is potentially facing


And I am “potentially” going to win the lottery.

Weasel words that mean nothing but used for propaganda.

These Democrats don’t seem to understand that they are establishing the precedent of going after former Presidents. One day these tactics will be used against the Democrats.

Trump was the President of the US. He could assign whatever classification he wants, based on that role.

He also maintains the highest security clearance, since he is a previous President.

These people are laughable.

Why did you put forth this question? You know that Hillary is not going to be held responsible. Everyone knows this yet people still waste their effort positing such a question.

And probably all other former presidents have done the same.

This is the Deep State and establishment circling the wagons to deflect attention away from Slo Joe, Hunter and Hillary.

Nothing will come of it. It’s all just Kabuki theatre, noise and distraction just like “Trump and Russia”.

Kirschner is a former federal prosecutor... I bet there is a lot of injustice on his part to be found in the historical record.

They're so scared $HITLESS that Trump will get re-elected that they're working overtime trying to come up with more false crimes to use against him.

Obama scrambled off with loads of documents, to hide them from the courts.

LMAO

man.. these poor morons

smh

It’s sooo sad that Trump lives in their head 24/7 rent free and makes them spew such total garbage like this!

THE PRESIDENT CAN DECLASSIFY ANYTHING, the act of speaking about it automatically declassified it! and nothing and no one can stop him.

“Fact check: The left media is being dishonest about the Trump records issue. A president has discretion on what docs to retain as presidential records while in office. So the law allows Trump to tear up documents, shred them, and take documents when he left the White House”. Tom Fitton

The archivist Ferriero is the same one who is sitting on the emails between Obama and Hillary Clinton that Peter Strzok mentioned in his text conversations. Johnson had requested those emails from Ferriero at the National Archives when he discovered there were such communications.

18 U.S. Code § 1924, which addresses “unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material.”

I have my doubts that a President could be charged under that statute. They would have to prove a willful intent to remove those documents for a nefarious reason. Since a President has wide latitude regarding classified information and if those records were all created during the Trump Presidency, it would be groundbreaking for him to be charged and would result in significant litigation.

Indeed, and the fact is the National Archives are not fully apprised of the status of CLEARANCE as in security clearance and declassification of documents BEFORE THE FACT. They are in NO position to know, whereas the President can verbally de-classify and it’s good to go.

This is a nattering little shite trying to stir obscuring mud from what HITLERY actually is proven to have done, and secondly washed of any guilt by the idiotic claim she never intended to commit the crimes— which has never been subjected to that standard to this day. She had a server that was NOT part of State Department security measures, and she most certainly INTENDED it to be used to NOT have any record of her CRIMINAL acts, and her selling her office for many millions of dollars.

This “article” is another scared as crap response from true criminals.

>>18 U.S. Code § 1924, which addresses “unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material.” The law penalizes the crime with a fine or imprisonment “for not more than five years, or both.”<<

Equal justice? What about the dozens of sensitive documents removed by Hillary Clinton, Huma and Weiner?
