I agree. Donald Trump was rebutting the lies of General Milley, who lied to Bob Woodward, claiming that he had stopped Trump from (wanting to) wage war on Iran when it was actually Trump who stopped Milley from (wanting to) wage war on Iran.

Now, here Milley is, by the admission of the indictment, lacking actual information that he was not entitled to disclose, that he was not entitled to declassify, that he was not entitled to declare his personal records;
that is subject to national security information laws because he is a lesser official subject to those laws. And yet, there has been no indictment, not even an investigation of Milley, and he is still in legal office today with Republicans in Congress doing jack—about it.

By contrast, the President, is vested by the 2nd article of the United States Constitution, with all executive power. That means the President decides any information that comes in is classified for his benefit and his alone. It is only secret for his benefit and his alone. It is only national security information for his benefit and his alone. He can unilaterally declare anything declassified as “Not national security” a personal record anytime he wants. The mere act of taking documents with him, and let’s remember, he’s not taking original source documents, all of those exist because, as it has been pointed out by members of Congress
and a range of places; these are all digital documents, so they are digitally stored.
