The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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.

...set clear expectations for transparency regarding one of the most closely watched investigations.

"Transparency"? From a "JC" like Trump the God? (commence uproarious barking)

DOJ, rejecting decades-old law, says Trump can keep his presidential records

Donald Trump does not need to turn over his presidential records to the National Archives, the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel concluded in an opinion this week.

Rejecting a decades-old law enacted after the Watergate scandal to ensure the preservation of presidential records, Assistant Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser stated that the Presidential Records Act was unconstitutional and "untethered from any valid and identifiable legislative purpose."

"The PRA exceeds the oversight power because it serves no identifiable and valid legislative purpose. It exceeds any preservation power because Congress cannot preserve presidential records merely for the sake of posterity," the 52-page opinion said.

I wouldn't be surprised it this is what really precipitated Bondi's removal. As we discussed, she was an experienced AG. She knew the law. Openly defying a Federal law could have been a problem for her. The moment she is pushed out, God and Savior Trump gets the secrecy he wants.
