So the FBI is still spying on President Trump.

January 6th will look like a girl scout meeting if they keep this BS up.

It is going to get worse. they are desperate. Trump came out and said he will eliminate agencies-jobs, power, money. And the deep state is inflamed and on the warpath.

They took out Kennedy for a lot less

Do you like that?

Or, maybe, and hear me out - Trump took documents he shouldn't have and wouldn't give them back for reasons we don't know. It sure seems like the gov't asked for them back and he never delivered them.

We've already had it reported that President Trump did not personally fill those boxes. So who did fill the boxes? Names. We want the names!

GSA. General Services Administration. They packed and delivered all the property from the WH residence and the Oval Office, and Melanias Office.

Maybe Trump is working a reverse sting operation against the deep state, which they just fell for and now the declassified docs will see the light of day in a court making it hard for the deep state to suppress them to the public.

By definition, classified docs (if that's what they are) will never "see the light of day" in court. They will either have to be declassified, or everyone in court given a TS-SCI clearance.

You missed the part about Trump having already declassifying them when he was President. The President has the authority unilaterally to declassify documents. No one has to vote or agree with POTUS.

Yes, but, the FBI is still claiming they are classified. My comment was based on that. I'm confident Trump declassified them and weren't at all classified.

The FBI doesn't get to say what is classified or not. Trump ordered them declassified. But either way, you can't keep him off the ballot.. They won't be able to get a conviction.

Even with a conviction, he can't be kept off the ballot -- the US Constitution's requirements for running for POTUS trump any further restrictions Congress might enact.

Agree, but they were able to take the docs nonetheless. Who's stopping them? They won't get a conviction, because there's nothing to charge him with. If the documents were classified, as the FBI says, then that means whoever handled, transported and stored them, is in serious violation, as they more than likely do not have the clearance to be near such material. That is a serious offense! If the documents were classified, every single agent would have been required to get the exact same clearance Trump had BEFORE the raid. And that would have taken months to complete. Suffice to say, if they are classified, all involved should be charged. If the documents, are not classified, then Trump won't or can't be charged, and this is nothing more than Stasi tactics!

Here, allow the New York Times to clear things up for you.

Baahahhaw! He litterally referenced the NY Times to "clear things up"

I hear Obama just today declassified everything from his administration,so now Hillary is in the clear isn't she?

Then surely someone can produce the order that Trump issued declassifying all the documents. Where is it?

I anvery sure we'll get there. The opposition is ignoring that for now.

You actually think there will be a document produced that was created before January 20th that says that all those documents were declassified? Or even that "this is a standing order that anything I take with me to Mar-a-Lago today is to be considered declassified"?

Yes, Once the president says a document is declassified, it is declassified. It doesn't require a government employee to do anything or approve it.

It's with that order for troops on Jan 6th I hear.

And if that's true it will be easy to prove because there's a documented process to be followed. Trump would of course know this because he followed the process for previous documents?

So what you are saying is the FBI planted these documents in Mar Lago while Trump was president, then Trump declassified them?

Surely you are more intelligent than that.

I'm just going ahead and blocking mikey. Lots of lefty bots showing up on this article.

No kidding

They just picked up where Pelosi and Schiff failed.

Not Sensitive Compartmentalized Information. The law clearly states he cannot.

The law van say anything it wants. The Constitution enumerates what is required to be President. Our founding fathers set it this way to protect people from this exact type of tactic. Under your scenario the house does not share power with the other 2 branches as it gets to make all the rules and can legislate who is eligible for office. The Constitution lays that out not a law passed by Congress.

He says he did, because he heard that presidents can do that. BUT, you have to do it properly with forms and paper trail. Sounds like there might be a little revisionism on the part of Trump. We may hear, "Nobody told me I had to do any paperwork...".

We'll see

Not true. This isn't their first rodeo

But it was Trump's.

But the documents were planted, how were they declassified?

On the other hand, maybe he really hid top secret documents in order to camouflage his crimes.

Apparently the docs were declassified by Trump so there are no classified docs. Of course there is the other minor problem for the left, the GSA packed them. He didn't take them.

Of course only trumpies believe he can just wave a wand and make them unclassified. There's a process. Did he follow it?

Explain Sandy Berger stuffing documents in his socks you fing hack

he was fined and sentenced to two years of probation plus community service

Can't wait until trump drinks his own cloudy water ......

Us Trumpies are just waiting for the evidence that he took classified documents , We believe in Innocent Until Proven Guilty .The DOJ made the accusations now let's see if they can prove it .

But the DOJ was at Mar-a-Lago months ago asking for the documents and Trump's own lawyers signed a document saying that no documents "marked classified" were at Mar-a-Lago.

It's not an issue of whether Trump packed them or not, they were at his home and he had been specifically asked to hand them over many times. And his lawyers lied about them being there.

Can you imagine being caught with a stash of materials that are important to the security of America in your house? How do you think your response of, "hey, I didn't pack those boxes, I don't know how those documents that I was arguing a few months ago belonged to me and not the people of the United States got there. Yes, I know you came by months ago looking for more documents after I was forced to admit that I had boxes of them previously, but I swore I had handed them all over. The fact that you just found 14 more boxes of them, well it's not my fault."

Yeah, that would go over great.

If the document has been declassified, then it's no longer classified, which is the reason the lawyers answered in the manner they answered.

That’s a bunch of crap your spewing. You have no idea what your talking about. We don’t know what they were really looking for and we really don’t know what they found. In the coming weeks we will all know more. We needs to see the affidavit to know what they went in there to find. Trump wouldn't be the first president to have classified material in his possession after leaving the White House. This happens all the time.

Have you forgotten Hillary Clinton. Did you forget she had a home brew server that had over 100 top secret emails on them. Did you forget she deleted over 30 thousands emails. Did you forget her lawyers smashed their phones with hammers. Did you forget IT experts said it was likely hacked by at least 4 foreign governments. Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.

Do you remember at the time you were saying it’s no big deal, nothing to see here. You may have forgotten but millions of Americans like myself haven’t forgotten. We expect Trump to get the same treatment that Hillary got. Anything else exposes the deep state and shows us what’s really going on.

The same treatment that Hillary got? Ok, let Trump testify under oath on live televison for 5 hours. Then see where we go from there.

You've got extreme TDS.
We should impose a vaccine mandate on you to be cured.
In the meantime, continue to wear a mask so we can easily identify you.

Or 5,000 emails

Regarding "Can you imagine being caught with a stash of materials that are important to the security of America in your house?", give us a break. Obama has 30 million documents and every President of the United States has the right to his documents and to classify or declassify as he see fit. Very sad you would support this kind of tyranny of ANY American citizen, let alone a President of the United States. To dislike a President is one thing, but to route for the destruction of your country and the Constitutional rights of its people , if in fact you are an American, is pathetic and truly stupid.
