“for the same reason that Clinton was able to avoid turning docs over to Judicial Watch.”
Are those the tapes they found in BJ’s sock drawer — or other docs?
AllahPundit and Hot Air (Michelle Malkin) used to be respected until they caught a severe case of TDS.
I DO NOT TRUST ONE WORD FROM WA-PO.
I hope you are right about the SCIF. What you stated is quite logical. And Trump does have 24/7 security via the Secret Service.
But if there is any proof that it actually exists I haven’t seen it.
FU Allahpundit. Dirtbag
The government is unlikely to admit the truth. Their affidavit claims that the facility is insecure, but their opposition to the release of it contends that releasing the document we just read would disclose information about the security of the Secret Service controlled facility.
Hard to reconcile statements like that normally indicate BS by the party making them.
Quick question. Do you think that a Secret Service facility itself has some kind of classified communications, access to codes, etc. or any other classified materials? I would suspect that they do.
just why do we believe the NARA press release
It seems likely to me as well. At least to the SECRET level that only requires a safe.
Trump would need Security oversight of any classified material that he is holding. If nothing else, Trumps detailed travel plans are likely to be classified and that would logically be done by the Secret Service. And there may be cases where Trump is sent classified documents by the Government,
But I’m just guessing too. I don’t have any real info.
Well according to George Orwell, that means they're not.
A+++++++ All true!
If Trump has an order that existed that declassified the information, then it isn’t classified anymore. Regardless of stamping, National Archives and what the partisan DOJ and FBI contend.
He was the SOLE classifying authority from which all delegation of lower authority is derived at the time for the information.

That’s true. They are unclassified but the process of redacting and marking up the documents can be a long process. And don’t forget: Many of Trump’s TS documents are not the only copies in existence. Other copies could be stored in SCIFs all over world and at sea. The declassification order covers all of them as well.
Not that this excuses the Biden Administration. They are sitting on their hands while contemplating new and cleaver ways to keep Trump from regaling the Whitehouse.
And that is the key phrase. Keeping him from ... Nothing was done about Strzok, Paige, etc. Nothing was done about Mueller and the heads of the FBI, CIA and NSA protecting leftists trying to depose a sitting President. NOTHING! What they've done now is nothing short of the equivalent of the cowardly attack on Pearl Harbor and they have "Awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve."
If the documents are unclassified then why would then be redacted or marked up? Nothing is secret so nothing should be hidden.

Which means each and every document that Trump declassified is declassified wherever it exists. So all should be available to the media through FOIA requests.
Except according to the law they can: "Upon the conclusion of a President's term of office, or if a President serves consecutive terms upon the conclusion of the last term, the Archivist of the United States shall assume responsibility for the custody, control, and preservation of, and access to, the Presidential records of that President."
Do you have a more reliable source?
FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE UNITED STATES was the 8-year seeding of the federal workforce with leftist ideologues.
Debra is part of the Swamp that will do what she is told and will "accommodate" her Woke Masters like Carolyn Maloney.

Excellent...

Redaction is a voluntary negotiation. Trump could say no. But there are times when even Trump believes that redactions are appropriate. Real Sources and Methods stuff.
Consider what happens when Trump declassifies a document that is in a safe on every Navy Ship. The only way those sailors will know the information is no longer classified is by marking it UNCLASSIFIED.
This is a very long standing process that is routinely done in the military, government agencies and defense contractors. It has nothing to do with Trump’s authority to declare a document declassified. It is just the normal bookkeeping process used to separated classified from unclassified information.
It would be nice if Trump just answered the fucking question.
Those documents don’t belong to him. Period. This is true for every President.
He whines like a three year old.
If he just followed the rules, and stopped obfuscating…his life would be a lot better.
It would be nice if his fan bois just did five minutes worth of research, and at least tried to understand the laws that apply.
When you get a subpoena, you give up the documents. Period. There is no privilige. There is no negotiation.
If he wanted these documents public, he missed his opportunity.
No - you win the whiny Never Trumper medal for the day.
