I don’t understand. When I was employed everything I did belonged to my employer. When I worked “IT” I would back up the email server knowing that all the emails belonged to the company. I understood what Hillary did was wrong and from a business standpoint that would have been a firing offense or in Hillary’s case was impeachable which would be the Congress’s attempt to fire a Cabinet Member. She was not the first one to do this. She stood there and hid nothing and cooperated with every investigation. But just like the private sector she wouldn’t have gone to jail. Would that have disqualified her from being President? Well in a normal situation I would have said “yes” but 2016 was not a normal situation. She ran against a man that basically was a criminal. He has been accused of rape, sexual assault, mocked the handicap, called women dogs, filed for bankruptcy multiple times, is being  investigated for his business practices and bragged about going backstage at the Miss Teenage Pageant seeing the contestants in various forms of dress or should I say undress. So with all her problems she was still the more qualified of the two, both professionally and morally than Trump and I am no Hillary fan.

Now Trump took documents that belonged to his employer which was the American People. There are not just rules about that there are laws. The Presidential Records Act of 1978 basically says that all Presidential Records belong to the Archives. The National Archives subpoenaed for the return of those documents. Trump should have returned them immediately when notified by the National Archive and the National Archives should not have had to subpoena for their return. Trump did return 15 boxes stating that was all that he had. In those returned documents the National Archives saw Classified Documents and notified the Department of Justice which is what they should have done. Then from what I have read a whistle blower came forward and said that there was more documents that Trump did not return. So let’s see now. Trump breaks the Presidential Records Act and gets caught. He returns only some of the documents and lies claiming that are all that he has. The FBI has to obtain a Search Warrant where they discover another 11 boxes. This does not look like a witch hunt to me. It looks like a criminal trying to cover up for breaking the Law. Trump has claimed the documents are his and wants them returned. Trump has claimed that the FBI planted these documents but why then would he want planted documents returned? I have seen a dozen Presidents leave the White House and this is the first time that this has happened.

Why would Trump want to keep all those documents? I have heard people say it is to hide the corruption that was the Trump Administration. I really do not think that is the reason at all. What motivates people like Trump? Two things motivate people like him and that is money and power. Information is power. Do I think that he would sell secrets to people around the world? Well yes I do, and I bet that there are a lot of people that would agree with me. People have said that Putin had some powerful information over Trump for Trump to want to betray our allies. I don’t know about that but as I said information is power.  Would Trump try and use information on let’s say the President of France to try and influence a situation? I could see that. Is there information in those files about other Government Officials that he could use to control situations to his liking? How much would a country like Saudi Arabia be willing to pay for our plans to defend Israel? If he was being blackmailed by someone like Putin how much damage could Putin do by obtaining our Classified Defense Documents? Trump has tried to capitalize financially by using things like the Presidential Seal on his golf courses which is also illegal so I would worry that money is a huge motivation for Trump.  I would be willing to bet he could get a pretty buck for what he calls his many Presidential Documents. As I said in my 2nd paragraph, they were not his documents they were his employer’s documents. He was not a king that was appointed by God and only answerable to God. He was our President that I always thought was held to the same standards as all of us.

We now have Politicians like Lindsay Graham saying that if Trump is arrested there will be violence and riots. This is from a U.S. Senator that has taken an oath to uphold our Constitution and to me he is trying is instigate violence against our laws and our Constitution. To accomplish what end? Who are they putting in danger? Who are they going to attack? Are they going to attack our police like they did and the Capitol? Are they going to blow up a Federal building like Timothy McVeigh? Are Lindsay Graham and people like him calling for terrorist acts against our Constitution and our Government? That is what it sounds like to me.  Personally, I hope that Trump is arrested and found guilty. Should Biden then Pardon Trump? I don’t know but I remember Ford pardoning Nixon to help heal the nation. Trump will never try to heal America because he doesn’t know how to put the good of the Nation above himself.

  Something I have written many times on social media is that when our Justice Department becomes a tool of the oppressor, we are losing our Democracy. Dictators have always used the Justice Department to oppress the people. Germany had its Gestapo and the SS, which were used to kill millions. Stalin had his NKVD, which would later become the KGB, that he used to kill millions and consolidate his power. China has its Chenguang, which is known for its violent methods. That is how things work in a country that is run by a dictator.   They use their personal Justice Departments to suppress and eliminate threats to their power. Is that now what is happening in this country? I swear, Trump wants to be just like the Communist and Fascist dictators. Trump seems to want to use our Justice Department more as his personal goon squad than a department that serves the people. He is starting with ICE. ICE is an agency that was formed after 9/11 and put under the Department of Homeland Se...

  We are a fascist state when we have ICE agents not in uniforms and hiding their faces behind masks. That is right. We have a law enforcement agency that is running around more like the Gestapo of Nazi Germany than what we are supposed to have and what is valued in America. We are sending not only undocumented immigrants but also asylum seekers and foreigners on student visas to detention camps here and on foreign soil. They are just being snatched off the streets with no due process. This is not the America I grew up in. This is nowhere to be found in the religion I learned and practiced in my youth. This is like fascism. Every day, we seem to hear the term “Extreme Left Judges.” It doesn’t matter whether it is a judge appointed by a Republican president or a Democratic president. If that judge disagrees with any of Trump's executive orders, he or she is being branded as a “Radical Judge”. These so-called “Rogue Judges” are being attacked by much of the Republican Party besides...

  American exceptionalism, we have always heard about American exceptionalism. To be honest with you I never understood what that meant. What are we exceptional at? Sports? Are we exceptional because we produce the greatest athletes? Music? Are we exceptional because we produce the greatest musicians? Because we have the greatest Army in the world? Does that make us exceptional? I was told American exceptionalism is now based on Freedom, not truth and justice. Freedom of speech except for groups we don’t like. Freedom of religion except for those religions we don’t like. Freedom of love except only certain kinds. Is it only what we will accept, that is American exceptionalism now? Time magazine published an article stating the United States has been added to the Global Human Rights Watchlist due to the decline of civil liberties. We are on the same watch list that those third-world countries are on that Trump called shithole countries.   I thought I would never see that in m...
