    What is the Presidential Records Act? Enacted in 1978, four years after President Richard Nixon's resignation, the Presidential Records Act established that presidential records belong to the U.S. government, not the president personally, and must be preserved

      That's a very narrow ex of what the whole act says, and in this video they didn't even say this much, all for anti trump propaganda. His actions can still be argued as protected under the presidential records act, while biden & the rest of the Democrats weren't even former presidents yet they hid documents in their garage

    I want to know something, idk if there any lawyers in here. If a president made a copy of the documents. But turned the original in. Assuming they are declassified. Is that ok? If not, then why are copies of the deceleration aloud out in public. The constitution is also kept at the same place.

    This guy is exaggerating the law, must be a Democrat. Any info provided by an agency that happens to be copies of the original report which is kept by the Agency (FBI, CIA) is a copy provided to the White House, it is a copy which now belongs to the White House, FBI or CIA no longer has and legal claim over the "copy" of a report. An Agency document would be the "original" report or original pictures not copies of photographs shared by the CIA. Once they are in the possession of the White House, Trump has the legal Right as to how he Classifies the record. So far there is no evidence of Military Reports belonging to another agency, only an audio tape of Trump having discussions about Iran war plans by a General which were published in the New Yorker Mag at that time. If this case goes to Court the fight will be over Presidential Records Act, which is not Criminal. NOW Joe Biden actually took documents from the SCIF an high security info area where no documents are to be taken out, Joe Biden has over 1850 boxes from the time he was a Senator, documents that belonged to an Agency.

      On that recording he stated he had records that were still classified. The documents that were photographed had folders still marked classified.
      More importantly, you should review the charges. Most of the charges in the document case have to do with things like violating a subpoena, obstruction, and lying on legal documents. Most people want to look at just whether or not he had material, but the bulk of the charges comes from him intentionally not complying with court orders and federal investigations.

      1850 boxes prove it you are regurgitating what Trump says which don't make it so no Democrat ever had boxes stack to the ceiling in a bathroom 🤣🤣🤣

    Vice President Biden is ok to have records in his garage… ffs

      1} Yes. It is actually OK. Sort of. Depending on the particulars of the case.
      Goverment officials get inundated with reports and files. Files that they have to keep.
      The question is, how secret were they.
      2} It's not the having that gets you in trouble. It's the lying and obstruction that gets you in trouble.
      Biden, and Pence found files, notifies the Archives, and returned them.
      Trump took things he wasn't supposed to. Lied about having them, then ordered his people to hide them.
      Forcing the FBI to come and get them.
      Since then he's been making up exsusses left and right.

      No that's not ok either. The difference is Biden gave them back immediately. Trump tried to keep them and moved them to hide them from the FBI.
      He could have just given them back and stayed out of prison but he chose not to do that.

    • @RandFanOne

      Biden gave back records he never had a right to take. How about I rob a bank, and if I get caught, I willingly agree to give the money back? Should I go free? Logic.

      ​@randomchannelname2251 they were found with them and the docs were confiscated, they didn't just give them back although no one even knew, they were forced to do so 😂😂😂 is like stealing a car then giving it back then cops forgiving u. Trump was at least a president, he still had some rights, while Biden and the rest weren't.

      @@oleonard7319 Tell that to all the other Presidents from Carter to the Don, they've all kept documents, as President, they have sole authority to declassify any and all documents in their possession. If you're trying to put Trump away for 400 years for not giving specific documents to the archive because they said so... that's a pretty long stretch. He didn't destroy anything so there's no crime here other than ignoring their demand. It's an argument over who gets to keep papers. He's going to walk right through this, because its a smoke screen to damage his image in the election and be a nuisance for him. Legal strategies like this aren't necessarily to win the case but to financially, publicly, and psychologically bleed someone because the Government simply can... and they want to. Everyone knows none of this would have come up if he hadn't declared to run again.
