  1.  @Mawyou  LOL The crimes listed are 18 U.S.C. section 793, which deals with defense information; 18 U.S.C. section 1519, which deals with destroying federal documents; and 18 U.S.C. section 2071, which deals with concealing, removing, or damaging federal documents. Those are all concerning handling and storage of documents. So you're repeating some lame CNN/MSNBC talking point. This is goofy. When Obama left he took 30 million documents to a Chicago warehouse. They Archives requested that they all be digitized over the next few years. That didn't happen. So lock him up.

  2. This whole thing is so hysterical and stupid. When Trump was leaving he declassified troves of documents. They think he was trying to cover up something naughty, by being more transparent than past administrations? The Democrats suffer from micro-brain.

  3.  @rodlewis9817  Throwing mud at a wall hoping that something sticks. --is NOT how a legitimate case is made. They normally to make search warrants for "Any documents 20/1/2017 to 20/1/2021". None of this will lead to a real prosecution. Everybody knows this is just a political hit job.

  4.  @Mawyou  And they're not going to find anything evidence of "espionage", because that's just made up BS -- just like "nuclear documents". You have no evidence of any of that. You just repeat whatever hysterics comes from the deranged people on MSNBC.

  5.  @PaulPaul-vj2vx  The GSO took Trump's documents to Mar-a-Lago. Are you going to prosecute the GSO now?

  6.  @PaulPaul-vj2vx  Your comment actually explains how this controversy is fake, and the Democrats are vile unprincipled hacks. The NARA prevents the release of documents ate the behest of Obama. After 7 years, the public has no access to Obama's records.

  7.  @PaulPaul-vj2vx  It's not on me to prove anything. The people on your side have to back up their accusations with evidence. Furthermore, the Democrats have no credibility, Russiagate was a hoax, the Flynn prosecution based on lies, FISA warrants against Trump employees based on lies and doctored emails. And the prod-Dem media is full of misinformation. Eg. it's constitutional law that the president has ultimate authority over classification. It was not illegal for Trump to declassify documents and put them in storage.

  8.  @PaulPaul-vj2vx  The more I read about constitutional law and practices for ex-presidents and documents, the more it's clear that Garland is a fool. If he indicts over a presidential records dispute he will wear a huge clown hat for the rest of his life. For example, S.C. 988 case, Department of the Navy v. Egan : "The President, after all, is the 'Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States.' U.S. Const., Art. II, § 2. His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security...flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President, and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant." He wanted to stir up the low information Dem base with misinformation. That will work on CNN, but not in court.

  9.  @PaulPaul-vj2vx  Katherine Herridge has even shown a picture of the official presidential memo Trump signed declassifying the documents. Garland is actually the one in trouble. He painted himself into a corner with this.

  10.  @PaulPaul-vj2vx  "Declassified" doesn't mean available to the public. Obama has 30 million documents in storage than isn't available to the public. According to Kash Patel this raid was for the DOJ/FBI to retrieve the Crossfire hurricane documents which were all declassified. Because they don't want the public to see them for obvious reasons.

  11.  @PaulPaul-vj2vx  The rhetoric about "national security", "espionage", "nuclear secrets in the wrong hands" is classic authoritarian bureaucratic state rhetoric. What's changed is that it's now the Democrats who are using that BS to defend a secretive police state.

  12. You can't compare the Trump situation to Clinton, because a president can declassify anything, for any reason. The Supreme Court has ruled that he can declassify something just by telling it to someone. They could never get a charge to stick.

  13.  @amarreder6241  What's scary about this, is the hysterics coming from Democrats. No case, such as Clinton's server, will stick. Trump declared all these documents declassified before he put them in storage. Every president since Truman has done this.
