That's actually kind of funny.Kendra wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 9:33 pmJust trying to piece together the snippets of statements Trump is making to various right wing outlets, it looks like they are going to say that Trump had a “standing order” that all documents he took to the residence as president were automatically declassified, and that …
… standing order then applied to all documents he removed to Mar-a-Lago, essentially counting that as the equivalent to the WH residence.

Statement from Trump Office: As we can all relate to, everyone ends up having to bring home their work from time to time… He had a standing order that documents removed from the Oval Office taken to the residence were deemed to be declassified..

Trump takes more pains to hide his tax returns than classified info about nuclear weapons.

Trump rolling out a defense that he often liked to bring home with him at the end of the day reams of intelligence reports and classified documents so he could read and study them at night is somewhat difficult to believe. Maybe I’m being too cynical, though.

This guy won't get invited back to Fox any time in the future, but I really copied it for the response tweet below the Fox clip.

These tweets would confirm my speculations i made further upthread, how papers ended up in the residence
But I still have difficulty to understand how WH staff would routinely "declassify" without adhering to the correct process.
Considering that impotus would use his personal phone without any oversight it is not a far stretch to assume that very sensitive information may have reached thankful recipients around the globe.

(I wonder, in passing, whether Congress might change this.)

I think right now there's lots of spaghetti getting tossed on the wall to see what sticks.Just asked a former senior administration official who would be in a position to know about such a thing and they had absolutely no idea what this report is talking about

1) False advertising is legal apparently.RVInit wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 12:20 pmOff TopicI would love to see something like a Change.org demanding that all cable companies that offer packages remove Fox from their lineup until Fox removes the "News" from their logo. That is what I truly object to. Their programming director admits they are not "primarily a news" station. They are down to somewhere in the vicinity of 1-3 hours per day of actual "news" programming - which is programming that they actually CLAIM really is news.

I don’t think it’s a mole. I think a secret service agent realized Trump’s team wasn’t being truthful and they were refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena and reported it.
I also still think Meadows is talking.

Ya know, it doesn’t have to be “how to make a bomb” book. Hell, I sent Foggy one of those a few years ago.
It could be information about Israel’s nuke capabilities. You can bet Saudi Arabia would be interested in that.

In retrospect, maybe bragging about the FBI raiding your house searching your hotel wasn't the best publicity move.

I think everyone is sleeping on the fact that before they got the warrants the DOJ was given surveillance footage of the rooms in which the documents were stored.
They got video of who looked at them THEN went in.
Chew on what that implies for a second. It tastes like treason.

The excuse that documents ended up being in the residence as “homework” is a sloppy reworking of the truth that they were taken there because tfg couldn’t be bothered to leave the residence and actually do the everyday work required of a President (and his staff were useless at their jobs).
If you can't lie to yourself, who can you lie to?

That's interesting - there really aren't any charges yet, are there? Are you expecting charges? How can charges be dropped if they are never filed?Trump’s attorney says she has advised him that if he just says he won’t run for president, all these investigations and charges will go away and be dropped.
I'm Foggy and I forget if I approved this message.
