I will hold you to your word for it, about all the very Top Secret documents in his possession and we will shall see in the future what the result will be, what the SC says anything about it if ever brought into it.Yes. The president has the ultimate power to declassify documents. He doesn’t have to ask some pencil pusher for permission.
Wrong.There is no set “procedure” for a President to declassify. He just says they are declassified and they are. Period.
If you did a simple search you can find damn near anything.I think that is on you.
Also wrong.doesnt matter it is the Presidents power to use any way he sees fit to use it,
His staff and his attorneys stated he had a standing order about declassification of documents . Just because you pretend to know what that Involved or didnt involve doesn’t mean he was mishandling anything.Wrong.
“It's not the case that a president can declassify documents with just verbal instructions. His instruction to declassify a given document would first be memorialized in a written memo, usually drafted by White House counsel, which he would then sign.” ibid
And yet again – whether the documents were de-classified or not is irrelevant; Trump can be subject to prosecution for mishandling information concerning military intelligence and national security.
Disagree.
Whatever their faults and failings, Democrats are nothing like Republicans – the latter are infinitely worse.
From McCarthy, the Southern Strategy, and Watergate, to the rise of the Christo-fascist right, to the 1/6 rightwing terrorist attack on America’s democracy; the racism, bigotry, and hate; the racist voter suppression and gerrymandering; the anti-immigrant nativism; the attacks on the First Amendment and the attacks on the equal protection rights of gay and transgender Americans; the endless conspiracy theories, misinformation, and lies.
And now the ultimate manifestation of the reprehensible right: Trump.
You seem to not understand that Trump had only one term in office. He was not in office when Bill Clinton stole things from the White House. He did not promise nor did he prosecute 44 for his taking records. But you seem to only be able to read about Hillary s misdeeds. Unfortunately not everything in this world is solely about Hillary and Trump. My point is that there have been numerous thefts from the White House but no one actually prosecuted or raided them in the past. So again this looks like nothing but politics at it worst
This is why conservatives are appropriately despised and why conservativism is indeed reprehensible: the right’s willful ignorance, blind partisanism, and contempt for facts and the truth when facts and the truth conflict with conservative dogma – or in this case, reflect poorly on Trump.Please discribe the process Presidents have to follow and who’s permission they have to seek.
Is he the President now?
What was he doing with documents still labeled Top Secret at his home?
Isn't that a security issue for the whole nation?
The documents at his home were related to his administration. Taken while he was President and had the right to do as CIC.
And whatever Clinton’s faults and failings, they in no manner compare with Trump or many other Republican politicians; Clinton acknowledged her election loss, which Trump failed to do.As he was but I saw Hillary as no better. We have scraped the bottom of the barrel for our candidates. Hillary did the will of the corporations and carried out their wars for them. That she would allow people to pee wherever they wish does not over come that.
Yes. The president has the ultimate power to declassify documents. He doesn’t have to ask some pencil pusher for permission.
And whatever Clinton’s faults and failings, they in no manner compare with Trump or many other Republican politicians; Clinton acknowledged her election loss, which Trump failed to do.
Indeed, that Trump is far worse than Clinton illustrates the depravity of the right.

No. Democrats and Republicans are not ‘the same.’
True.Top Secret is strict “Need to Know”
What does a disgruntled Ex President need to know?
Wrong.

Ask his attorney.Fair enough
What happens after he declassifies information?
They need to notify someone that the information is now unclassified
ANY president has that power and all have used it.
Ask his attorney.
No one said he did.Yes. The president has the ultimate power to declassify documents. He doesn’t have to ask some pencil pusher for permission.
can you substantiate the claim that Trump did not know what was in the boxes, because he lawyers all say they saw them and knew what was there,Really, can you give some example of other presidents declassifying entire boxes of documents without even knowing what all was in said box?
I will be happy to wait while you find some
