It’s petty bureaucracy at its finest, government simpletons not following a president’s orders to have them marked ‘declassified.’ The president has unilateral authority to declassify documents — anything in government. He exercised it here in full,” he said.

“[For] NBC to make a leap to say, ‘Well that means he released classified information,’ is completely false,” Patel said.

Patel called the story “disinformation.”

Fake news about Trump? Wow, now that's a first.

Aren't these justices held to an oath of office? How could any of them be involved (even indirectly) with the leak and still sit in review of the abortion issue?

Whichever justice was even remotely associated with the leak needs to recuse him/herself on ANY further review or opinion of that issue

Kash Patel, a former top Trump administration official, told Breitbart News on Wednesday that a report claiming classified materials were found at Mar-a-Lago is misleading and that the documents were actually already declassified by then-President Donald Trump, but the classification markings had not been updated.

It is difficult to update a document like that because every page is marked and would have to be changed page by page.

Between the DOD and NASA, I read a lot of both classified and declassified documents over the years and I don’t think I ever saw a declassified one stamped that way.

They usually just had a note clipped to it that said it had been declassified on such and such a date, and by whom.

And anyway, doesn’t the President have the ultimate authority to classify and declassify ANY document he wants?
