    Once again, CNN’s anonymous sources turn out to be 100% accurate.

    He is not being charged for the stuff he took, but then turned over voluntarily.

    He is being charged for the stuff he hid from the DOJ. Obstructing them. Refusing to honor the subpoena. The top secret stuff that he acknowledged he had not declassified, then showed to people without clearance.

    This is an absurd argument that you're trying to make. You're suggesting someone should be locked up because of documents that are classified as illegal, even though they easily had the power to make those documents legal but just never got around to it during the time they had that power.
    That could technically be construed as being against the law, but it seems like an overly literal and capricious interpretation of the law. There doesn't even seem to really be much point to that.

    Are you going to gloat on this minor achievement for the rest of your life ?
    How Petty it is to try to goad someone into betting to leave the forum if they were wrong... Are you proud of yourself?
    Is there a time when you have ever been mistaken or lack complete information or gloated before you knew what the end results were?
    Let me know when they run him up the rail, will you?

    I hope that you live to see the day when the one party rule you salivate over turns into a dictatorship that controls everything about your life.

    May me and mine, live far away from you and that.

    Ummmm…there’s also the little matter of conspiring to obstruct the retrieval of those documents…??

    You say once again as if it has been proven and you also say once again like it's a common occurrence for CNN....

    Does it taste good?

    I'm so pleased for you. I am pleased that you have gotten more of the nanny state that you have ushered in... And may you have ever more of it.

    Is there anything interesting going on in your neck of the woods ?

    Evidently not so much but anyhow signing off and good night from America....

    Enjoy the small victories wherever you may find them.

    Classified as "illegal" ? What!

    He was showing Secret documents to a journalist. He admitted that he knew he didn't have the authority to just use his mind to declassify documents but had to follow procedure, the same procedure he used for declassifying the Crossfire Hurricane secret files

    Nothing like the bullshit which goes on in the USA. Our politicians are boring mundane buggers who don't get up to the bizarre antics your lot do.

    You just told me that your politician tell ours what to do. I just named one who did something recently, and I am asking you to name which US politician told them to do it.

    Oh....you weren't just being a silly Billy were you, objectively speaking?

    Oh I meant what I said, there is a long history of your countries leaders simply complying with US demands. If you aren’t aware of that, that’s no problem and certainly not mine.

    Yep. Happens all the time. CNN (or WaPo or NYT) etc run a story based on anonymous sources.
    MAGA cries “fake news”.

    Several days or weeks or months later the story is confirmed. By then, MAGA crowd has already moved on to screaming fake news about the next story. That also turns out to be true.

    Ok, observers should stay in their lane and remember their limited role.

    someone should be locked up because of documents that are classified as illegal
    FYI, those are not his documents, and the handling of the documents are quite clear. If any Joe did what Trump did, they would already be in federal prison.
