@IMHO1969 If it’s not nuclear related information, then a current President may declassify documents, but not a former President. There is a process of declassification because, for example, if docs are going to reveal U.S. spies, then steps first need to be taken to protect our people. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Why does the U.S. require a process for a President to declassify documents? Because if that person is going to do something as insane as declassify current documents on U.S. human intelligence sources, then our agencies need to take steps to protect Americans from being killed. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@rehmann_l I’m not jumping to any conclusions. I’m simply repeating what MAGA Republicans are saying. They’re saying all the highly classified documents that Trump took are now somehow magically declassified. Which means you can read them, and so can your neighbor and the Russians. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Your reminder that MAGA Republicans argue our nation’s most closely guarded secrets should be declassified and on the front pages of the Washington Post. Even if those documents could cause massive harm to U.S. national security and get Americans killed. Just to protect Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats are expanding our lead in the polls. We can hold the House. You can help by donating to my leadership PAC which supports federal candidates. You’ll also get a super cool water bottle that I designed. Donate here: https://t.co/GXJzMCYQ1p #mondaymotivation — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Why are Democrats ahead in multiple generic congressional ballots? Because Dems put #PeopleOverPolitics and are focused on lower costs, better-paying jobs and safer communities. What are MAGA Republicans focused on? Ending Social Security as we know it. #sundayvibes — PolitiTweet.org

@mommysnewsskirt The post was about making highly classified documents that would put US personnel at risk available to the general public just because MAGA folks want to protect Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@MagBruin The Affadavit that described the documents was filed under penalty of perjury. That is not fake news. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Any MAGA Republican who argues that highly sensitive, U.S. national security human intelligence sources documents should be declassified and publicly available in order to protect Trump from prosecution, is making a traitorous argument. There’s really no other way to say it. — PolitiTweet.org

@MichaelKrause6 @MickMulvaney False — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@thebarrysage @MickMulvaney The Inspector General found that the emails were not properly marked as classified and Hillary did not know they were classified. That is different from Trump intentionally taking documents he knew were classified. — PolitiTweet.org

@MagBruin @MickMulvaney Thank you for following me. I don’t expect Mick to answer me because he won’t be able to come up with a good response. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

MAGA Republicans argue that highly classified documents Trump took to Mar-a-Lago about human intelligence sources should be declassified and available to the general public (and as a result also available to adversaries like Iran and Russia). That is cultish, traitorous behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@Sintamyr @MickMulvaney There is no way Trump followed the declassification process. There’s no evidence of it. And even if he did follow the process, then he is a traitor because he would be making our nation’s most sensitive secrets available to you, your neighbor, the media and the Russians. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @MickMulvaney: A federal employee went to prison earlier this year for taking classified SECRET “documents” to her hotel room. Yep, it was just about documents and she went to prison. https://t.co/QejLO2DOLY Our nation takes classified information seriously. Why don’t you? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@troypallotto Actually, from the Affidavit we do have some idea of what he had. And it’s chilling. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

I think the below may be true. MAGA Republicans are definitely fine right now with the highly classified documents that Donald Trump took appearing in Vanity Fair to show that Trump had magically gone back in time and declassified them. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@Majesticeagle20 @GOP So you’re okay with highly classified documents that would put US intelligence officials who are overseas at risk appearing on the front pages of The NY Times? Just so you can protect Trump? Ridiculous. Also you don’t declassify documents by taking it with you. There’s a process. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@mommysnewsskirt @GOP I never made that argument. The Inspector General found that emails on Hillary’s server did not have the proper classification markings and she did not know they were classified. That’s a very different situation from Trump intentionally taking documents he knew were classified. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

There is no classification known as “only former Presidents can see them.” The @GOP argument that Trump can access highly classified documents described by the #Affidavit means that so can your dentist and the media and America’s enemies. That’s a ridiculous, treasonous argument. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The MAGA Republican argument is that all U.S. national security documents described in the #Affidavit were magically declassified. That means not only can Trump see them, but also your neighbor. And the Iranians. And the Russians. That’s a traitorous argument being made by @GOP. — PolitiTweet.org
