My derivative classifier training clearly stated that material CANNOT be classified to spare individual or government agency embarrassment or to hide criminal activity. I think Garland needs refresher training.
In other words they are BREAKING THE LAW to conceal embarrassing tapes that actually identify crimes were COMMITTED. It was DOJ that chose NOT to prosecute BECAUSE DOJ felt they couldn’t get a conviction. But, the purpose for classifying these tapes is clearly to conceal. DOJ is breaking the law.
