Trump must explain what he did and why he did it

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

On Aug. 8, 2022, FBI agents searched several areas in Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. They removed 15 boxes, 14 of which contained U.S. government documents marked classified, secret, or top secret.

To protect national security, an ongoing criminal investigation, and the individuals involved in it, FBI and Department of Justice officials have a duty, at least for now, not to divulge the contents of the documents, and what prompted them to request a search warrant. Former President Trump has an obligation to explain what he did and why he did it.

To date, Trump’s public statements have been limited to attacks on the FBI, DOJ, and Biden administration, many of which are unsubstantiated or demonstrably false.

Although the search warrant was approved by a judge magistrate, Trump maintained that his home was “under siege” and “occupied” by FBI agents, in a manner akin to the corrupt practices “in broken Third World countries.” He said the “raid” was one episode in a “witch hunt” designed by “Radical Left Democrats” and implemented by Justice Department officials, who are colluding, he said, with President Biden to prevent Trump from running for president in 2024.

2. He's not capable of explaining it.

Not because he has dementia. Not because he's ignorant. Not because he doesn't understand.

Because he was wrong. His actions were wrong. His motives were wrong.

He is not capable of admitting that he was wrong in any meaningful way. He is unable to do that. Insisting on it, waiting on it, expecting it eventually... is foolish, is a sign one is delusional about who/what TFG is.

3. There are no good reasons, which is why he hasn't offered any.

Bad reason #1: He could have intended to sell them to foreign intelligence services or anyone else willing to pay him. Obviously he's not going to admit to that.

Bad reason #2: He could have wanted to keep them around to show to guests at Mierda-Loco as ego props, like his fake Time covers. Who the hell knows what kind of dodgy characters and foreign agents turn up there? But he'd never admit to needing ego props

Bad reason #3: He could have wanted to keep them just as souvenirs of his presidency, something he can look at and feel good about. But he's not entitled to keep any government records.

All he's got is a completely absurd claim that he unclassified everything, which doesn't matter since he couldn't take any documents, classified or otherwise. We will never get an explanation from him because the truth would either bruise his ego or land him in jail - or both.

4. I, too, would like to hear him answer this question.

I know it would be mostly garbage…but, I want to hear him say why he stole documents that are important to national security.

I want him to explain his actions.
