'Like a criminal citing a criminal statute they violated'

'Like a criminal citing a criminal statute they violated': Legal expert mocks Trump's social media meltdown

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-presidential-records-act/

Former President Donald Trump has spent the past weeks since a search warrant was executed at Mar-a-Lago raging on his social media website. One comment this morning was an all-caps declaration: "PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS ACT!"

"The Radical Left Democrat prosecutors are illegally trying to circumvent, for purely political gain, the Presidential Record’s Act, under which I have done absolutely nothing wrong," Trump wrote. "It can not be circumvented, for me or any other President. They illegally Raided my home, and took things that should not have been taken. They even broke into my safe, an unthinkable act!"

Speaking to MSNBC about the comments, the former FBI counsel and prosecutor on special counsel Robert Mueller's team called the posts "nutty."

"President, something blah-blah-blah, records, are, you know, records of the president that made them, so all the records I made are mine."

Best records they’ve ever seen.

A guy came up to me, big guy, with tears streaming down his face saying “Sir, I’ve never seen such big, beautiful records.”
