and saying that he was able to declassify whatever he wants. joyce, put that make sense of that for us? explain that to us. well, i d love to make sense of it, katy, but it doesn t make much in the way of sense. it is a shocker that the former president would try to distract from his own problems but invoking barack obama who by all accounts including this official one complied fully with the presidential records act. when it comes to these new suggestions that trump could have declassified these documents on his way out the door, this rings a little bit too good to be true. and certainly the president has declassification authority, he can do it with far less need to dot the i s and cross the t s than someone else could. but if for instance i had walked out of my office with tss, ci information which we re being told what was recovered in the execution of this search warrant, it is clear that if i had refused to turn it over or tried to keep it hidden saver a request was
