[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Donnie is claiming he declassified everything he took (which I don't believe, but anyway...).

Can he even do that for some of the stuff he is alleged to have?  Could he just declassify the names of CIA informants or of people under FISA wire tap, take the materials with him when he left off, and then hand it over to, say, the Saudis or Russians? [/quote]

Declassification is a red herring. It’s a ruse employed by people who have reason to believe that Trump betrayed his nation by providing too secret information to other countries. There is no logical justification for the unitary “magic wand” declassification. Had a program been declassified steps would have been taken by stakeholders to protect assets and sources/methods from disclosure. The president can’t simply declassify on an ongoing operation or program without regard to its repercussions. The only reason Trump claims to have used his unbridled declassification authority is so that he (or one of his operatives like Patel or Cohen Watnick) could share information without consultation with the IC. It’s a blatant attempt to circumvent the Espionage Act by people who didn’t fundamentally understand the law, or just didn’t care. [/quote]
