[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps the administration could do us all a favor and declassify some of the documents at issue if it can be done safely, so we can see just how bad it was.  People need to know.  Right now it’s too abstract for the average person who has no experience with national security to understand and accept. I imagine the intelligence agencies have been working overtime to manage the fallout.[/quote]

I would rather not threaten national security by exposing information about our military plans, capabilities and intelligence gathering sources and methods just to satisfy people's curiosity.[/quote]

Of course not, but maybe to save the republic? A second Trump term would be the end as far as I’m concerned.[/quote]

You really think all the nutjobs on here claiming that Smith made up the tape of Trump admitting he didn't declassify the docs, that Trump had a right to take classified docs under the PRA, that Clinton did the same thing, etc. are suddenly going to be convinced if the feds just declassify these docs and show how bad they are?  Please.  They will just claim Smith is lying, planted them, or whatever.  They are loony toons.  [/quote]

I think educating the American public about the good reasons we have laws protecting classified information seems necessary at this point in time.  There seems to be a real lack of understanding among even normal non-nut-jobs.[/quote]

The polls indicate the american people by and large get it.  But releasing the docs would just give the RWNJs another talking point- if these are so sensitive, why did you just release them to the world?[/quote]

Well, the were secret, until he stole them. You are raising a good point—but I don’t know how to educate people without giving examples of the damage this caused.  Which I’m sure it did.  For all we know, people have died.[/quote]

The docs are described in the indictment.  It's not really all that hard to understand why docs "concerning military contingency planning of the United States" or "concerning nuclear weaponry of the United States" would be important to keep secret.[/quote]

Actually it is.  Most voters don’t read books, you know?   The need a picture.[/quote]
