    What I want to know is what other top-secret documents is Donald Trump is still hiding from the DOJ, and why?

    Did he sell them or pass them onto a foreign power, did he destroy them?

    Trump hasn’t traveled overseas since his loss so where are they at his former home in NYC, at his golf resort in New Jersey, or at Trump Tower?

    Two or more boxes of highly classified information doesn’t take up much space.

    Anyone else would have been arrested by now – unbelievable.

    But at least Rudy Giuliani was forced to admit under oath that his evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election came from Facebook and he didn’t fact-check any of the information.

    A guy on Facebook once told me he was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ – Naturally I took him for his word, naturally...lol..

    I used to listen to it also but haven't for a few years. Try searching for Prairie Public News North Dakota. It might be the same.

    Trump used the hostage-ransom approach various times during his presidency, such as threatening to expel DACA recipients from the U.S. and separating migrant children from their parents in exchange for Congress funding his border wall that he said would be paid by Mexico.

    In the end, those tactics failed and he declared a fake national emergency that allowed him to fund his wall with re-purposed U.S. military money (to be back-filled later at U.S. taxpayer expense).

    His insurrection at the Capitol was a grand example. He essentially took members of Congress hostage who would be released if they overturned a legitimate presidential election.

    Another example is Trump's withholding of U.S. aid money to Ukraine in return for its government starting an investigation of Biden.

    The Ukraine incident caused his first impeachment. His insurrection at the Capitol caused the second.

    Both incidents involved the hostage-ransom tactic.

    Trump's canceling of the bipartisan Congressional delegation visit to U.S. troops to Afghanistan involved a retaliatory hostage-ransom approach.

    He didn't allow the military flight that they needed for the visit and sarcastically told them to use a commercial airline.

    Trump was upset that Pelosi hadn't given him permission to do the State of the Union address on schedule because he had shut down the government because Congress didn't give him money for his wall (yet another hostage-ransom tactic by Trump for his wall among others that he had used).

    He canceled the military flight hoping that Pelosi might reconsider and allow him to do the SOTU address as scheduled while the government was shut down .

    In the end, Trump conceded (a word he hates) and ended the government shutdown (the longest in U.S. history).

    I think (1) he wanted to remove or destroy evidence that would establish a nexus between him and Russia during the 2016 election and on forward. (2) he wanted to send/fax classified info to Putin to pay back favors. Remember, It's about what benefits him!

    It is the same. Prairie carried NPR; however, they get funding from the universities and the government. They get donations from the public, but that does not override the Republican controlled government or the universities. They are acting like they don't want the public to hear what the Democrat take on events happens to be from day to day. But, the state has a small population and Democrats will be making gains, because everyone knows what pile of horseshit the Republicans have been selling for the last few years.

    Rhodes seems to be arguing that he's innocent because Trump was able to invoke the Insurrection Act that, in Rhodes' mind, was there to implement an insurrection to overthrow Biden's legitimate win with the help of militias, like the Oath Keepers, that would have been under Trump's direction had he actually invoked it.

    Trump never invoked the Insurrection Act, which essentially renders moot whatever defense argument Rhodes is trying to proffer.

    Well, what I just got done saying turned out to be true: Now Trump wants to trade files he has for the ones which contain information about his Russia connections and contacts during the run up to the 2016 election! Can you spell collusion?

    He might have "thought" about it, though... dunno.gif

    As part of his defense, Rhodes can say that he 'thought' that Trump 'thought' about invoking the Insurrection Act.
