Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) says he does not take home documents marked special access like the documents the FBI says were seized from Trump's home, but argues that we don't know if they were classified appropriately. #cnn #News

I do not want this clown on the Intel Committee. He clearly cares more about his partisan politics than US security.
Exactly.
He is lying through his teeth…this country has gone down the tube.
Agreed!
He’s a 300 dollar haircut on a 35 cent head.
Having people like him on committees, such as the Intelligence committee, lets us know that this country in serious threat of security breaches.
@JOHN PHILLIPS Why?
Is he not the Attorney General of the United States of America?
@MrCabimero Maybe a liar’s committee while we are at it.
@Dave Ruckert You’re supposed to get wiser as you age…not the other way around.
After she asked him “Do you take home highly classified documents?” And he said “No” I pretty much knew the rest of this interview was unnecessary
@Mike Wilson Completely agree with you that Trump started this. We need to put the genie back in the bottle now – that doesn’t happen if things continue to escalate.
We were right not to hang the confederate leaders for treason, to not bring Hirohito up on war crimes, and to pardon Nixon. I don’t like Trump and would like to see him in prison but I think going down that sort of path is counterproductive if you care about the long term well being of the country
@Mike Wilson The emotional desire to see Trump “get what he deserves” is understandable but we shouldn’t allow it to cloud our judgement. I think that emotional need for revenge explains a lot of the glee we’re seeing about this turn of events and making people ignore the serious ramifications this may have on the future of the norms of executive branch. I would hope that good sense and prudent judgement would trump that emotional desire for revenge in the leaders of this country.
If successful revenge for you is to see Trump abandoned by his loyal followers I think you’ll never see it. It is anybody’s guess where we were headed over the next 2-3 years but it certainly appears that this whole fiasco has strengthened the Trump grip on the Republican Party which is a real shame as it seemed like they were starting to turn the page (that would have been the best punishment for Trump we could have hoped to see politically)
“These are labeled classified but we don’t know if they are classified ” come on Republicans you’re going full grotesque.
@Pinstripe Pride Absolutely. So using his logic, even if an actual document is stamped “classified” how do we know it’s really “classified.”
@Pinstripe Pride Also: If it’s two years old then the poison is no longer active.
@Michele Phipps yup, this is just another repub gaslight game. but if something marked ‘CLASSIFIED’ could be FAKE classified, then there is actually NO SUCH THING as actual ‘classified’ at all. every lawmaker making that ridiculous claim should have any and all clearance immediately revoked.
It’s a version of the old ‘Don’t believe what you see with your own eyes’ ploy …..
So the guy being invested shouldn’t have to answer anything but the guy investigating should be on trial? WTF

They both have a lot of questions that the public needs answered. Transparency is critical. Otherwise how can we trust our own government.
Clearly have no idea what fascism is
Tinysuperman you’re in Putin’s world of law, the Constitution is rule of laws not Propaganda
I know right! Makes no sense!
“The receipt shows it was marked as such but…” these traitors will follow Trump right to prison.
At 3:29 after she asked him ” Do you takes home documents marked special access” ?
Before saying NO, his face expression was PRICELESS.
He lied
perhaps the FBI should conduct a deep dive investigation at his house

So they are going from “there is no document” to “the documents dont pose any immediate national security risk”. Keep pushing the goalpost until everyone forgets
Sometimes I be feeling ashamed watching some of these lawmakers that supposed to be representing us.
Vote’em out
“You have to follow the law just as Donald Trump has to follow the law.” And he said that after giving a litany of excuses for why the former president didn’t turn over those documents.
…and he said it with an almost straight face.
@Ryooken 🤫
@Pano 360
The problem with going to court could be the time taken to get court’s permission to proceed with search. If the purloined files are Top Secret and possibly risk national security then time is of the essence. Plus it sounds as if all correct procedures were followed after months and months of polite discussion responded to by much obfuscation. Maybe no procedure would ever satisfy when it comes to enforcing the law with

Declassifying documents isn’t simply a process of waving a wand over them and declaring them declassified. There is actually a process to it that includes the review and consensus of those with knowledge of whether or not it can be done without harming U.S. national interests. It is not an arbitrary unilateral decision of convenience.
Correct. The most the president can do without going through that procedure is to waive the classification level restrictions for a select person for a select file for a select instance, and he must still maintain all security restrictions for the classification level of the materials involved, and he must still document the incident of waiver in some fashion. There would be a paper trail.
@Audrey W Correct. He ceased being president at noon on January 20, 2021, and that was not altered by anything. The authority was no longer his. If one document left past noon, it was illegally transported. If one document was ordered transported from the Archives to an entirely unsecured location, it was illegally ordered. And no padlock added to a basement door makes it “a secured location”. There is nothing he can say to justify his possession of that material. Just having it was a crime. And, contrary to popular opinion, the Espionage Act does not require classification level of material for criminality. Sensitive unclassified material can be charged under the Espionage Act. That is what they actually nailed the Rosenbergs on, not having cause for charging treason. He just digs himself in that hole deeper with every attempt to try and climb out.
I’m so proud of you girl for keeping a straight face on this one. I know it was hard to do, excellent job. Also, you need a raise.
When he wasn’t deflecting and distracting, he was plainly misrepresenting and flat out lying.
@Follower of Jesus Christ Praise the lard .
@S A K watch the video, genius — it’s chock full.
@Bernard Kung Hey genius, I did. She kept asking if he had any proof of what was taken. Does she? They wouldn’t let the lawyers in the house to watch. They exceeded the warrant’s application and went everywhere taking everything. I agree she’s full of it.
@S A K {snicker}
Con-men just _love_ the rubes who are so invested in justifying having fallen for the con the first time, regardless of evidence, the can’t bring themselves to actually think about the obvious facts staring them in the face, and keep choosing to believe agreeable fairy-tales instead.
All I see is total desperation from these people that tried to shame the search and then when it comes out about all this top secret and above security risks the next day and how serious it all really is, and they know how bad it looks, they are desperately trying to put up smokescreen after smokescreen- it’s embarrassing watching these Republicans right now
Keilar: “Do you take documents labeled Special Access home?”
Keilar: “Do you have evidence that there was not a national security threat?”
Rep Mike Turner: “uh Brianna, you’re breaking up a bit …”
Everyone listening: LMAO LOL yeah yeah.
Right?!?! Omg. You’re breaking up a bit. I hope everyone caught that. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Yeah, but there was some breaking up. It almost seemed as though some editing occurred in this video.
@Kurt Reber sorry, you’re breaking up a bit there, what news show were you watching again?
You can see in his eyes that this man knows he has not a shred of decency, respect or honour remaining. Trump infects everything he touches.

Be careful he is the next president 😉
The only thing he shows and can not hide is the desperation for another drink or pill.
@TheSkorpioprince who’s Obama?
“Would you take documents like this home?”
“No”
Dude was saying no not because he wouldn’t do it, he was only saying no because he knows it’s the right answer lol
He’s not the President who has the ability to declassify these documents. Nuff said
@Kevin Schuh But there’s no documentation of the declassification. There are rules (maybe laws) regarding declassifying sensitive documents. There has to be a paper trail when documents are declassified.
This is exactly the kind of politician that is so dangerous today — quick thinking, well spoken, with *absolutely nothing* to back up his thoughts and words.
Trumpists: “Show us the goods”
Government: “Here you go”

This is sickening. I work at a bank and I I have to take a refresher course every year in handling classified information. If anyone mishandles classified information it means termination or even prosecution if it’s willfully done.
Every corporation take this very serious. And this has to go up to another level of seriousness when you’re talking about government and national security.
It’s unbelievable what these guys would do for power.
Well said. Like the elephant in the room. I’m shocked that there is any debate on this. Blatant criminal act
