Biden had to STEAL those classified documents. Should Joe Biden be Impeached for stealing classified documents? (Poll)

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

President Trump never stole anything.

Of course. Mr Trump has never done anything wrong in his life. He's the perfect human.

I am sure you are about as ignorant as they come,especially when it comes to what the president knows

Hilarious

I saw MTP this morning and Senator Joe Manchin explained how when you read classified documents they are read in a SCIF, "Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility". After you read them you are supposed to leave them in the SCIF.

Biden had to steal them. There is no other way to keep classified documents. Biden is a criminal.

Trump said he "declassified" the documents. Trump had "legal" authority over document classifications, Biden did not.

Democrats are saying that after Biden got caught he cooperated, whereas Trump did not cooperate.

"Cooperation" after you're caught is NOT the issue. Stealing classified documents, and for what purpose, is the issue.

No one caught Biden. He and his lawyers submitted the documents when no one even knew they were taken in the first place. There should be an investigation into why he had them and what they contained. His properties should all be searched, and he should be prosecuted like anyone else.

Trump didn't declassify anything. That's the problem. Declassification has to go through normal channels. Nothing of the sort happened. Please stop it with the maga bullshit already. This is not truth social.

Trump didn't cooperate, this is true. He was keeping those documents no matter what. That's why they had to conduct a raid on his property. Who he was planning to sell secrets to, no one knows.

You are wrong on a president's protocol to declassify.

Yes, the president can declassify documents, but there isn’t a set protocol they have to follow

Former President Trump claimed documents found at Mar-a-Lago were “all declassified.” We explain why sitting presidents can declassify documents and how it works.

If you disagree, please post links proving your assertion of a presidential protocol.
Also note, that the PRA does not exclude any documents, such as defense department plans.

Pence had classified docs. The moment they were found, his team contacted authorities. The docs were returned in days.

No charges.

Biden did the exact same thing. The outcome will likely be the same.

Cuts no ice.
The Presidential Records Act governs the documents.

Says who?

 

[Lakhota]

Biden's records are 30 some years of Senate records - which he is legally allowed to have. He is allowed to show them or even give them away.

 

[kyzr]

Says who?

AG Whitaker. Said he re-read the PRA and there are NO exceptions. All presidential records are covered by the PRA.

WRONG. No one is allowed to have classified docs outside a SCIF dumbass.

No, there is a set procedure even if it is an informal formality, your own link points this out, so I dont even need any. I don't know why you would link any article that confirms what I've said, but not your own theory. What Trump did was essentially burglarize the white house by taking things that didn't belong to him and not telling anyone. It's all a moot point now because in court transcripts even Trump admitted he never declassified anything. This is where the cultists go wrong every time. They literally take the word of a sociopathic liar trying to save his own skin instead of looking up simple facts on their own. If Trump has an opportunity and a microphone he will lie every single time.


All the quotes here are from your link

"However, presidents generally follow an informal protocol when declassifying documents, Richard Immerman, a historian and professor at Temple University, told VERIFY.

First, the president will consult all departments and agencies that have an interest in a classified document. Those departments or agencies then provide their assessment as to whether the document should stay classified for national security reasons. If there is a dispute among the agencies, they debate, but the president ultimately makes the decision on declassification, Immerman explained.

When documents are declassified, they are reviewed line-by-line. In many cases, certain words, sentences and paragraphs remain redacted, even if the document is declassified, Immerman said.


If a document is declassified, that doesn’t automatically mean it can be shared widely, either. For example, nuclear information – which is generally classified – is also protected by the federal Atomic Energy Act of 1954, McClanahan explained.

The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals wrote in a 2020 decision about whether statements made by then-President Trump declassified the existence of a CIA program that “declassification, even by the president, must follow established procedures.”

The Washington Post reported the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago for “nuclear documents,” among other classified information.

“Because [nuclear information] has this dual protection, even if you declassify a nuclear document, you cannot disseminate it because it’s still what’s called Restricted Data,” McClanahan said.

“So to the extent that he [Trump] had any nuclear information in there, declassification would not help him in the slightest, because he would still be disseminating restricted data or moving Restricted Data,” he added.

There are other federal laws in place that bar a president from taking government records, whether they are classified or declassified. Still, breaking those laws – or most other laws – doesn’t automatically disqualify someone from becoming president, because of the simple presidential qualifications that are outlined in the U.S. Constitution

The amazing part isnt that he stole them. The amazing part is how the fuck did he do it successfully one time, let alone THOUSANDS of times? Do you know how fucking hard it is to snag a document when it was checked out of the library by an agent who personally oversees that document the entire time it is out of the library?

Thousands?

Impeaching Biden is an exercise in futility.

It would cost taxpayers money and I just can't see it accomplishing anything good.
