They both belong in jail...

They violated the law, they should be held accountable like anyone else. No special treatment.
Trump should be prosecuted, but Clinton deserves special treatment.

Leave them both alone; there should be no government secrets.

I have a security clearance for my job. It is necessary every single day. Several hours of each day are spent in a room where the presence of my phone would be the military equivalent of a felony.

Classified information and documents are very heavily regulated and everyone with a security clearance is thoroughly trained on those regulations.

Both Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump violated our laws and, if not for their wealth and political status, would be in jail. I say lock 'em up.

I am just scratching my head here....wondering about your lack of knowledge.

You do know that if a President takes papers up to the residence to work at night, he can declassify them? You do know that Obama and Trump and even Bush had standard declassification orders in place, right? IF papers were in the residence, at the time the President(s) left the white house, they were not packed personally by any of the Presidents.

Declassification is among the many powers of the Presidency.

Hillary Clinton was never President.

@4meAndyou 🤦‍♀️

The documents in question were not in the Residence, they were at a private residence in Florida. Not the same situation.

Declassifying documents is a process. In order to have those documents in Florida, they would need to have been declassified through that process. That process leaves a paper trail. No blanket declassification exists or has ever existed that would allow documents to be brought to Florida or to any private residence.

Every person who has a security clearance, myself included, has received training from the FBI on all of this.

@sarabee1995 Once again, you miss the point.

Time is part of the equation that you miss again and again. What was packed up in January 2021 was declassified. BECAUSE IT WAS PACKED UP BY PACKERS IN THE RESIDENCE. IN 2021. It was declassified THEN and is DECLASSIFIED NOW.

Trump was completely and voluntarily cooperating with the transfer of any documents requested by the archives requested up to and until the sudden warrant.

As an obvious Trump hater, you should understand that the present regime (Biden), feels that Trump is the greatest threat to his power and has instructed Merrick Garland to be much more aggressive in pursuit of ANY charge that will disqualify Trump from running again.

You also ignore the fact that the FBI shopped for this judge, because he has a history of hating Trump, and the archivist also has or had social media accounts showing TDS..

@4meAndyou Nope.

What was packed up in January 2021 was declassified.
What was in the Residence was permitted to be in the Residence by presidential order. It was not declassified. Anyone making such a statement does not understand the process of declassifying state secrets.

BECAUSE IT WAS PACKED UP BY PACKERS IN THE RESIDENCE. IN 2021. It was declassified THEN and is DECLASSIFIED NOW.
Sorry. 100% wrong.

I'm a Trump hater???? That's an interesting conclusion.

What I am is a person who believes strongly in the Constitution I'm sworn to defend and who believes strongly in the Rule of Law. I also believe that one of the greatest threats to our democracy has been for thirty years and remains out of control presidents. I'm happy to have that conversation.

But a Trump hater? Ummm, no.

@sarabee1995 Well, there is just no explaining anything to you, I guess. But I will ask you, what is a standard Presidential declassification order? And to what LEVELS of classification does it apply? You do know that there are levels of classification that can not be removed from the skiff, at all, and there are some levels that are less sensitive? There are some which age out, as well.

The ONLY person who can adequately review the documents seized in the raid at Mara Lago is the archivist. NOT YOU.

That much is true.
