How the Declassification Process Works | WSJ
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 май 2024
- At the heart of the FBI’s investigation into former President Donald Trump is the handling of government documents - including classified documents.
When the FBI searched his Mar-a-Lago home in August, they found numerous top secret materials. Some were labeled as sensitive information, which means they are supposed to only be viewed and stored in very secure facilities.
Trump argues he declassified the material while he was President, but there’s no written record of it. If the President declassifies something - but doesn’t document it - is it really classified?
WSJ explains the government’s classification and declassification process and what authority the President has - and doesn’t have.

Declassification is a dumb talking point to distract from the fact that those documents weren't his to keep in his basement.
And office and cupboards where they found empty folders

“In my administration, I’m going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law.” - Trump August 18, 2016
The president himself can declassify certain documents. The president has that power and privilege. Funny, the public has no clue what these documents are, but they are claiming they cannot be declassified. How do you folks know it’s not a log of the president moving from one room to another, or a log of phone calls making tee times? People have no clue whatsoever, but they are making stuff up or listening to the media, which has a 100% rate of being incorrect about trump. You going to listen to an entirely that has a major track record of being incorrect? If you’re that gullible, do you want to buy a bridge in NYC I have for sale? Really good deal!

The Chump declassify nonsense is his typical serial lying BS. Chump was long gone from office and had zero authority over anything by the time he lied and made up the declassify nonsense.
Well we aren't in his administration anymore so it doesn't actually matter, by this standard hes not a hypocrite

Omg! Those things.. if you dont bring a snack while doing them.
Trump probably thought those documents with yellow rectangle borders were owned by National Geographic.
I'm pretty sure it's just a ploy by obiden to keep President Trump from running again so they can continue to steal our money with all of the scams they put in bills.
He's not that stupid and actually cares about our country obiden is the criminal not Trump
That's hilarious 😂
It is moot. The Documents belong to the National Archive. De- or not Classified. Period.

@@bigbrotherisasob The documents belong to the original classifiers (US military, CIA, FBI and so on), presidential records generated between Jan 20 2017 to Jan 20 2021 go to the National Archives per PRA, only Trump's personal files (personal letters, communications with his personal lawyers, (not white house lawyers), family go with trump)
For most of what was recovered in the search, Top Secret & TS-SCI documents, the answer is no. For the rest, yes, provided the legal procedures are followed, which don't appear so.
He knows he is toast. That is why he is attacking his accusers. That is what he has always done, even before entering politics.
the President is the apex of classification. The entire classification system exists with the president at the very tip of the pyramid. All intelligence agencies exist to provide the President with information in the PDB. The President can snap his fingers and declassify any document he wants for any reason they want and no one has to sign off on it because no one is above the President. If Biden wanted to declassify all Area 51 documents there is no general or no group of people form the FBI, CIA, DNI, NSA or whatever agency that can stop him.
@jim Majority of conservatives are immune to reality, majority of Americans are thankfully not.

Literally does not matter if any of the documents were classified or not, that's besides the point. They were not his to take. He broke several laws by doing so, that is a fact. He is not above the law. If I had taken any classified material home with me during my time in the Navy I would've been arrested, thrown in the brig, and charged accordingly. If we are truly a nation of laws, then he must be held to the same standard.
Powerful people are above the law. George Bush and Obama were war criminals by Illegally torturing and killing people. Obama also lied under oath about surveillance programs. Hillary burnt documents that were intially unclassified according to Comey and then Comey was stood down since the state department said they were classified. My point is is that they're all above the law. People just believe they're not despite history repeating itself over and over
Executive privilege. He took them, and in the end, nothing can or will happen, because of Execuitve Privilege. You hate trump, so you’ll certainly disagree with me, but if this had been Obama, and I was saying he couldn’t take those documents, you would argue executive privilege. Just watch, nothing will come from this. If anything, I think trump took them, because he knew exactly what democrats would do, and trump can play victim on his campaign. Trump is always baiting the democrats, and they fall for it. He always beats them at their own games. Always. Mark my words, this will fizzle out, and democrats will merely accuse trump of some other crimes. This has been going on for 6 years. The way I see it, is the establishment are abusing their powers to attempt to remove political opposition. That’s actually set a horrible prescient for our country, it will create chaos (possible civil war), and inevitably it will lead to overthrowing our government.
What if he didn't know what classified means
You know like when you had no problem when Hillary did it
Except she destroyed them to avoid prosecution
Idiot
Jason you are why America is on fire. Go study and learn. Alll Presidents have the right to take their documents. Let’s look at Obammy and Bull Clinton. Go read you willfully ignorant fool

Where is the paperwork of Trump declassifying the government's classified documents? Why didn't Trump "just comply" like he expects US citizens to do?
Was biden potus when he brought hundreds of boxes of docs home? I gu
Edit: it's not like they're gonna give us the actual answer on Trump or biden either way, for, reasons
They don't need to file paperwork to declassify documents. It's an informal process that requires zero consultation with any other entity and requires zero paperwork.

About sums it up.
"I just have to think about de-classifying those documents, there for, they are de-classified" trump, talking to Hannity on Fox last night.
There's a human or a group of humans connected to the other end of these documents. For one person to unilaterally deem these documents as "unclassified" is dangerous and shows disregard for what it truly may be at stake.
It’s also entirely false. He didn’t declassify them
Ok smarty, what are the contents of the documents specifically? How does classification of documents work? What is protocol? Are all documents considered classified until the president declassified them? Some of these documents could be very meaningless stuff that are automatically classified as secret. I believe the content is going to eventually come out, and it’s going to be nothing really important. Will people that jumped up and down pointing finger at trump apologize for jumping the gun, or will they be good little minions and focus on the next shiny object the media dangles in front of them. The media and democrats have been 100% wrong about trump, as every allegation has fallen flat, yet the minions that support the establishment keep believing the media. That is basically just how ignorant some people are in this country. They will believe anything they hear and become outraged over it, and when it pans out to be nothing, they will forget it, and move on to the next fairytale.

Thanks for that explainer.
It would be nice if you also indicate the care and custody protocol for the handling of the documents
you mean what _should have_ happened to all of it?
like, once ALL of them were turned over to NARA - classed or unclassed - deadline of jan 20, 2021?
OR do you mean how classed docs should have been handled prior to that, full stop?
can't wait for the follow up when it's announced no charges will be pressed.
Exactly. Look what happened with Russian Hoax- they made it up and tried to impeach an innocent President. I’m still waiting for all involved to go down!
I thought the question is not "can he?" but "did he (declassified the documents while he was still President and before he brought them to Mar-a-lago)?".
Irrelevant. None of the statutes cited in the warrant make any distinction based on classification.
Since the law only says Government documents and not classified Government documents, Trump having them in his possession became illegal from 1/20/2021 when Trump became a private citizen.
IF he did..there would be a paper trail. I wish everyone would watch this to understand his statement of waving a KFC drumstick and SAYING' they are declassified DOES NOT make them so until ALL procedures are followed. He came out with that BS the day after the search...The reason this new lawyer did not even mention 'his declassification' in the latest answer written to the judge...is that they know it could ne disproven in 5 minutes.

There is no documentation that he declassfied the documents that were at Mar-A-Lago. Hypothetically, even if he did, he can´t just take them without permission from the National Archives according to the 1978 Presidential Records Act.
Any President can declassify any document in any way for any reason they want. There is no form they have to fill out. The President also decides what is personal and what is considered presidential records.
@jim yes
@@SweetSpot909 How would anyone know if something was declassified? Hillary Clinton could claim the documents on her computer were declassified.
@@madhavyu The President is unique in that their power to declassify any document is absolute. Hillary or any other cabinet member does not have that power. All documents are treated and assumed to be at their classification level until someone in informed they're not classified anymore. Any President can literally point to a entire warehouse at Area 51 and say every document in this secret warehouse is now declassified and that's the end of it.
@@SweetSpot909 the video just clearly explained it doesn’t work that way
What? you can't just wave a hand?
So the POTUS says something is declassified this means that he has to do all the work himself? It seems like there would probably be someone else that would do the rest of the work. Like the a construction company owner saying he would build a house... no he has employees that will build the house. Someone just didnt do their job in regards to the declassification order.
Thanks for the breakdown
Im going to share this
What is the position without the person that holds it ????? empty.
when she get to Trump she stops and expresses her opinion as it were law.
also notice they rely on one court case where the judge wrote something.
courts interpret the law not dictate and rewrite laws.
Correct, this video is intentionally misleading. It didn't all of a sudden become a crime for Presidents to declassify documents and move them to a personal storage location. Every past President has done that. But all of the rules and precedents are different now because it's Trump and they hate him.
I know that it doesn't matter but "classification" is spelled incorrectly at 1:50
How the media lies to you. Watch the video
The better question is, what can the people see?
Yes, and can I get some of those declassified documents, and that box of Time Magazines you see at the right side of the picture, and where can I buy that rug?
@@pauljewel6988 Fair.
Corruption in our government and politicians representing our people. Any politicians should go to jail for corruption. Nobody should be above the law. Former President Trump should be charged with the classified documents taken off the white house or archives. Many politicians should go to jail not only former president. Americans make a list. Classified documents shouldn't be hold in any presidential house. Enforce the laws of the land USA.
This is like Mike screaming "I declare bankruptcy"
What a long and precise process. I thought you just think with Jedi mind trucks.
The biggest concern is not why Trump took the secret classified documents but rather what happened to them during their time at Mar-a-Lago and where are the contents of the empty folders? Were they copied by Trump? And/or were they photographed by agents of countries hostile to us?
WSJ, WP, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, FOX all should ask access to the declassified documents list and also for the declassified documents. This will clear things up. Kash Patel, Trump will have to clarify what all is accessible to them. Supreme Court would get involved- and we would know what is real truth and what is alternative truth.
Why did Trump want those documents?
Why did Obama create a museum in Chicago 2021 with over 30,000 classified and unclassified documents?
The Saudis have a few billion reasons why
One theory put out there was to use as bargaining chips in case he was ever found guilty of other crimes.

The 2009 executive order directs the head of the department or agency that originally deemed information classified to oversee declassification reviews, and it sets some standards for them.
The executive branch has regulations laying out the process that should be followed, such as a requirement to make sure that other agencies and departments with an interest in the secret are consulted. There are also procedures for the removal of classification markings on documents.
they shd have done it when he was there... to witness the search.

Both are commonly known as the IC -- the intelligence community-- managed by the NDI, the national director of intelligence, and supervised by the Congressional committee on the intelligence and the WH presidential instructions.... Well, people can ignore the rest of how the complexity in the priority set by the IC chain of command is. How the IC talks among each other at the diff level of classified, for an example how FEMA can get tbe DoD intelligence info or data for its field humanity-reliefs ops, or how military cross-talks to the non-military. Which community is assigned to collect the US domestic intelligence geospatial data without infringement of the Constitutional rights, etc and etc. One thing we all know for sure that no one can be above the laws of the land, except donald trump?!?!! or some abusing top government's people.
Now, FBI is part of the IC but has nothing to do with the classified DoD methodology or vice because of no money for it.
The classified is easy to go up, but not that easy to go down without the IC scrutinized and approved. Even the WH presidential order! For example, Barrack Obama decided to declassify the old priority list of US nuclear targets around the globe... It took more than 12 months to come up with the declassified that could be released to the public and the media. But the declassified did not cover every original thing because the sanitation or scrubbing process was to either change or redact the list by each IC member. The FBI is no god of the IC but follows the NDI instructions and the rules of IC membership.
Trump knows the IC rules. And he knows he is in the losing end, so he comes with his old dog-trick of blamimg somebody behind the murky rules. He only wants to be like Kim J Un for the U.S by keeping his secret talks in doc to his endearing NK friend, mr Un!!
youve nothing but blather. ill quote jason "Literally false. A President can declare anything he wants to be a Personal Record at his own discretion, anything he takes home is presumed to be a Personal Record as decided in the 2012 court decision Judicial Watch vs NARA (Clinton sock drawer tapes). He can also store documents at his own secure facility while they're in the custody of NARA, same as Obama did. You're comparing the President's rights and authorities to classifications and storing documents to a normal citizen or lower level bureaucrat or official, but a President has much more authority under the Constitution which is backed up by case law. Get informed, then comment."
DoD is _not_ the same as IC.
military IS equivalent to the DoD.

This is factually wrong. Do some actual research.
As long as every other politician goes to jail for keeping classified docs, then I agree, but until then trump should be free.
This is a security and safety issue of the United States of America safety!! Whom did Trump sell these documents to??????
Trump appoints judge. Judge goes way outside the norm to accommodate Trump. Looks like quid pro quo.
Everytime someone talks about this guy I want to throw up
lock this clown up

Can Biden forgive student loans? It’s complicated
It is complicated. The criteria for changing payment plans are really vague.
Apparently, all you have to say is "I do Declare"
The Biden Cartel can do whatever they want, pay attention!
@@steveng7174 OH I forgot the millions the Bidens made off of selling the hunter brand laptops, even more money Jarid made selling his cologne called top secret
@@pauljewel6988 Are you that shallow? There are plenty of never Trumper's out here that recognize a criminal when we see one!

What is Tucker Carlson's take on this?
Do you really need to ask?
Et tu, Brute…?
Let me answer that. Can a President declassify Government Documents with a wave of his hand and then be able to give them to whom ever he wants. Think about it
Yes, he can, because he was elected by We The People. It is called…transparency. To have it any other way would subjugate the office of the president beneath the intelligence agencies and military. POTUS is Commander In Chief, with he Highest clearances, Need To Know and ultimate declassification authority. the POTUS (every one of them, including Biden today) can do exactly that.
I don't see how WSJ says it gets 'complicated' when it's obviously just an alibi from Trump.
Going through this issue in detail is sensible. It keeps us from being a state with a sham legal system.
....it also might be the news equivalent of speaking slowly and loudly to someone who's being an idiot.
