What about the docs from his Senate days? He had to remove some of those from a SCIF and he can't blame being old or a Staffer for those. He was much younger and thot his breath don't stink.
Even if the Statue of Limitations has run out, they can't prosecute Trump without bringing this out. IMHO
The entire thing is very simple! The PRESIDENT is able to declassify documents all by himself. He can declassify, take with him as he wishes.
VP does not have the same authority, by law he cannot tak3 any classified documents. This is the point! One is legal, the other is illegal!Â

Special Counsel Hur's finding that Joe willfully retained classified documents after becoming a private citizen was without question in blatant violation of 18 U.S. Code § 793 (f) (Gathering, Transmitting or Losing Defense Information), which reads: “Anyone entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any information and/or thing(s) related to the U.S national defense; through gross negligence, moves, permits to be moved, and/or have knowledge of the same having been illegally removed from its proper place of custody; charges for each violation before a Grand Jury for indictment. Conviction includes imprisonment for not more than ten years, fined, or both”. In 1917, Congress amended the original Espionage Act by adding the phrase, “through gross negligence”, which de facto deems mishandling classified material gross negligence regardless of reason or circumstance given for having done so. The strict precise language was designed to compel authorized custodians and handlers of classified material to use extraordinary diligence protecting it, and to leave no loopholes for violators to evade prosecution. That is why the phrase does not begin with the words “if” or “when” through gross negligence, but instead begins with “through” gross negligence. Therefore, Hur had no authority, regardless of Joe's current age and lack of mental stability, to not submit charges against him for grand jury action IAW 18 U.S. Code § 793 (f). He instead unlawfully used the same unlawful tactic Special Counsel FBI Director James Comey used to prevent Hilliary Clinton's indictment and prosecution for having used an unauthorized unsecure private email system to receive and send a total of 110 classified emails including confidential, secret, and top-secret information. Yet Trump has been indicted and awaiting trial on charges for having classified material in his possession, which is without question a clear case of double standards of justice.
The law means nothing to demonrats, and nobody does anything to stop them
They can be stopped only if citizens reelet former President Trump, give Republicans dominant congressional majority, and stop voting to keep the wicked scoundrels and hussies in office.
Good explanation. Thank you.
These instances appear to be legion, persisting, never being resolved and inviting the next bunch of corrupt politicians to do likewise, which seems to contribute to a nation's demise. Ozell, we here might wonder why you are not on the SUPREME COURT.Â
