Which makes it all the more curious to me that Barr, as a strong proponent of the unitary executive, thinks Trump has the most exposure here. Completely contradictory for him. Truly baffling to me.MouthBQ98 said:
This has already been decided by a district court in case law in a case involving Bill Clinton and possession of privileged documents. The court found that the president's ability to declassify is essentially universal and not subject to the processes which are derived from the constitutional powers of the president.

When did Trump abscond with this purported documents? Oh before he left the White House?
Well, his testimony / defense just needs to be "I thunk them declassified before I packed them" and case is closed / dropped.
Sorry, but that's all that had to happen.
Oh he and his team has not raised that defense? Well, there has been no need to at this point.
Funny to watch folks fall for another Trump-focused hoax. And Trump loves being the center of attention. Sad to see some folks give it to him in the face of facts and common sense.
There it is. Espionage Act.

If it's not classified, this is nothing more than a civil matter...Whistle Pig said:
You make this claim, yet had no idea what items the subpoena demanded or the statutes under investigation. Classification status doesn't matter if it's government property, especially NDI. A judge and jury will decide if Trump, a noted liar, is telling the truth about classification.
Trump knew he wasn't supposed to have these documents, let others see them, and tried to hide them..
I agree. You're wrong.Whistle Pig said:
Wrong.
Of course, the "declassification" is an obvious lie invented only after the docs were seized and not in the 18 months of prior back and forth with NARA. A lie his lawyers refuse to make in court.

Don't lie to the feds and don't get your house raided, it is that simple. His lawyers said he returned xyz, that turned out to be a lie, so the FBI went to get it.

He also has zero clue that non-classified document issues have ZERO criminal liability...fka ftc said:Yet you seem to be delivering judgment before even being remotely familiar with the facts of the situation, the relevant laws, precedent, etc and so on.Whistle Pig said:

Why don't you just squeal / whistle just a bit less until the process plays out, since you are so incredibly, undeniably confident of the circumstances and in Trump receiving a fair, just trial both in court and as portrayed by the DNC and MSM.
Again, if you are so confident you "got him", why not show just a bit of humility and let the process play out.

What would you consider "verified new evidence"? Grand jury proceedings are secret, this is the best you'll get until if/ when charges are filed. Trump's people talk to reporters, grand jury witnesses talk to reporters.
This is the internet my dude.
