Donald Trump claimed he could declassify secret national security documents with his mind

“Donald has the right to remain silent”: Experts say Trump’s bonkers Fox interview could be evidence

Legal experts on Wednesday rejected former President Donald Trump's claim that he could declassify secret national security documents with his mind.

Trump in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity made a series of claims entirely untethered from reality while defending himself amid an FBI criminal investigation into classified documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago residence.

Trump suggested that last month's FBI search of the property may have actually been in search of Hillary Clinton's deleted emails.

"There's also a lot of speculation, because of what they did, the severity of the FBI coming in, raiding Mar-a-Lago, were they looking for the Hillary Clinton emails that were deleted — but they are around someplace," Trump said.

1. I didn't do it.
2. Even if I did, it wouldn't be bad.
3. I did it, but it wasn't bad (see #2).

What perplexes me about this whole thing is the self-inflicted nature of the hot water he is in. He gets away with sexual harassment on the way to the White House, gets away with political extortion in Impeachment 1, sedition in Impeachment 2 and is sitting there with one day left on the job. The only trouble he can get into is taking government documents, so he does exactly that. We haven't even got to why he did it yet, this movie is in the intro before the opening credits.
