    Interesting development... Seems that the documents Trump took with him were the documents on the corrupt Crossfire Hurricane fiasco. This was all the evidence needed if he was to eventually hold the evil doers accountable.

    You are going to have to come up with some real facts if you want anyone to pay any attention.

    This shows the actual document Trump signed to declassify said documents.

    May or may not be... They usually don't raid homes for unclassified material... they may have something going like Bragg in NY where he's trying to make a federal case, one that he has no jurisdiction in, maybe they have something cooking like that...

    Trump took documents that didn't belong to him. Some were classified and some were not.

    He was asked to return those documents but he did not. When the FBI went looking for the doco's at Mar-a-Lago they found them (some of them, some are still missing). That is the issue.

    Actually that has been one of the issues. That is, the claim that Trump declassified the documents could not be correct because he was no longer president when he supposedly "declassified" them. If he did so before
    leaving office, that means he apparently did have the authority to
    declassify the documents.

    Trump declassified the documents, like he said he did. None were classified because he declassified them. Documents revealed the other day on twitter, later discussed on the news reinforces this.

    2. Whether the documents are classified or not is not relevant to some

    Making a trip out of the White House alone does not declassify, correct.

    This idea that documents can be declassified simply buy thinking about it or

    nding order is beyond ridiculous.

    The President, while he is President, can declassify as least some
    categories of classified documents. So, if he was President when he did
    so, and they were in a category that he could declassify, they are declassified.

    Your fur... er, prime minister may have many more absolute powers, but the
    US President has a few powers of his own.

    I'll say it again since you seem to keep missing the point.

    Documents don't get declassified simply because they made the trip to Mar-a-Lago (or any other place). It also doesn't happen based on a standing order that documents moved from one place to any other place are declassified.

    Your fur... er, prime minister may have many more absolute powers, but the

    The Prime Minister of Canada has many absolute powers just like the President of the USA.

    In both cases these leaders can be removed by the voters in those countries.

    It was only a short time ago that the conservatives held power in Canada. They used those powers like dictators and did things that were unpopular with Canadian voters and that is why they are no longer in power.

    When addressing Donald Trump, he is always to be addressed

    Now he says he will NOT back. And you know what that means -

    With apologies to Jimmy Buffett.

    He had them right where he wanted them - by his bedside.

    I am not certain as to how far the autority for a sitting President goes
    into what they might or might not be able to declassify, especially
    without coordination with the issuing authority. There were documents
    kept at Mara Logo with the marking of ORCON which can be declassified
    (or even distributed) only with approval of the issuing authority.

    That's what the Ignorant Elites do when presented with facts. They just keep repeating what they WANT to be true. After all, if you repeat the lie enough times, it becomes true, right?

    It has not been proven that all of the documents he had
    were still classified. I do find it hard to believe that they all were officially declassified because there were so many of them.

    The only thing that's obvious with the classified documents is:
    1. The Trump document situation is harassment. There may be something there, but it's minor compared to...
    2. The Biden document situation which is majorly illegal - since Biden didn't have the authority to declassify them, and they were not stored properly. Yet this seems to be getting sweeped under the rug.
    and
    3. The Trump indictment came right when we have proof of Biden taking bribes as VP. Can anyone say "distraction"?

    Really? Should the person or agency that classified the documents originally be involved?


    No... you should look up the case they had against Bill Clinton... Court case

    :Start
    The president's authority is absolute and there is none higher... What the judge said in the Clinton case...
    The 2012 case arose when the organization Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit seeking Clinton's documents pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act. Litigation ensued to pressure the National Archives into retrieving the materials. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that control over presidential records rests squarely in the hands of a former president:

    The National Archives does not have the authority to designate materials as presidential records. It lacks any right, duty, or means to seize control of them.

    The judge adopted the very argument made in court by the Justice Department:

    (Seizing the records) is an extraordinary request that is unfounded, contrary to the Presidential Records Acts express terms, and contrary to the traditional principles of administrative law
    :Finish

    Here's the problem... there is a legal president... Judge says there is no authority higher than the president... Hopefully the judge in Florida is a constitutionalist and doesn't get dragged into the partisan garbage and she sees it for what it is... Political garbage

    The National Archives does not have the authority to designate materials as presidential records. It lacks any right, duty, or means to seize control of them.

    Right, the national archive simply archives those records.

    While the president does have authority, they are presidential records after all.. the presidential records are owned by the people, not the president.

    It's true that many of these documents had various classifications.

    For the laymen in the audience, TS/SCI would be a classification, or classifications, of documents that a President does not have the authority to declassify?

    I am not certain as to how far the autority for a sitting President goes
    into what they might or might not be able to declassify, especially
    without coordination with the issuing authority. There were documents
    kept at Mara Logo with the marking of ORCON which can be declassified
    (or even distributed) only with approval of the issuing authority.

    So TS/SCI would be ORCON, or would mean something else. Either way, ouch!

    Oh, well that's OK then!

    Presidents have Plenary Authority....

    Trump has plenary authority of his own personal records, sure.

    Presidential records not so much.

    and they can take whatever they want...

    Then why did he say he had returned all those documents?

    And why did the FBI find all those records when they searched Mar-a-Lago?

    think Obama has over 300,000,000 documents stored somewhere...
    George W, and all presidents dating back to the origins of the Presidential Records Act have copies of Documents and "ALL" have stored them in a hap-hazzard way.

    He may well have some amount of documents. I don't think it is 300,000,000.

    He didn't conceal the fact that he had documents.

    The current president stored classified documents in a car garage and as VP or senator he did not have Plenary Authority to have any of these documents.

    I'm sure he did too although I am not sure where they were stored.

    When those records were found Biden told NARA he had them and they could come and get them. More were found and likewise he simply returned them.

    He invited NARA or the FBI to search his home/office if thay wanted to.

    He did not try to conceal these documents as Donald Trump did and when these documents were found they were returned. No search warrants were needed or executed.

    The Presidential Records Act has no legal jurisdiction here... This
    is why the are trying the espionage angel. Hopefully the judge that was appointed to the case will not be buying the Biden administration's brand of BS.

    I'm not sure why you bring up the presidential records act. Donald Trump was charged with 37 criminal counts related to national security.

    I am sure you are aware Biden did not bring any charges. A grand jury in Florida did. A jury of Donald Trumps peers.

    Hello Joe,

    While the president does have authority, they are presidential records
    after all.. the presidential records are owned by the people, not the
    president.

    I bought a hard copy of the constitution and I red it today..

    All in one sitting? Wow! Do you remember the first three words?
    Those are the most important. "We the People ..."

    as well as all of the amendments,

    Those had to be added after the original was passed and ratified.

    the Declaration of Independence

    The Declaration of Independence is not part of the US Constitution,
    but does express a few things this country is founded on. You really
    should read the whole thing, not just the first part. And remember
    those who signed it became instant enemies of the state, having a
    price on their heads.

    and as well as the Articles of Confederation....

    The Articles of Confederation is not, and never has been, a part
    of the US Constitution. During its very brief run as our law of the
    land, people from everywhere realized it was unworkable and ditched
    it so a new one would have to be written.

    Anyway... Trump had copies, not originals.... all presidents take copies.

    Even if Trump had, or does have, a copy of the US Constitution,
    he would not understand a single word it says.

    It's really not a lot of reading...


    as well as all of the amendments,

    Those had to be added after the original was passed and ratified.


    Point??

    There is the ability to amend the constitution... The first 10 were negotiated prior to the ratification of the constitution... so that they could get enough people to vote it in... That's why the Bill of Rights followed in on 12-15-1791, all 10 amendments were added at one time because without those holdout states who wanted Individuals to have a bill of rights we might not have a constitutional republic today.

    The bar to add an amendment is high, apparently 1,000s of attempts have been made to add an amendments to the constitution.... only 27 took so far.

    I have a suggestion for amendment 28... Term limits for Representatives and Senators... And the 29'th amendment should make sure Trans-gender have a safe place to poop...

    the Declaration of Independence

    The Declaration of Independence is not part of the US Constitution,
    but does express a few things this country is founded on. You really should read the whole thing, not just the first part. And remember

    I didn't say it was part of the constitution... It was part of the book I got... you sound like a bitter man... I hope I didn't miss-gender you.

    A long time ago, at a company that I worked for, they did some very nasty layoffs. Just before that happened, they named this guy that no one had heard before to the CEO position. This new guy was also close to retirement.

    tl;dr; This new CEO was the person who "did" all the cuts. So all the negative feelings were toward him. Shortly after the cuts, he retired (and probably got a nice big "thank you" check). When he retired, he took all those negative feelings with him (so Management thought).

    IHMO: Biden is no different. They will keep hanging stuff on him. Shortly after his term is up, he'll "have a stroke". No criminal, no trial.

    Wrong. Although the 31 documents included in the indictment are
    classified, they are still National Defense Information whether or not
    they are. I have been told that in fact the Espionage Act on NDI was written *before* the current classification system came into being --
    i.e. the violation of that act does not depend on them being classified, just that they are NDI. Whether or not that interpretation is true or
    not, I leave to the lawyers.

    If they contain NDI, I would expect them to be classified, so I stand
    on my statement. If they were not classified (because they contain
    NDI), he'd not be in trouble for not returning them.

    They were apparently classified, because they do apparently contain
    NDI, so he is being investigated.

    If this was before the current classification system, then he'd still
    be in trouble, yes.

    The distinction only comes into play against the claim that Trump
    declassified documents. Even if that were true, the fact that they were
    still NDI means that they are still violations of the Espionage Act, or
    at least that was some of the reporting a while back. It is really a
    minor, perhaps mute, point.

    He has actually tried to change the debate now... from whether or not
    he
    could have been declassified to it doesn't matter what their
    lassificatio
    was. <rollseyes>

    I am not, you are.

    False.

    True. I have tried to convey this to you.

    To convey that the debate changed, yes.

    I would go back and find the messages that contradict your claim, including direct quotes from you, but then you would only claim that you "didn't say that" even though it is quoted directly back and you are the source.

    I may comment when someone brings up the "presidential records act", but I
    on
    think that is the big issue here.

    A bigger issue is what did Donald Trump do with all these documents?

    Apparently, he kept them at Mar-a-Lago where the government thinks that 30+
    of them should not have been kept. We shall see what happens with these charges.

    True. I have tried to convey this to you.

    To convey that the debate changed, yes.

    To convey that is not the big issue. For example Donald Trump was not charged with some document process. He is charged with conspiracy, abstruction and the like.

    I don't know the actual number of documents. I don't hink the DOJ or Donald Trump himself knows either.

    There were 30+ boxes of in the bathroom alone.
