    Looks like this FBI thing is as phony as the Russia, Russia, Russia nonsense. Isn't it time to call out the Trump haters once and for all? It is the same old playbook over and over.

    Trump could declassify any document he wanted......checkmate.

    His actions would have been illegal even IF the documents had been declassified . . . and no one with two braincells to rub together believes that he had declassified them.

    Dumb argument. Checkmate.

    MAGA Mar-a-Lago FBI raid excuse list:

    Oh, THOSE files?
    They were planted
    He declassified them <---- You are here
    He sent all the classified info back
    He declassified all the stuff the FBI planted and that was sent back
    Meadows was supposed to organize that. Where is he?
    It was the movers
    Everybody takes work home
    He was keeping them safe from spies.
    Obama did it too
    The FBI waited
    Deep state
    Fourth Amendment
    Fifth Amendment
    Let’s see the warrant
    Oh. Well, where are the affidavits?
    Third world country
    Melania’s closet
    It was padlocked
    Passports!
    Russia Hoax
    Inflation
    Hillary’s emails
    Hunter's laptop
    Obama judge
    But Biden
    Soros!

    I'm not sure that it was ever disputed that the president has the authority to declassify documents, but don't let that disrupt your rooster strutting.

    Precisely. And if the Orange Dingleberry actually had declassified the documents, anyone is entitled to have copies of them. Which would establish what an incompetent half-wit he is to put our security at risk. And it wouldn't change the fact that he stole the documents.

    Hmm.. and I'm sure you can demonstrate how his handling here compromised US security... Oh wait, no, you can't, and won't. Either way, This numbskullery about creating a false narrative to haunt Trump with is as stupid and flimsy as the Russia hoax.

    I swear democrats want to los to Trump again. Perhaps we should just ignore y'all this time and not make him the nominee... And wouldn't that hurt... Biden would have to run against someone else, and all of the time and money he wasted would have been for naught....

    So you would agree then that Barrack stole the documents..... Or worse, that Hillary not only stole them, but had them compromised by Russians.... Geez.. are you really going to stand here?

    Buddy, you've been educated on this before. Obama didn't "steal" anything. Why do you insist on spreading this fake news when you know it is fake?

    No one is disputing he had that power when he was president, however, what does that exactly mean? Does it mean the moment he says it, proof, it is automatically declassified? or is there a process involved in which that declassification actually be imposed?

    I don't have to show you why the documents are classified, my Trump apologist chum. Nobody who can be taken seriously keeps raising this issue. They're classified for a reason--that reason being national security. He stole those documents and "secured" them with a padlock in a golf course event center's basement.

    That moron stole the documents, kept them in a basement and lied about having them. You trust that utter idiot with our national security?

    Run him again for President. He lost the house, the senate and the WH once before. Let's make him a loser again, shall we?

    Your assertion, and yet there are literally hundreds of thousand of documents sitting in his "library'... oh wait, you won't acknowledge that.. And you certainly can't say that about the clintons,,, Why does this hurt you so?

    No. I'm always right. You know this by now.

    Do you think that the Orange Lump stole classified documents to "write a memoir"?

    I have acknowledged it. It's just that, unlike Trump supporters, I'm capable of homework. The warehouse documents awaiting his library are in the custody of NARA. They are in the possession of NARA. Presidential libraries are not the personal possession of presidents. Why do basic facts upset you so? And why are you incapable of reading them? Because this isn't the first time your fake news has been disproven.

    Yes. I can't help it.

    Telling the truth and using logic are compulsions.
