(32,088 posts)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.

The Whitehouse notes could be like the Nixon tapes.

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

(115,836 posts)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.

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

(10,667 posts)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.
