Like I said, it's an apples and oranges comparison.
You've (apparently) seized on it because on its face it appears to be
similar to and may have
some relation or bearing upon Trump's theft of US Government classified documents.
If one were
operating in good faith and wanted to actually
understand why it's irrelevant, one would start by assessing how the cases are
different ... rather than seizing on whatever
similarities that appear at first blush to exist. Or, God forbid, asserting that they are
the same ...
They aren't.
Yup - and you might want to actually read ABJ's entire ruling on the matter (it's only 27 pages) ... rather than taking some talking head's representations of what the ruling was and what it held.
Fitton litigated the case - and this is really key ... so pay really close attention - and LOST.
His "theory of the case" (that the tapes, were in fact,
presidential records) was repudiated by the court.
In fact, after reading the entire opinion, I was truly impressed by how many spankings ABJ gave Fitton and Judicial Watch about getting so many things in the law wrong ...
Wrong.
But feel free to cite where in AJB's opinion the court
held that they were in fact
"presidential records" ... if you feel my characterization above ("Wrong") is inaccurate.
You got a cite for that ? (cite meaning a link to a DOJ court-filed document, preferably in its entirety)
After the drubbing Tommy got in court at the hands of ABJ, I'm not at all surprised he's still trying to turn
that sow's ear into a silk purse ...
He should probably go pump a little iron and try to calm down ...
