Whoever is Trump's lawyer needs to be fired. This is nonsense stuff.
Time to hire attorneys based on intelligence rather than cup size.
“..... just by “thinking about it....”
Wait. What? Huh!?
Yeah - Trump does not know what he is talking about in this situation.
The USSC has ruled that the POTUS can declassify documents if he chooses to, just by saying it, and he doesn’t need permission. You should know by now that Trump is prone to exaggeration, so I’m wondering why you’re making a big deal about the exact verbiage he used.
.
I provided it - what does “at will” mean?
.
As far as the MSM-Democrats are concerned, PDJT was never actually President, so he was never legally entitled to declassify anything.
“This is nonsense stuff.”
A POTUS is the ultimate classification authority. Whatever he deems classified, is classified. Whatever he deems to the contrary, is so. He is the plenary originator of the classification system.
No authority is above POTUS on this matter.
And ABSOLUTELY NO AUTHORITY CAN PROSECUTE HIM FOR A VIOLATION OF CLASSIFICATION LAWS.
If he says they were declassified docs as soon as he took them, nobody can say otherwise.
As long as he deemed them declassified while he was still POTUS.
Who could possibly prove otherwise?
Formality isn’t necessary to declassify documents.
Hahaha, what a moron.
Where the hell have you FR TDS clowns been hiding?
The more likely explanation is that merely taking an action to remove classified materials to a public — or even somewhat unprotected — domain constitutes a “declassification” process by definition. As the President of the United States he doesn’t have to explain any of this to anyone … because the original classification of the materials is established entirely within the executive branch of the U.S. government.
I challenge you to find a court case where a president's legitimate constitutional power to declassify was even ever challenged.
Your challenge is nonsense.
NeverTrump much?
Be gone Troll!
As soon as Trump decided to take the documents home they were ‘declassified’. That act alone defined the process.
It’s the same as if Trump had used a ‘classified’ statistic in a speech. The act of speaking the statistic by a President means it’s declassified.
Did you ever think that maybe President Trump said this to drive the liberals berserk? Besides, the FBI, DOJ, Democrats, and Rinos have been busy these past 7 years thinking of ways to f*ck Trump.
This is true as confirmed by Mark Levin:
2. The former president has the legal right to access any and all of the documents created during his presidency, classified or otherwise. Moreover, the second before he left office, by his very actions alone in taking the documents, it can be said that he declassified them.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 26, 2022
3. This was discussed at length in 2017 when he handed classified information to the Russian foreign minister. The former president cannot be charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 for this reason and more, including Article II Sec 1 of the Constitution.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 26, 2022
If Obama isn't prosecuted, then they can't prosecute Trump.
