[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latest Trump defense (as of Fri, 8/12, 9:45pm)

"He had a standing order that documents removed from the Oval Office and taken into the residence were deemed to be declassified. The power to classify and declassify documents rests solely with the President of the United States. The idea that some paper-pushing bureaucrat, with classification authority delegated by the President, needs to approve of declassification is absurd."

At the bottom of the politifact statement rating 'mostly true' re: Presidential powers/declassification:

In this case, it [b]appears[/b] Trump didn’t actually use his declassification power before talking to the Russian officials, and [b]just because Trump’s actions were legal doesn’t necessarily mean they were wise.[/b] These caveats add nuance to analyses of what Trump did.

Appears is one of those words that fall into the speculation bucket. And you can't jail/execute someone because you think it wasn't wise. Then there's the little problem DOJ will have with the Bidens.[/quote]
