GOP lawmaker in defense of Trump says the 'good thing about the boxes' of classified documents he kept at Mar-a-Lago is that 'they're not connected to the Internet'A Republican lawmaker defended former President Donald Trump's holding of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio invoked Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee while discussing the Justice Department's investigation on CNN.
"It is not unprecedented at all, and frankly, the good thing about the boxes is they're not connected to the internet," Davidson said. "There was no outrage when Hillary Clinton had thousands of classified documents on her own server with weak security with her own e-mail using classified emails, so that's a clear violation of the protocols."
The FBI searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence earlier this month and found 26 boxes of official government documents and 11 sets of classified records, including some that were marked top-secret.

RIIIIIIIIGHT.
Also there absolutely were not '1000s' of classified documents, there were a handful of email attachments sent by others who shouldn't have sent them to her personal account in the first place. Some were also marked 'classified' after the time she got them.
These RWNJ's are so fucking full of shit ALL THE TIME, and I'm so fucking sick of it
Why is guy given airtime to babble his lies on CNN, BTW?
Oh yeah, CNN needs more 'balance', that was a problem they had that they're solving now with this bullshit.

Of course, its unprecedented and its worse. This has an investigation of espionage and belief that our government officials were jeopardized. He could he both declassify everything (not all of which he had the authority to unilaterally do so) and not know everything he declassified and whats in those boxes when his own handwriting was on them?
