Smells like BS. There is a process involved in declassifying documents. If Trump declassified them when he was president, there is a paperwork trail and the documents will be marked appropriately. He lost the authority to declassify them on 20 Jan 2021.
My guess is this is a situation where Trump, like all recent presidents before him, kept some classified documents that will eventually be declassified and placed in his presidential library. Trump might even have planned to “leak” some as an election “dirty trick”, with plausible deniability of course. Some of these are probably seriously damaging to the FBI, DOJ and the left, so they are going after them.
John Solomon of Just the News has the memos showing Trump ordered the materials in question declassified while he was POTUS. Official records exist also.
So it looks like the Dems intend to trip him up by nailing him with possession of classified documents he thought were legally declassified.
Smells like bullshit. That’s the smartest thing I’ve heard or read this entire thread. Marc Elias on Monday come out and he said what the charge is worth going to be. Today’s Friday and Shazam he 100% right. He cooked it up and executed it and he was bragging about it you had it right it smells like bullshit.
Here is the issue:
