Honest discussion?

Is that like posting an inflammatory thread title but then admitting you don’t actually understand what you are listening to and hoping for somebody else to explain it?

Because I’ve been asking since page 2 for somebody to post a single citation from the unredacted documents this thread is about showing how the “WH created the Mar A Lago crime”. And nobody has been able to do it.

Maybe you should try inpeaching the president before charging him with "crimes" that only a president could commit.

Is your contention that former presidents maintain the same access to classified information they had while holding office?

I don’t think you are wrong, though I’ve never had a Q clearance, so I don’t know if there is anything especially unique.

I read the document as confirming that Presidents have the clearance while in office, and they cease to keep it when they leave office. The document was offered as a rebuttal to the claim that he still had the clearance, years after he left office.

What's your evidence that your claims are correct?

I'm pretty sure you're framing the question wrong, former presidents do not retain any kind of formal security clearance after they leave office.  They never had a formal security clearance to retain.  The only thing that may happen is that the current president has the ability to authorize them being shown specific classified information for whatever purpose he chooses.  That just comes from his authority to do anything he wants with classified information.  It has nothing to do with the fact that a person was a former president.

Maybe you missed it, but we already did about 20 pages on this question with him in another thread. I don't think there's any point in doing another 20 pages with him again, as he obviously has not budged one inch from his position.

Former presidents traditionally have been granted access to classified information generated during their presidency, after a request to the current executive branch.  Thats generally it.

No, it doesn't.  That's just the point.

You think you have a document in writing from a bureaucracy that did not exist when the Constitution was created.

The president is Commander in Chief and by virtue of the office, they have access.



Article. II.
Section. 1.

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows

-------------

Then we have

Article. II.
Section. 2.

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.



Yes, presidents have access to everything while in office, purely due to the office they hold.

I suppose we'll just have to throw out all traditions and shoot presidents in the head, or hold them in an iron mask at papillon as soon as the leave the successor's nomination.

Otherwise, it seems like a whole lot of traditional stuff and things have been thrown out to get the orange man.

I think they retain access to those files that they have been read into and have a legitimate need to access,  think litigation or inquiries. Now future information may not be shared if it's outside the scope of certain briefings,  think we was in bum fuck Egypt and at war when the president changed lanes. Now 5 years later he's not getting current situation reports  from the top.

But if there is a hearing and he needs to brush up on his notes, the option exists.

Don't plan on reading it thanks.

But here's some real talk.  In almost every case, delay favors the defense.   So, who cares I guess?  

Any dumbass can pass the bar, I'm living proof of that.  But to pretend the Rolling Stone is offering some deep insight onto the Trump team is silly.  

Delay favoring the defense is a standard observation.

I try and read everything... I hardly suggested this was some deep insight and, as you say, merely commenting on the fact that the defense team was considering the delay a victory was a pretty standard observation.  

question: Do you believe the scotus will hold that the precedent that the chief executive enjoys absolute civil immunity for all official acts committed within the “outer perimeter” of his office, extends to criminal acts?

Lol we already what round and round on this for 20 pages in another thread, I'm not going to bother getting back into it. I'll just say that a federal appeals panel already rejected the concept and didn't even consider it worthy of discussion.

But for what it's worth I'm not aware of any claim that he ever even made a verbal order regarding this question.  He's never even claimed himself that it happened, much less found anybody willing to testify to it.



All of this is a provable lie in the unredacted indictment that has been released with the last twenty-four hours.

Then provide a quote, lots of people claiming the unredacted documents prove all sorts of things but not one single excerpt or quote is posted anywhere by anyone making these claims

I find this document strange. Presidents don't hold clearances by virtue of their election to office. As elected officials, how would you have an unelected bureaucrat deciding access over the top elected official, least of all the CICAF. Many in the WH hold an SSB with a Yankee White clearance. NSC also.

Where am I going wrong?  I get you probably don't want a president to have the NOC list, but with the PDB, an "Agency" is going to withhold information of national security based on a clearance, because that's the exact situation they could be put in.

I don’t think you are wrong, though I’ve never had a Q clearance, so I don’t know if there is anything especially unique.

I read the document as confirming that Presidents have the clearance while in office, and they cease to keep it when they leave office. The document was offered as a rebuttal to the claim that he still had the clearance, years after he left office.

Who “granted “ the President his Q clearance?

Hint:  not DoE


DoE is the only classification authority established by legislation and this the president does not supercede it, that's why the DoE issues a Q clearance, that's why DoE has to grant one to the president. It's the ONE access program the president isn't the originating classifying authority.
