“Nowadays, in the mainstream media, you just need one source to smear Donald Trump, and maybe you don’t even need that.
“So it’s hard to tell anymore what really happened and what didn’t. The documents that were in Mar-a-Lago by all accounts were turned over.
“Look, if the process wasn’t followed there, then that there needs to be something that happens about that.
“It’s not a crime, I don’t believe, but the stuff about flushing paper down the toilet — who knows if that’s even true?” – Sen. Marco Rubio, speaking on Fox News.
Marco Rubio, a fierce critic of Hillary Clinton’s private email server, is far less concerned with how Trump ripped up government documents and took them home with him. Says it’s “not a crime” as far as he can tell. Strange. https://t.co/OI5pAOrZuW

In fairness to Rubio, it’s understandable that there would be a lack of clarity as to whether this is crime because it’s never been an issue before. Past presidents didn’t abscond to their private luxury resort with boxes of presidential records https://t.co/kceib1vI3f

UNREAL! In a Fox “News” interview, Marco Rubio lamely attempted to defend Trump by claiming “it’s not a crime” to violate the Presidential Records Act by removing classified documents — even those marked “Top Secret” — or flushing them down the toilet. ?
