Hello
I have this deal just for nebula. Wanted to point at that offer is hugely misleading as curiousity stream is capped at 720p at that price. If you want to watch in a modern resolution the price is far higher than any other streaming service.
No
Should he? Probably. Will he? No.
One can only hope. The man is a tumour to Humanity.
I was in the military. If I took classified documents home, I would have been promptly court-marshalled and I'd still be sitting in Ft. Leavenworth. Potentially tried for espionage. Funny (and sad) to see the law applied differently across socio-economic lines. Wealth and power buy you access to a whole different level of society.
Yes, that's because you were never comander in chief, weren't you?

@@invalid_420 except the president can pretty much do whatever he likes with classified documents.
If Trump really goes to jail because of a law he passed, and an FBI director he appointed, I will never stop making fun of conservatives who think this is a deep-state conspiracy against Trump 😂
Easy. They'll claim that Trump was being manipulated or mind-controlled when he signed that law or when he appointed the FBI director.
As a republican, I support him going to jail if he truly did break the law. And let’s be honest…. He is a billionaire, they live by different rules. Of course he’s broken some laws. Now it’s can they prove it.
There’s no chance he goes to jail bruh. Not a fan, but don’t be surprised when it’s him v Hillary round 2 in ‘24

@@Matthew_0506 but is it the first time someone did so with nuclear documents?
I have talked to lawyers in the past and asked them the same question and always got the same answer. My question: What if someone doesn't realize that they committed a crime? Their answer: Ignorance is no excuse.
Ignorance of the law can be a valid defence for some crimes. They are considered "specific intent" laws, which require the prosecution to prove that the defendant both: intended to commit an unlawful act, and. specifically intended to violate the law.
You mean like wiping their secret server with a cloth and smashing all of their phones with a hammer?
@@brazilnut8898 You love trump so much XD. Get a new idol, this is such a bad example for you.
It's ignorance of the law it's the lack mens rea if the documents ended up in his possession because someone else put them there without his direct knowledge.
@@justz00t48 the FBI and his lawyers told him the documents were there months ago
Former librarian here. Couldn't help but notice the Farside, Get Fuzzy, Spice & Wolf, Trigun, JRR Tolkien, and the STACK of Forgotten Realms books (and various others) on the shelf behind your lawyer. I trust him implicitly. 👍
There was a soldier stationed in Alaska who tried to sell training manuals to the FBI. You can get training manuals online nowadays but the issue was that he intended to sell information. He’s still in prison.
that's interesting. never heard that story - do you have a link?
Ooo, link please, if you can.
@@duetopersonalreasonsaaaaaa same (please)
Link
Guys you cant post links in comments… most channels have them blocked. I tried but jus search it up…
I used to have a side gig as a Comsec custodian in the Army and my main job was dealing with secret or higher material. I can only imagine the hammer that would have come down on my head if I were to just take a folder or device home with me and stick it in my closet or attic for any reason at all. There would certainly not be any nice meetings between the FBI and my lawyer asking to please return them on my own first.
Lots of stories like yours. Tell me, what makes you think the potus would have the same restrictions as you? Do any of you supposed topic secret dudes really think your clearance would ever be used like potus clearance does? POTUS gets high level info in briefings DAILY! Y’all are schmucks.
See: Reality Winner
I met a nuclear physicist who had worked for the government and he told me that at one point every thing he wrote was classified. The example he gave me was writing a note asking another employee if he would like to have lunch with him and trying to send it via internal communication. He was told, in no uncertain terms that it was classified information and would need to be delivered by armed guard! He was also denied a passport because he wanted to visit Poland (this was the cold war)
Funny, Trump's lawyer were working with the FBI to find out what documents he might have had
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you didn't have another side gig as POTUS
5:24 can we all take a minute to appreciate our man Kel McClanahan has not just a bunch of collegiate reading behind him... but some X-Men, Far Side, Poe, Trigun, and Tolkien. Bravo sir, bravo.
diverse reading indeed
Lawyers never do video segments in front of a fiction book collection. If those are Kel's actual personal library, Kel is one of the coolest lawyers on the planet.
I had an TS/SCI clearance while in the Army many moons ago. Only one time did I ever need access to that level of info in that 8 years. The skiff I went into was probably the most secure part of the base, even more than ordinance storage. It included MPs with rifles, multiple heavy steel doors and a week of phone calls and paperwork just to step foot inside. The fact that these documents were stored in boxes, in a closet, secured by a padlock blows my mind.
The rooms that TS/SCI documents are stored inside are also required to follow supremely strict building codes. These rooms are constantly inspected and torn apart to make sure compliance is being followed and there is no bugs hiding in the duct work and what have you. Inspectors will rip off doors just to measure the width of the frame.
So yes, the idea that these documents were being stored in a rat motel with a 5 dollar padlock is completely bonkers.
Not to forget that the padlock was a late addition only after they were told the documents must be secured.
Realistically though: who'd break into a former president's home and get away with it?
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 To be fair, Mar-a-Lago isn't his house, it's a resort that has a history of its security being easily breached.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 The issue isn't that someone would break in(though they did catch a Chinese agent trying to enter MAL) the issue is the mishandling of the documents, who had access to them, were copies made and distributed, what was the reason for holding onto these documents, etc? Its not a secret that the Trump admin had serious disregard for information security.
I work for a defense contractor, and occasionally have to handle classified materials. It's been drilled into our heads repeatedly year after year that willful mishandling of classified materials can lead to criminal prosecution depending on the impact and severity. Top Secret is a classification reserved for information that could be a grave danger to national security in the hands of an adversary. And as you said, there are so many rules and requirements for the storage of classified information that there's no way that his basement met those strict requirements.
That picture of the padlock says so much about the man.
He was the president. He declassified them before taking them home. Unless there's proof he didn't, I don't see why that point is being brought up at all.
Whew good thing Trump doesn't have well known contacts with and fawning opinions of several of the nation's adversaries.
Indeed. I once worked on the computers that could access such things. while I had the clearance to be in the room, I did _not_ have permission to look at any of the things, nor should I. There are simply things an IT guy doesn't need to know, and the nice man with the sidearm is always there to remind you of this!
So I don't care if the former president upgraded the room with a sign on the door reading "Beware of the leopard", he should not have been keeping documents there!
I’d be screwed if I was you, I’d tell someone by accident knowing me😂😂😂
I love Kel's bookcase. Whether those simply happen to be the books he's collected that were behind the spot where he recorded that part of the video, or the shelves were curated as a backdrop to make a statement about who he is via what he likes to read, he's clearly a man after my own heart.
Old white guy who looks and talks like he’s all business and no nonsense also reads manga is pretty awesome.
I just seen his bookshelf and it is legit, I bet he even has Calvin & Hobbes in there somewhere too
@@oldworldpatriot8920 got all of the Lord of the Rings books in there too on his left, Edgar Allen Poe too.
The scariest thing isn't even how he did this, but the fact that despite the evidence proving it people will say it's a hoax and he didn't do it at all.
it used to be "he didn't do it" and "ok he did it but here's why it's okay" were two separate steps in the fascist denial machine -- nowadays it's all gotten so schizophrenic that they can happen at the same time lol.
And somehow someone still donated to him
Yeah, like the Russian collusion wasn't really a hoax.
@@khazoury the russian collusion he alluded to openly and frequently?
lmao
@@pantalaemon Yeah, that one! Since no one else could prove it!
While I obviously can't give out the details, my father spent his entire life dealing with classified military information. That part of his life was completely closed off to us, and still is even now that he's retired. These laws DO NOT joke around. Having worked at government archives before, I'm more familiar with these laws than the average Joe, and it's very surreal to see this, of all things, becoming the central discourse of the country. The average person probably never had any idea about how classified information works before now. I'm very glad you're spending so much time and bringing in experts to cover this, as I've seen A LOT of misinformation and misunderstanding of how government information (ESP defense documents) work. People don't quite realize how much effort and very very serious law goes into protecting this information.
I just wonder which of those documents that he stole were sold by him, and to whom. I also wonder if his seeming immunity to our laws will change.
But he was not a President so, not the same thing.
REAL AMERICANS hate Trump and MAGAS.
What happens next is up the DOJ.
US will see.
The Obama Executive Order that sets forth procedures for declassifying information also give the president and Commander in Chief absolute authority over declassification and is EXEMPT from those procedures. The Espionage Act requires one to transfer or attempt to transfer classified information. There is no indication of transfer of documents that were declassified. What the intelligence community may deem sensitive information was not deemed by their boss the commander in chief. This is actually insubordination. There are no classified documents and no attempt or intent to share them with enemies. There is no probable cause so this warrant is not justified. Further, the judge who signed the warrant Reinhart is a heavy financial supporter of the left. He even took a leave of absence to defend Jeffrey Epstein. He has been to Epstein Island many times according to the flight logs. He once recused himself of a Hilary Clinton case because of bias and should have done the same here. His absolute hatred forcTruno is well known. This judge is obviously compromised and not dispensing Justice fairly or equally. This warrant is illegal. Further The FBI, according ti the inventory, took attorney client privileged documents which were not in the scope of the warrant. Seizing passports is a serious Federal crime. Further precedent was set when Hillary Clinton who had ACTUAL classified documents on her server which foreign governments had access to, was not prosecuted. Even still, the Biden VP records are still sealed in the University of Delaware despite FOIA requests concerning the Ukraine after a video surfaced of him bribing the then president of the Ukraine. This is a failure of the DOJ to investigate a crime that was on tape. Further, the DIJ/FBI refused to investigate the Hunter Biden laptop stating that they didn’t want to interfere with the election and yet this is what they are doing with Trump. The DOJ/FBI have lied and perjured themselves under oath so many times that they have lost all credibility. They lied to spy on the Trump campaign. They lied about Russiagate. They lied about General Flynn. They illegally hacked into the White House. They continue to lie about Jan 6th, withholding exculpatory evidence. Their operative Ray Epps was videoed inciting riot at the Capitol. The DOJ/FBI have failed time and time again to be truthful when it comes to Trump and the right. They have applied the law unequally which is unconstitutional and treasonous. Whenever I hear the terms “sensitive information” or “ National Security” I realize that it is a code for information that will expose our crimes. Probably the true reason for the illegal search. But who prosecutes the corrupt prosecutors? Politically Weaponizing the DOJ/FBI is high treason and no different than the Gestapo.
But that's exactly what Trump is banking on, just like he did with the election conspiracy nonsense. There's a simple method for making a conspiracy theory to mislead the ignorant. All you do is take some normal process that's been in place for long before your name was plastered in headlines, a process few average Americans understand, and then ask questions that would seem like a "Gotcha!" to the uneducated but anyone who knows anything about the topic would laugh hysterically at the utter stupidity of your questions. (That reaction furthers the divide between the ignorant and the informed and increases the Dunning-Kruger effect.) Then, when you inevitably lose, you summon your mindless troll minions to riot and use this to convince your followers that something untoward has happened (see: Confirmation Bias). Then, you sit back and watch them get long jail sentences while acting like you had nothing to do with it and, at the same time, condemning anyone who tries to enforce the law. This is how you create your own group of cultish followers, whether you're a politician trying to save face, an MLM "consultant" who wants a profitable downline, or a televangelist who wants to buy a personal jet with the widow's mites collected from his followers. It's all the same recipe: obfuscation and exploitation.
On a personal note, the fact that so many Americans seem to equate the President of the US with a dictator who can "do whatever he wants" is kinda sad. Even the President has laws he must obey, and yes, that includes laws about classified documents. Do you think Obama could just do whatever he liked with documents? Nope, he had to go through a lengthy declassification process (which took over a year) to get the files he wanted. Trump didn't do that, and he can't do it now because he's no longer the President and no longer has any "Executive Privilege", though the DOJ clearly wore kid gloves with Trump and gave him LOTS of time to comply. When he didn't, they proceeded to raid his estate to take back the files he'd lied about having. This is a crime, even if you USED to be the President. I shouldn't even have to explain such an obvious concept. Being a former President does NOT make you God.
Thank you for not just covering the documents themselves but the procedural aspects of this topic. So many news and "news" organizations have focused on the "Classified" part of this situation while leaving out the requirements and expectations around the declassification of material or the limitations on the president's authority. This is so incredibly material to understanding how tremendously Trump really f'd up here. Having worked in the defense industry, I'm personally in awe of how flagrant and dangerous what we know happened at Mar De Lago was.
I have seen people talking about the procedure to declassify documents on both cnn and msnbc. Doubt fox news will say anything.
Indeed
Would this be worse than nixon and Buchanan?
Only time will tell
Lol ok let’s see if you’re right
We don't know anything. We don't have the affidavit. We don't know what they were really looking for beyond what was in the search warrant, which was just generally described as 'classified documents'. We don't even know what documents were taken. There is speculation, as usual by an 'unnamed source' that they were looking for classified nuclear information, but there is no way anyone can confirm that. I am curious, did Trump really eff up with the Russian collusion? You knw the one where evidence now shows was all completely fabricated? People want this so bad to be the 'kill shot', but it is far more likely this is just more BS as has been since he was sworn in.
What did he do while in office with his merry band of crooks?!! Who else took information?!! Flynn or Jared for the Saudis?!! The Saudis we're just there!!!
The section at about 20 minutes in, about there being actual PROCEDURES that have to be followed to declassify something, really does blow that claim of the Trump apologists out of the water. Let them produce the evidence, if they can.
It is blindingly obvious that declassifying something would have to have a procedure. Otherwise, how would people who were then allowed to know whatever it is KNOW that this was now OK?! If someone stuck a document under your nose that said Classified all over it, and said "It's OK you can read it" you'd have to be an idiot (or in a bad spy movie) to just take them at their word.
The procedures are how the wishes of the president become known to everyone relevant. I'm thinking of an example where the president just said a document was declassified and had an aide take the document elsewhere for whatever reason. On the way there, the relevant authorities discovered the aide with the document, assumed it was still classified because there were no markings to say otherwise, and arrested the aide. It may be tedious, time consuming and frequently annoying, but formal bureaucracy exists because we're not all omniscient.
@@jeffreyquinn3820 Exactly the sort of scenario I had in mind.
How is this any different to Michael Scott's 'I declare bankruptcy'?
No, its blindly obviouse that the US has so many laws and ways to do things that its imposible to be fully on top of them, Im pretty sure even LE himself did a video where he points out every level of govemrnt has lost count of the number of laws.. you cant go and get every law in books, or in a download, or even a list its just not there. Hell you woudl praobly die of old age jsut reading the last ten years of federal laws. The issue here is Trump though he could do something, but there were exclusions, but the exclusions are in differnt laws..
IE you read a law that says "You can Jaywalk if you have high visabilty claothing on" and then you go Jaywalk with the required claothing on, but you get arrested becase 40 years ago a differnt law was passed that says Ïf you try to legaly jay walk, you must sing a song at the same time"
Blah blah blah. FBI told Trump to put a lock on the door to keep the documents safe and only after a year and a half they finally realize the documents are there. Eagle just loves leaving out all the important parts because he's just another Democrat hack.
The hubris behind handling national security documents with less care than commonly given to $5 coffee table books.
It took the FBI a year and a half and a Padlock to realize that Trump had "nuclear secrets". Apparently this is of such urgency that the FBI spent their time arresting parents rather than looking into this.
It was behind a locked door with a look that the fbi supplied
I'm confused why it took 2 years after trump leaving office in order for them to retrieve national security documents. Why wasn't it handled on day one? Who is handling our classified that allows someone leaving the job to keep documents. (this is even a defense of trump)
When you said that Trump can't just think Declassification in his head and then the documents are declassified, my first thought was Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy.
Lmao 😂
😂 I'm pretty sure Trump was in front of those boxes, surely he raised his hands, and said "I hereby declare this information... DECLASSIFIED" and then took home all those boxes, lol

Cause I do.
Most democratic voters don't even like Biden. They just wanted a non-horrendous, non-autocratic president
My favorite part is that every time he gets caught doing something wrong his defense boils down to "I'm not a criminal! I'm just incompetent!:
And his followers/defenders say (and have said) much the same thing--thus admitting that he is and was unqualified to be President (much less running so much as a lemonade stand).
Incompetence leads to gross negligence. As I understand it, in the eyes of the law, causing harm with intent or through incompetence is similar.

Don't forget the Cartoon History of the Universe Vol I & II.
Even as a software engineer where we deal with so called "Business Classified" material it is repeatedly drilled into us that we cannot mishandle the information, send it anywhere, or print it out. It's hard to imagine the president of the united states wasn't warned about 1000 times about this,
According to Bolton, his National Security advisor at the time, he would just allow Trump to "grab them and walk out of the door with them"
Oh I am sure they did, it is just that Trumps eyes glaze over unless his briefings mention money or his name every paragraph.
@@kyosokutai lol exactly. Not a lot in-between to keep anything from going in one ear and out the other...
Wouldn't he be required by the office of the President to sign an affidavit stating that he has been briefed on, and understood the rules to be sworn in? This would automatically negate any attempt at claiming ignorance, assuming they have signed proof of it.
I had to sign an employee agreement about customer information as a RETAIL worker. I have seen people charged for leaving customer credit details out where a company security officer could grab it, in retail.
@@littlekong7685 LOL You think he would even sign that?
I am a teacher, and in order to apply for my credential I had to pay and take a test verifying I studied and knew the US Constitution. I don't teach social science, I teach Science 🤣
I find it incredibly ironic because political figures do not need to pass this test before running for office.
5:25 I love that Kel McClanahan has on his bookshelf... X-men, The Far Side, Poe, Shakespear, Chi's Sweet Home, Oh My Goddess, Trigun, Vampire Hunter D, but also Geisha, a bunch of Tolkein novels AND several Forgotten Realms books (including Waterdeep!) This is not some prop shelf. This guy (and perhaps his family) have good taste. Some classics, but a strong preference toward comedy and fantasy. Good stuff.
I thank you! I’m a note taker on these and then use them to guide friends and family. It takes the emotion out of the conversation and brings it back to reality.

"I love the poorly educated." -Trump
And he *REALLY* loves himself.
Am I the only one who looked at Kel McClanahan's bookshelf? Lord of the Rings, various Forgotten Reals novels, X Men, the Far Side Gallery... and a small selection of manga, including Chi's Sweet Home, Oh My Goddess, Spice & Wolf (the light novels I think) and Trigun. Plus more conventional classics including Edgar Allen Poe, Shakespeare and Call of the Wild.
Chi's Sweet Home, BTW, is an absolutely adorable manga about a kitten, from the kitten's point of view.
Can we talk about how Eric's first thought was to ask supporters for donations? Seriously how do people not see that they are grifters? I guarantee if those same supporters asked Trump for a donation he would not oblige
They are cultists
As the saying goes: "There's a sucker born every minute"
It's not their first thought, temporally. It's their primary thought always. Asking their supporters for donations was already going to happen. They probably took the fundraising emails that were already going out, and removed the text about China, or wokism, or the 2020 election, and replaced it with text about the gestapo raid of Trump's home.
Trump has had created one successful business in his lifetime.
Selling red hats and begging for money from dumb Republican marks.
They use it as a situation to gain money guarantee only a small portion will actually be used. People are just ignorant and idiots if they donated
"Now, there is one crime that isn't mentioned in the search warrant"
Okay, here comes the sponsor plug
"And that is a violation of the Presidential Records Act"
Dammit, almost had him
I thought the same thing when he hit that point.
same same
Did exactly the same thing as well.
Maybe he planned for us.
What does that mean ??
@@arielathomo229 There isn't a content creator on UA-cam that does a better smooth segue from content to sponsor plug than Legal Eagle. Some of the segues during the Mueller era Trump administration were genius.
We had access to materials that one of our fellow members decided to take home and play with. He took it home on Friday, they came and got him on Sunday.
There was a chain of custody for the materials. They had his ass in the stockade by Monday. He took a other than honorable discharge up front rather than deal with a court-martial. He narrowly avoided a stint at Fort Sill or Leavenworth, is all we were told.
Nothing we messed with was worth taking home, let alone getting an OTH discharge. I'd love to see a former President take a similar hit, but I'm not holding my breath.
I had the exact same thought, I'm not sure why they waited two years to pick up national security documents when it should have been day one of him leaving office.
I have an idea, maybe before a candidate is approved to be on the ballet for POTUS they should have to pass a background check to determine if they are approved for security clearance the way any other government employee would have to. You don't pass, you're not allowed to be considered for the job. Period.
so who does the background check under the supervision of the sitting president
Then nobody would be allowed to run. LOL
The reason they don’t do that for any elected federal official is because otherwise a sitting president could use his control over the clearance authorities at the agencies to deny his political opponents candidacy for office. Imagine for example if one of Trump’s cronies was in charge of giving Biden clearance to run for president.

Junior's tweet sums up the mindset: "declassify everything". Translation: Nothing is more important than us winning or getting what we want no matter the consequences to anyone else.
I know that it's not exactly the same thing, but my first reaction to hearing them say "declassify everything" was "Now we can get to see all of his tax records".
"declassify everything" but also torture Assange for declassifying everything
@@robertc2447 to compare the two is idiotic. First, Trump has the authority to declassify documents. Assange does not. Trump did not 'steal' the documents. Someone stole the documents, and Assange received stolen property.
@@dougsholly9323 A) based on this warrant and his actions, Trump has essentially stolen these documents
B) What does it matter whether Assange had the legal right or not? Either its a problem to declassify everything or it isn't, whether legal or not
The president has that power... Zzz even Biden does at this point.
The fact that he is asking for donations in response to this, and that he was the one who signed off on this becoming a felony are all anyone needs to know about this guy's character.
For a guy that claims to be a billionaire, he sure begs for money a lot more than any homeless person I've seen.
Greedy and dumb

Well, I mean he already did that with that Executive Order 13933 he signed protecting Federal property from damages caused in protests, etc, when he said that the punishment could be up to ten years in Federal prison.

As a non-US citizen, I once worked on a defense project where we started a presentation in a meeting with one slide, the title slide, and immediately stopped again because people needed to check all the agreement numbers at the top. One company's agreement reference was missing, so somebody had to go and check whether they could stay in the meeting. (they were allowed to stay because their agreement was covered by another one that _was_ mentioned, but we wasted some time there) This was also the first project I ever joined where the term "air-gapped" was mentioned in relation to automated data gathering and exchange because some systems were for the US services, while others were for (mostly) NATO partners, and some three-letter organizations objected to such a connection. When I later asked why people were so touchy on information that was basically industry-standard knowledge, I was told that any US citizen can be held personally responsible for the transfer of "restricted" information without a formal release, even if it was known that the information was in fact already available through other channels.
Yeah the US has a lot of backwards laws and thinking, which as an American, I HATE! Europe is the better example, while the US is just the worst of the west.
The government needs to redo the whole classification thing, from scratch even. Look over every document. If it's alright known to the public it automatically becomes declassified. The only problem is I don't trust the current buerocracy to do its job correctly.
I don't know what you mean by agreement numbers.
Nothing stops me from reading a reply faster then opening it with the two words "As a". Nothing says "I want it to be about me now" faster then opening with what you are. You could have gotten the same message across (Probably, I didn't read after "citizen") without adding the "As a non-US Citizen" at the start like anyone actually gives a shit whether you are a US citizen or not. If your reply had merit, it wasn't going to be found in your citizenship status.
Food for thought.
@@mainstream2226 What? Their entire point is based on the differences between how the US and other countries handle, and thus punish for, top-secret/classified (or equivalent) documents

I like that LegalEagle makes something of a Freudian slip and refers to Trump as the "ex-president" rather than the more common "former president." It implies that the country has "broken up" with him, and considering the possibility that the likelihood continues to increase that he'll eventually be indicted on criminal charges, this feels like the first time that's actually appropriate.
Just want to point out that I want to be in Mr. McClanahan's book club. I love all the books he has in his bookshelf. White Gold Wielder is one of my favorite novels.

Military members that mishandle secret (never mind top secret) materials get at the least, career-ending punitive action. Mishandling top secret is jail.
Yep, civilian indoc even includes signing a form acknowledging a simple mistake is a felony and doing it on purpose to the benefit of a foreign entity is life in prison, or death for treason in times of war. But, this is another "rules for thee, not for me" situation. Remember when Republicans brought their cellphones and cameras into a SCIF in the Capitol for political theater? Not a single prosecution much less conviction, nor even a seizure and destruction of the device. If a normie brings a phone into a SCIF its the last time they see that phone.
Agreed. Don't see how we can continue to hold PVT Tommy accountable for this type of conduct when those at the top aren't held to a similar standard.
There is noone above president to decide what's classified.

@@platysplatys3967 but he has to follow specific procedures, not just dreaming about it
@@platysplatys3967 in the process of declassifying that information, the classifying agency would have to redact some or most of that information based on what can actually be released at the lowest level.
No matter how powerful the President seems to be, there are still laws and procedures in place by other organizations that govern this. Also, as a private citizen, Donald Trump has zero access to any of that information any longer unless it has already been declassified and re-released.

BREAKING NEWS: EXCERPTS FROM TRANSCRIPT OF TRUMP'S FINAL CALL FROM WHITE HOUSE TO PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA - VLADIMIR PUTIN - MADE ON JANUARY 19, 2021, SHOW THAT TRUMP SERVED AS ASSET TO PUTIN AND SOLD U.S. SECRETS TO RUSSIA
...
TRUMP: But before I do say goodbye, Vlad, I, ah, I just wanna let you know, I think I got all the secret documents you asked me to get but uh, Vlad, I just wanna make sure - is there anything else you can think of you might want or need?
PUTIN: Oh dah! Almost forgot tell. Make sure grab folder French President Macron. Never know. May soon come time Russia need blackmail him. You know. Like did you. Help you get USA presidency for life, Trump, for life! But then you screw up badly, so, so badly! Unbelievable, Trump, simply unbelievable! Never have such big disappointment in life as you, Trump. Never!
…
PUTIN: Don't worry. Is not problem. Just get me all secret documents asked for and will be fine.
…
TRUMP: By the way, Vlad, when can I expect to get paid for all these, ah, all these secret documents and uh, you know, this other great stuff from the White House I'm getting for you? - I don’t know, Vlad, look's to me like it's kinda important stuff but uh, I wouldn't really know for sure cuz, uh, I never bothered to read any of it - I mean, who has time to read stuff like that nowadays, Vlad, who has time, who? Not a busy man, not a busy man like the two of us are, Vlad, a busy man - So anyways, I don't know anything ‘bout it, but look, Vlad, look, what are we gonna do here, Vlad, what are we gonna do? I just wanna know when I'll get paid for it, that's all, I just wanna know when I’ll get paid.
PUTIN: Soon. Will be soon. Very soon. But first, need ask you do me one more, um, how you once ask President Zelenskyy for, um, what was it, for “favor", no? But don’t worry. Is small, very, very small favor. Should not be problem for you, no? Not problem at all. Is just small favor. Like how you say need from Zelenskyy. Only smaller than that, okay?
TRUMP: Okay, okay. So what is it, Vlad? What is it? I mean, I’ve done everything you asked me to do so far and, uh, well, you see, I'm really busy at the moment, what with the moving and all. - So, uh, Vlad, what more could you possibly want from me now, Vlad? What more?
…
PUTIN: Calm down. Relax. Okay? Is easy, okay? When Russia invade Ukraine, simply go on TV and tell all world how “brilliant” is invasion. Just say, "how brilliant is that", okay? And then, say how Putin is "genius", right? Genius. Then just leave rest to me and friends here Russia, okay? Will take things from there, okay? As American like say, 'easy peasy nice and breezy', no?
…
PUTIN: And now, if you will excuse me, mister Trump, I have other important business need attend - I have to go, how you say, rebuild empire - Yes! That’s it. I must go rebuild mighty Russian empire so be mighty Russian empire once more - I must make great Russian empire great empire again, again! - And so now, Herr Drumpf, err, I mean mister Trump, I am afraid I must say to you, my dear Trump, my dearest, most garrulous, most valuable and flatulent asset, I must say to you, 'do svidaniya'.

I'm incredibly related to documents classification. You have given a great account of how it works.
I genuinely cannot imagine the headspace some has to be in to take TS/SCI information out of its compartment/skiff. The sheer amount of trainings that are mandatory that must have just been skipped. There is willful negligence and then there is whatever this is.
Well Trump waived background checks for his cabinet as he knew they couldn't pass one to get the appropriate clearance
Presidential Libraries hold in excess of:
30 million pages of textual classified materials
1,000 rolls of classified microfilm from the Franklin D. Roosevelt through George W. Bush Presidential administrations
3 terabytes of classified electronic records
That's because you have a brain in that headspace and actually care about doing things right. The rump only cares about himself and doesn't care about lying through his teeth.
@@russellm2555 people are addicted to hate and division
@@danielgodfrey4415 Hatred is indeed a powerful tool for politicians, and Mr. Trump seems well versed in using it.
If guilty, he had better serve time. I'm exhausted with the elite class doing whatever they want and getting away with it. I also hope he rolls over on everyone from his Cabinet, leading to more scum serving time for their crimes. Enough is enough.
If only. Just so incredibly unlikely. I truly hate to see any person go to jail/prison. I forget the quote but it’s something like “I’d rather see 100 guilty men go free than 1 innocent man be falsely convicted” and I agree wholeheartedly. The prison system in this country is beyond embarrassing and truly horrifying. What’s unfortunate is the richer, more famous, more powerful, etc. you are the less likely you are to actual be punished for your crimes let alone serve actual jail/prison time for them.
If he is guilty, truly guilty, and had extremely sensitive documents he wasn’t supposed to have…then didn’t comply with the order to give them back…then he needs to serve ACTUAL time. Obviously he’d never end up in a high security prison, (nor should he tbh unless he’s done something truly horrific that’s unrelated and gets convicted for) but that’s fine. People call it Club Fed or whatever, but they have no idea.
Him paying a fine, maybe having to wear an ankle monitor for a little and BS like that is nothing. He’d of course be treated well in jail and it wouldn’t be as bad as a normal person’s stay…but there’s absolutely nothing like losing your freedom and having to listen to people, only being able to do things when they tell you, only being able to have certain things, etc. I’d rather see him have to go to the easiest jail ever for 6mo than be on probation for 6 years if he is guilty.
Again I find it extremely unlikely, but it is what it is.
If in the meantime he got elected, it would be both hilarious and horrifying.
The "swamp" they called it but yet they love the swamp and all these goons inside it. The "patriots" and "real Americans" who support trump also support his treason, his endangering of our people and country, his lies, and his breaking of our laws.

I wonder how many people have already filed FOIA requests for the documents found at Mar-a-Lago citing the claim they were declassified.
I heard a few journalists 'threaten' to do so, but haven't heard that they actually have. 😂
It wouldn't matter document's involved in an ongoing investigation are essentially impossible to get
Lmao. Documents related to on-going criminal investigations are excluded from FOIA, regardless of them being not classified or declassified.
Example: say one of the documents was not classified info and it had to do with (random example) trade agreements. You could easily file a request for documents and communications regarding “trade agreement XYZ”. But what you can’t do is file a request for FBI search warrant inventory item number 13a (which iunbeknownst to you/the public happens to be the same documents and communications regarding “trade agreement xyz”).
Once the information is released in a grand jury trial then people can go crazy submitting requests for specific things that are revealed to be part of the inventory. That’s when the classified vs declassified exclusions to FOIA come into play.
Press F for those poor government workers that have to go through all those requests

Trump did declassify the documents and sent paperwork to the Justice Dept. and they just sat on it.
The POTUS is literally the only person by Federal law with sole authority for classification of documents, which is delegated to heads of agencies or other appointed individuals. As long as someone else is there to bear witness to the declassification, he has full power to do so.

If there is an opportunity to grift idiots out of their money, Trump will take it.
@@Demmrir Heyyyy, don't worry patriot, your parents donated to make the States a safer place. /s
I'm surprised you didn't get 101 "hunters laptop" "hillarys emails" comments
X-men, Far Side, Tolkien, and Forgotten Realms books... I got so distracted by a glimpse of Mr. McClanahan's library! :D
It occurs to me (as a best case scenario) Trump was simply miffed about being “unjustly fired” from the presidency by people he considers below him. So the taking of documents was a way to hold on to the idea of being “super important” the way a teenager would.
There's some folks who think that Trump was blackmailimg other members of the GOP with some of those documents he had.
That doesn’t fit their cult narrative of trump won and is secretly still president…
Also a real possibility and would be consistent with how Trump has behaved in the past
HEY! I will not sit idly by while you insult my teenage son like that! He would at least take like a photocopy or something rather than the originals and pretend they were always missing. My son isn't an incompetent loser!
@@Dardobul I concur. My teenage daughter would take pics, or make copies, and pretend she didn't. 🤣
When I was stationed in Germany, I worked in S3 and had to get OPORD’s (operation orders)from our brigade and disseminate them to the companies. I was working on one when I noticed that it said classified. The thing is that in order for that guy to have sent me that order he would have to have taken it out of the skiff and then put it on the the unclassified computer and sent it to me. (The computers will have a little sticker on them that says whether they are classified or not) You have 2 sets of internet in the military, regular internet where unclassified material goes back and forth and then you have the SIPRNET. That information is the classified information and depending on the level it could be in a skiff. I don’t know what happen to him but I do know that I never got another order from him.
At a minimum, clearance revoked. Depending on how sensitive the info was, somewhere between: article 15 with a 45/45 and -1, or a 6-24mo stay
Thank you for the explanations.
I didn’t look into the guests credentials but his seriously impressive fantasy book section makes me apt to believe anything he has to say.
4:45 - One correction here: A person with Top Secret clearance does NOT authorized access to TS/SCI information. The SCI qualifier is an additional level, and (as you noted) they still require a relevant need to know the specific information. When I was on active duty, I had a TS/SCI clearance, but I would still not have been cleared to see the stuff at issue here because I wasn't part of the White House Military Office (WHMO).
Likely because WHMO information is its own SAP - Special Access Program - material, not SCI. The same would hold true for various Special Ops classified material.
Just to be clear, I'm just providing other examples for people reading your comment, not disagreeing with you.

So this is what we do? Discuss OPSEC/COMSEC procedures in YT comments? Well actually, when I was stationed at…

You forgot to add a timestamp for beginning to admire that fine gentleman's book collection! :P (unless you just count the interview timestamp for that)
Why has HRC not had to defend herself against the exact same charges where the facts that point to her guilt are patently obvious?
thanks brave jumpscare reporter
Kel has a kickass book collection. I'm seeing Forgotten Realms and Tolkein, Far side collection... right on, man!
