I'll do it again. If you gimme the chance so you can hit him with something and while you're waiting, you can then hit him with even more charges, right?
