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
You might think this is a one-off use of the “documents with classification markings”
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]
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.
