Is Sundance trying to imitate The Babylonian Bee?
Fail.
Hard to believe that a professional prosecutor would post “documents marked “classified”.”. And use it as proof the document is classified. I have seen JFK documents, Etc in books. All marked classified. Declassifying something doesn’t remove the marks.
Childish
Trump has taken us from rightfully wanting to lock up Hillary for mishandling classified information, to essentially giving her a pardon right after he was elected, to now wanting us to believe mishandling classified shouldn’t even be a thing, anymore.
Classified documents that have been declassified would have such markings. What a crock.
32 CFR whatever states how a declassified document should be marked to indicate it has been declassified.
Something along the lines of:
DECLASSIFIED, 06/01/2023, John Chief, CIA China Section

Great points. Good article. Thx for posting.
“President Obama appointed [in 2009] Ferriero to simultaneously head the new National Declassification Center, which had ‘been given four years to go through 400 million pages of federal documents that remain top secret. They date to World War I.’”

By federal law, presidential papers should be kept separate from personal papers.
If a box clearly has personal papers, it should be reasonable to believe it does not have presidential papers.
Technically speaking, a document that is stamped “Unclassified” has classification markings. It’s an odd phrasing, but when the government or politicians use odd phrasing, there is usually a reason.
I’d also mention that individual pages of a classified document that contain no classified information may retain the markings used for the completed document.
We may find...or not... that 90% of this is word games around “classified markings” versus containing classified information.
Could you tell the jury, what information you might be able to tell a foreign country about that attack plan that the foreign country might not already know from the indictment and newspaper reports?
Not a thing except the type was too small to read from where I was at.
Correction. None of the documents were classified.
Joe Biden just declared my entire Tom Clancy book collection to be Top Secret. He says that they are full of National Secrets including plans for nuclear terrorism and CIA Methods and Operations
That’s about 12,000 pages, And Garland is going to prosecute me for each page individually. I guess I’m in big trouble now.
still classified documents
Some DoJ lawyer that has experience in classified materials cases should have proofread the indictment.
I only looked at the indictment for 30 minutes. Was each document in the case reviewed to verify it should still be classified?
Bttt
Stay calm
