Little Earl Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, IsntLifeFunny said: It's the exact opposite if a false equivalence. One made a single mistake and stepped down for it. The other is a complete fraud and refuses to step down and Republicans are making the exact excuse I described. Words, learn them. One example means nothing, as I explained. If you want one, then Republican House majority leader Scott Livingston was forced to resign after he was caught in an adulterous affair during Bill Clinton's time. That is an example of a good equivalency. Edited January 13, 2023 by Little Earl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

begooode Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 3 hours ago, Little Earl said: Biden violated the Espionage Act, just like Trump. But only Trump can make the argument that he declassified the material. But that fact doesn't matter to you. Your argument is a charade that you want to espouse with minimal ownership — “Trump can make the argument…”, then spike the football “that fact doesn’t matter to you”. It’s just more disingenuous bullshit. As explained in all relevant reporting, declassifying is a process for information handling, not something that’s winked at by a few people, president included. Also, declassifying would mean a freedom of information act request would release the contents. It’s just stupid to believe it, to repeat it, and to act like it’s some gotcha ace card in this process breakdown. John Eastman would likely approve, though. 1yardshort, and IsntLifeFunny 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reo Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 House GOP to Prepare Emergency Debt Limit Plan January 13, 2023 at 6:33 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 2 Comments “House Republicans are preparing a plan telling the Treasury Department what to do if Congress and the White House don’t agree to lift the nation’s debt limit later this year, underscoring the brinkmanship newly empowered conservatives will bring to the high-stakes negotiations over averting a U.S. default,” the Washington Post reports. “The plan, which was previously unreported, was part of the private deal reached this month to resolve the standoff between House conservatives and Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) over the election of House speaker. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), a leading conservative who helped broker the deal, told The Washington Post that McCarthy agreed to pass a payment prioritization plan by the end of the first quarter of the year.” https://politicalwire.com/2023/01/13/house-gop-to-prepare-emergency-debt-limit-plan/ 100% this "payment prioritization plan" is a way to try and defund the Special Council's investigation into Trump.

There are no legitimate arguments that the President can just snap his fingers and highly classified documents be declassified. This is doubly so with SCI documents that have American Assets and intelligence in them. What you're talking about is stupid as fuck and if a Dem said it you all would be howling.
