Trumpworld has a new nonsensical theory of his document-case innocence
Washington Post via MSN ^ | Apr 30, 2024 | Philip Bump

On his way into the Manhattan courtroom where he is being tried on 34 felony charges, former president Donald Trump on Tuesday spoke to reporters about another of his indictments, the one obtained by special counsel Jack Smith in Florida related to Trump’s possession of documents with classification markings.

“You probably saw last night that Jack Smith got caught with his hand in the cookie jar,” Trump said as part of a lengthy excoriation of prosecutors and President Biden. “It was released late last night, and it’s a big story. The documents case is a hoax created by them for election interference purposes. And so that one looks like it’s going asunder. A brilliant judge saw some facts and — I haven’t read what was revealed yet, it just came out. But the document hoax is indeed — it is indeed a hoax.”

If there was a big story about the documents case released Monday night, it escaped the notice of much of the traditional media. But there is a rumor rumbling around the right-wing media universe in which Biden and officials in his administration are accused of framing Trump on the Florida allegations. And, as is often the case with rumors that course through that universe, the claim being made is obviously not true.

This one was first elevated by Julie Kelly, a right-wing commentator whose efforts generally focus on defenses of individuals charged with participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. On Saturday morning, she shared a snippet of a court filing on social media.

It’s called chain of custody.

If Philip Bump is saying that something isn’t true, there’s a good chance that it is true.

“Compare this with Kelly's presentation. These were not obviously “the boxes that ended up containing papers with ‘classified markings,’ ” though some may have been.”

So at least “some,” and possibly all, could have been in that batch, WaPo.

The bias in this article is as thick as half-cured concrete.

The washington PEST is just that. Why don’t they just fold-up shop instead of continuing to lie? In your life if someone lies to you twice (giving them the benefit of doubt), do you ever trust them again? No.

With the mainstream media, if they just prefix “right-wing” to something, it’s a signal to their readers not to believe whoever it is said it. Saves them the trouble of thinking for themselves or of evaluating the trustworthiness of the evidence.

When they say “Trump-world”, they mean “reality”.

Any journalist/reporter/commentator who is NOT pegged with the label “far-right” or similar is a hard-core, far-left marxist/fascist. So, there’s that.

Trump knows exactly who Smith and Smith’s criminal co-conspirators are and what is their game. Go Trump!

How about excerpting the part of the article that sets forth the theory, rather than the b.s. editorializing about the theory?

If only Trump had kept the documents in his garage attached to the house where his drug-addicted son lived......then all would be just fine.

How about using the article link that can be freely read without signing up for anything, that way you can decide for yourself what is BS or if there is a valid point.
