Though it’s a national holiday, failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump is stewing in his own misery at his Mar-a-Lago resort, sending out postings that reek of menace and paranoia.
Referencing news that broke over the weekend about additional classified documents being found at the Wilmington, Delaware home of President Joe Biden, Trump suggested that Biden cannot prove who has or hasn’t been to his residence.
Republicans in the House of Representatives have now requested access to the visitor logs of Biden’s home. But the White House counsel’s office says no such logs were kept because it was a private home, issuing a statement:
“Like every President in decades of modern history, his personal residence is personal. But upon taking office, President Biden restored the norm and tradition of keeping White House visitors logs, including publishing them regularly, after the previous administration ended them.”
That’s right: Trump didn’t keep visitors logs during his four years in the White House, probably because he didn’t want anyone to know the unsavory characters he was hosting there.
All of this led Trump to make a posting on his failing Truth Social site.
“The White House just announced that there are no LOGS or information of any kind on visitors to the Wilmington house and flimsy, unlocked, and unsecured, but now very famous, garage. Maybe they are smarter than we think! This is one of seemingly many places where HIGHLY CLASSIFIED documents are stored (in a big pile on the damp floor). Mar-a-Lago is a highly secured facility, with Security Cameras all over the place, and watched over by staff & our great Secret Service. I have INFO on everyone”
Trump’s bragging (provided it’s true that he has visitor logs for Mar-a-Lago) is something he may think proves his innocence, but it could actually damage the defense his attorneys are likely crafting. The disgraced ex-president has just let Special Counsel Jack Smith know there are visitor logs, which he may not have been aware of before now.
Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance had this to say about the visitor logs from Mar-a-Lago:
“GOP leaders who demand that visitor logs be released for Biden are the same people who tolerated the Trump WH’s refusal to release logs while he was in office, let alone for Mar-a-Lago. That’s politics, not justice & needs to be called out.”
Once again, we see Trump trying to distract from his own legal predicament, which is significant. Isn’t it about time someone indicted this douchebag and put him away?
