Donald Trump leaves the White House with a wheelbarrow full of sensitive information and Republican/MAGA reaction is 'so what?'

Yet it's easy to imagine what would have happened if Obama had left office with as much as a Post It note stuck to the bottom of his shoe.

[b][i]FOX NEWS: OBAMA POST IT CRISES DAY 937[/i][/b]
"Tucker, this story gets more disturbing each day. We now know with certainty that the information on that Post It was:
Milk
Butter
Yogurt
This may be the most disastrous security breach in our history. And the big question is still unanswered: just what was Obama planning on doing with that information?"

[i][c=7700B2]and on a social media platform we're all familiar with...[/c][/i]

OBAMA IS A TRAITOR! OBAMA SOLD US OUT! RUSSIA NOW KNOWS WE HAVE BUTTER! LOCK HIM UP NOW! GOD BLESS AMERICA! THESE COLORS DON'T RUN! LET'S GO BRANDON! MY WHOLE VOCABULARY COMES FROM BUMPER STICKERS!

[i][c=003BB2]comment[/c][/i] there's a rumor that the Post It actually says margarine, not butter. But the libs are trying to suppress it.

[i][c=003BB2]comment[/c][/i] Sky News just reported the Post It also says 'Velveeta'
[i][c=003BB2]comment[/c][/i] oh my God if that's
true...

[i][c=003BB2]comment[/c][/i] hey guys, can we talk about Hunter Biden? It's been a while.

The facts here are just because some left leaning FBI people leaking things news media say Trump took classified documents does not make it true. The fact is the FBI is breaking the law by leaking info to the media. This is the job of the special master to look over the documents and determine what is personal and what is not. Why is everyone so afraid of a special master?

@fairgame123 It's already been proven that Trump stole classified documents, then when asked about it, lied to the FBI.
You either agree that Trump belongs in prison, or you believe he's above the law. At least have the stones to pick a side here. The whataboutisms are just pathetic.

@fairgame123 Left leaning? The director was appointed by Trump. You have a fair point that the leak broke the law, but what do you expect from people handpicked by Trump?

@BohemianBoo Proven by who, Boo Boo

BohemianBoo · M

@fairgame123 Trump basically admitted he did what he's being accused of when he said he declassified all the documents he took.
That's what's nice about Trump being so stupid. A smarter criminal would have done this without accidentally confessing over and over.

fairgame123 · 61-69, C

@BohemianBoo Key word, declassified. You do know he did have the power to that

BohemianBoo · M

@fairgame123 Nope. There's a process for that and even then, there may be some documents the president can't declassify. Trump's defense that there was a standing order is wrong.

The delay from the special master is the problem. Trump has documents he's not supposed to have, AND a large number of empty "classified" jackets.

Who knows

• who has had access to the material?
• where the missing documents are?

etc.

If Hillary had done this, WHAT WOULD *YOU* BE SAYING? I don't care WHO does this, they look like traitors.

[quote]Key word, declassified. You do know he did have the power to that[/quote]

Yes...WHEN PRESIDENT, NOT AFTER.

He can't retroactively claim declassification.

And come ON...LOOK at some of the content--at least one document about spies...WHY WOULD HE DECLASSIFY *THAT*? To help Russia, NK, etc.?

@SomeMichGuy I see you have more Russia disinformation, use all you want it's free.

SomeMichGuy · M

@fairgame123 No.

I have actual information.

I'm sorry that you have been duped by people exchanging rumors.

fairgame123 · 61-69, C

@SomeMichGuy You really think you have something? We will see soon enough when the special master does his review.

SomeMichGuy · M

@fairgame123 We have info from the Archivist of the US, quoting part of a letter from the DoJ to Trump, mentioning the over 700 pp. of classified documents found in the *January* batch.

If you believe everything Trump says, why don't you believe what he said on the record in his recorded interview with a Watergate reporter? lol

fairgame123 · 61-69, C

@SomeMichGuy I get it your guy knows more than my guy. Something for you to look at. Office of the Federal Register (OFR). Classification Authority. Happy reading. As president he has the right to classify or declassify. I am sure your guy has talked with you about all the leaks.

@BohemianBoo If he declassified them, they can't be classified Boo Boo.

BohemianBoo · M

@ron122 He can't declassify them through a standing order. There's a process, and even then, there might be some documents that he's not allowed to declassify.
