You were making good points about Vyor's offered definition being inaccurate, but then fucked up even harder with this. The system's purpose is defined by its creators, not its present operators. The present operators working otherwise is them subverting the system, rather than representative of...

Cite me the official request he did not comply with. Not "well technically this law can be read this way", the direct case of him actively refusing after being informed of the issue.

He did comply with all requests made before the raid.

Yeah, POTUS being the Commander in Chief, Head of State, and Presiding Executive all at once means that quite a few rather important government functions exist solely at his behest.

Hence the past-tense and reference to case law establishing implicit use. It's not that it's retroactive, but that the courts accepted "well you trivially could have made this perfectly above-board, we won't begrudge a missing boiler-plate statement".

He actually had the authority to declassify it, and while I can't track down a citation I'm pretty sure there was a case confirming implicit use for close to exactly what Trump did with one of the many times an ex-president was found out to have had classified documents laying around.

...Does this mean he's forced to wait for the fine of a guilty verdict before he's allowed to appeal the liquidation that's already been court ordered? As in, the punishment takes effect before any possibility of stalling it on procedural grounds?

Important matter of record, he's actually on the rather short list of people personally charged for paying workers less based on their race, and that is from long before the mainstream media broke brains with antipathy for him.

Semiconductor manufacturing, R&D budget laundering, a gateway to the Middle East, reliable MIC customer, there's a bunch of stuff that's important in aggregate but thoroughly lost in the background.

Corporations also become based on force the moment they become intergenerational, as now the determinant of who owns the infrastructure for economically useful labor and who's stuck doing it is strictly inheritances that history well proves demands a lot of force to maintain rather than consent...

Switch "gun grabbers" for "communists" and "guns" for "corporations".
