Trump Won't Stop Confessing To Stealing Documents And Obstructing Investigation

Donald Trump seems to have a very real problem with keeping quiet, and his lawyers are starting to panic. Twice in the last week, Donald Trump has not only publicly admitted that he took classified documents from the White House, but also that he refused to give them back when asked. This is likely going to be used against him in court, but he refuses to keep his mouth shut. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Donald Trump just can't seem to stop himself from admitting that he committed crimes. Now, last week, of course, we had that disastrous interview on Fox News with Brett Bayer, where Donald Trump not only admitted to taking the classified documents from the White House, but he also admitted to obstruction by refusing to return the boxes because as he said, he had some of his golf stuff in there, like his golf shirts and whatnot, and he just, golly, gee, hadn't had the time to go through it yet. So he didn't return them. Now, as if that wasn't bad enough, this past weekend, Saturday actually at the Faith and Freedom Coalition event, Donald Trump told the crowd once again that he did it. Here's what Trump said about the documents that were founded. Mar-a-Lago, whatever documents the President decides to take with him, he has the absolute right to take them.

He has the absolute right to keep them, or he can give them back to the N N A R A if he wants. He, he talks to them like we were doing, and he can do that if he wants. That's the law, and it couldn't be more clear. Um, that in fact is not the law. In fact, the Presidential Records Act says that anything that the President creates or anything that is created for the President of the United States becomes the property of the United States government, not the property of the President who created it, or that it was created for the law. Couldn't be more clear about that. Donald. You are just making something up that simply doesn't exist. But that crowd ate it up. Donald Trump got a standing ovation before and after his speech because these idiots are either choosing to not know the truth or they're so painfully ignorant that they refuse to take five seconds to look up the Presidential Records Act to determine what it actually says.

But you know, who does know what the Presidential Records Act says? Actually, you know what, I can't even say that because recently Christina Bob, one of Donald Trump's lawyers got on TV and totally lied about what the Presidential Records Act says. But some of Trump's other lawyers, I'm assuming, know what the Presidential Records Act says, uh, says. And uh, they couldn't be more terrified that their client has now gone out twice in the span of one week and openly admitted to the crimes that he has been accused of by the federal government. I mean, do we really need Jack Smith to push this trial from August to December at this point? Can't you just show the clips of him at the uh, uh, faith and Freedom Coalition? Can't you show the clip of him at Fox News to the jury and then be like, guys, we we're resting our case. We don't even need to make an opening statement or a closing argument. We're gonna show you these two clips and then you guys can decide for yourself whether or

Not he did these things. I mean, this seems like an open and shut case. Now, of course, after his disastrous Fox News interview last week, there were reports that came out saying that his lawyers were, uh, horrified. They were absolutely stunned, silent, almost, because Trump again admitted not just to taking them, but admitted to the obstruction. And as his lawyers were sitting there horrified thinking, oh God, that's going to be used against us. Hopefully he doesn't do it again.
