Even Lindsay Graham Can't Believe His Side Is That Stupid

On Fox & Friends, Lindsey Graham says he doesn't trust the NYT & Post reporting about Trump having more than 700 pages of classified documents in his possession -- the only problem is that detail actually came from John Solomon's right-wing propaganda site https://t.co/nuM3LFL2nw pic.twitter.com/26SG3KePOo

Does Dan Crenshaw really think this is a legitimate defense after John Solomon released the letter NARA also released, showing Trump's evasions and refusals to release documents. Crenshaw asks rhetorically "Does anybody really believe Trump had nuclear secrets?" According to the NARA letter: yes, they did.

Some nice tick-took texture in this Post dive on Trump’s resistance to giving back government documents and then his slow-walking the FBI before saying he was caught off guard by the search of his property >> https://t.co/ckYZDBz1or

And just this morning:

Trump whines over classified documents: 'I don't understand why I can't have these things' https://t.co/82eqnjMtih

A source told The Wall Street Journal that Trump wants the FBI to return about two dozen boxes that included 11 sets of classified information.

“He has said, ‘People put this stuff in their library. How can they put it in their library if it has to go back to the Archives? I don’t understand why I can’t have these things,’ ” the source said.

The search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate came after the former president refused to return documents belonging to the National Archives.

The stories about how Trump saw government records as his personal property just keep coming.  What's the Crenshaw defense now?  "Fake news"?
