    Also, I even posted Obamas EO granting even MORE power to the president.

    its not to do with hypocrisy, its about the technical details of decalssification. and the trump has incredibly broad powers to do it. again, think about the bin laden raid. it was secret until obama revealed it. yunno why we didnt complain? he was in charge. he decides he can talk about it. if anyone else had revealed it without permission from the president, prison.

    see how the president has unique power and why?

    And you didn't answer the question about if Trump were a Democrat. Oversight?

    https://www.npr.org/2019/09/05/7580...-highly-classified-satellite-photo-yep-he-can

    a while back, trump tweeted a classified satellite image. NPR understood why he can do this:

    "
    "Anyone else who revealed it would be sitting in Leavenworth prison, serving out a prison term," Klingner says.

    Steven Aftergood, who studies government secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists.

    The rules about classification are laid out in very detailed presidential orders as part of a system run by the executive branch, and Trump is the boss.

    "He therefore has the authority to decide unilaterally what will be disclosed, what will be declassified and what will not,"

    I'll say it again. I agree that Trump HAD the power to declassify material WHILE HE WAS POTUS. Do you believe those powers extended to him after he left office? Do you also believe he had the authority to maintain classified material at his Florida residence?

    no, he cant do it after he leaves office, but he took this crap from the white house, which is where he lived WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT

    If it was a Dem there wouldn’t have been a raid and no thread.

    Of course to took it while he was POTUS. He wouldn't have access to it afterwards.
