    But it isn't nothing. A private citizen shouldn't be hoarding national secret documents in an unsecured location in the first place. it's against the law and is a danger to our nation.

    Folks wanted picture, they got a picture. Folks want the inventory list they got the inventory list.

    the FBI seized more than 100 documents with classification markings in August, including 18 marked top secret, 54 secret and 31 confidential. but ah yes it's probably a nothing burger cause they are all Christmas cards. 3 levels of classification, all Christmas cards.

    sure, but people break the law all the time. We don't send the FBI after people who drive a mile over the speed limit

    he that is without sin, let him cast the first stone

    If you remember, things labeled SCI can not be things like Christmas cards. Also, regardless of classication, it isn't legal for Trump to have the things that don't belong to him.

    Also, just because it is possible that there might be some Christmas cards, it is doubtful that all of it were things like Christmas cards.

    There is no evidence any of it was a Christmas card, but sure it's possible that some of it was. It's also impossible that some of it was.

    So ^ this ^ sixty year old rando is going to copy paste random **** from a tired collection of MAGA friendly blogs until the state of ignorance has been lifted.

    Your boy Trump is busted - again.

    Screw you for supporting that POS.

    Breaking a law pertaining to national security shouldn't be liken to someone who drove a mile over the speed limit.

    Gotta stop downplayin sht like this, national security is serious stuff. I expect better from folks that come from the party of Law and Order. but can't say im surprised.

    He probably quit the board after the Republicans also turned against the Iraq War.

    I think privately holding classified documents regarding things like human intelligence assets and signals intelligence is a bit more severe than a mile over the speed limit.

    Trump himself said that people who do things like that should be executed.

    Of course the law is stupid - it was signed by Trump, LMFAO.

    Honestly I'd like to say to @Os Trigonum that Trump was hoisted by his own petard but i think he'd report me to a moderator

    I hope Trump uses the Christmas card defense also. Might as well throw as many stupid sht at the wall as he can and hope something sticks.

    Having SCI classified documents, refusing to hand them over and lying about handing them over isn't the same as going one mile over the speed limit.

    I'm not sure why you or some journalists all of a sudden believe taking classified top secret documents, refusing to hand them over lying about it, lying about it in response to a subpoena isn't something serious.

    It's bizarre. Sure the lower classified things might be something like a card, though there is no evidence it was something that trivial. But Top secret SCI documents absolutely are not. Why would you downplay that?
