He didn't do any work when he was at work! Stumble downstairs at 1100 and have "executive time", which was tv watching.

The very suggestion that he took classified documents home to "study" them is so ridiculously laughable that it boggles the mind. If that's the best they can come up with, they are in very deep shit.

BREAKING: Trump describes process of how he declassified documents found at Mar-a-Lago
justthenews.com ^ | 8/12/2022 | john solomon
Posted on 8/12/2022, 10:09:43 PM by bitt

Former president's office says there was standing order that classified memos automatically declassified if moved to residence.

Donald Trump's office told Just the News on Friday that the classified materials the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate were declassified under a "standing order" while he was president that allowed him to take sensitive materials to the White House residence at night to keep working.

The official statement is likely to become the focus of the president's legal defense as the FBI and Biden Justice Department investigate whether he stole records covered under the Presidential Records Act or mishandled classified materials under the Espionage Act, allegations included in a search warrant released by a federal court in Florida on Friday.

The president's defense is rooted in the legal principal that the president and vice president are the ultimate declassifying authority of the U.S. government and through executive orders most recently issued in 2003 by George W. Bush and Barack Obama in 2009 that specifically exempt the president and vice president from having to follow the stringent declassification procedures every other federal agency and official must follow.

Trump has maintained for weeks that any documents still containing classified markings in his possession after he left office were previously declassified. On Friday night, the statement issued to Just the News explained exactly how that declassification occurred in his mind.

There is a process that’s followed, I believe, so it should be easy enough to prove.

nope

not for the President or VP. no process is needed

they can just declare them declassified and thats it

To: CrazyCatChick
The president doesn’t have to write up anything. He can wave his hands over the documents and say, ‘Presto! Declassified.’ Why is that so hard to grasp? The president is the ultimate consumer of all the classified information, and as the head of the executive answers to no one else within the executive. This is not rocket science. But points out why it is so important to select the president based on serious criteria, and not how he combs his hair or if he tweets mean things.

No need for that. If the president declares something declassified, it is declassified.

And former Presidents retain their clearance status until the day they die so having classified docs from their own terms in office is in no way illegal.
