    What part of the Supreme Court Statement said he must have a witness? Do you understand the term "broad"?

    That IS the power of the presidency. To not have to ask permission for certain things.

    For 7 years you bitched about the constitution you seem to actually not know anything about. It is quite clear in all scholarly readings and SC & Federal court rulings the president IS the Authority over classified information.

    The President, after all, is the "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States." U.S. Const., Art. II, 2. His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security and to determine whether an individual is sufficiently trustworthy to occupy a position in the Executive Branch that will give that person access to such information flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant. See Cafeteria Workers v. McElroy, 367 U.S. 886, 890 (1961). This Court has recognized the Government's "compelling interest" in withholding national security information from unauthorized persons in the course of executive business. Snepp v. United States, 444 U.S. 507, 509 , n. 3 (1980). See also United States v. Robel, 389 U.S. 258, 267 (1967); United States v. Reynolds, 345 U.S. 1, 10 (1953); Totten v. United States, 92 U.S. 105, 106 (1876). The authority to protect such information falls on the President as head of the Executive Branch and as Commander in Chief.

    And with regards to Bill Clinton, the court also said this about when he LEFT office and there was a battle over "presidential records" like today.....

    "Since the President is completely entrusted with the management and even the disposal of Presidential records during his time in office, it would be difficult for this Court to conclude that Congress intended that he would have less authority to do what he pleases with what he considers to be his personal records,"

    So you see, Trump could even have said he flushed them down the shitter and it would have been legal.

    no. the investigation is to find justice, not to find him guilty. you said you hope he is guilty. an investigation that finds nothing is a successful investigation if there is nothing. why do you hope for guilt? again, shouldnt you hope for justice?

    yes you told us a thousand times, you like to imagine your political opponents are angry or upset. imagining emotions is the favorite thing of the modern internet clown.

    insiders say he is super worried!

    doesnt matter. the issue is you would have to prove otherwise, which is impossible.
    no he wont. thats not how laws work. you cant assume he didnt declassify if he said he did. he needs no more that to say he did and there is nothing more to discuss.

    i would like to see a link that its the most secret shit we have, as winston claims.

    unlike some of you bros i dunno shit about secret stuff but i do have friends that are secret service and federal prosecutors with secret clearances and they say almost none of what is marked secret is very dramatic. its not, for example, the names of our spies, which even the president doesnt need to know.

    It isn't all its cracked up to be. I've seen some of the dumbest shit classified. People that run SCIFs are ridiculous but they have to be.
