    1. Respect liars, cheats, thieves and fraudsters equally to the honest who don’t cheat, steal or defraud ?
      Respect pedophiles and anti-pedophiles equally ?
      Einstein was a deluder … and so are you !
      Surely you should disrespect things that deserve disrespect and likewise respect things that deserve respect !

  2. Well, fail to respond to a subpoena properly and this happens then you go to jail…and when you are the one who strengthened a law, you shouldn’t complain when it comes back on you…

    1. @Ryan Flynn is that all you got? That’s your real come back? I didn’t realize I was talking to someone challenged.

    2. @Ryan Flynn, Jamie Payton isn’t a fan of democracy. Jamie prefers an autocracy, where the top autocrat is beyond the reach of the law. The law, in Jamie’s dream country, only applies to the little people and Jamie’s political enemies.

      Jamie is going to tell you that it’s impossible to enforce the law in this case. Jamie is going to tell you stories about the lack of any convictions and penalties for violating the clauses that govern this sort of documentation.

      Soon, Jamie will start blaming the National Archives, Joe Biden, and George Soros for these documents ending up at Mara Lardo.

      And when you don’t see or subscribe to the brilliance of Jamie’s fascistic utopia, Jamie will ridicule and insult you, because you obviously aren’t a true patriot.

    3. @Chris Magnussen you won’t find a judge or lawyer w the level of clearance the president has to review the necessary documents. Duh! Been there before. It’s a real issue . Let me look for the crayons.

    4. @Ryan Flynn You’ll see. No one will be able to try the case. You don’t quite understand interpretation of the law. You’re spitting blanks.

  3. I’m starting to think the whole ‘first presidential candidate to not release their tax returns’ was a bit of a red flag… 🤔

  4. How did specifically requested, TS/SCI documents that are to be observed only inside of a SCIF, make it in the hands of a former president and now private citizen who has foreign nationals and business people attend his residence regularly?

    Who were the people in his administration that somehow obtained them, especially the SCI documents, put them into boxes and delivery them to his residence?

    This may be a even bigger investigation with regard to the security of the country and answers are required.

      Her private servers had classified emails (clearly marked classified).

  6. He’s talking his damn trip there is a process to declassify information and he didn’t do that. And he can’t declassify SCI anyway

  7. There’s no way, whether he declassified them or not, that they should be stored at a fucking golf club in Florida…

    1. @Chungas Revenge
      Ok and, do you not understand it’s an FBI warrant, and it’s written in such a way that they can search anywhere in the estate. Dude you are clueless! You got nothing, GTFOH!

    2. @Call Me Hakeem Putting laughing faces at the end of your comment doesn’t make it correct. Actually, putting those faces behind such an obviously false statement makes you look extremely ignorant.

  8. This begs the question – if we have a potential spy , possibly guilty of espionage, are any of his appointees legitimate?

  9. Apparently anyone can declassify anything, just by saying so, even after the fact, according to Trump. Cool. I hereby declassify Trump. He is no longer a despicable human being. He is now a despicable p.o.s. Wow, that _was_ easy.

    1. “We Are Stronger”

      A Poem by Steven F Gooden
      We’re never as strong, as we are until we have to be. Never Do as much, unless the need we see. Only give our best, when we fail at mediocrity. We Love rather than hate when we admit we’re one humanity. We always give more, when compassion moves our heart with unbridled generosity. We Become more of our potential when we are made to see, that clearly our minds can believe in unfathomable possibilities, while seizing every opportunity, here in lies one’s destiny.  More than our scars, higher than our stars, for in  our flaws are what defines our features, they’re uniquely ours, as human creatures.
      We can run faster than on our slowest day. Reason better, and thinking it through all the way, regardless which direction our  emotions may sway. We can find our voice when speechless, our strong words with meekness and our Courage in weakness. Always patience not quickness. Silence for peace than loudness, quietness of fear, not hopeless, for time and effort  are equally unbiased. We are more than the stories we’re told, we’re the one’s we write, each page unfold. We are the sum of our Lies and truth, fantasy, fiction, faith, and myths, no matter how uncouth. These are what shape us, our lives lived is the proof. We can be more right than wrong. More just than judge. More godlike than unlike. Reflecting Sunlight in our darkest night.
      Providing refuge. Never more alive until we die within and begin again. A Human Ark Divine in our human spark.

  10. POTUS should not have the ability to unilaterally de-classify anything they want with no scrutiny or justification, ESPECIALLY if the reason is to avoid criminal consequences. Same goes for self-pardon, and pardon of co-conspirators. Congress needs to change the associated laws to make sure these things can never happen again.

    1. VOTE BLUE come November to help make these changes, then actively advocate for the changes we all want things to change.

    1. @Chuck Steak Not me. I had myself hypnotised to drop a nasty poop whenever I’m waterboarded. They’d only try to do me once. Unless one of them gets the bright idea of wearing gas masks. Then, I’m F’d.

  11. Seems like those at the top are the ones that should get the most severe treatment, because they are the ones setting the laws and should be the main ones abiding by the laws.

    1. “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17

      “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:38-39,

  12. When you no longer have the legally required clearance to handle and read certain documents. Then steal it from you previous employer. That’s a F’ng crime.

    1. @David Brown For the record, Sandy Berger did not ‘get away with it.’ Sandy Berger plead guilty to taking three copies of the same document and was fined $10,000.

    2. @vast vessel wasn’t she cleared by Trump’s justice department? Even so, if she committed crimes she should’ve been prosecuted. Trump is fucked !

    3. “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17

      “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:38-39,

  13. You can’t just say “they’re declassified” it’s a process.. even Obama went through the National Archives for his personal papers…at great expense btw. Con Man Don..ain’t got time for Law and Order.

  14. POTUS can NOT just say “These documents are declassified, I say so.” He CAN go to his people and say “I want these documents declassified, make it happen.” And then they will go through the process where they make sure that those documents do not contain any information that can hurt the country or any of it’s operatives out in the field. Could take weeks or months for any particular set of documents.
