Just HAVING those documents in his home was a violation of law. Period. Criminality, regardless of intent. DONE. By the way, he didn't have the power to arbitrarily declassify those documents. Fact. There is a process/procedure involved, and he didin't follow it. The President is NOT a King. He doesn't rule by decree. He has to follow the rules, too. He didn't. Trump is guilty of seditious conspiracy, and a number of criminal violations regarding these classified documents. Maybe you don't care about the rule of law, but I do. Trump is NOT above the law. If he were a private citizen he would have been arrested long ago. He is a traitor to both the country and democracy itself, and by having some of these documents in a low security place like his home put people at risk. That is completely unacceptable. Imagine if the parties were reversed. If Trump were a Democrat you'd be calling for him to be strung up. You're a f****** hypocrite. Most Republicans are now. Trump has done things that if he were a Democrat that these Republicans would be shocked, appalled, and outraged by. They would want him locked up if he were a Democrat. Some of them would want him shot. But because he's on THEIR team, and because they've been drinking the f****** Kool-Aid they give him a pass for anything he does. That is some serious bull$#!+. When you put party before country, and party before Democracy you are a BAD person. Despicable. Oh, and, by the way, there is no such thing as, "The Deep State." That is made up paranoid bull$#!+ that Republicans in the media came up with to explain away any wrongdoing by their people. "It wasn't our guy, it was the, "Deep State," framing him." bull$#!+. Erik, I think what it may come down to is the legality of whether or not he can declassify them without them being stamped. Is there a loophole for that or not. John, trump's life is a loop hole and smoke and mirrors. He has gotten away with more than probably any human who has ever lived. You talk about Jesus and answering to him. If trump slides again, it will prove there is no God. |

I hear ya about Trump getting away with a lot my friend, but I don't believe it will prove that there's no Jesus if he does get away with anything. Nobody can fool Jesus, so if anybody tries to fool, it won't get past Jesus. He knows you're heart and NOBODY can fool him. |

I was watching CNN today and they had a legal expert on who knows the procedure to declassify documents. It isn't just getting it stamped. There is a multi-step procedure involved, and all Trump did was say, "These are now declassified." The President does not have the authority to arbitrarily declassify documents by decree. |

Erik, I think what it may come down to is the legality of whether or not he can declassify them without them being stamped. Is there a loophole for that or not. Doesn't matter. From the NYT: "But in any case, such a claim would not settle the matter. For one thing, two of the laws that a search warrant executed at Mar-a-Lago this week referred to — Sections 1519 and 2071 of Title 18 of the United States Code — make the taking or concealment of government records a crime regardless of whether they had anything to do with national security. For another, laws against taking or hoarding material with restricted national-security information, which generally carry heavier penalties than theft of ordinary documents, do not always line up with whether the files are technically classified. That is because some criminal laws enacted by Congress to protect certain national-security information operate separately from the executive branch’s system of classifying documents — created by presidents using executive orders — as “confidential,” “secret” or “top secret.” In particular, a third law the warrant references was Section 793, which carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison per offense. Better known as the Espionage Act, it was enacted by Congress during World War I, decades before President Harry S. Truman issued an executive order creating the modern classification system for the executive branch. As a result, the Espionage Act makes no reference to whether a document has been deemed classified. Instead, it makes it a crime to retain, without authorization, documents related to the national defense that could be used to harm the United States or aid a foreign adversary." And if there were documents relating to nuclear secrets or anything in that mold, the president cannot declassify those materials on his own. |

First the defense was the FBI planted the documents. Now, it's that he somehow magically declared every piece of information seized declassified. More irony inbound: The DOJ's standing mandate is that "restricted data" such as nuclear sensitive materials is outside of the presidential powers of declassification. This was amended in 2020...under Trump's administration.

Why the **** does he need those documents once his term of office is over? The only uses for them are treasonous. |

At the same time, you would think if he got away with not having those types of incriminating documents seized in June, he would have gotten rid of them all together somehow, in case there was another warrant imposed. We'll see. |

Criminality requires intent (so reminded Comey) and with the Banana Republic optics, the Abuse of Power (using a Warrant vs a Subpoena), the unfairness (using a Magistrate that recused himself in a politically partisan case previously and the broad vs narrow nature of the warrant), the record of cooperation (See the June Subpoena and FBI visit), the timing (as the Soviet style J6 hearings are failing), the exonerating issue (being that the docs in question may actually be defacto unclassified by Trump), I think the best thing that could happen to Trump is for him to be arrested for generally the same violations that Hillary was cleared of before the 2016 election. In that case, Trump may or may not be able to win in the court of law, but if he did win, his martyr status would be huge and redemptive. And if he did get covicted, the distrust of the Democrats and the Deep State would be so complete, we wouldn't have to see the Democrats in power for a long time thereafter and we might actually might get structural change to the Federal Government by Democrat lifer we generally live with now (but I wouldn't hold my breath). Absolute power corrupts absolutely. You don't get a warrant without probable cause. A subpoena was already issued months ago, with obvious failures to comply with it. Nobody publicized this but the former president himself. Unfairness? I get that you're not capable of being objective here, but let's not make a mockery out of a serious situation. Please remind us how Trump failed to comply with the Subpoena from June. Since you say it is "obvious", is there a link to a summary article on what the FBI sought in the June visit and was somehow denied access then? The reason for the warrant is explained here: www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/alan-dershowitz-fbi-raid/2022/08/09/id/1082432/It also enables the agents to "stumble" upon items of interest (say like hoped for J6 related docs) since the scope of the warrant was broad (all docs), not narrowed to just specific classified docs. Garland was passed over and he is pissed at the world. Its probably personal with him. They will charge Trump on this but this is weak politically as the unfairness relative to Clinton's treatment in contrast. Charges on this will only be included with other charges from the J6 Show Trial follow up by Garland. Since more charges give better optics. After the mid-terms, no doubt  But as Liz Cheney is being forced to say, if getting Trump costs me my seat, so be it. The Democrats will be saying that in 2024. |

If the alleged classified documents contained top secret nuclear data and if the data is a perceived a national security threat, then it becomes curious that the warrant was issued on Friday, yet the raid was conducted on Monday. It seems reasonable to understand the facts otherwise it is speculative at best.
Now we know Obama has over 30 million documents. Classified or not why in the world does any president need to hold on to documents? Certainly not a single president needs bedtime reading.

The warrant was issued Friday, the search was conducted Monday. In between there was a thing called the weekend. Trump wasn't even in residence, he watched remotely from New York as the search took place. Unless they had imminent suspicion that Trump was going to destroy sensitive material from half the country away, it means nothing. And no, Obama doesn't have 30 million pages of anything. Stop believing every Facebook meme you see. This is about Donald Trump. It's already known he destroyed documents while in the White House. Removing top secret documents to a private residence is a violation of the PRA and failing to comply with a subpoena is also illegal. |
