The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So, the Presidential Records Act dispute is over whether the bolded phrase - "unauthorized possession" - can be proven by the prosecution. But here's the thing - there's an exactly parallel subsection (18 USC 793(d)) that has the exact same language that applies to anyone "lawfully having possession...." of all that stuff as well. The defense is proceeding on a theory that if they can prove that Trump had lawful possession of the documents under their PRA case that section (e) doesn't apply (which is probably correct). Presumably, they also have an argument lined up that the PRA would mean that section (d) (as a lesser included offense) also doesn't apply (which I don't see).

Hmm. I'm not much liking the sound of this. It seems that the only hope of a conviction is going to be if Cannon gets replaced.
