Last year, just before the start of the primary season, Democrats announced numerous trials against Donald Trump. The federal government threw everything it had at him—accusing him of wild crimes based on the flimsiest of evidence.
It’s pretty clear what they were trying to do: tarnish Trump’s reputation as much as they could to prevent him from winning the GOP nomination. But all their disgusting attacks failed to hurt the former president. Today, he is the Republican nominee, poised to crush Joe in November.
Democrats are only pushing their politically-motivated trials even harder. But even those schemes seem to be falling apart. Trump’s legal team called on a judge in Florida to dismiss Jack Smith’s criminal case. And she just gave her response.
A judge in Florida will hear arguments Thursday on whether to dismiss the federal government’s case alleging former President Donald Trump illegally took classified and top-secret documents with him upon leaving the White House.
Trump’s attorneys say their client was entitled to keep such records when he returned to his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, arguing the Presidential Records Act gives him the authority to designate the documents as personal and keep them.
Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith and his team argue the files in question are presidential records, not personal ones, and that the act does not apply to classified and top-secret documents like those kept at his estate, according to the Associated Press.

The judge presiding over the criminal trial against Trump in Florida has agreed to hear arguments over dismissing the trial. Trump’s legal team claims he is protected from prosecution over the documents he kept in Mar-A-Lago because he is protected by the Presidential Records Act.
This could strike a huge blow in the Democrats’ scheme, should the judge decide to dismiss the case. Allowing arguments is a step in that direction.
Biden’s team’s claims don’t appear to hold water. Nearly every president (including a vice president, ahem, Joe!) has held onto numerous documents after leaving office. They are protected by federal law to do so.
Anti-Trump prosecutor Jack Smith claims that the law only pertains to personal records not “presidential” records. That’s nonsense. Barack Obama took millions of documents from the White House when he left—including some from the Clinton administration.
Do you mean to tell me those were all “personal”? Bull.
We know that Trump was working with the National Archives, handing over documents they requested. He even cooperated with the FBI by adding additional locks to his storage facility.
Despite this, both agencies colluded to raid his home—to make him look guilty before the public. Despite having the authority to declassify all those records, Democrats tried to railroad the former president. All to make him look guilty until proven innocent—a violation of his rights.
But perhaps justice will be done, if this judge dismisses this case with extreme prejudice.
