It's amazing that the DOJ can get aways with this. You can get disbarred for what Garrland did. There are legal ethics and procedures for avoiding conflict of interest. Prosecutors are normally required to recuse themselves when they have a personal stake, eg when the target is a political opponent of their boss.

@leslieplayfair9836 Except that didn't happen. The president can declassify anything, for any reason.

@leslieplayfair9836 We don't even know that happened. We just know he declassified some documents. This appears to be over documents that the FBI/DOJ doesn't want published. He wants to publish the Crossfire Hurricane documents, so he submitted them to the DOJ to redact names (thought the applicable law doesn't apply to the WH. The DOJ just wanted to put them in limbo.) Ask yourself this. How many time in history has the one who wants documents published turned out to be the bad guy and the people (using the FBI) to prevent it turned out to be the good guys?

@Boaz833 False comparison. The President has ultimate executive authority on the classification of documents. The Secretary of State does not.

@Boaz833 The nukes are set up so that anyone can just call a missile silo, give an ID number and a target.

@Boaz833 If someone tried to call the Nat. Military Command center. They would call the president. (They always know where he is) and they'd know that guy trying to give the order is not him. You must also know that as Com. in Chief the president has the authority to launch a nuclear strike, and no subordinate has the authority to stop him. So why would he give the codes to someone else?

@ericjangula9310 LOL "Deflecting" from the BS CNN narratives? That's not what this is about. You've had 7 years to figure that out.

@ericjangula9310 There's no comparison. Clinton actually broke laws, mishandling classified documents, destruction of evidence, violation of FOIA. The same rules don't apply to the president. The president has article 2 constitutional power over classification. The president can declassify just by saying so.

@ericjangula9310 He was president when he took the documents. (Hello) "How many times has he changed his story? " It's the plaintiff's job to make an accusation that's consistent; not the accused. And why would he have a consistent defense when the DOJ wont even make their case. It's just some BS about having "classified documents", which is non-sense. Because he had the authority to declassify anything before Jan 21, 2021.
