"No such law exists"

The supreme court already ruled in the Clinton case that a president is allowed to keep any documents they acquired during their presidency.

You really think they are going to make different rulings for different presidents?

Yes they do think that

It is explained to every new government worker. NARA is serious about keeping documents for historical reasons. The process for declassification includes the heads of the departments that have those documents. I am sure if a pang of honesty hits you, you can understand that what Trump tried to do was the end of all declassification. The copies of the documents exist in other departments, sometimes lots of them. When declassification is offered, all the people with an interest in them get a say. Can you imagine if Trump actually had the power to use his imagination to classify and declassify, what a mess it would be. You would not be able to prosecute people for stealing documents anymore. Who knows if Trump had a bad day at golf and declassified everything, but before you charged him, Trump reclassified everything?
Your trumpism is making you look stupid.

A process is not a law.

If you are bringing criminal charges against Trump he has to have broken an actual law, not a policy.

Trump was chided by legal experts over the weekend for seemingly making up legislation that he stated had authorized him to take national security documents home to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

During a speech at the Turning Point Action conference in West Palm Beach on Saturday, Trump complained about his classified documents indictment and claimed, "whatever documents a president decides to take with him, he has the absolute and unquestioned right to do so."

"This was a law that was passed and signed," he added. "And it couldn't be more clear."

"Nope. No such law exists. Period." wrote longtime Harvard legal scholar Laurence Tribe.

I guess he got all the mileage he could out of 'hoax' and 'witch hunt'.

Now he's using multi syllabic comments, and I'm guessing many in his base don't have the attention span to comprehend.

Saw Tribe's Tweet about that earlier today. So many, many hearts and retweets. So many.

That's not what the law says.

He can keep any declassified documents he wants per the law.

As usual, your handler gave you some incorrect information. Kindly cite "the law" you think says that a president can keep any documents he wants when he leaves office. We'll wait.

And wait.

And wait...

They weren't classified.

They were classified. There is no doubt about that. Quit parroting Trumpian lies. They simply were classified, some super classified. Do you get paid to repeat that in spite of all that has been shown you proving you are wrong? When you have no argument, you just repeat. Trump admitted they were classified.

Trump has the authority to unclassify anything, they aren't classified if he says they aren't making them his property if he wants them.

This is a shut and dry case.

It is. They were classified. Trump admitted it. The document theft occurred after he was out of office so that long, long reach you keep making is wrong. Trump did not have that power. When he was in office,he could direct that the process of classification should be started on individual documents. He had no power to declare everything classified or unclassified at his whim.

And that is what the court case will come down to and there is no law supporting the prosecution.

The Supreme Court may redefine that but as of right now Trump is in the clear.

There is no law or court precedent saying he couldn't do what he did.

I provided you with the law. I showed you what happened to others who took documents. They went to jail. Trump is terrified of this case because he knows he cannot win.
