REPORT: Trump Is Under Investigation for Violating the ESPIONAGE ACT!!!
Lock him up!!! And throw away the key!!!
Donald Trump is under investigation for obstruction of justice and violating the Espionage Act, according to a search warrant obtained by multiple news outlets showing the FBI retrieved 11 sets of classified documents from Mar-a-Lago.
Meanwhile the former president insisted Friday that everything was 'declassified' and agents 'didn't need to seize anything.'
Some of the documents were marked 'top secret' and are meant to be kept in specialized government facilities, the Wall Street Journal reported after seeing a copy of the search inventory.
What disgusts me is I was in the military and handled classified documents. Myself and those I worked with took that very seriously. It’s not just Trump but all politicians privy to classified info mishandle it constantly. Pisses me off!
@Bill1372 So what classified documents do you think Trump mishandled as president? Honest question. As POTUS he could classify or declassify almost anything he wanted.
As POTUS he could classify or declassify almost anything he wanted.
If he wanted to declassify something, he still must follow a process and the docs get stamped as such. In other words, simply saying it's declassified doesn't make it so.
And he's not even entitled to use the White House bathroom, let alone declassify something, once he leaves office. Nor can he take the docs with him, classified or not.
@beckyromero And any ongoing access to classified info would presumably be controlled (ultimately) by whoever the REAL then-current PotUS would be (Biden, Warren, Sanders, Whitmer, ...).
