Happy Birthday Mr. President! But Instead of being Serenaded by Marilyn Monroe, Donald Trump Gets to be a Political Prisoner in Totalitarian America

I watched President Trump’s remarks tonight, and he’s very convincing in his own defense. That’s all I’ll say, except, I don’t see Trump being exonerated. Whether he’s committed crimes or not, it doesn’t matter much. It’s like Chauvin’s trial: They want to get a Whitey symbol, they’re going to get a Whitey symbol. --GRA

Another occasion when Trump made some remarks:

Remember this, whenever you’re tempted to feel sorry for him.

Whether he is being now, and has been for years, unfairly persecuted by the Establishment is another matter. He definitely is, and was. All involved in that deserve the guillotine.

One Man’s (Michael Bekesha) Opinion: Trump Broke No Laws in Taking the Documents By Grand Rapids Anonymous

GRA: Bekesha was the lawyer in the Clinton sock drawer case, who lost his attempt at having Bill Clinton return HIS White House papers after he left office.

“(ZH) I Iost because Judge Amy Berman Jackson concluded the government’s hands were tied.

“Mr. Clinton took the tapes, and no one could do anything about it.

“The same is true with Mr. Trump. Although he didn’t keep records in his sock drawer, he gathered newspapers, press clippings, letters, notes, cards, photographs, documents and other materials in cardboard boxes. Then Mr. Trump, like Mr. Clinton, took those boxes with him when he left office. As of noon on Jan. 20, 2021, whatever remained at the White House was presidential records. Whatever was taken by Mr. Trump wasn’t. That was the position of the justice department in 2010, and the ruling by Judge Jackson in 2012.

“A decade later, the government should never have gone searching for potential presidential records. Nor should it have forcibly taken records from Mr. Trump. The government should lose u..s. v. Trump. If the courts decide otherwise, I want those Clinton tapes.

“Mr. Bekesha is a senior attorney at judicial watch.”

GRA: I rely on stories like these to help my opinions evolve. If Bekesha's analysis is correct, this isn’t a witch-hunt, as Trump shouts every 10 minutes, but extreme harassment. However, as I stated, Derek Chauvin shouldn’t have been convicted either, and the legal system has it out for Donald J. Trump (it appears).

Or are they just trying to scare him, knowing full well the doj will not get a conviction?

Bekesha makes wild wrong turn in his very first sentence. Indictment is *not* predicated in any way on PRA. As @AndrewCMcCarthy explains here:

https://nationalreview.com/corner/frivolous-trump-argument-no-1-classified-intelligence-reports-compiled-by-government-agencies-are-personal-records-under-the-presidential-records-act/,

classified docs Trump retained were *agency records* outside scope of PRA. 2/

GRA: So we’re back to nowhere. The jury will interpret whether the espionage act was violated or the presidential records act overrules that. If Bekesha is wrong about his assumptions—or correct—is the crux of the entire case.
