Why is it that Trump was caught multiple times, hiding docks and he's still walking the streets? If I was found to just have one, I would've been jailed immediately. Yes, you would have. And Wayne, I hope you do not have any, uh, classified documents cuz we are sending the FBI to your house right now just to make sure. No, I'm kidding with you, Wayne. Um, you're, you're right. It, it does seem crazy, doesn't it? We are living in a time when the former president of the United States who was impeached twice, always remember that busted, hiding these highly classified documents, lying, having his legal team lie to the federal government about even having the documents. And then once we think everything's cool, okay, we've got all the documents back. At least we learned that oh, nope, he actually had a couple more in a storeroom down there in South Florida.

Okay, well, where else are you hiding 'em? I refuse to believe just me personally, that that's all the documents. There's gotta be more somewhere. If he's hiding 'em in two different locations, the likelihood that there's more out there in other places is exceptionally high. But we shouldn't even be having that conversation. He should have already been indicted. I mean, this case is so crystal fricking clear. I I don't even know how to finish that because it's so crystal clear, right, I mean, we are looking at a guy you are legally, the law is very clear. You legally can't have these at all. And the, the government had been working for almost a year with him to get 'em back. So they knew he had 'em, he knew, they knew he had them, his lawyers knew that he knew that. They knew that they had them and none of like, just nothing.

They just didn't give him back until finally they had to go send the FBI down there. So even though the government knew he was breaking the law, they, they didn't want to have to arrest him for it. They knew it was illegal, but they didn't want to do it. And so now that they finally had to do it, the question is why not just arrest him on the spot as well? Like, that makes no sense to me. His possession of the documents, classified or not, is a violation of the Presidential Records Act, which is a felony. He should have been arrested on site. It's like if, if, if, if the police were to come into your house and find 80 kilos of cocaine, they're not just gonna take the cocaine and wish you a good day and say we're gonna investigate this. No, you're arrested for possession. So it probably with intent to distribute if you've got that much. Um, so why was he not arrested for possession on the spot? That makes no sense. And uh, I honestly think that is, that that is basically our justice system in enough sh in a nutshell, it makes no sense, but nothing these days seems to make any sense.
