Trump Records Negotiator: Former President in ‘Bureaucratic Battle’ Over Classified Documents
Former White House official Kash Patel on Sunday revealed former President Donald Trump has been involved in a battle with the federal government to declassify documents before last week’s FBI raid.
Patel, who was a top official in the Department of Defense, said Trump declassified numerous documents.
“President Trump made me his representative a month ago, and we’ve been in a bureaucratic battle,” he told Fox News on Sunday morning. “We found whole sets of documents we got out to the American public … about 60 percent.”
Patel, who hosts “Kash’s Corner” for Epoch TV, added that Trump “made it his mission to declassify and be transparent.”
“In October 2020, he issued a sweeping declassification order for every single Russiagate document and every single [former Secretary of State] Hillary Clinton document,” Patel said, adding that “whole sets of documents” were declassified under his watch.
“And this is a key fact … President Trump, as a sitting president, is a unilateral authority for declassification,” he continued. “He can literally stand over a set of documents and say ‘these are now declassified,’ and that is done with definitive action immediately.”
Patel further noted that due to the Department of Justice’s latest actions and the FBI’s ongoing investigation, Americans “will never be allowed to see the Russiagate docs or any other docs that President Trump lawfully declassified, and they will hide it from the public.”
Other Details
Late last week, a U.S. magistrate judge ordered the release of the FBI warrant and property record used to raid Trump’s Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. The documents showed the FBI seized alleged classified documents and said the former president may be under investigation for possibly violating the 1917 Espionage Act and obstruction of justice, although neither the Justice Department nor FBI have released the affidavit in the case.
In late 2020, Trump issued a declassification memo that referred to materials connected to the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation, which has been the subject of intense controversy and scrutiny. Republicans and Trump have long asserted the investigation used fabricated information and anonymous leaks to the press to denigrate the former president.
“I hereby declassify the remaining materials in the binder. This is my final determination under the declassification review and I have directed the Attorney General to implement the redactions proposed in the FBI’s January 17 submission and return to the White House an appropriately redacted copy,” then-President Trump wrote on Dec. 30, 2020, or just three weeks before Joe Biden was sworn in as president.
After the warrant and property receipt were unsealed, Trump posted to his Truth Social page that the materials the FBI allegedly took were “all declassified.”
“They didn’t need to ‘seize’ anything. They could have had it anytime they wanted without playing politics and breaking into Mar-a-Lago. It was in secured storage, with an additional lock put on as per their request,” he wrote on the website on Aug. 12.
On Sunday, the former president wrote that among other items that were taken by agents, attorney-client material and executive privileged material were removed from Mar-a-Lago.
“By copy of this TRUTH, I respectfully request that these documents be immediately returned to the location from which they were taken. Thank you!” Trump wrote.
The real reason that the feds attacked Mar-a-Largo is to keep and hide the documents that Trump declassified. The entire RussiaGate story in documented in those files. They could even include all the facts about Hillary Clinton’s crimes splilled in her emails. And more.
The events unfolding in the last 6 years reveal not the fight for democracy but the weakness of it. The biggest misapprehension of democracy is that the voting booth is the people’s instrument of change over their would-be rulers when quite the reverse is true. We could call the whole experience “Socrates’ revenge” since he was killed for his antagonism to democracy. Our suspicions should have been excited when failed totalitarian Mikhail Gorbachev first began to advocate for democracy just after his ignominious rule began to crumble like the Berlin Wall. He wasn’t advocating for freedom, or for the rights of man, or any other such enlightenment principle but for the nebulous idea of the plebiscite. It was Alexis de Tocqueville who reminded us that democracy could be the worst tyranny of all because it required no pretense of underlying moral principles while a king had to at least pretend to be favored by God and thus pay begrudging homage to his precepts. We never considered, or have long forgotten, that the quality of a civilization is not predicated upon the number of things you can vote on but the dearth thereof. The totalitarians smile as I say this since they consider obviating the vote absolutely essential to their despotic ends. And our friend and genius Mr. Hobbs would say that it’s the struggle for power, including it’s unhelpful diffusion into bicameralism, or other forms of government, that leads to malevolence and that run counter towards the betterment of mankind. But on other end of that spectrum would be voluntarism, which comes at the despots’ expense. The beginning of that form of government, which really would fulfill the definition of “self rule” is to finally admit that taxation is theft and thus sever, once and for all, the unholy bonds between sociopathy and human evolution. Until then, the fight over human flesh, and the enslavement thereof, will continue. We thank our brilliant forefathers for letting us out of our cage but it’s now time to cut the leash of taxation. It’s time for mankind to get up on its hind legs and walk. It’s time to be free.
