John Roberts (SCOTUS) has looked and acted like he is a castrato when it comes to anything of import. He hides behind 'numbers' on rulings. There has to be kompromat on him, unless he truly doesn't care about the rule of law. Deep State probably insinuating also that they will ram some kind of court-packing scheme in if he actually would do his job of protecting the Constitutional freedoms. And him stepping down is not an option because there is no Republican in the White House right now. The Deep State loves 50/50 or close to it, because it reinforces inaction and status quo, which means the Left terrorizing the Right, and the Right just posting memes in response.

The Republican house and senate were infiltrated many years ago with recent increased intensity by democRATs who seek world domination. These same FOOLS can't even take care of their own District let alone the whole world. Fuck ups in charge in national governments have earned Extermination.

Everyday we learn more about how lawfare is being used to influence the outcome of the upcoming election. Trump violated no laws, in fact he followed the law to the letter:

https://thenationalpulse.com/2024/04/03/jack-smith-is-attacking-a-judge-for-upholding-this-critical-u-s-law/

Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team slammed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon for issuing an order asking prosecutors and defense attorneys involved

in the Trump classified documents case to file proposed jury instructions based on what Smith alleges is a “fundamentally flawed legal premise.”

Cannon accepted the argument from Trump’s legal team that the President Records Act (PRA) permitted the former President to keep sensitive documents at

this home in Palm Beach, Florida. The PRA, enacted in 1978, permits former presidents to retain personal documents after leaving office but mandates that

outgoing presidents return all official presidential records to the National Archives.

On Tuesday, Smith and his team submitted a filing claiming the PRA is irrelevant to the case. “Not a single one had heard Trump say that he was

designating records as personal or that, at the time he caused the transfer of boxes to Mar-a-Lago, he believed that his removal of records amounted to

designating them as personal under the PRA,” the filing claims.

Smith is leading what many observers believe to be a politically motivated investigation into Trump’s handling of classified material. In December of last

year, a CNN analyst said Smith was trying to jail Trump before the election. The same month, the Supreme Court denied Smith’s request for an expedited

hearing on Trump’s presidential immunity claims. Adding to concerns about Smith’s impartiality in the case are revelations that the Justice Department is

trying to hide the identities of individuals who work for the special prosecutor.

IT ACTUALLY SEEMS PRETTY SIMPLE:

https://casetext.com/case/judicial-watch-inc-v-natl-archives-records-admin

Under the statutory scheme established by the PRA, the decision to segregate

personal materials from Presidential records is made by the President, during the President's term and in his sole discretion,

see 44 U.S.C. § 2203(b) https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/44/2203

(b) Documentary materials produced or received by the President, the President’s staff, or units or individuals in the Executive Office of the

President the function of which is to advise or assist the President, shall, to the extent practicable, be categorized as Presidential records or

personal records upon their creation or receipt and be filed separately.

The Court notes at the outset that there is broad language in Armstrong I stating that the PRA accords the President “virtually complete control”

over his records during his time in office. 924 F.2d at 290. In particular, the court stated that the President enjoys unconstrained authority to

make decisions regarding the disposal of documents: “[a]lthough the President must notify the Archivist before disposing of records ... neither the

Archivist nor Congress has the authority to veto the President's disposal decision.” Id., citing H.R. Rep. No. 95–1487, at 13 (1978), reprinted in

1978 U.S.C.C.A.N. at 5744. Since the President is completely entrusted with the management and even the disposal of Presidential records during his

time in office, it would be difficult for this Court to conclude that Congress intended that he would have less authority to do what he pleases with

what he considers to be his personal records.

1- THE JUDGE'S RULING:

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.648652/gov.uscourts.flsd.648652.407.0.pdf

(a) In a prosecution of a former president for allegedly retaining documents in violation of 18

U.S.C. § 793(e), a jury is permitted to examine a record retained by a former president in

his/her personal possession at the end of his/her presidency and make a factual finding as

to whether the government has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it is personal or

presidential using the definitions set forth in the Presidential Records Act (PRA).3

(b) A president has sole authority under the PRA to categorize records as personal or

presidential during his/her presidency. Neither a court nor a jury is permitted to make or

review such a categorization decision. Although there is no formal means in the PRA by

which a president is to make that categorization, an outgoing president’s decision to

exclude what he/she considers to be personal records from presidential records transmitted

to the National Archives and Records Administration constitutes a president’s

categorization of those records as personal under the PRA.

At the time president Trump brought those documents to Mar-O-Lago they were all declassified. Trump had the absolute authority to declassify or

classify any document in his possession:

https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/484/518/ Department of the Navy v. Egan :: 484 U.S. 518 (1988)

The President, after all, is the "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States." U.S.Const., Art. II, § 2. His authority to

classify and control access to information bearing on national security and to determine whether an individual is sufficiently trustworthy to

occupy a position in the Executive Branch that will give that person access to such information flows primarily from this constitutional investment

of power in the President, and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant. See Cafeteria Workers v. McElroy,

367 U. S. 886, 367 U. 890 (1961). This Court has recognized the Government's "compelling interest" in withholding national security information

from unauthorized persons in the course of executive business. Snepp v. United States, 444 U. S. 507, 444 U. S. 509, n. 3 (1980). See also United

States v. Robel, 389 U. S. 258, 389 U. S. 267 (1967); United States v. Reynolds, 345 U. S. 1, 345 U. S. 10 (1953); Totten v. United States,

92 U. S. 105, 92 U. S. 106 (1876). The authority to protect such information falls on the President as head of the Executive Branch and as

Commander in Chief.

The president, however, has inherent constitutional authority to declassify information at will.
