You don’t get it. Why would anyone protect information if it were no longer classified? If he declassified it, why didn’t he tell anyone?
You’re literally taking the “he who smelt it dealt it” defense.
I called it. Nuh uh. I called it in my mind.
You de-railed long ago over this moron. But this is par for the course. You’re entirely fine with him walking in on your underage children changing. Hell he could jerk off in front of them and you’d defend him. Admit it.
Protect? That’s a very interesting word you’re using. I think “possess” would be the right word.
Because he doesn’t have to.
Classified information should be protected. Yes?
Yeah, he does. Otherwise, it’s still classified.
Stop fucking around. You know damn well this is his last desperate attempt to avoid accountability, and it’s a weak attempt at that.
You can’t declassify documents when you aren’t president. So show me proof he declassified them when he was president.
This is the same shit as trump saying a property he owned was worth a certain amount - based on his mood.
Again - he’d offer an excuse on why he jerked off in front of your underage children and you’d defend it.
You (and he) need to go to confession.
It depends on the information. The government over classified by nature. You’d be amazed at the inane things they decide to classify.
But it doesn’t matter if I believe it should be protected or not. We have a constitution. It allows us to pick an Executive via an election who makes that decision for us.
Lol- ok.
Stop telling me what I know. There is no accountability.
If someone lower than the president does this? Sure.
The president is different.
In don’t follow.

This fucking immigrant, who hates other immigrants pretends he knows how MY govt works. Go back to Italy/Caribbean mother fucker. We don’t need your trash here burning our country down.
I’m not an immigrant.
Yes you are, scumbag. Your family settled WAY after mine. So GTFO you piece of dirt
Sure does. But I’m pretty sure it puts Trump in hot water when after his term end he takes documents with him that are classified without telling anyone he declassified them - with his mind……
Funny. You’d be singing a different tune if this were Biden. Not that you’ll admit it.
Stop lying. You know exactly what I mean.
Yeah. You do.
Blockquote
That question, according to specialists in the law of government secrecy, is borderline incoherent.
If there is no directive memorializing a decision to declassify information and conveying that decision to the rest of the government, the action would essentially have no consequence. Departments and agencies would continue to consider that information classified and so would continue to treat it as a closely held secret, restricting access to records containing it.
“Hypothetical questions like ‘What if a president thinks to himself that something is declassified? Does that change its status?’ are so speculative that their practical meaning is negligible,” said Steven Aftergood, a secrecy specialist with the Federation of American Scientists.
He added: “It’s a logical mess. The system is not meant to be deployed in such an arbitrary fashion.”
I don’t even know why I’m trying. Your brain left you long ago.
Polluting MY country
I mean the defense at this point from QSC for Trump at this point this delusional.
It’s true of it’s my mind.
I wasn’t speeding officer. In my mind.
I wasn’t smoking meth officer….in my mind.
I didn’t tell my boss to go fuck themselves….in my mind.
This makes sense for QSC though. According to him, he’s right on EVERYTHING……in his mind.
He’s a Jedi!
No, he’s just a liar that sold his soul to the devil.
That’s the whole problem GSC.
You see, Trump mind-declassified them and took them home.
It wasn’t a problem until Biden took office and mind-reclassified them. That’s why Trump is fucked.
Don’t worry that neither of them told anyone. They don’t need to. Your words.
I’m glad someone else realizes this.
Almost 24 hours and Super Mod hasn’t erased the racist attack against me?
Wonder why.
A very accurate detailing of the facts. Bravo.
@dallascanes - proof that 51 shouldn’t be a moderator.
I thought racism and bigoted statements weren’t tolerated on this board?
Why has Trump’s attorneys never issued any words to the notion he declassified the documents at Mara Lago? Only in interviews do they assert anything like that, but it’s just TV. Again, why have the lawyers not once stated any of those documents were declassified by Trump? Also, with the charges listed in the affidavit, the classification has literally nothing to do with the investigation, so…?
In fact, the 11th circuit called the classification issue a red herring
Hell, even the GOPers are admitting publicly he has to follow the procedures to declassify a document if one exists, by law.
You do, however, have a strong penchant for authoritarianism. You really do want to live under a King. Would you like to move? I can get you flight times if your computer is stuck
maybe for he same reason he doesn’t erase Skeeter’s homophobic comments all the time, martyr
Then, Bikki would never be allowed on. You’re such a whiner
