It's courtesy.

Biden removed Trump's security clearance in Feb 2001.

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/02/05/biden-trump-intelligence-briefings-466389

However, apparently nothing was ever done with Trump's DOE security clearance until recently.

This, however, won't caused the case to be thrown out for two reasons.

ONE: If you look at the indictment https://www.justice.gov/storage/US-v-Trump-Nauta-De-Oliveira-23-80101.pdf

Only Document 19 comes under this type of clearance.

19 SECRET//FORMERL Y RESTRICTED DATA Undated document concerning nuclear weaponry of the United States

Restricted Data is a type of classification that comes from the Atomic Energy Act. It is a classification by law, not by the president. It's called "born classified."

https://www.usgs.gov/survey-manual/4408-nuclear-formerly-restricted-data-frd-and-restricted-data-rd-information#:~:text=Documents%20containing%20RD%20or%20FRD,positive%20action%20to%20declassify%20them.

The DOE Director of Declassification is the only individual who may declassify a document containing RD information.

TWO: All the criminal charges in the indictment would still apply if Trump had full active security clearances or if he didn't.

This is what the indictment says

DONALD J. TRUMP, having unauthorized possession of, access to, and control over documents relating to the national defense, did willfully retain the documents and fail to deliver them to the officer and employee of the United States entitled to receive them; that is- TRUMP, without authorization, retained at The Mar-a-Lago Club documents relating to the national defense,

All of this would still apply if Trump had full security clearances. Both General Petraeus and Sandy Berger had top clearances when they were convicted of their crimes.involving classified info.

Nope. The president of the US, the guy who sits in the White House

The 48 hour rules makes zero sense in this case.

This isn't a story coming out of nowhere.

Trump testified in open court in one of the biggest news stories of the day where dozens of reporters were first hand witnesses.

In this case, you basically need to just confirm it was heard correctly.

President of the United States

Trump's first answer was that he did not sign the 2021 financial statement because he was busy at the White House with Russia and China.

The New York lawyer reminded him he was not president in 2021 and he agreed.

This trial is in state supreme court in front of a New York Supreme Court judge.

https://ww2.nycourts.gov/courts/8jd/structure.shtml

Supreme Court The Supreme Court is the state-wide trial court with the broadest jurisdiction, both in criminal and civil matters. It can hear virtually any type of case brought before it, with the exception of claims brought against the state which must be heard by the Court of Claims. However, it generally hears only cases that are outside the jurisdiction of other trial courts of more limited jurisdiction.

Next would be the New York pellet division followed by the New York Court of Appeals That's the highest court in New York state.

The NYC Property Appraiser HAD to be INVOLVED and write-off on the estimates of the building(s)

I don't think this is true. I don't think anything regarding taxes is part of this case. Seems like only bank loans and insurance claims are.

They talked about a low appraisal of Mar-A-Lago in Florida. That have been for tax purposes

Found this as a example of federal instrumentalities

Examples of federal agencies and instrumentalities:

The question was clearly about Trump being president of the US.

He didn't sign the 2020 financial documents because he was POTUS and was no longer a trustee.

However in Jan 2021 he put himself back as a trustee.

This question was about the 2021financial documents.

A lawyer from the New York attorney general’s office, asked him if he had received copies of the Trump Organization’s financial statements in 2021.

“I was so busy in the White House with China, Russia, and keeping the country safe,” Trump said.

I'll keep up, if you'll keep up.

No I don't see the circular reasoning.

And I think this is massively misunderstood.

Why are there three definitions of the US here.

(15) “United States” means— (A) a Federal corporation; (B) an agency, department, commission, board, or other entity of the United States; or (C) an instrumentality of the United States.

Because the entire section is about debt collection, it's about what means to owe money to the United States.

28 U.S. Code Chapter 176 - FEDERAL DEBT COLLECTION PROCEDURE

B covers things owing taxes

A covers things like owing money to Fannie Mae or the Post Office or the FDIC

C. I dunno what C is.

Some tremendous albums came out in 1871.

Who's Next, Tapestry, Sly Stone, Zeppelin, The Stones, solo Beatles stuff.

Oh wait you said 1871, never mind

The article says based on Trump's own words, the interest was coming from Trump. As I just commented Trump has long thought about running for President.

At the dinner, Trump said he was "asking Joe lots of questions about the military" and, during the course of that conversation, said he was mulling running for president.

Trump said he told Dunford: "I don't know. What do you think? Should I give it a shot?"

He didn't say whether Dunford encouraged him, but added that "he helped me form an opinion, he gave me lots of information" on the workings of the military and the duties of the commander-in-chief

Trump's been talking about running for decades though.

Roger Stone set up a draft Donald Trump org back in 1988. He even went to NH and gave a speech or two.

He did have a campaign in 2000.

The Trump family has been involved in politics since before Trump was born. Fred was very connected in local politics.

Statute of limitations is pretty clear cut. It either happened in the scope period or it didn’t.

This was already decided before the trial.

Trump and the AG reached an agreement on this back in 2021 that said the liability can only be from 2014 at the earliest. Ivanka Trump was originally a defendant in this case, but the appeals court cut her loose due to the Statue of limitations.

Some of the defendants were not part of this agreement and they can only be liable from 2016 on.

But some of the loans originally originated in 2011 and 2012. There's no liability for those years, but they are evidence for later years. The loans themselves went like 10 years, past 2014.

The republic still has yet to have a Presidential election since the 1880s period..

So how did Trump get to be President.

He was and still is Commander in chief War time President is converted to CIC.

How does this work? What's the mechanism of this? Isn't the law, that only Commander in chief the president?_

Yeah, people made a big deal over it...... because otherwise the receivers would have been named already,.....but most folks assumed this would be appealed.

JollyRancherHard 3 points ago +3 / -0

No.

The AG sued Trump over 7 issues.

The judge issued summary judgment on one of the issues and declared a penalty. The trial is about the other 6 issues

The judge ruled fraud occurred and they penalty is the LLCs which are defendants in this case (both the Trumps/executives and the companies themselves were defendants) had their NY business license revoked. This means they would have to go into receivership and be dissolved. Similar to a bankruptcy.

Trump has appealed this ruling. This hasn't occurred yet, I think they are waiting to appeal everything. So nobody has won or lost the appeal yet.

The receivership has been "stayed pending appeal."

This just means it's on pause until after the appeal.

They were talking about later in 2021.

When he signed his 2021 Statement of Financial Condition.

Tons of sources reported this today.
