Too Busy

Being Secretary of State and having a private email server is not a crime.

Fun trivia: her successor, John Kerry was the first Sec of State to have an official Sec of State email account setup.

Another Fun Trivia: Colin Powell ran his Sec of State through his personal Gmail Account.

Another Another Fun Trivia: The Bush II White house didn't use their .gov email accounts and ran everyone through a private email server.

So, discard this idea that her having an email server was unusual or even criminal.

You want some supporting facts: https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/statement-by-fbi-director-james-b-comey-on-the-investigation-of-secretary-hillary-clinton2019s-use-of-a-personal-e-mail-system

There's the statement by the FBI. Notice a few things. They don't say running email through a private server is illegal. They say specifically that they did not find evidence that emails were deleted to hide criminal activity.

So. Again. Pence, Biden, and Hillary Clinton did not "commit the same crime as Trump."

Trumps Lawyers did try to return documents. I agree. They did. Jack Smith, the prosecutor, also agrees with you. You can tell because Trump hasn't been indicted for any of the documents he returned to NARA.

Do you remember that statement Trump made through his lawyers saying they'd searched every room at Mara Lago and that's all they found?

Turns out that was a lie.

We know from Trump's own internal video camera system that Walt was moving boxes around from room to room to keep certain ones away from the lawyers.

He lied about having the documents. He actively worked to hide them from his own lawyers. There are recordings of him showing some of those national security documents to people who are not authorized to see them.

What Trump did is on a radically different scale than Biden, Pence, or Hillary Clinton.

The Requirements that electronic Documents be preserved, and added to the National Archives, is somewhat new. But it was in effect, by the time the Ms. Clinton destroyed thousands of emails, which were improperly handled, and at an increased risk of being hacked, while they were on her private server. If Colin Powell or John Kerry were violating laws in the same fashion - they should be punished, as as Ms
Clinton should have been. What you you have been saying if Rex Tillerson had done the same thing? I doubt you'd be tying yourself into knots to excuse the behavior.

Please produce someone who has hasn't been proven to be a LIAR, and part of Ms. Clinton's Intelligent Community "Enterprise". James Comey has been shown to be a disgrace - lying to the American people, all throughout the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, as proven by the Durham Report - itself a 'limited hangout', and a damage control operation.

Oh, I forgot to add about the declassification power.

Yes. A sitting President does have that power. There's a whole process that involves consulting all the agencies the documents connect to.

That way they can all mark it as declassified when necessary or provide feedback on what needs to be redacted, removed, or if it should be declassified at all.

No president has magic brain powers to declassify documents with a thought. That's not a thing.

But if those records were declassified, why do Trump's current lawyers have to get a security clearance to view those documents?

It's because they're not declassified.

But let's pretend that they were, the documents were not but let's pretend.

They're still documents that belong to the federal government under the control of NARA. Not personal records that Trump can keep in a shed by the pool.

There may be a standard process - but that's irrelevant. The Agencies serve the President, at his pleasure - not the other way around.

In fact the President does have ultimate declassification authority. If he says it's declassified, it's declassified. It's as simple as that. You appear to lack the capacity to distinguish between LAW, and rulemaking. Congress also has a de facto declassification authority. All that is required is to have something included in the Congressional Record. Just ask Senator Mike Gravel - who declassified the Pentagon Papers, in just that fashion, in a nearly empty chamber - because there was no objection. https://www.democracynow.org/2014/12/16/former_senator_mike_gravel_on_putting

The Government is refusing to recognize Trump's declassification authority, currently. That's why his lawyers need to jump through unnecessary hoops - to avoid being targeted for political reasons, themselves.

Yes. A sitting President does have the authority to declassify documents.

Literally, no one is arguing that.

But that sitting President still has to tell people, "Hey, I'm declassifying this."

Because they need to know. Because they need to be able to keep track of what is available for the public to know (like for a FOIA request) and what needs to be held back.

President's don't have magic brain powers to declassify stuff without going through the process.

Guess what? He didn't tell anyone about him using his magic brain powers to declassify documents as he was taking them out of the White House.

Which, as a separate thing, he wasn't supposed to have in his home at all. Because those are Presidential Records.

Things that need to be under the control of NARA, declassified or not.

Have you heard the leaked recording yet? The one where he talks about the papers he has with him in the moment, how they were prepared by the Military and that they were secret? How he doesn't have the power to declassify them anymore because he's not the President.

If you need that link, I can get it for you.

WERE secret. Except he had the power to declassify them. And no. He doesn't NEED to tell someone. They're declassified upon his intention. He probably SHOULD tell people. But that's not what decides what's declassified.

I saw CNN pushing that story today (literally the first time I've intentionally gone to CNN looking for real 'nooze' in more than a decade, because - OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD. It certainly wasn't because I was looking for their highly politicized, Disinformationalist takes on anything. I heard someone suggest that China might have shot down an F-16 or two in the South CHINA Sea...so I went to the two most hawkish networks I could think of - Fox and CNN - when I didn't see anything at more reliable and truthful sources of news, like RT and some Telegram channels.). I doubt it's going to affect his lawyers' strategy...but who knows?

More interesting to me - is what we're now learning about what those plans were really about... I mean, as huge a Zionist Sell-out as Trump is/was/always has been... EVEN HE realized that the NeoCon Spooks in the Pentagon, CIA and State Department, were looking to start an absolutely INSANE war against Iran... It reminds one of the story told by (warcriminal) General Wesley Clark...have you heard it? It's about the PNAC (now CNAS) plans for X number of wars in Y number of years... Boy look at those evil Cheney/W. Regime guys...It almost makes you forget that Victoria Nuland, and her Husband are running our insane Foreign Policies - regardless of which party is in charge... It's a good thing that "Deep State" talk is just a Conspiracy Theory...hunh? (Somebody better tell Bill Moyers that, before he croaks).

Look at what Trump was holding onto, and why... I mean, he's hardly the kind of hero that Daniel Ellsberg was, and that Julian Assange still IS (at least until the Biden gang succeed in murdering him)... But even if what you say was correct... I'd vote to acquit. I'll bet that the Biden gang are sorry that they chose to try him in Florida, now - instead of the Spook-State's INFAMOUS "Rocket Docket" back in DC. I wonder if Trump's team will call John Kiriakou as a witness... I can't wait to find out... Oh...but I guess we WILL - because the Biden Regime wants to delay the Trial, until closer to Election Season...for totally apolitical reasons (or so they claim...and if you can't trust a guy who graduated at the top of his class, with two degrees, and went jail with Mandela...then who CAN you trust, really???).

1) He does need to tell others that documents have been declassified. Because partof the process is that there is a discussion with the various agencies about the declassification because it may endanger human assets working for the US aboard.

No president has magic brain powers to declassify something just by thinking about it.

There's a process that has to be followed.

You can tell they're still classified because his legal team has to get background checks for appropriate clearance to see them.

Have you heard the tape that the Trump team leaked to the press yet? The one where he talks about having a secret document there in the room, and how he can't declassify it now because he's no longer President.

2) everything after that is a bunch of QAnonsense.

1) You keep saying that...but the repetition doesn't make it true. The President can send men off to their deaths. Dick Cheney outted a NOC Agent - without even the powers of the Presidency. His Cousin (Barack Obama) could have have prosecuted him, but didn't. Instead, Scotter Libby took one for the NeoCon Team.

2) So - a) none of that had anything to do with the PSYOP and LARP known as Qanon... And b) that's the kind of hand waving argument, that shows why censorship is your only fallback position - once reality intrudes into your little bubble.

Likewise, please continue with your DNCIA fan biy routine.

I don’t know what any of that means.

The "Democrat National Committee of Iowa", obviously. "Biy" is trickier. Google says, Northern Irish for "boy", or Build It Yourself, elected judges and administrators in Kazakhstan, Believe In Yourself, or Behaviorally Infected Youth.

🥴oh, right. Obviously.😂

It's a Portmanteau of the DNC and the CIA - which have been essentially merged, going back as far as LBJ, with the probable exception of Carter, who was with Naval Intelligence, and therefore place Adm. Stansfield Turner in charge of the CIA.

As for "fan biy" - that was a typo. It should have read "fan boy". Is that clearer?

Oh, right. They just placed a big order for black helicopters.
