All any President needs to do is say, these documents are declassified. End of story... period. The President doesn’t need to write it down, he doesn’t even need to tell anyone. If the President says it’s declassified... move on, no story here. There are no clear procedures for the President to Declassify anything.

What does it say about the Biden DOJ taking a 1.5 years to recover Top Secret information that is so valuable to National Security. And when they finally do get a Search Warrant on a Friday, they take the weekend off before conducting the Search.

Then the safe is EMPTY HaHaHa. And the documents are all Declassified.

You Dems have nothing but egg on your face. When Republicans have control in January we move for the immediate impeachment of Attorney General Garland and FBI Director Wray. What an outrageous display of overreach.

According to Brett Baier on Fox, Trump cannot just “wave a wand” and declare papers declassified but there is a process that has to be followed with a paper trail.

So who is right?

“When Republicans have control in January we move for the immediate impeachment of Attorney General Garland and FBI Director Wray.”

Hope you are correct about that. Right now I have absolutely no faith in any politicians other than hearing them run their filthy mouths off.

Having said that..if they have ANY little tiny bit of decency left, they should impeach the whole GD works and McCarthy becomes the defacto leader of the country...if the republicans get the house and senate that is.

So all he has to do is "say it", but he also "doesn't have to tell anyone?" That's just dumb because there's no way to know whether the hell he said it or not while president.

Realistically, he's gotta write it down and sign it, but I'd guess he likely did do that anyway.

It says they were waiting for the midterms.

That sounds really strange. So, Biden can lose the seat in two years time and go home with documents that, say, highlight some of the thinking behind American SSBN patrol waypoints in the Arctic Ocean. An important part of the nuclear deterrent. And then, two years from now, if he’s caught with the documents at a bar, he can just simply say ‘I declassified them in 2022 - I didn’t tell anyone, but trust me, I declassified them.’ And that would be OK? Sorry, I don’t buy it. This has nothing to do with the FBI raising President Trump (different issue, likely a witch-hunt), but has to do with the comment Shab made. If that is true then the whole thing is a mess because that means any President can, basically, make things up and claim they declassified X,Y,Z when they were flossing their molars on September morning in either 2021 or 2022!
