They're setting Trump up for 'Obstruction of Justice'. The National Archives and Special Counsel Jack Smith aren't relenting an inch.

He’s the President. Whatever he says is declassified is declassified.

They have no evidence that over ride a presidents right to declassify. These folks need to be terminated and their pensions revoked.

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.

The "declassification process" is established entirely within the Executive Branch of the U.S. government. This means the President's actions in handling classified materials isn't subject to interpretation by anyone outside the office of the President.

There is no way for the President to mishandle documents. He has the explicit power to declassify at will. The Archives can’t change the Presidential powers act. Its pretty specifically worded and wide ranging.

The President decides what’s classified, not some Deep State professional affirmative action bureaucrat.

They’re trying to fool people into believing that bureaucratic procedures somehow Trump a president’s constitutional authority. Nonsense.

Under the espionage act, it doesn’t matter if they were declassified. The items covered under that act are not allowed outside of government facilities.

This is to bump the Durham report out of the newspapers (which didn’t write much about it anyway).

I saw an interesting video of Rep Clyde questioning Wray about the whole thing.

He pretty much lays out a bullet proof defense as there’s already case law dating back to Clinton. And the statute is not criminal, nor are there any penalties. So where does the obstruction come into play?

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

The process is for the CONVENIENCE of the President, and for lower level who want something declassified. but he does not have to FOLLOW it. It is his plenary power. Stupid millennial. The President does not need ANYONE’S permission and his decision is beyond review.

How long has the National Archives had the 16 documents in question, and why is the “evidence” of their “misclassification” just coming out now? How much attention is the National Archives focusing on the many classified documents that Biden had to check for possible irregularities? And what was he doing with classified documents that he obtained when he was VP? So many questions, so few answers.

Sounds like the RATS have gotten to the Archives bullsh*t artists. The people who let Sandy Burglar help himself to whatever he wanted at the archives as long as he shoved it in his socks and underwear and showed a wink and a grin on the way out.

... 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.”

Go ahead, skin that smokewagon! Can't wait to see the Corporate Media try to spin and hide the court's decision.
