Trump never declassified any of the documents he is being investigated for.
Says who? You? He can literally tell anyone and it would become declassified at that time
This is exactly the level of stupid we can expect when we elect a moron like Donald Trump - we’re actually debating whether a president can declassify top secret documents without telling the government it belongs to that it’s declassified.
The president is the foundational authority on what is classified, so he couldn’t technically be in violation of holding classified materials, but once he became a private citizen that no longer applies.
The document actively determining our system of classifications was an executive order by Obama in 2010, Trump never changed that. So he can disregard it all he wants while president, but once Biden is sworn in the documents in question are no longer subject to his whims.
Biden purposefully took documents to his think tank and his residence, withheld those documents until he was caught, and lied about it to the American people by stating he never did that.
We don’t even know how the documents got there nor do we have any evidence Biden was aware of them so you are just making shit up, which is not surprising since this is exactly the kind of bad faith argument I’ve come to expect from you.
And not for nothing but I find your hypocrisy amusing. One minute Biden is so senile that he doesn't even know where he is, the next he is so sharp that he couldn’t have possibly ended up with a document he wasn’t supposed to have without purposeful intent.
FBI searched it before too and just told Trump to do certain things to ensure security.
Citation please.
Where are the raids on Biden.
When the FBI has evidence to convince a federal judge that Biden is hoarding classified documents which he is refusing to turn over and lying about possessing you’ll have them.
Oh wait, actually you won’t because Biden is definitionally immune from mishandling classified materials.
Not one thing I just mentioned can be applied to Joe Biden here. If you think that is just semantics you don’t speak English.
Lol it’s literally two equal cases of “mishandling” classified documents
I just explained the reasons why Trump is both in legal jeopardy and facing severe political backlash and it has absolutely nothing to do with “mishandling” codified documents. Did you read a single word I of it? Do you have an actual response or are you just going to keep pretending you’re engaging in the conversation?
And seriously… Trump was found holding top secret nuclear documents in the basement of a gulf resort without the government’s knowledge and you don’t have a word to say about that. You don’t give a rats ass about the handling of classified documents and you know it.
You realize how rotten it is that the DoJ and Biden knew about this before the election yet didn’t tell Americans after criticizing his opponent for taking documents.
No, I don’t. Neither Biden nor Trump were on the ballot anywhere this cycle and it is not the job of the DOJ to tell the public every time a public official does something unsettling. This is an incredibly silly point.
