Along those lines I always found it amusing that a few years before Clinton was impeached, Mitterrand's mistress attended his funeral with his widow :D

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I do wish Trump being caught red-handed with top secret documents would be enough to get him in jail. :(
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

It was an okay movie.  The mayor is a dead-ringer for Malthus.

You gotta love it when a defendant makes self-incriminating statements.

Maybe not Trump, but the person who signed for those SCI documents is going to go to prison.  Their custodian cannot even allow the cover sheets to be visible outside of a SCIF.

I suppose the White House has such facilities.  Would the documents be moved from one SCIF where they are stored to the White House one, and would a custodian be always present when the President is presumably consulting the documents?  Or would he have the President sign a sheet as he takes possesssion of the docs and leave him be in the facility with the document while he reads them and comes back later?

Now, that is really funny

Trump Claims FBI Raided Mar-a-Lago Looking for Clinton Emails

QuoteFormer President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he believes the FBI and Department of Justice raided his Mar-a-Lago residence to look for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails.
During an interview with the Wendy Bell radio show, Trump spoke about the recent raid at his Florida residence and said, "I think they were looking for Hillary Clinton's emails."
Trump continued, "I think they thought, and who knows, boxes full of stuff...I think they thought...there was something to do with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. They were afraid that things were in there, part of their scam material because that's what they are, they're scammers."

[...]

Of course.  It all makes senses now.   :hmm:

The worst part is, lots of people are still believing this shit and defending him.

The POTUS is supposed to go to the SCIF to access SCI materials, and leave the materials there when he is done.

It struck me that maybe these are not actually compartmented documents, but more of the phony SCI stuff like the telephone call transcript.  Trump strikes me as the type to label something so as to make it seem much more secret than it is.  None of those TS/SCI sheets has the name of the program stamped on it (the programs are the "compartment" part of SCI; you can only access programs which you have been "read into").  The cover sheets I have seen have the program name stamped on them so that a reader can know whether they are authorized to access that document or not.
