If the CiC does not have ultimate authority to declassify, who does?

Only certain CiC's can declassified. Like EVERYTHING else, it must be viewed through a political prism to separate those that can and those that cannot.

Because the disposition of classified documents is a priority in your life?

Not at all. I’m not just talking about recent matters. When it comes to information that needs to be classified then regardless of who you are treat them as such. If it deals with people and their names realize that and talk to whomever made the document or has knowledge of the situation.

How do you know how Trump treated the stuff he had?

And that's my point. Every ounce of energy focused on Donald Trump and classified documents is an ounce of energy that cannot be focused on the reality that the Left is doing everything imaginable to crater this country's economy in a way that'll take years to correct. For every one of your thoughts/words about Donald F'n Trump, I really hope you're spending 10,000 on the economy, the open border and the Left's war on the American middle class.

MYSTERY: Remains unclear where federal grand jury is impaneled -- D.C. District or Southern District of Florida? Also confusion over where scene of alleged "crime" is -- did alleged "crime" occur in the White House, where documents were removed, or Mar-a-Lago, where docs were stored? If the former, Biden prosecutors could easily get a DC grand jury to indict Trump, but less likely in S. Florida.

DEVELOPING: Joe Biden appears to have set Trump up to exposure to laws against mishandling classified information by denying him continued intelligence briefings as is customary for ex-presidents, a ban that effectively de-activated Trump's presidential SCIF at Mar-a-Lago, which is why the FBI affiant for the search warrant expressly & repeatedly stated in his unsealed affidavit that--"currently"--there's no "authorized" storage spaces at Trump's estate, which in turn made his possession of such info allegedly "unauthorized" --"at least since the end of FPOTUS's presidential administration on Jan. 20, 2021." IOW, if Trump had continued to receive intel briefings at Mar-a-Lago as he had as president (& as FPOTUS Obama & Clinton get), the FBI may have no criminal case

The Biden DOJ maintains it had to redact two-thirds of the paragraphs in the signed portion of the affidavit (sans exhibit and attachments) to avoid "harm" to “investigative sources and methods." But how much of blacking out the document was really to avoid harming sources and methods and how much was to avoid harming the reputations of the FBI, DOJ, and the magistrate judge who approved the unprecedented and outrageously heavy-handed raid on a former president’s home?

BREAKING: In a June 8 letter, DOJ requested documents Trump had stored in a room at Mar-a-Lago "be preserved in that room until further notice" -- even though it said the room was not a "secure location."

DOJ did not ask that Trump transport the documents to NARA or to the FBI. It asked only that he KEEP them there in that insecure room, which would indicate DOJ was not concerned at that time the documents were at risk of being compromised.

Why would DOJ, in a June 8 letter, direct Trump's lawyer to keep the disputed records at Mar-a-Lago "preserved in that room until further notice" instead of turning them over to the National Archives? If the goal truly was to recover the records for the Archives, and not to set Trump up or entrap him in a criminal sting operation, why would DOJ not just remand the additional boxes to the custody of NARA?

DID BIDEN DOJ/FBI SET A TRAP FOR TRUMP?

1. In a June 8 letter, DOJ ordered Trump to keep his records indefinitely "preserved in that room" at Mar-a-Lago, even though it claimed "Mar-a-Lago does not include a secure location authorized for the storage of classified information," which might make those records potentially unsafe

2. Then on Aug 5, the FBI told the magistrate judge, as part of its evidence of alleged criminal activity by Trump, that "There is probable cause to believe that documents containing classified NDI and presidential records remain at the premises"--even though just 2 months earlier DOJ had told Trump to keep such records "preserved in that room." (Of course they remained there!)

Why did the FBI try to criminalize what DOJ ordered Trump to do?

DEVELOPING: The unsealed FBI affidavit contains several oddities:

1. No where does it flat-out say "classified information" was found in Trump's 15 boxes. On page 2, it refers only to docs "with classification markings," which raises the specter they were no longer classified

2. It states the docs "appear" to contain National Defense Information. But agents "triaged" the boxes; they would know if they contain NDI or not

3. The affiant claimed "there is probable cause to believe evidence of obstruction will be found at the premises," yet there's no "obstruction" header or section spelling out why he believes this

4. He said he doesn't believe "any spaces" w/in Mar-a-Lago are "currently" authorized for storage of classified info. So they were, but not "currently"?

and the left didn’t care when it was Hillary. Who ISNT a former president and lacks the robust defense an ex prez has— see bill Clinton’s sock drawer recordings.

It’s pretty simple: once Hillary and bill have been prosecuted for their “crimes” with classified information, then we can discuss Trump’s situation. Until then, this is obvious political warfare by our esteemed DC establishment shitheads


I’m just shocked that the left supports a 2 tier justice system— one for the politically connected, and one for the plebes who challenge their power
