Trump play fast and loose with the truth and the law. It illustrates how slanted our justice system is that wealthy people like him get away with so much. He managed to escape consequences for decades that any of the rest of us would have been nailed on. He pushed it too far. If he hadn't become president, he would have likely avoided all of this reckoning. The comeuppance couldn't have happened to a more deserving slimeball, though there are many as least as deserving!

"The DOJ is showing signs that they have had enough of Trump and his games. The Justice Department has been lied to, seen promises broken, and has had to deal with chaos and dysfunction from Trump’s side.

Finally, it seems that enough is enough.

Via: The Washington Post:

In recent days, Justice Department lawyers have asked U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell to hold Trump’s office in contempt, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sealed court proceedings. But the judge has not yet held a hearing or ruled on the request, they said.

….

One of the key areas of disagreement centers on the Trump legal team’s repeated refusal to designate a custodian of records to sign a document attesting that all classified materials have been returned to the federal government, according to two of these people. The Justice Department has repeatedly sought an unequivocal sworn written assurance from Trump’s team that all such documents have been returned, and Trump’s team has been unwilling to designate a custodian of records to sign such a statement while also giving assurances that they have handed documents back.

No One In Trump’s Office Wants To Take Responsibility For The Documents
It doesn’t take an FBI agent to understand why nobody in Trump’s office wants to take responsibility for assuring that all of the classified materials have been turned over.

Donald Trump is a liar. He already lied to his legal team about turning over classified materials in the past. Only a fool would put themselves in legal jeopardy for Trump especially when he continues to contend that the classified materials belong to him.

More classified materials were already found in a Florida storage unit that Trump uses, so there are probably lots more classified materials illegally in Trump’s possession.

The contempt order if granted would impose daily fines on Trump and his office until they are in compliance.

The DOJ isn’t playing around anymore. A major consequence of Donald Trump’s decision to announce his 2024 candidacy early is that the Special Counsel is in place and not tolerating obstruction of his investigation."
