Did the administration already agree to the transfer? I guess the shadow of misrepresentation will be sufficient to halt the proceedings, even break signatures.Slim Cognito wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 12:35 pm I wonder if the buyer is having second thoughts after learning of this latest trump scandal.

Maybe. I think its not a bad bet that the announced price was quite a bit higher than they were really gonna pay, to save face to the stable genius.
Not a bad idea, but I don't think he's gonna need that much space for his "library." I figure it won't take much more than a phone booth to hold all the papers he didn't eat or flush, and that might be a bit small for him to live in...RTH10260 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 16, 2022 5:47 amI know he now hates NYC, but if that org that will be tasked to create a pretend presidential library (with what - they just hijacked all his boxes?) could take over the rental of those top three floors of the T tower and he then could live in his library and show visitors around, much like he does at M-a-L.

I hope they do. He should never have been allowed to keep the lease once he became President, and it'd be great if he can't profit by selling the lease to someone else.Volkonski wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 12:01 pm Scott MacFarlane@MacFarlaneNews·49mNEW: US House Oversight Committee asks US General Services Admin. to terminate the DC Old Post Office lease held Donald Trump, citing the new questions about the reliability of Trump's financial statements

That whole deal he has with that Israeli company to sell it stinks as well. Why are they willing to pay $100M over market? Has anyone ever answered that?Kriselda Gray wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 3:09 pmI hope they do.

I'm generally fairly pro Israel, but it is very true that they have a de facto non aggression pact with Russia, and Israel and Russia help each other out when it does not harm their interests. I would not be surprised if that is a big dollop of cash from Pappa Putin to Doggy Doltus through the intermediary of Israel.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 3:12 pm That whole deal he has with that Israeli company to sell it stinks as well.

WASHINGTON — The National Archives confirmed on Friday that it had found classified information among documents that President Donald J. Trump had taken with him to his home in Florida from the White House and that it had consulted with the Justice Department about the matter.
The agency “has identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes,” according to a letter posted on the National Archives and Record Administration website that was sent to Representative Carolyn B. Maloney, Democrat of New York and the chairwoman of the House Oversight Committee, who has been scrutinizing how Mr. Trump handled presidential records.
“Because NARA identified classified information in the boxes, NARA staff has been in communication with the Department of Justice,” said the letter, written by David S. Ferriero, the national archivist.
In the past two weeks, a series of disclosures has raised new questions about whether Mr. Trump followed federal record-keeping laws or mishandled classified information after he left office. The National Archives said in its letter on Friday that the Trump White House had failed to turn over records that included “certain social media records.”
Mr. Ferriero also wrote that “some White House staff conducted official business using nonofficial electronic messaging accounts that were not copied or forwarded into their official electronic messaging accounts.” The archives said it was in the process of obtaining some of those records.
The disclosure that Mr. Trump had classified information among the documents he took with him from the White House has prompted assertions from Democrats of hypocrisy. Mr. Trump made attacking Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of national security materials a centerpiece of his 2016 presidential campaign.
In January, after lengthy negotiations between his lawyers and the National Archives, 15 boxes of materials that Mr. Trump had taken from the White House were sent back to the National Archives. The boxes included items like official letters, White House documents and gifts that are considered presidential records, are government property and were supposed to be housed at the National Archives.
