Apparently MSNBC started showing it, he got about 10 lies in 10 sentences deep and they cut away.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

I see esp. the destruction of records as a very likely risk. He's paranoid about people spying on him or finding out things about him, so I would expect that he would try to get rid of anything that he considers potentially incriminating.

The Presidential records Act would seem to protect against that, but the pardon power makes the PRA invalid.  Trump could order a small group to defy the act and destory whatever he wants, then issue them a blanket pardon.

The only hope is that he is serious about the absurd idea of running again in 2024.

It seemed more about trying to save his grip on the Republican party than anything else.

Is there anything that he could do/have done to him legally or whatever that would prevent him from running again? Aside from death of course. Although that isn't enough to prevent people from running and winning it seems.

Unless convicted of  federal felony, not as far as I am aware.  Getting impeached would make him ineligible, but he cannot be impeached when out of office.

Al Jazeera I think covered it in full as I watched that last half or so of it.

Then there was a bit of a dust up between their news anchor and their White house correspondent who took exception to the statement that Trump had made unsubstantiated claims. Very odd, one journalist flat out challenging the other and at the same time 'defending' Trump.   :huh:

are you sure?  I remember reading something about it 2 years ago, some treasury official that got impeached after being sacked...  It was from the 19th century, either during Ulysse S. Grant's presidency or just after.

Yeah, that's probably an OAN reporter.  They are really far up Trump's ass, and none too bright.  Yesterday they were complaining that Democrats are hypocrites because they focus on mail-in when woman can vote too.  At least that's what my brother said, he's the one that watches those asshole.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Thanks for the explanation Raz.

Steve Bannon fantasizes about not just firing Fauci and Wray, but "going back to Tudor England" and putting their heads on spikes in front of the White House as warning to federal bureaucrats to get with the program.

I remember early in his administration there was a story about how Trump after he's done with notes tears them apart and puts them in the bin. There were some White House staff who were tasked with reconstructing the President's papers to meet the PRA requirement :bleeding:

I don't mind telling you that I hate MSNBC.  My mom has it on 24/7 even while she sleeps.  Drives me batty.  She'll tell me about some political event, or scandal, or whatever and when I check to make sure it's true I find out that it is not.
