āOf course they did! They may have been the boxes etc. that were openly and plainly brought from the White House, as is my right under the Presidential Records Act,ā Trump posted on social media.

He does, nothing youāve offered implies or states otherwise.
No, it has to do with a law or rather a series of them an oath to office and an oath to maintain national secrets.
Thatās the definition of a derived duty, and it isnāt what Iād call ālaw.ā
18 usc 1924 Is a law that created a duty, a legal duty.
(a)
Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containingĀ classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.
You say you donāt want to play semantics but thatās your entire argument.
You actually donāt understand my argument. What youāre talking about now is WHY I think trump broke the law. It has nothing to do with oaths of office. Oaths of office do NOT create a legal duty. That code, as well as the administrative law around
from that code is what creates a legal duty.
I understand your argument, donāt be patronizing.
No I donāt care what you think about Trump or if he broke the law.
It does, you swear to follow the law they make you take it specifically so they can increase penalties, it quite literally increases legal responsibility.
