reminder how the FBI handled H Clinton:

from 2016
https://nypost.com/2016/11/06/...lassified-materials/

H Clinton's maid was Marina Santos. Santos did not hold a clearance.

Santos also had access to a highly secure room called an SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) that diplomatic security agents set up at Whitehaven, according to FBI notes from an interview with Abedin.

From within the SCIF, Santos — who had no clearance — “collected documents from the secure facsimile machine for Clinton,” the FBI notes revealed.

Just how sensitive were the papers Santos presumably handled? The FBI noted Clinton periodically received the Presidential Daily Brief — a top-secret document prepared by the CIA and other US intelligence agencies — via the secure fax.

So who is the Play Caller for all this crap ?

Obummer? Surely not Hilary? Or a bunch of past their prime Frat Boys sitting in a backroom drinking warm beer?

Obama told everybody on TV last year he would love to be behind the scenes and not catch any flak from the press et al, while directing the activities of the country. You know, the transformation of America…

Zippy isn't smart enough. Valerie Jarrett called all his shots.

We are so infested with vermin.

Then she smashed government phones with hammers. WTF people?

And furthermore, the classified information that she was in possession of was current and relevant. And it was in digital form on an easily hackable server whereas the items Trump apparently had were in hard copy form secured in one location protected by Secret Service agents.

I’m sure VJ’s in there, along with the whole cabal including bill ayers, soros and klaus schwab

FBI agent Jeremy Linton signed the warrant.

Linton is also working the 6 Jan 2021 investigation.

Linton has been an FBI Special Agent since 2014

So the whole National Archives BS was just a pretext(read, lie)?

Of course it's bullshit. It's all about January 6th.

Bon Gino said something about an hour ago that makes a ton of sense. He said that the clients attorney was his most favorite person to see during a warrant search. Because the attorney could tell him right where the item was and limit his time on site and not have to tear the place apart.


So why were all the Trump attorneys kicked to the curb? So the attorneys wouldn’t show them right where the documents were and they could search the entire house for whatever they wanted.


Pure fishing expedition for January 6.

This is all a colossal waste of time and taxpayer money if what Trump says is true and that all of the stuff was declassified.

Guess who I believe? It’s not the swamp creatures in DC.

It's just more leftist banana republic nonsense. It is not at all uncommon for former Presidents to become classified material scofflaws and even to hoard documents and materials from their administrations. In the past, the government employees had to figure out polite ways to get the material back from staff or even wait on the former President to die and retrieve it from his estate. This is intolerable and a deliberate attack on Trump by the people running this circus. Wray was chosen to play like he had balls and pretend he authorized this political attack.

I'm grateful to have the filtration system that is all the fine members of this forum.

As some of you may know, I have been diagnosed with a severe allergy to bullshit. SIGforum has been intrumental in limiting my exposure to bullshit.

Trump describes process of how he declassified documents found at Mar-a-Lago

https://justthenews.com/politi..._campaign=newsletter

Donald Trump's office told Just the News on Friday that the classified materials the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate were declassified under a "standing order" while he was president that allowed him to take sensitive materials to the White House residence at night to keep working.

The official statement is likely to become the focus of the president's legal defense as the FBI and Biden Justice Department investigate whether he stole records covered under the Presidential Records Act or mishandled classified materials under the Espionage Act, allegations included in a search warrant released by a federal court in Florida on Friday.

The president's defense is rooted in the legal principal that the president and vice president are the ultimate declassifying authority of the U.S. government and through executive orders most recently issued in 2003 by George W. Bush and Barack Obama in 2009 that specifically exempt the president and vice president from having to follow the stringent declassification procedures every other federal agency and official must follow.

Trump has maintained for weeks that any documents still containing classified markings in his possession after he left office were previously declassified. On Friday night, the statement issued to Just the News explained exactly how that declassification occurred in his mind.

The very fact that these documents were present at Mar-a-Lago means they couldn’t have been classified," the former president's office stated. "As we can all relate to, everyone ends up having to bring home their work from time to time. American presidents are no different. President Trump, in order to prepare for work the next day, often took documents including classified documents from the Oval Office to the residence.

"He had a standing order that documents removed from the Oval Office and taken into the residence were deemed to be declassified," the statement added. "The power to classify and declassify documents rests solely with the President of the United States. The idea that some paper-pushing bureaucrat, with classification authority delegated BY THE PRESIDENT, needs to approve of declassification is absurd."

Two former senior aides who worked for Trump in the latter half of his term said they were aware that Trump routinely took documents to the residence rather than return them to the Staff Secretary or the intelligence official who provided them. Asked whether there was a standing order, one former official "I don't know anyone or anything that disputes that."

Ordinarily, documents declassified by a president are later retrieved and marked declassified, usually by crossing a line through the prior classification markings. But former top aides to prior presidents acknowledged the president's power to declassify was absolute and at times resulted in instant declassification decisions.

One prior administration official related an instance where his boss, while talking to a foreign leader, gave top-secret information to the leader, declassifying simply by sharing what he had seen in a top-secret marked document. Another official related an instance he witnessed in which a president, during a meeting, received a top secret document and one official got up to leave because his clearance was only at the secret level.

"The president instantly approved that staffer to stay and consume the top-secret intelligence because it benefited the president's work at that moment," the person told Just the News.

The president's detractors in Congress, the DOJ, and the intelligence community are likely to contest the president's arguments. But officials familiar with national security law said courts generally have held the president's power to declassify is far-reaching and that the process for how that happens can be more happenstance, something the Bush and Obama executive orders from 2003 and 2009 made clear.

Obama's executive order no. 13526, issued in 2009, laid out the stringent process all federal officials and agencies needed to follow for declassification, but explicitly exempted the sitting president and vice president from having to follow those procedures.

"Information originated by the incumbent President or the incumbent Vice President; the incumbent President’s White House Staff or the incumbent Vice President’s Staff; committees, commissions, or boards appointed by the incumbent President; or other entities within the Executive Office of the President that solely advise and assist the incumbent President is exempted from the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section," the Obama order stated.

Officials said it is likely the FBI will seek to find any officials or witnesses who knew or can confirm there was a "standing order" as described by the Trump statement. But in the end, officials said the president's declassification powers were sweeping and likely would be viewed as such by the courts.

Trump lawyer: Trump raid is about documents

Ostensibly the raid was about documents. But it's clear now that that is BS. It's about January 6th.

That was the title given on YouTube. I just liked the way she explained
President Trump's attitude toward the whole thing. I guess I should have explained that.

I watched the video and understood it was the title. What I don't understand is how it doesn't make any sense to her. The fact that the raid made no sense should make it clear to her what the raid was all about.

But yes, classic Trump as far as his attitude with these people.
