    Edit - I'm as slow as George, and I can't even blame it on the whisky

    Wait, I'm slow too. The joke only worked if they'd left the passports in place. Duh.

    So we all three are just a bunch of doofikins.

    I figured it all out but was too classy to mention what doofikins you all were being.

      Trump’s current argument seems untenable. If no documentation were required that would give any former POTUS the ability to declassify things for the rest of his life.

      Obama could publish the detailed schematics of the Virginia class nuclear fast attack submarines and say “oh, I declassified these in 2007”

      Nope, it only gives POTUS the ability to declassify things while he is in office.

      The point is if the decision doesn’t need to be documented there’s be nothing stopping them from doing an ex-post claim. Like Trump is probably doing.

      I think all of them do, to one extent or another.

      Unless it's something that really affects national security or they took a couple of 8-wheeler loads of documents, let it slide.

        A Tucker Carlson moment….

        Trump says they took his three passports. One was expired. How is it that he has two currently valid passports? Is one not American? Or is he issued a Green passport? If so why would he still have a regular passport?

        Just asking.

            Because he’s a wonderful bunch of guys?

            Or maybe one for each of the people he loves the most

                  Very well presented. Thanks, it addresses a lot of questions.

                  All I can say is that it is murky pond into which this affair is leading.

                    Very clarifying by a writer concerned with evenhandedness in a matter that started out complex and is growing daily more so. Thanks to QT and Kluurs.

                    Theme sentence, IMO: "There obviously must be a point where information is so sensitive, and Trump’s disregard for law so extreme, to justify legal process against Trump, even in the current milieu."

                      That would have to be an awfully extreme point.

                      To raid an ex-President's home is beyond the pale, especially the way it was done. If Justice doesn't come up with something big, I mean YUGE, Garland has to go. Wray has to go. And a Special Prosecutor needs to shake the bushes for Whitehouse involvement.

                            To be fair, he did appoint an FBI director who appears to be enforcing that law.

                            Promise kept! Way to go, Mr Trump!

                                          Y'all did notice Trump went up 4 points after his home was raided?

                                          Ask yourself, how do you get more Trump?

                                          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton
