And we know that there is a recording where he shows a classified document that is not related to Crossfire Hurricane, to members of his staff and a writer of a book on Trump, and he states that he didn't declassify it.


No. You know the DOJ is making this claim.

Will the DOJ produce the recording for the defense?

And yes, the way the DOJ lays out the indictment, if all true Trump is screwed.

Do you believe all of the indictment is true or do you believe the DOJ possibly embellished it to their side?

Except… Trumps own words stated that it was still classified.

So in that Presidential Document he says "I hereby declassify the remaining materials in the binder..."

That was dated January 19.

How stupid is Trump...and by extension Trumptards?

He...and they...are so fricking stupid that they think he still has the authority to declassify documents when he's been a private citizen for almost two weeks.

That's the level of stupidity we're dealing with when it comes to these people.

Imo I believe you have to give the benefit of the doubt to any President and former President when it comes to whether or not material is classified. The law clearly gives the President the authority to declassify anything for any reason, however he chooses to do it. You can’t make the argument he didn’t declassify it when classification is completely within his discretion. The problem with this indictment is that it’s trying to create a standard of presidential declassification where none legally exists. Like the standard of presumption of innocent until proven guilty, you have to have the presumption that any document in possession of a President or former president is declassified when in his possession unless you can prove that he broke into the archive and stole it after his presidency or was part of a conspiracy to unlawfully obtain the document

Biden could do that with National Security documents, and once they are requested back, Trump is required to return them in a timely manner.

Not defending, simply explaining how a process could go.

You really believe Trump moved the boxes form DC to MAL?

It was the federal Archivists (or whatever the agency's name).

Declassification may not even matter if the statutes they're using don't require it (e.g. if they just reference "national security" information without respect to classification).


You know this indictment is politically motivated and you’re reaching for any reason to justify it. For shame.

Is there any evidence that contradicts what’s allegedly on the recording? Has trump denied the recording

No, he cannot declassify on a whim. It's amazing that some of you actually believe every single word that comes from this conman's mouth.


This is the second time you have made an incorrect legal conclusion. Where did you go to law school?

Where are the "war plans and maps"? How do we know the "war plans and maps" are not associated with Crossfire Hurricane? Shouldn't the DOJ be presenting this to the defense as evidence?


Well, that would be a novel defense to claim that an Iran War plan drawn up for the joint chiefs after the end of Crossfire Hurricane somehow is about Crossfire Hurricane, but like I said, Trump will get a chance to tell his side of it.

He is being charged under the espionage laws not just presidential records.

Basket deplorables = Stupidity————————————————
You know how we know it was all declassified ? Because Trump had it and can declassify it on any way he wants .
You know how we know that ?
Because Bill Clinton was found to have had classified material in his sock drawer … the judge in that case ruled that the president was the declassifier in chief and could do so in any manner he so desired . No one has ever disputed this ruling therefore it is PRECEDENT .
See how that works. Good for the goose … also good for the gander
