Forgot to add that the propaganda machines are starting up. The real risk here is that people who are not familiar with American laws will actually believe the nonsense in this video. And it hurts us republicans in the end because this fake information is being pushed.
If talking about only a few documents, one could say it was a clerical error. Looking at the inventory list on the warrant, there are way too many documents for it to be a clerical error.
Trump did not follow the correct process to declassify those documents. He had no business taking classified documents home with him.
Yep.........the quantity of oopsies will factor into determining intent.
He removed documents constantly to take home and declassified them. The fact that clerical work was mismanaged is an error in the process.
He's not allowed to remove nuclear documents from SCIFs to take home without them being declassified first. In this case, he had illegally moved classified documents to his home. There could have been a clerical error, but that's not the issue. The issue is that he removed classified documents he wasn't allowed to.
"If he says something is declassified, that's it, it is declassified," Patel explained. "He declassified a whole set of documents that should have come out... That's on the National Archives to sort that material out... Even if it was classified, they'll never meet the burden of intent because the president didn't pack it up and take it out himself, the G.S.A. has said they did it and they made a mistake."
The documents are only accessible in a SCIF. There are temporary SCIFs.
There was a SCIF located at MAL, first referenced in the 2017 "Football Incident" and again in referenced around the time of the Capitol Riots. Operationally, the situation appears similar to JFK's Peanut Island bunker. Hillary Clinton has a SCIF at her home while SoS.
Is there a formal process to decommission a SCIF? How are documents to be transported from one SCIF to another?
