What do you all think are the chances that a high percentage of former Presidents have walked away with copies of classified documents? Personally I think it’s likely pretty high. 🤷🏻♂️ This is utterly immaterial. The kind of defense somebody (unsuccessfully) asserts against a speeding charge. If Trump had this stuff (seems pretty clear), and if it was illegal for Trump to have this stuff (seems to be the consensus among those who do this kind of stuff), then Trump has an answer that must be given irrespective of whether Carter, Clinton, Bush, and Obama should have to answer the same question. 48 minutes ago, Irv said: AP news. "All Phony". What a mess. Hoax. Despite your apparent expertise in phoniness, you’re wrong about this one. 1 hour ago, dpberr said: Can presidents declassify matters directly? Yes, because it is ultimately their constitutional authority. Facts don't need to matter to the FBI or media, but when Trump skates for the 100th time, facts will be why he does. The better question is whether there are “matters” that a president cannot alone declassify. The next question, of course, is whether Trump had such “matters” strewn about his floor in the photo that was released today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think you’re pretty naive to think Trump is the first and only one to have done so. so we have Chef Jim who says its all good cuz probability says other former presidents have probably broken the law. no need to investigate this, pack it up! they all do it! its all good! gtfoh. This is unprecedented. You trying to claim it isn't with some vague opinion holds no water. so yeah, you don't deserve even this response it is so idiotic.

Orlando Tim Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 This picture is like a rohrschach test, it is so messy because the FBI made it look like that, Trump clearly at some point had the legal right to all of the information present, unless somehow he got it after leaving the white house. It is also not proof that the FBI is harassing him because it is what they have to do with all evidence during a raid. All it proves is what we already knew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S3 bloviating about whether or not something is material to a voter. 940 howling at the moon and letting the vulgarities fly like a truck driver at rush hour. I’ll answer the question posed, Chef. The number of presidents who left office and took confidential/top secret information with them is likely 100% of the presidents who left office. The number of high-ranking officials who handled classified and top secret intel inappropriately is likely quite high as well, up to and including maintaining documents at their private residence(s). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude. •Its standard practice for FBI agents to catalog and inventory when conducting a search warrant, including photographs. For obvious reasons, and not so obvious ones. •the only reason they "released" that photo (it was in a Federal Court filing you dimwit) was because the former President filed a bull#### motion, allowing the DOJ to provide more evidence of the criming and obstruction. If Trump doesn't file a motion destined to fail, we dont have that photo and all that it portends. There is only one side here slinging poo, and it ain't the DOJ. If you lived outside of the right-wing media echo chamber, maybe you would understand that that photo provides some new information and confirms a lot of the reporting to-date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next question, of course, is whether Trump had such “matters” strewn about his floor in the photo that was released today. The Presidential power to both classify and declassify is quite expansive. If President Biden wants to declassify every document related to the JFK assassination for example, he can do so without asking anyone for permission. He can ask for the CIA's advice on the matter, but ultimately, it's his call. There is no material way a President of the United States can "steal" or abscond with classified documents. There is no higher authority. That's why I don't think there's anything here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not bull####, son.

But I think you’re pretty naive to think Trump is the first and only one to have done so. Comey admitted that he sent classified government documents to an acquaintance at the NY Times who then published the information in the paper. He acted with clear intent to disclose and by any standard being applied in conversations here for supporting an argument for Trump's guilt, he should be serving time for exposing "secrets". Hillary had unapproved servers at her home that got hacked by Russian and Chinese operatives, and most like Mossad too and perhaps other State actors. When busted and subpoenaed she ignored legal requirements to preserve evidence and destroyed and erased files and e-mails and obstructed the investigation. She denied the FBI access to the servers. Why didn't they raid her as she was uncooperative? She should be serving time for exposing "secrets". Both got a pass for far worse given we have proof they exposed secrets. To this point we know Trump had documents but there is no proof Trump exposed anything. It's all conjecture. Unless anyone has some inside information or firsthand knowledge, which I doubt.

There are things that happen at the very top, captured in that moment in time, that no one else needs to see. That is why “they” are elected President’s with privileges that last a lifetime. Sorry, but that is just how it is. Should the DOJ/FBI go after Obama, Busch, Clinton, Carter et al? Heck, they left HRC alone after she destroyed servers and hard drives.
