And that didn't happen. Stop it with making stuff up.

Bill Barr insists Trump did NOT declassify documents seized by the FBI


Barr is a swamp weasel. I guess he didn't see the declassification memorandum like we did here. Or maybe he thinks people actually involved in helping declassify the Crossfire Hurricane documents are lying like he does.

Did we ever determine if Trump had a SCIF at his residences? I would think so but I haven't seen it confirmed one way or the other. Were these stored in a safe place that just lost an official label or were they in his tool shed?


Trump did have SCIF for his residence until several months ago when Biden pulled Trump's security clearance unbeknownst to Trump. The pulling of Trump's security clearance then triggered the loss of the SCIF for his residence.

As to the people who just think that Trump grabbed classified documents by himself---every single one of those documents had to go through a clearance level at every division and then they go to the Mandatory Declassification Review process. The National Declassification Center which is under NARA then reviews every single piece of paper. If any document is deemed problematic the documents then go to the Interagency Security Classification's appeals process which has representatives from the agency(s) which might be impacted by the documents. After all of that declassifed or not the documents that pass muster are then given to the President.

It is very frustrating to hear the Media and Politicians regurgitate the same wrong information to the public with Trump because they are peddling complete bullshite and many people have fed into the fake narrative because they didn't do their own homework.

These documents were clearly defined as government documents. That means they fall under this statute and, as such, Trump is not entitled to have them, regardless of classification status.

I mean that took me ~4 minutes to look up, and I'm man enough to admit I could be wrong. But it looks like Trump was in violation of this law (which has no legal consequences, BTW)

Honestly, and I’m not gonna lie this time, I believe you’ve got down perhaps ~1/5 of the total relevant law and other indispensable considerations required for a satisfactorily comprehensive opinion or conclusion here.

I think I’m a little further along than you, but still not enough to hit the spot. I haven’t seen anyone here who has command of the full 5/5, fwiw. It’s all speculation, each one lacking one of more of the 5/5. Thus incomplete opinions.

I thought I remembered Trump 'Declassification', PH, but as usual expected nothing to come of it. The Deep State holds the power if low lifes like Barr won't act. Did Trump sign a Document? Make an Announcement? What is the public record of his supposed Declass?


There were two EOs (or if not tech EOs, memos) released reflecting his decision to declass CH docs of all information contain in "the binder." Meadows turned that over to DOJ ~ and they were supposed to give a copy back to Trump with the items he directed redacted. I am pretty sure they did not give him that binder back, but if any of the docs in the binder or which otherwise are encompassed in the scope of his order they are declassed.

Hell- if he changed his mind at 11:59 on 1/20/21 and told Kash- "I changed my mind, declass everything..." it would be binding (agree w/ BB reckless in that instance without proper evidentiary trail, but that is just a matter of evidence).

IOW- Trump trumps the bureaucrats and congress cannot encroach on the Chief Executive's inherent Art. II authority.

He thinks he had to approve or there was no declassification.

'If in fact he sort of stood over scores of boxes, not really knowing what was in them, and said, "I hereby declassify everything in here," that would be such an abuse,' he told Fox News.


So basically the “abuse” is that he went around the swamp and did what he had the authority to do and they didn’t think it was very nice of him.

Eh, we had a SoS take digital copies of top secret information to a server in her own home.

Doesn't seem that "unprecedented".

So if doing dumb stuff makes you dumb, and your mom is dumb, are you calling every single person who did her "dumb"? The very beginning of your apology tour should be taking out full-size ads on the 50-yard line of the Bayou Classic.

President doesn't have a security clearance . You could have looked it up instead of typing all the rest of the shite you did. I didn't read the rest of what you said.

Just saying. You shouldn't type a huge paragraph out and the beginning is clearly wrong.

Bill Barr blocked all the documents from coming out so he can suck a dick

Someone's home is not a country club

Barr defended the Department of Justice actions


What actions? Blocking the public and the accused from seeing the documents for years? Or the illegal raid?

And finally, Trump can declassify whatever the frick he wants to declassify and Bill Barr and the DOJ can suck a dick
