Yes, it’s true, according to the information contained in the Jack Smith indictment of President Donald John Trump, The Conservative Treehouse likely holds similar “classified documents” as outlined in the case by the special prosecutor.
Once you understand how, you then understand one of the most overlooked nonsensical aspects to the insufferable DOJ and FBI case that has been pushed in the media for the past year.
The indictment accuses President Trump of withholding documents containing “classified markings,” a very specifically deployed obtuse wording intended to create the implication of something nefarious where nothing nefarious exists. It is entirely possible for a person, any person, especially a person who follows the news, to possess documents containing “classified markings.”
There is a big difference between a classified document and a document containing classified markings. As an example, anyone who has looked at the Carter Page FISA application, made public in July 2018, has reviewed a document containing “classified markings.” When a document is declassified, they do not remove the markings.
You might think this is a one-off use of the “documents with classification markings” lingo, but it’s not. This language is the underpinning of the entire DOJ/FBI framework that predicated the raid on Mar-a-Lago. Specifically, neither NARA nor the DOJ-NSD requested President Trump or his team to return Classified Documents. The DOJ demanded the return of any documents that contained “classified markings.” [SEE BELOW]
Because the verbiage is so intentionally obtuse (ie. Lawfare), a fulsome production in compliance with this DOJ demand would include any newspaper or magazine articles that had a picture of the Carter Page FISA application, or any printed online article that might contain the same or similar elements. There is a big difference between asking for a classified document return, and asking for a return of documents that contain “classified markings.” [Example from CTH, below left]
As a result, it is entirely possible, I would say almost certain, that President Trump -and his legal team- returned every document that contained classified information but may have omitted documents that retained “classified markings”. There’s the spirit of compliance, and the letter of absolute compliance when contrast against a very granular interpretation of the request.
It is obvious from the demand, the DOJ/FBI were casting a wide net on the compliance side, knowing that amid hundreds-of-thousands of presidential documents and records, there would be obscure documents with classified markings that had nothing to do with national security. Thus, the “classified markings” establishes a Lawfare compliance tactic.
It will be interesting to see how this nonsense progresses. It becomes easier to call it nonsense, when you simply accept the approach being used. If the DOJ-NSD, FBI, Special Counsel or NARA were genuinely interested in ‘national security issues’, they would not be playing obtuse word games in order to structure court filings simply for media narrative engineering and propaganda purposes.
Again, all of these insufferable pretending elements simply create more avenues for smart legal minds to highlight to the court. The judges can see through this nonsense, and their action or lack thereof becomes part of showcasing their own agenda. Fortunately Judge Cannon has a very solid background on the Mar-a-Lago documents case. She wouldn’t need to have this stuff pointed out to her; she has already experienced it.
In the interim, for your own conversational points with friends and family, simply draw their attention to the difference between Classified Documents and documents containing “classified markings,” eventually everyone except the rabid orange-man-bad moonbats will figure out the games being played.

ps. My advice would be to hire this guy and let him have fun with it.
Sundance, You have a very wide reach and are probably the number one source for catching the Deep State in their lies; you have to think they are desperate to shut you up.
I am absolutely lost on the days when either I am without internet or this site is otherwise unavailable. Please don’t let them frame you as they have our patriotic President!
Trump is the MAGA King and Sundance Is the MAGA Prince.
Godspeed .
Have they ever been seen in the same room together?!?
Have you and Shifty Schiff for brains ever been in the same room together?
I doubt it because Screwauger would be walking kinda funny if he had been in the same room and he would have this funny looking substance around his lips! 😆
Paging Adrem, clean up on aisle 5
😁
And not with Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne
Hee hee
Sundance:
Smart Intellectual Warrior
-Smart Heart
(For short)
Yes, this is an excellent article, Sundance , you’ve been outdoing yourself lately.
Doesn’t it make you wonder how the Resistance could have operated without any Internet during WWII??
there is LITTLE DOUBTS that the material the DOJ was after was criminal evidence that can used to find MANY PEOPLE VIOLATED A HOST OF CRIMINAL STATUTES.
None of those people have the name President Trump.
this is important to understand, and I will keep hammering it over and over.
PRESIDENT TRUMP DID NOT CREATE THESE DOCUMENTS. The personal notes he created were to record his personal accounts over matters involving CrossFART Hurricane, the carter page (the sanctioned criminal abuse of the FISC to manufacture and to persecute a sitting duly elected president), various military and IC “daily briefings” involving false and dubious and dangerous attempts to influence the PRESIDENT to take military actions, various reports and accounts of joe malarkey and his cocaine whoring child, and a host of other actions that President Trump recorded so they would not be lost to time or scrubbed and replaced by the black hole night police.
The CONTENTS of these materials are evidence of CRIMES..committed by hundreds, possibly thousands of people …who worked actively and with intent to defraud the US consitution, absorbed themselves in conspiracies directly and indirectly to impact elections and to create terror and hysteria and paint false propaganda about the origins and the facts surrounding the SARS-COV-2 bioweapon and the virus enhancing gene therapy, mRNA jabs.
these are NOT the production and creation of President Trump. These are documents he saw first, legally and well within his power constitutionally and more importantly MORALLY AND ETHICALLY to retain. He did this to both protect himself and also to use these documents in his long standing efforts to never allow these criminals a safe haven.
they stormed MAL and stole these material evidence, because they could never allow these materials to see the light of day.
These documents WILL SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY.
They will fail…and they will be punished
severely.
God Bless America
Yes sir!!!
.
Perhaps the ‘secret document’ that the indictment claims President Trump supposedly revealed to ‘unauthorized recipients’ was the whistleblower statement re: the $5 million payment to Bribem — prior to Wray claiming it was a ‘secret document’, several Congresspeople said they had seen the whistleblower’s statement . . .
maybe Appendix A to the Horowitz report?
I can’t wait.
That’s what I’ve been saying the whole time.
The massive lawsuit he filed in March 22 would have used this evidence to not only get a judgment but to expose everything to the public.
that is EXACTLY CORRECT BLACK KNIGHT. We are on the same page and ride.
At every single turn, President Trump AND ANYONE ELSE who attempted to get suits AND ATTENTION SUNLIGHT WRT to a HOST of criminal PEOPLE and the operations of lawless conspiracy committed was shot down by every single court. And no press and no media would allow any of it to be read out.
EXCEPT HERE>>>AT THE LAST REFUGE. BY SUNDANCE…Who stands tall and has committed himself to that most awesome and conspicuous DUTY to simply TELL THE TRUTH.
We are in a very special time and place. This was not an accident, or some random coincidence. People PRAYED and God has responded.
the truth will never be hidden. It will be mocked…it will be assaulted..it will be taunted and persecuted…
but the truth remains…the truth will always be the kryponite to evil and corrupt people.
this is how you know the vampires…forget the garlic…never mind the silver.
just tell the truth…and they literally lose their minds and fall over themselves to stamp it out.
they can try…
we will USE TRUTH TO HULK SMASH THESE EMBECILES.
they only know how to lie…this is their achilles heel.
they have denied all that is good and decent and moral and upstanding.
and that is how we take them down..
all it takes is a little push …and like gravity, the TRUTH sends these people insane.
I spare them no pity. I will celebrate their demise
I will call it flag day
God Bless America
From your keyboard to the good Lord’s ear, and making it so.
Hold……

Do not be afraid.
Also, do not take the enemies bait.
Let them keep assuming that we are but defenseless.

The reporting indicates that a ‘guilty verdict’ could yield a 100 year sentence.
This can be routinely mocked by pragmatic thinkers as ‘overkill’ — near-octogenarians do not live 100 years. What’s the point?
More and more, it appears to me (LIGHT going off in my head) that these cretins are attempting to negotiate their sentences.
To be able to mock the sentencing they laid out for our VSGPDJT we must dare (shine LIGHT to physically see) them to mock our sentencing proposals.
So, here is mine:
1) Everyone working in the government who is sure that they have done nothing wrong may retire with pension accrued and a vow to stay out of the public eye — we don’t care what you think.
2) Those people who know that we know, or could pretty easily find knowledge, that their behavior was detrimental to THEIR (at the time) Commander-In-Chief, may retire with social security benefits only, and a vow to stay out of the public eye — we don’t care that you are forced to live within your means.
3) For those that WILL BE TRIED, your sedition verdicts will be rewarded with a one way ticket to ‘some’ deserted island, where you will fend for yourselves — we don’t care that you will not have any of us to wait on you.
4) For those who are charged and plead ‘Guilty’, a choice between a cyanide pill or the fate of those in option 3 will be their CHOICE — we don’t care what your choice is.
5) For any of the people who claimed the 1) or 2) status who commit some other offense for which they are found ‘Guilty’, they, too, will get that choice afforded in 4) — we don’t care that you really believe you belong to a special group that gets special treatment.
Go ahead and mock the above. Maybe by even claiming there is no LIGHT in my heart to be so ‘hateful’ towards these cretins.
Hmm. I guess they would rather be treated the way they are treating President Trump: a one-hundred -years pox of hell on them.
THE SUPREME COURT OF THE U.S. HAD BETTER FIND THEIR SCONES AGAINST THIS KANGAROO COURT AND POLITICAL HATCHET JOB OF AN OPPOSING POLITICAL CANDIDATE AND EX-PRESIDENT. ( STILL THE REAL PRESIDENT THAT WON THE MOST VOTES EVER ! ). THE SUPREME COURT MUST CORRECT THIS POLITICAL HATCHET JOB OR THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES WILL BECOME THE LAUGHING STOCK OF ALL THE WORLD. THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL OF BANANA REPUBLICS! .
Mary McCord’s husband,
Mr. Snook has control over chief justice Roberts. Supreme Court is compromised by burrowed mafia members.
Sheldon Snook no longer works at the Supreme Court. Hasn’t for a couple of years.
Where is snook? Good news, if he is gone from SCOTUS. Where is he then? We should track Snook down and keep tabs on him. He is dangerous.
so scream that all over the net
I’ll hazard a reckless theory here that Roberts enjoyed more than a few trips to Epstein’s Pedo Island…. and video of his fun is shoved in his face everytime an important issue reaches the SC docket.
And I’ll also suggest that Lindsey Grahm’s is also filmed in compromising positions.
Just my hypothesis.
Still find it hard to believe that Kellyanne Conway was engaged to Miss Lindsey back in the day, huh?
They won’t. They are part of the Swamp
Fear is the all.
Fear the Lord for your salvation is all.
President Trump is being prayed for, i hope were being listened to.
Best Headline Ever!
Isn’t it though? It’s a fabulous troll, pokes them right in the eye!
So you have this and other articles (from other knowledgeable people) and then you have Dershowitz and McCarthy running around warning of the dire legal situation the President is in. I realize Dershowitz and McCarthy make money from Fox News and they’d like to keep doing so. Others (like the host here) want the truth.
The big concern in my mind isn’t the legal intricacies, but rather, the full and complete weaponization of our criminal justice system. It’s not just the cops or the prosecutors, it’s the judges and the courts and the prison system too. The whole shootin’ match is a giant rigged-game controlled by the Filthy Swamp.
If this FL judge busts the government’s nuts, they’ll just get her removed and replaced. Also, the DC system will likely indict Trump on other crap and that court is completely in the back pocket of the Feds. This BS will go on for years and they will keep piling-on. This has to be stopped. There seems to be no penalty for doing this.
11th circuit Clarence Thomas –
J6ers are in jail for years and in solitary…but they did not “comply”…that is the problem.
unbelievable…….
Thank-you SD – you’re the best!
Jury Nullification:
Right now we have no other power against this tyrannical government.

President Trump scheduled to speak at 7PM at the North Carolina Convention. Some Treepers are following on the earlier GA thread.
Shocker! that we were steaming his speech live, when suddenly our TV went black, as in OFF. My PC went OFF and we had to reboot everything. These things only happen when PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP goes live to explain how the cretin deep state screws him and all of us.
SUPER MAGA FOR EVER !
sundance is brilliant and creative but not all of the liberal media are as stupid and myopic as they appear to be. As SD has pointed out “they and many others pretend not to see.”
“In the interim, for your own conversational points with friends and family, simply draw their attention to the difference between Classified Documents and documents containing “classified markings,”
And then, when you have done that, draw their attention to the difference between actual Liberals (someone who believes in liberty) and Fascists, which is what these people (from Joe ‘Sticky Fingers’ Biden to Jack ‘The [Constitution] Ripper’ Smith) actually are.
“eventually everyone except the rabid orange-man-bad moonbats will figure out the games being played.”
Hopefully, you are right, but PT Barnum said “No man ever went broke overestimating the ignorance of the American public. Many people are gullible, and we can expect this to continue.
The common man actually enjoys having the wool pulled over his eyes, and makes it easier for the puller. The bigger the humbug, the better people will like it.”
I was recently “banned” from Powerline by a liberal lawyer who has “plenary” power to ban anyone he thinks violates their rules of posting. One of their authors posted an ACRONYM which violated their policy of decency. I commented on that fact and was summarily banned.
Here we are folks.
When someone writes “Liberal” when they OUGHT to write “leftist” or “fascist” or “communist”… make a note….. that writer is a fake conservative or fake patriot.
Yes, the same thing happened to me. The lawyers CAN say things that WILL get any of the readers banned, that’s just a fact there that you find out the hard way, but it was explained afterward to me.
And that is exactly why we all have documents with classified markings, so we too can experience the pain of being raided by the FBI jackboots at will.
Ladies, hide your panties!
Bongino has advised repeadlty….If or when some FBI/DOJ goons knock on your door….Be nice. But say NOTHING. NOTHING. Or only this: “if you have a search warrant, SIR, please show me. ….. Otherwise, please leave my property.”
That’s about it.
AND of course if possible, film it all with your cell phone.

In a private company,, confidential documents and proprietary information are turned over to HR when an employee goes out the door.
The government agencies who provided the classified documents to Trump would have known that he had them and should normally have required that those be returned when he left office, but being stupid government employees, they did not do this for Trump or Clinton or Bush or anyone.
This means that those agencies which provided the classified documents neglected to ask for the return, so they should not be surprised if any are retained for later recollection.
Therefore, those agencies who created the classified documents need to be prosecuted for negligence!
Sundance has ealier posted the entire fraud of the Archives crowd.
They did not offer to help Trump leave the WH with the many documents he had total authority to do so…(as they had done for multiple prior administrations)….
Every senior member of the NARA should be completely called by the House to explain such “ambiguities”….
“They say “I wanna run against Trump” But they have, like, 5,000 prosecutors attacking me. They really don’t want to run against me.”
He just called out every ankle-biter in the ring, this persecution is on them.
FOR SURE !!!!!
OMG!
I have documents, copied on my phone, that have “classified markings”!
MTG actually highlighted something similar, regarding the Biden whistleblower document Comer has bee fighting over with Wray.
It is NO “Classified” and yet they insisted MTG (and others in Congress) could ONLY view it in a SCIF, and could not take cell phone images of it, and any notes they made, WHILE VIEWING IT IN THE SCIF, had to remain IN the SCIF.
THATS “the rules”. So, as soon as she LEFT THE SCIF, she made notes, and promptly read them aloud to reporters.
She did nothing illegal, as its NOT CLASSIFIED.
These charges are both less and more than a “nothingburger” and the main effect they are and will have, is to backfire bigly.
Yes, they draw all of the msm attention away from Joes woes, and TO PDJT.
However, (lol) that means there is NO, as in -0- “oxygen” left for poor RDS, and almost no one is paying ANY attention to him, Pence, Christie or Noem.
And, the Public who this is aimed at, are seeing this for what it is, seeing how the Republicans are coordinating their campaignd WITH this lame lawfare attack, and PDJT’s support is growing even stronger.
PDJT could hardly be in a STRONGER position going into the 2024 election.
Come on Ga. prosecutor, do YOUR part, and come up with at least 30 Indictments, for a perfect phone call.
So they can SAY “PDJT has OVER 100 Indictments!”
Laugh at these fools, ridicule them, DO NOT waste your energy with anger, and DO NOT “FEEL” despondent, fearful, depressed, as THAT is their whole purpose for this excercise.
That was just a dominance play by Wray. Bubba Comer submitted.
We are ALL classified markings now.
Dubes!!!
None of this matters. The loonies wanted everything when they wanted it and they didn’t get all of it when they wanted so the obstruction charge will stick.
Is that you Jack?
John.
You mean
😹 Jack Schiff Comey ?
The Mar-A-Lago raid was an attempt to retrieve documents which detailed the utter corruption of the FBI and DOJ and FISA court BS. FBI and DOJ and FISA lies. etc….The deep state wanted to know what PDJT knew. And now they do. And they are scared Adam schutless. ALL of the LAWFARE happening is a reaction to this. They are literally holding out at their Alamo.
I hate what they are doing to President Trump, I really do!!
But I love all the mystery, intrigue, and Yes, Romance!! Who can forget Peter and Lisa!! I love reading about all the Heroes,Villains temptresses and Rakes Sundance writes about!!!
Who’s the new character? I don’t know!!
It’s all coming undone Sundance, a real bodice ripper Sundance!!
Trump is my Hero!!
On what basis were Trump’s own attorneys compelled to testify? Crime/fraud exception? I’ve tried to stay informed but have been busy at work.
From a recent PBS article:
Attorney-client privilege traditionally shields lawyers from being forced to share details of their conversations with prosecutors. Corcoran invoked that privilege during an earlier appearance before the grand jury when he declined to answer certain questions.
But prosecutors can get around that if they can convince a judge that a client was using such legal representation in furtherance of a crime — a principle known under the law as the crime-fraud exception.
This is all a political gamble unrelated to law. It’s gotten the media coverage desired to distract from Biden’s bribery scandal but it is amazing how quickly the indictment has been exposed as a sham.
Once again Trump is emerging stronger than before.
Ron Desantis hardest hit.
Your brilliance is, once again, admired!
thanks, elizabeth, I’m not used to such praise

oh – you meant Sundance, I suppose …
LOL I love you .
HAHA too funny
OMG, nim!!!!!
At some point there has to be an oopsy moment when they realize that they have just criminalized all former presidents. 🤦♀️
The Supreme Court had better point out that this is a BILL OF ATTEINDER, AS WELL AS, EX POST FACTO as I have learned from folks here ” Maquis and forgive me I forget the other treeper !. I looked it up and IT IS ABSOLUTELY THOSE TWO THINGS ROLLED INTO ONE !. And the SUPREME COURT better show their deep knowledge of these if they want to continue to have any of their respect left with us American Citizens and the world. They’ve lost great ground already. Hope they can do an about face into INTEGRITY , if they can keep any of it ! ……….
What about Judge Cannon pointing out the bill of attainder issue? And criminaluzing all previous POTUS issue? She is the current judge for this case, not SCOTUS. Can’t she make these kind of rulings? I would imagine she didn’t like being overruled by the DOJ on that special master decision…which was a good and fair decision.
You have to believe the judge will allow the Trump defense team tremendous latitude in putting on a defense given the gravity of the case. What’s to prevent Trumps defense team from taking a month to go through, point by point, the Durham findings, to show how the same people who lied about russian collusion, are lying now. This is absolutely legitimate. The DOJ did it to itself. Just what the Dems want a solid month of the Durham report on TV. Then do another month on all the proven J6 lies (this will also innoculate him against J6 allegations. Then announce you plan to depose Hillary to find out how she avoided prosecution, Backmail? Bribes? How did she do it. The trump team is only trying to uncover the secret sauce on how to avoid prosecution. Now depose old Joe and ask him how he is avoiding prosecution. Trump is entitled to a robust defense. Make. This. Hurt.
Brilliant Anthony. That would be an amazing sh#t show to witness on live TV.
Would the “live tv” owners allow it?
I love the suggestion of Eric Dubelier, Esquire being brought in to have a go at this since he ran circles around the DOJ in the Russian Troll Farm Case against Concrod Unlimited despite having to deal with a biased Judge, a Trump appointee at that, who seemed to favor the Muller Team having during the entire legal proceeding!!! 🤔
This made me burst out laughing so hard I startled my Boston terrier.
Bravo, Sundance. Bravo !
Good idea! He called Lawfare’s bluff in the Concord case!
Not only that….
But you shared those classified documents with all of us.
How many counts of a crime is that?
😁😅🤣
I guess my mother’s desktop will be indicted?
Not sure if she even knows how to unplug it.
General Millie may show up in this drama to lend a DoD / national security aspect.
“Anger toward Gen. Milley may have led Trump to discuss documents, adding to indictment evidence”
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-indictment-documents-mark-milley-mar-a-lago/
Robert Costa, who wrote that article and others before it, included a link to a New Yorker article by Susan Glasser. Click through and listen to the article and hear TDS propaganda according to Millie at its finest. No doubt that Millie would be elated to testify against Trump.
Millie should be court-martialed.
Amen.
He reminds me of Vindman.
LOL! This is the absolute truth of it, isn’t it? I have documents that have on them “classification markings.” OMG!
If the media wasn’t such a praetorian guard bunch of hacks, they’d be mocking Jack Smith.
Like everything the left do and say it is always paying attention to what they say. 50 ex CIA “has all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation” the overall take pushed by the MSM was “this is Russian disinformation”. They know how to twist the language and most people, me included , are thankful to Sundance for bringing this to our attention.
Bravo! Encore, SD!
I’ll tell you what this is Gents. These ADL types are getting their asses handed to them by China and Russia and they’re getting scared. They were always pussies anyways. Don’t think any of them were born with a spine. They’re playing whack a mole with all sorts of adventures. Russia is clearly stomping their asses from a proxy perspective. Soon they may have to go fight themselves….hahahaha. That’s one thing we know they will NEVER happen because they can’t ROFLMAO. They use clever tricks to disguise as intellect. The wizard behind the curtain…..nothing more. 😉
“about those documents …”
Yes!!
LOL
I especially like the commemorative framed photo of PresTrump at upper right
I don’t expect them to show up in court but more probable they bleach bit them so the public can’t see their fraud.
What impact does Obama’s Executive Order (EO) 13526 have on this case other than including the Vice President as a classifying agent?
I don’t see any penalties for violators other than informing the Department Heads.
Could it be part of the reason for accusations on conservative Treehouse is pointing out things about DeSantis?
I can’t imagine the judiciary being OK with these word-games nonsense. I see this as more proof they are wanting to dirty Up Trump in the campaign and also distract from the Biden Bribery Bonanza.
My toilet paper used today may have had classified markings??

Speaking of having classified documents –
Sharyl Attkisson just posted on her Facebook page this comment:
“That time FBI Director Comey mishandled and took sensitive & classified docs to use against Trump, leaked to media & IG recommended prosecution but DOJ declined to prosecute Comey” – and then she linked to her comment this OIG report!
https://oig.justice.gov/reports/2019/o1902.pdf
Perfect example of “ classification markings” beginning at pg 66.
This OG Report also goes into great detail on exactly what are the classification markings and what they mean.
This whole thing is not about classified documents, it is all about documents with classified marks.
for instance, this message of mine is classified as an e-mail.
Can you say “Get Trump”?
While I am sure most do this, but as aa goal ( old analyst ) I copy these superllitive articles in other sites to assist when I read ignorance in the comments. Get some respectful responses, every round counts. Raven6

As most of you know, the markings of classification are legal requirements to protect the information. It is the information that is classified, not just the document. Thus, having a document with the classified information that is not properly labeled is also a violation or crime, depending on the information. And over time, many things are declassified. So time is an element of legality.
Hillary had a number of documents that contained classified information but lacked proper markings indicating such.
Point is, as Sundance demonstrates, wordsmithing the appearance of guilt is easy to attempt if that’s your goal. And, of course, it is in this case.
There is a certain revelation in these words which
those with peculiar understandings know about
of those that stick their feet in their mouths:
“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.”
It is a spiritual journey, avoiding the booby traps and snares
and clearing the mind fields.
Because Flock Them That’s Why
Working for a DoD contractor years ago, “classified markings” would also include “Confidential”, “Competitive Sensitive”, “Limited”, and formerly Secret documents declassified with the marking <s>Secret</s> (Secret crossed out). Now days I suspect they’d re-run the document on normal paper and not cross out Secret – but back in the day when stuff was typed up on an IBM Selectric, they’d just cross it out. Hell, if we’re going to play deceptive word games, “Unclassified” is a classified marking.
Good point. Any unclassified stored in a safe or scif can have a cover page and stampings of UNCLASSIFIED.
Still the premise of all this is being accepted. The premise is wrong.
Nothing!
Not one single piece of info President Trump had/has is as dangerous as this continued coup.
Forget the prissy BS charges its the utter destruction of government and justice.
It would say “ declassified” with a date and initial.
(disregard my handle for a moment, because he’s guilty, and have to question his choice of storage places in Chinatown when the documents were received as a senator or VP, natch.)
I too have documents with classification markings on them. FOUO (for official use only), UNCLASSIFIED, SECRET NOFORN (crossed out, with a classification marking and a date when it changed.
Watch/read/download any “leak” and you have classification markings.
Great obervation and find here. It so typical and subtle how dRATS use language as a weapon and expect everyone to follow along and agree on their baseline defenition, it moves the basis of the whole conversation.
“It depened on what the meaning is, is.”
Its a game they play and easy to fall for. Something so small, changes the base arguement which is exactly what they want. Assumptions based on what they define them as.
This is an abusers tactic to make the abused feel guilty and the abuser injured.
Ok. I had to pass this Revolver story to SD- https://www.revolver.news/2023/06/top-fbi-official-and-j6-fedsurrection-hatchet-man-objects-to-mar-a-lago-raid-raises-5-key-objections-in-bombshell-letter/- even the dirty tricks department within FBI finds this latest gambit from Jack Smith to be asinine and repugnant.
