Tape recording and the doj saying they can t find a so-called standing order trump was talking about, basically declassifying whatever the heck he was declassifying on his way out of the white house. he is running out of excuses. i mean, on one hand, he is going on fox and self incriminating himself. and then, you have the doj coming out and saying, there is no standing order that he has declassified any documents. yes, it s completely shocking that donald trump has once again lied. i am completely shocked. it s so unlike him. but, yes, i mean, i give the trump narrative of declassifying documents. i mean, they were trophies. he liked to show them off. he liked people to see that he had power. and he liked that they served his arguments, which is what we are seeing now. i think that it s a pretty, you know, we find him in a situation very much of his own making, right? he could have given back these documents at anytime. he has now been indicted twice. we think there will also be, ev
