BREAKING! ANOTHER DEEP STATE LEAK: National Archives Claims Evidence May Undercut Trump’s Claim Documents He Took to Mar-a-Lago Were Declassified
The Gateway Pundit ^ | May 17, 2023 | Cristina

Posted on 05/17/2023 6:51:57 PM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

The National Archives is claiming it has evidence that may undercut Trump’s claims that the presidential records he took to Mar-a-Lago were automatically declassified, according to a leak to CNN.

Trump says the documents were declassified as soon as he took them to Mar-a-Lago.

Acting Archivist Debra Steidel Wall however, claims there is evidence Trump and his advisors knew of a so-called declassification process.

Steidel Wall sent Trump a letter informing him the National Archives are going to give Special Counsel Jack Smith 16 records which may prove the documents were not automatically declassified.

And the witch hunt continues.

CNN reported:

The National Archives has informed former president Donald Trump that it is set to hand over to special counsel Jack Smith 16 records which show Trump and his top advisers had knowledge of the correct declassification process while he was president, according to multiple sources.

In a May 16 letter obtained by CNN, acting Archivist Debra Steidel Wall writes to Trump, “The 16 records in question all reflect communications involving close presidential advisers, some of them directed to you personally, concerning whether, why, and how you should declassify certain classified records.”

The 16 presidential records, which were subpoenaed earlier this year, may provide critical evidence establishing the former president’s awareness of the declassification process, a key part of the criminal investigation into Trump’s mishandling of classified documents.

According to the letter, Trump tried to block the special counsel from accessing the 16 records by asserting a claim of “constitutionally based privilege.” But in her letter, Wall rejects that claim, stating that the special counsel’s office has represented that it “is prepared to demonstrate with specificity to a court, why it is likely that the 16 records contain evidence that would be important to the grand jury’s investigation.”

Just like last time, no doubt.

I mean, it’s possible, but...

You know that space in your head where you keep things that you suspect might be true, but you haven’t yet got enough evidence to be certain?

Just last week I added this to that space in my head:
America having honored a generation with the title “The Greatest Generation” is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Just to help it along, we’ve designated our latest crop “Generation Z” as in last, final, the end.

The President has original classification and declassification authority; if it’s declassified by him, it’s declassified.

“The National Archives is claiming...”

No doubt under orders from Trumps persecutors within the Biden administration.

Except the espionage act has zero, nada, nothing to do with classification. It has to do with the type of information—whether it’s classified or not.

The whole “Trump declassified” the documents thing is a ruse started by Trump to excuse his mishandling of documents.

It’s not dissimilar to how everyone says Kamala is in charge of the border—she was never Putin charge of the border. It never happened. But the red meat folks would swear on Bibles that is the case.

Get beyond the “talking points” and you will see how full of shit both sides are.

Trump’s staff never adequately looked after him.

They were incompetent.

How will we be assured that this time around, Trump will choose competent staff members, and leave his kids out of it?

I see a King Lear narrative developing for DJT in the near future.

It is hard to digest all this intrigue.

It will make an epic novel some day.

Trump’s staff never adequately looked after him.

They were incompetent.

The stories were rampant even during his term that his staff, even senior cabinet level advisors were frequently working to undermine, slow walk, or outright manipulate Trump's legitimate authority, either hoping he'd forget (which he often did), or get caught up in a different struggle (again, which he frequently did). There were dozens to hundreds of times that he'd announce something publicly that could be done in an afternoon ... and then months would go by with no action.

We know now there is no crime - therefore no evidence. There was no wrongdoing for staff and family members to have witnessed.

Sure, they will leak fake allegations to the press, citing fake anonymous sources “close to Trump”. They will continue to take investigate - perhaps indict or even convict before corrupt judges.

But one thing is sure - no actual family or staff will rat on President Trump, because there is nothing to rat about.
