Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe argued that it is "virtually impossible" to prosecute his onetime boss, former President Donald Trump, for alleged mishandling of classified material.
While chiding the FBI for "acting as the muscle" of the Democrats, the Trump-era spy chief hearkened back to Hillary Clinton's email situation and surmised that Trump possessed the "ultimate declassification authority," shielding him from liability.
"I thought, surely this is not about classified documents and the president being in possession of those. It has to be more than that because the Department of Justice and the FBI have already set a standard that makes it virtually impossible to prosecute a case like that," Ratcliffe told Fox Business's Larry Kudlow, who is another former Trump administration official.
Although no president has ever been prosecuted for mishandling classified material, some experts dispute the notion that one could suddenly deem something declassified and argue that the president must instead follow a formal process.
“I’ve seen thousands of declassified documents. They’re all marked ‘declassified’ with the date they were declassified,” Richard Immerman, assistant deputy director of national intelligence in the Obama administration, told NBC News.

Just because it’s impossible doesn’t mean it won’t happen. SHeesh!
Really? You've seen all the documents that cankles had on her email server? Every one? You looked at every document Bojangles and valjar took to his alt-oval office D.C. lair?
Who’s the snitch?
Oh, I am sure that Garland will indict Trump, there is too much out on the table already for him to back down, and a irresistable Lefty Marxist need to discredit Trump during the run up to 2024 presidential election.
No way Trump will ever be convicted.
And an indictment is not enough in and of itself to bar President Trump from running either.
This is all so much campaign hooplah and fabricated crimes that do not exist, just like the last 5 attempts to expel President Trump based on fabricated evidence. The RINOs are now paying big time in the primnaries due to their TDR.Liz Cheny is about to go down.And so now the lefty reimaginers of America have to move before America understands that TRUMP is yet again winning already.
What the left has done with the raid in Mar-a-Lago is guaranteed the re-election of Donald Trump. And what’s more they know it now.
So President Trump’s life is in danger.Thats all they can do now to stop him from winning in 2024.
May Divine Providence protect the life and family of President Donald J. Trump!
It should be easy to prove which side is correct.
Document handling by the President is not subject to Congressional legislation.
As far as I know, all document policy is created by Executive Orders.
Executive Orders cannot create criminal statutes or create fines or prison sentences for sitting or former Presidents.
The vindictive three Merrill Garland, Ron Klain and Marc Elias who made a Florida Judge Bruce E. Reinhardt an offer he couldn’t refuse. When you’re running the Gestapo on the Potomac you can make a lot of things happen that shouldn’t be happening. Schmucks are us
“Who’s the snitch?”
Who says there is one.
My money’s on that is just part of the big lie.
Think about it......without the “somebody told us” there is no grounds for the raid.
It’s no different than liberal media’s “unnamed sources”.
“Who’s the snitch?”
Who says there is one.
My money’s on that is just part of the big lie.”
Add the Nuclear Bullsh!t too....
What was the trigger? Or what was the deviation? The 2022 primaries Trump had 170 wins and 11 losses. He ran the table in Arizona. That in my mind was the trigger. They had to put the brakes on his momentum. They had this cooking in the background for months. Marc Elias came out and bragged on Monday when he said he knew what they were going to find. And Shazam on Friday that’s what it was. Cause Donald has the momentum . Effect gestapo raid on Mara Lago!
Let’s see the affidavit.

A little backgrounder on this feeder at the federal trough reveals he's a cretin of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation. That's all I need to know.
The crux of this is...I believe....(from doing a little research) that any documents found that refer to any another case (against Trump) may be used in that case.
So how many cases are there right now....4 or 5 I think...and certainly we're including Jan 6th.
Why were the "takings" specific to Stone?? and to the President of France??
If I was the FBI I would go for the weak link. That is Kushner. He is a Dem . His father went to prison. He will roll if enough pressure put on him..and I think that is what has happened.
There was no snitch. They knew what was there...and even asked for a second lock on an area with documents. They have to tell me why they didn’t take them...because I see that as “absolute permission” for Trump to hold unto them.
