He has no clue what the word “declassified” even means!
doinkthat
If my wife loved Trump more than she loves me, then I'd divorce her ass so fast her head would spin. George must be living in hell.
pr3viso
He declassified them in a dream, so it's legit.
Chickenbuttholeremover
Trump's a fucking miscolored Warhammer 40k ork.
dfsmitty0711
This has got to be some kind of kink but I don't know what it's called.

Is says MOUNTAINS about this man, that he cares more about them making him look 'messy' than like a traitor to his country.
RICHARDJOKES
The walls are closing in.
PigsCanJump
Wait... isn't the point that they already did Dump Trump? Or is she dumping them first? Is she getting divorced?
covideokilledtheradiostar
What does "you first" even mean in this context? Dump yourself? Wut?

Yes. Go down with the ship.

Hard to decide which one is more batshit crazy, Kelly Anne or Donald
HUGHgReaction
Yeah, well the money they said I robbed from the bank was actually just a withdrawal.
umanmail99365
Those two must have have some great hate sex to be together all these years.
ThankYouForYourTime
It’s almost like he’s been consorting with authoritarian governments and he expected he would get the same results here if he acted the part
Jewdakris
At this point I hope he just releases whatever Putin gave him on everyone to keep them in line. Lady Graham first of course.
kozmo403
Ah yes, the old "I thought they were declassified so they are" trick.

"I declassified them, so Valerie Plame wasn't outted by Robert Novak"... /s

I wasn't speeding officer, I changed the speed limit with my mind, and followed that.
WarpHype
Checks out, citizen. THIS GUY IS GOOD, GUYS. FLASE ALARM.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
That's the perfect excuse if you get pulled over speeding. "Do you know the speed limit here?!" "I forgot" works every time /s
Superchief86
It's like declaring bankruptcy. You just have to say it out loud and it is so.
gambor
He argued that if he thought of them as declassified they were, even if he never communicated to another human being.
yuugian
I didn't say it, i declared it
Badsequence
I do declare I'm getting the vapors!
SirShmoopyofAwesomtown
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Well, he thought it. That counts, right?
masiakasaurus
Which is irrelevant for espionage, since the relevant act doesn't reference whether the material is classified or not
Nobody7713
Declassification also has a full process to go to. The president can start it at will, but they actually have to engage the process.
PeeterGrant
George and Kelly Anne must be having the worlds best sex to keep that marriage going through this. (Sorry if that made you a little sick)
Sixsystems
You just made me vomit in my own mouth

They don't care. The whole thing is a grift and they put on Work Face and say whatever they need to say. Work Face comes off at home.

I think she looks like someone stuck a Barbie head on a large novelty dildo, but I might just watch too much weird porn.

Was really hoping this was the reply
The8obman
I'll never understand how Kellyanne can lick Trump's boots when her husband spends his entire day shitting on Trump on Twitter. SO WEIRD.
ToSisPoS
Playing both sides. Winner gets to pick the restaurant.
Chromentor
I am sure there is either a fetish name for that or a mental illness name.

lostwalllet
Fun fact: he didn’t declassify them, he couldn’t declassify them, because no president can declassify those types of documents.
Domivla
Why not? I thought he could declassify all classified information, if he followed the correct process (which trump obv. Did not) ?
zHurk777
Fun fact: everybody here already knows that. Also, trump is a dildo.
Beefkins
Calling him a dildo would assume he is at least good for something.
jimzakany
Even if he could, he didn't, because they are still classified. He didn't make up that lie until after he was caught with them.
Axianamos
A random idiot that changes every 4 years can just decide to hand our top secret info whenever they want? Makes sense.
Targe0
Even if he did want them to and could do it. He never went through the process of actually declassifying basically anything. As ->
Targe0
If the documents are not amended to say "Declassified" on them then even if they have officially been declassified they are still ->
Targe0
treated as classified till that amendment has been made to each and every page. That is the official stance for handling documents.
mikasaur
Well that's just not true. I hate the guy but let's stick to facts.
88wut
It’s not part of presidential powers to do that.

Declassification is a lengthy process that requires oversight from multiple people. No one person can do it, not even the president.
pfshfine
Ok, you're actually both right. POTUS can order anything declassified, but then it has to go through that process before it actually is.
Orangeracecar
Again, not all documents can be declassified.
Bhargo
that is a fact, the president cant just decide its declassified, there is a process.
MrSisterFister
It irks me to no end how willing imgurians are to spout fake-facts as long as it fits their narrative. Executive Order 13526 outlines /1
MrSisterFister
everything w.r.t. (de)classification authority and it's very clear that POTUS is the ultimate authority and there is no process they must /2
MrSisterFister
follow in order to declassify something. Merely saying so is sufficient. Having said that, there's no evidence Trump DID declassify these /3
ThePhystopian
But as long as the document still has the classified markers, it's still classified, right?
MrSisterFister
That's a good point, maybe? I was just clarifying that POTUS CAN unilaterally declassify docs w/o a following an established process.
MrSisterFister
and I hope he goes to prison. /4
msd3k
Can you outline the line that states that in the EO? I can't seem to find anything about carte blanch declassification with no overdight or-
AppleJoosh
The Atlantic article shared above does a good job explaining. Like most things in politics, it’s complicated. MrSisterFister is correct.
msd3k
-requisit paper trail, within the wording. But there is a lot to go through, I may have missed it.
MrSisterFister
The section on classification authority defines POTUS as the 1st in line. The section on protocols basically says talk to your supervisor /1
