Do you believe Trump can 'declassify' classified docs by just 'thinking about them'?

"There doesn't have to be a process, as I understand it," Trump told Hannity. "You know, there's different people say different things, but as I understand, there doesn't have to be — if you're the President of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it's declassified, even by thinking about it."
By the simple act of handing you a top secret document the President has declassified it. He is the ultimate arbiter of classification. There is no formal process and there are no written procedures. Just by him making a document public, it is considered declassified.
If you didn't get all your misinformation from the main stream PHONY media, you would know this.
So what we have here is broad overreach and over charging in a case of a document dispute. No one knew these documents were at Maralago until the DOJ turned it into a national issue. That was stupid and will be another embarrassment for this failed, clown show Presidency.
I'm pretty sure they are not. But we do laugh at you a lot for your complete and utter lack of knowing much of anything.
It's a matter of evidence and proof, of which Eric Garland has little of.
Absurdity; the last desperate refuge for the ignorant, the dishonest and the stupid. Yay you!

Nope.
And if he can - the framers of the Constitution sure whiffed on a biggie.

You embarrass yourself with such smarmy smugness when you are so poorly informed and clueless.
No he hasn't. In fact, he wins most of those legal battles. Dipshit.
Here's Trump's latest bullshit. He can 'declassify' documents by just thinking about them. Do you believe him?
Trump’s claim of declassifying documents ‘by thinking about it’ is mocked by legal experts
Former President Trump says he could declassify documents just “by thinking about it” — an outlandish claim that drew howls of outrage from legal experts.
Speaking to Fox News’s Sean Hannity, Trump asserted there is no need for the president to formally declassify documents or even notify anyone that he has done so.
“If you’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying, ‘It’s declassified,’ even by thinking about it,” Trump said.
“There can be a process, but there doesn’t have to be,” he added. “You’re the president. You make that decision.”
Trump is scrambling to find a legally viable defense to the investigation into mishandling top secret documents that led to the Aug. 8 search of his Mar-a-Lago Florida resort.
He apparently believes one defense could be that the documents were no longer classified because he says so.
But experts vigorously dispute that, noting that he has never provided any evidence that he declassified them before leaving the White House.
“I tried not to burst out laughing,” said Bradley P. Moss, a national security lawyer.
A three-judge federal appeals court panel, including two Trump-appointed justices, trashed Trump’s claim Wednesday night, saying documents that are marked as classified are considered classified unless there is evidence they have been declassified.
It doesn't make sense. Saying info is "declassified" doesn't reduce its sensitivity or harm it can do in the wrong hands.
No, trump stole the shit and threw it in his desk in his sucky golf club. There's no "declassification process" that would prevent the stuff he took from saying, "declassified".
He's correct. Do you have any facts to suggest he is wrong. You uneducated leftist twits are laughably stupid.
There's no way the Supreme Court's going to be fine with trump stealing top secret docs.
It makes no sense to an uneducated, low IQ dipshit like you. But yes, the President is the final arbiter as to what remains classified. There is no process. There is no written process. If Trump hands you a top-secret document, it is no longer top secret. You leftists really don't have a clue about anything. It's probably why dipshits like you vote Democrat.
Dumbass.
Trump didn't steal anything you brain dead dumbass.
I am amused when dipshits on the left believe that Trump even packed his own office and documents.
First, you elect a moron like trump.
Then you trust him with our health, welfare and national security
Then, he betrays and attacks his own country.
Then he steals our top secret docs
Then.... and this is the important part.. this will explain everything.. Ready????
SQUIRREL!!!

It's not looking good for Trump. His supporters will keep spinning it, but his legal problems go WELL beyond anything the Clintons ever faced. And he was pretty zealous about the "lock her up" stuff.
I'd advise stocking up on popcorn.

Because YOU say so? No.
Also, you fuck your neighbors' sheep.
