Like - how could they delete the word 'like' from the transcript. Like 'like' is an important word. And they also deleted an 'a'. Like that is evidence tampering you know.

Why alter anyone’s actual words/quotes in an indictment?
Article II Section 1 says that executive power shall be vested in the President. The President who is the Chief Executive can declassify and classify documents when and how he sees fit.
If the president says that he declassified a document, it is declassified.
It's up to the prosecution to prove otherwise.
This entire indictment is bogus.
Re: 50 - best post of the thread. I doubt it will register with most posters.
If the president says a document is declassified, it is. Trump is no longer president. If there is no evidence he declassified the documents as president, it becomes a question of credibility- does the jury believe Trump declassified the documents based on only his word? First, this would require Trump to testify (always a risky strategy, as it opens him up to a lot of other questions), and then would require the jury to believe him. The point I am making is that by not documenting it, he leaves himself at the mercy of a possibly hostile jury.
Classified documents can be marked “SECRET” or “CONFIDENTIAL”. There is no such classification called “a secret” and “like highly confidential” .
You are being absurd.
He didn’t delete them. Read the entire indictment, the full quotes are there in context. Sperry is ventilating about one spot in the indictment while ignoring the rest.
He didn’t alter them. They are in the indictment for anyone to read. In one specific paragraph he used a portion of the quote, but the entire quotes are used elsewhere in the indictment.
Those words are in the indictment. In fact the entire quotes are listed, in context. The fact that he used a portion of one quote in one specific location while using the entire quote elsewhere in the indictment undercuts your argument that he lied by omission. No one has presented any evidence that Smith did not present the entire tape or transcript to the grand jury. As I have said before, if all he gave them were snippets and out of context quotes in order to get the charge, Trump should be able to get it dismissed.
Took Trumps words out of context?! Gee! When has that ever happened before?!?

Are you insinuating A.O.C. is a Valley Girl?
ha ha. Yeah maybe not.
That should get someone either disbarred or arrested for obstruction of justice.
“Sperry is ventilating about one spot in the indictment while ignoring the rest.”
“one spot”??? One spot that is a dishonest, deceptive rendition of what Trump said?
Can you be serious?

+1
You are clearly trying to make a crime sound like something innocent.
Take single quotes out of context is just as bad, even if you include the entire quote late.
And the article says they ALTERED the content.
You’re no conservative
It was not a dishonest rendition of what Trump said. Read the whole thing. Trump said the material was highly classified and secret, as well as calling it “a secret”. He didn’t say it was “ like highly classified”, meaning similar to but not highly classified, he said it was “like, highly classified”. Using the word “like” in that manner is an annoying type of verbal pause used by people, similar to “umm”, “so”, “well”, “you know”, etc. Sperry is actually being dishonest in his tweet and getting the hopes of the Trump supporters up over nothing.
The article claimed they altered the content - that doesn’t make it true. No crime was committed by the prosecution in regard to this specific allegation - I can’t speak to any other crimes they may have committed in this case.
“He didn’t say it was “ like highly classified”, meaning similar to but not highly classified, he said it was “like, highly classified”. Using the word “like” in that manner is an annoying type of verbal pause used by people, similar to “umm”, “so”, “well”, “you know”, etc.”
And you know this how? Were you there? And since you were evidently there in on the discussion, and knowing Trump’s inner thoughts, did Trump show the document to anyone? Was Trump maybe bluffing when he said that (he is a salesman); it would appear that he was surprised to just pull it out.
