Rep Swalwell: SPOILER ALERT: Trump didn't declassify any of it.

SPOILER ALERT: Trump didn’t declassify any of it. He’s a thief and took national secrets for his own personal benefit.

Trump team alerts Special Master they don’t wanna submit info about “declassification” of Mar-a-Lago records, “Special Master process will have forced the Plaintiff to fully and specifically disclose a defense to the merits of any subsequent indictment”

1. This is refreshing to hear...

Meaning he spoke clear and honestly...no giving tRumpers any wiggle room....it is obvious he is a treasonous bastard! The facts and simple truth rules!

2. That's obvious - they are much more valuable as classified docs....

The gov't would attempt to mitigate risks associated with the declassification of docs. That eans disclosure of the information would be far less valuable to a buyer.

He kept them classified because he knew they would bring him more money.

7. that's what I was thinking

3. You know what?

I'm actually surprised Orange Jesus DID NOT declassify every document he took home! (he COULD have) If he's EVER in office again he will be so fucking dangerous to us ALL! He has to be STOPPED from EVER holding office again. He's gonna be smarter dangerous, no doubt in my mind!!

4. Not going to be smarter, just more dangerous.

8. No he couldn't. He could declassify them and read them in the white house but he couldn't take them

And some of those documents couldn't leave the archives...so they were likely stolen by one of his henchmen.

9. Well under NORMAL rules i agree. BUT

He gets in there again, all i can say is lookout! Somebody had to have helped him get these documents out of the Archives. Hope that's being investigated as well. I worry all normality will be destroyed with HIM and all his House and Senate traitors

12. I believe that person is Stephen Miller.

Miller is cunning and evil. I have no doubt his slimy little fingerprints are all over this.

13. cough * Jared * cough

15. Stealing those documents would still be sedition

Declassifying them would not change what the documents were.

5. "But, yer honor, I waived my hand over them and said

I hereby un-classify you by the power invested in me by MAGA and this bowl of Lucky Charms. they're magically delicious."

6. Or a wand...

10. Put that one in the "No shit, Sherlock" file.

But, thank you, Rep. Swalwell for pointing it out to those who have not been paying attention. Which is quite a few people, sadly.

11. I'm so shocked

14. While classified records are secret, I would think declassification paperwork is not.

I could be wrong, but that should be part of public Presidential records, I suspect?
