“Primary season is looking to take the form of a legal demolition derby,” tnyCloseRead writes, as the cases against Trump may not be resolved by Election Day, 2024.
Donald Trump seems to collect people who push extreme legal theories, and in the days before January 6, 2021, a number of them were swarming around Vice-President Mike Pence. Their big idea was that Pence could use his position presiding over a joint session of Congress to toss out the electoral votes of several states—and that to do so would be totally constitutional. To Pence, it didn’t add up.
“The President enjoys unconstrained authority to make decisions regarding disposal of documents,” he told supporters at his Bedminster golf club, hours after his arraignment.
Trump’s answer is brazen and breathtaking: he claims that if he just calls a document personal—whether it plausibly is or is not—no one can even question him about it. “Whatever documents a President decides to take with him, he has the right,” Trump said. “It’s an absolute right. This is the law.” It is not the law, and it would be absurd to think that the P.R.A.
The question of Presidential power does factor into the documents case. Smith may have turned to the Espionage Act in part because, perhaps surprisingly, a prosecutor does not need to show that national-defense information held without authorization was ever classified—thus avoiding a fight over which of the documents are still classified.
