let’s see. last N lies of the Libs proven to be lies...time to create some more.
The librarians at the national archives are treating the Trump Presidency differently than other Presidents.
“The librarians & the DOJ are looking snitty on this non issue.”
If Trump says they’re declassified, they’re declassified. He’s the only one who can do that.
Doesn't matter. The National Archives does not review the power of the chief executive to classify and declassify at will.
Wasn't there a moment where Trump declassified information on the fly in a meeting with Russia and there was much pearl clutching?
the President of the United States has the right to declassify any and all documents for any reason of his choosing. Period.
This will be interesting to see at the SCOTUS, if it makes it there. Presumably, the POTUS and only the POTUS is the single arbiter of what is and isn’t classified. And as such, can tell the National Archives what they can do with their “processes.”
The bigger question is why there isn’t any interest in the classified documents that FJB had. He literally had absolutely no right to have ANY classified documents in his possession as a Senator/ex-Senator or Vice President/ex Vice President. He couldn’t have granted himself any rights to have them and as such, violated multiples for every single classified document that he had. And with reports of him having hundreds of documents, he would have the possibility of facing hundred, if not thousands, of individual charges.
But he is a Democrat . . .
They’re scared sh!tless of 2024. They should be.
Well, the rape case didn’t go anywhere, so they’re moving on to the NEXT thing. They know these are all BS cases, they just want to drive the narrative that Trump is SO BAD that everything he does is illegal!
(Just waiting for someone to bring up something that “Should he somehow win the presidency, he could be impeached for!”. That’s the only thing missing, and I figure I’ll have to wait until next summer for that one.)
My guess? They have him dead to rights on it,
and the indictment will come down sometime in July-August time frame. DOJ is just now using the NARA assertion to start to lock in the case at the highest level, then Garland makes the political decision to light the fuse or not.
It is almost certain , or some of (enough of), his closest aides and body men and valets in M-A-L flipped, not to mention even possibly members of his family.
These jerks are so pathetic. No one cares. This crap has been going on for decades. The jerks who mention “nuclear codes” reveal themselves as clueless idiots.
Trump could declassify them at will. It’s not possible they weren’t Declassified.
Lol… it will go no where. The docs theyre finding all over the country from others mutilates their cases. The fact we havent seen leaks of exactly what these docs are , means they’re not sensitive. From some accounts he took letters from worlds leaders and mementoes. Not nuke codes and spy contact lists.
“...claims there is evidence Trump and his advisors knew of a so-called declassification process.”
Certainly. The process: Trump, thinking, “These documents are declassified.”
An underling in the Executive Branch does not have veto power over the President, or does not have the authority to require the President to request permission.
All that matters is what the corrupt US media can make the people believe is true.
OBTW, has anyone yet pinpointed what specifically the Deep State is?
Anyone?
LOL
They didn’t follow the librarians lady’s process!
Missing from that description for me is anything beyond a wish that those records should properly be understood as the law. Why is there no mention of these referenced records' contextual relationship to THE PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS ACT?
They seem, rather, to be letters from NARA-types explaining what they desire Trump should do and what declassification procedures may have been like for others in the past...
except for Biden, of course!
Is there any public record, contentious, disparaging or otherwise, leaked, official or otherwise, of what the NARA interactions have been with the octogenarian presidential candidate and his 1850+ boxes containing classified documents--that were formerly stored in Chinatown and inconceivably authorized to have been declassified by anyone--on the LEFT side of the aisle? I didn't think so.
So we're predictably witnessing further evidence of multi-tiered treatment and persecution of Trump, conservatism and the right by appointed government functionaries.
“The National Archives is claiming...”
No doubt under orders from Trumps persecutors within the Biden administration.
This wil keep Trump’s lawyers busy.
Deep Warlockery, lot.
