in the form of a description of what TFG actually said and directed others to do. I hope these are the equivalent of the Watergate tapes.

It's not always because he is trying to hide something, but because he's a fucking nut job. However, it goes without saying that much of what he tore up is likely evidence of his crimes, simply because he's a criminal. Everything he does is corrupt.

gathered up the torn-up notes, and took them to another office to tape them together. The Orange Moron didn't know and/or didn't care that he was violating the Presidential Records Act every time he tore something up. Reports say the National Archives have at least 700 taped-up pages.

Trump thought he was destroying evidence. The dumb ass did not know people on his staff were taping the evidence back together.

The Whitehouse notes could be like the Nixon tapes.

5 Fucking Years of their constant drumbeat, just wasted time.

I should have learned my lesson from the years of watching Keith Olbermann say the same about Shrub and his gang of merry men.

and eventually some of it is likely to stick. Whether he actually spends any time in the pokey remains to be seen, but we can hope that at least he is rendered destitute by fines and attorneys' fees and asset seizures and lives out his days in a trailer park in a suburb of Boise.

You can say nothing will come of it. Nothing will happen to Trump.

When you put all the evidence together you can say Trump is going down.

People try to be careful about putting stuff in writing in an email or text, and we've certainly intercepted a lot of that comm.
But written notes from oval office meetings, especially if from a trusted source and corroborated by other attendees...
Holy cow.
