a former Fox News contributor and trump lackey by the name of john Solomon claims
to have some bombshell story about how joe biden was the one who was involved in
rejecting trump's claims of executive privilege in regard to the investigation
with the classified documents that he took home from the White House.
Now, Solomon writes this in his piece and it's after trump had leaked a letter
from the National Archives to his lawyers to Solomon, Solomon writes,
The biden, White House worked directly with the Justice Department and
National Archives to instigate the criminal probe into alleged mishandling
of documents allowing the FBI to review evidence retrieved from MAr A Lago this
spring and eliminating the 45th President's claim to executive privilege.
Now, again, trump handed over this letter that a woman by the name of
Deborah Wall who's with the National Archives had sent to his attorneys.
And in that letter, it says this and this is what Solomon had reported on.
President biden defers to my determination in consultation
with the Assistant Attorney General for
the Office of Legal Counsel regarding whether or not I should uphold the former
President's purported protective assertion of executive privilege.
I have therefore decided not to honor the former President's protective
claim of privilege.
And the leaked letter, by the way, actually makes Trump look terrible and
we'll get to that in just a moment.
But before I do, there have been other cases involving the January six
investigation where biden through his white house press secretaries has made it
abundantly clear that he's not buying this whole executive privilege argument.
Let's take a quick look at the two examples this year alone.
The President has already concluded that
it would not be appropriate to assert executive Privilege.
Obviously, the president has spoken to the fact that January six was one of
the darkest days in our country's history and that we must have a full accounting
of what happened to ensure that it never occurs again.
And he's been quite clear that they posed a unique threat to our democracy and
that the constitutional protections of executive privilege should not be used to
shield from Congress or
the public information about an attack on the constitution itself.
And so as a result, the White House has decided not to assert executive privilege.
What a bombshell.
I mean, come on, by the way, apologies.
That first example with Jen Psaki was from September of 2021,
but nonetheless, the example is their jink.
Okay.
So there's two things about what they thought they were trying to prove.
They thought, okay, I got a letter that says biden was involved in the decision,
but as we just showed you there, first of all, biden had already said that he
doesn't have executive privilege many times publicly.
So there's no news there at all.
Second of all in the letter, biden says that he's delegating his authority.
He's not the one making decision we have to do is read the letter.
And to me the fact that they released this and said it was biden when the letter
itself says it was not biden shows you two things about their assumptions.
One they think their voters are never going to figure it out.
They can't even read english, right?
Like it's right there in the news story that the right wing guy broke.
It says biden is delegating his authority number two is they know that right wing
media is completely compliant and will lie for them about everything.
Because if they were genuine media, They would look at it and go, Hey,
I like a lot of right wingers.
I like the sense I like cruise, whatever it is.
But here the letter says that biden delegated his authority, but
they think nobody in right wing media is gonna say that they're all gonna lie for
us and we're gonna get to trick 40% of the country into thinking that biden
ordered it.
Yeah, no, you're absolutely right.
What they're hoping is that their readers are simply going to read the headline and
then they won't read into it any further.
But it's not like Biden is afraid to get involved and specifically state that
he doesn't believe that trump is protected under executive privilege.
Again, it's been on the record.
And so this so called Gotcha, this scoop that Solomon is so
excited about is ridiculous.
However, in typical trump fashion,
he ended up really hurting his cause because through that letter,
we learned that the first round of retrieving documents from trump in
january of this year yielded 700 pages of classified documents.
That was also indicated in the letter, we also learned about how
long this whole negotiation process has been going on and
how Trump has been refusing to comply and has been refusing to tell
the truth about the documents he had in his possession in the first place.
Yeah, So the letter is worse than just not true,
at least the way that they're framing it right.
It hurts trump big time because it explains the depth of
his the classified documents that he was keeping both in
terms of the gigantic number of documents and pages,
but also in terms of how classified they were,
the ones that are skiff meaning you cannot take it out of
a certain room are are above top secret and classified.
So it's just it's it's absolutely unjustifiable for
anyone including a former president to have those outside of this
specifically designated top secret rooms that the government has.
So but again, right wing things.
Rule of law is for suckers and for the left and for minorities, it's not for
privileged right wing men, we just get to break the law any time we law,
we like they genuinely believe that this is obviously breaking the law
obviously with our most classified secrets.
If a democrat had done it, the right wing would be apoplectic.
They would lose their minds.
Imagine if Hunter Biden had done this, or joe Biden had done this, or
Hillary Clinton had done this.
I mean, they're still talking about our goddamn emails that were like cooking
recipes and stuff.
So, so those emails had no national security secrets,
like there's nothing close to it and they thought she should be arrested and
locked up for this is 1000 times worse.
And they're like, let him go, let him go.
He's perfectly innocent.
And again, anna several rounds here where they're like, God damn it,
will you give all the classified intelligence back?
Hey, schmuck, we know you have it and he's like,
you know, give it back, give it all back and he keeps the most classified
without giving it back to the FBI because he's a goddamn criminal.
And just real quick responding to what you're saying about
the Hillary Clinton email server issue.
We were super fair in that story because we were supportive of the investigation.
We didn't want to just simply protect her because she's a democrat and
that's the right thing to do.
I mean, republicans purport to put country before their own narcissistic needs or
their ego, but whenever they have an opportunity to prove that it appears
that they'll provide cover for any wrong doer within their party.
Yeah. Look, we were fair in both directions.
There, one we said, Yeah, of course investigated what we don't want to
protect, at least we're not weirdo right wingers who are beta males who are just
like, hey, if there's an authority figure, I'd just given instantly know, we're like,
no, I don't care that she's that soon.
Probably going to be the leader of the Democratic Party investigator
goddamn emails.
And then once we found out what was largely in it,
even though we wanted her losing a primary really, really badly to Bernie Sanders
were like, well, it turns out, God damn it, it's not that big a deal.
So sad day, let's move on.
But that's called being fair,
which the right wing would never know if it's slapped across the face.
Hey, schmucks!
Your leader is a lifelong criminal.
It's super obvious to the rest of us snap out of it already.
