The former U.S. attorney said Saturday that the statutes listed on the FBI's search warrant have nothing to do with classification status.

reported Thursday that records related to nuclear weapons were sought by the federal agents, but Trump has described that reporting as a"hoax."

"This defense will fail because the three laws that they selected to put on the search warrant don't require that the documents be classified," McQuade said to guest host Cori Coffin."I think until we saw that unsealed search warrant on Friday, we expected that they would charge the statute that was used for General David Petraeus and [formeradviser] Sandy Berger, which does require the mishandling of classified information.

McQuade added that"none of those [laws] require classification or declassification," and said that such a defense"will fail." She also said how Trump, his team, and his supporters have shifted to numerous different defenses amid the document controversy, and said that the justifications will continue to change.

There is nothing normal about a president taking top-secret documents from the White House. This is not furniture. These are our nation’s most sensitive secrets.

BS.

Hey! got a headline correct!! 🎉

They don’t. openargs explained it perfectly in their Saturday, 8/13 drop.

I’m guessing that Trump lawyers Evan Corcoran and Christina Bobb are really regretting that day they skipped class when the professors covered “classified by statute”

Doesn’t really matter whether they were declassified or not, the fact he had those nuclear documents at his house, especially after his term, is a humongous illegal breach of national security.

Did the FBI AGENTS SNIFF Melania's UNDERWEAR like their boss BBB BIG BASTARD BIDEN SNIFFS WOMENS HAIR?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah except they knew it was there. They've been there to see it. They told Trump to lock it away and he did. Anything they've asked for he's given them.

Yeah okay

Oh look, another 'expert' Newsweek fell for this one too. YouShouldBeEmbarrassed
