Neal is unlike the majority of public servants. Usually they speak in such convoluted double-speak which is their lifelong training that what they say comes across as just gobbldegook. But not Neal Katyal. He speaks frankly and clearly and in language we can all clearly understand. He's a terrific find for this situation, where the wheels of justice are grinding slowly and very finely.

Katie, bravo. I am proud of you. Your interview probably is the most needed common sense discussion of this situation. Your interview of Neal Katyal is the clearest explication of what it means for Trump. Whether Trump removed classified materials to hide incriminating material or use the information to make money from the material, the fact that such materials are in his possession illegally over a year he has left office should be sufficient to indict the man. Wise.

[@slister45]

Yes indeed! But some are arguing that Trump is allowed to declassify any documents in his possession, or at least he can say that he already declassified the documents that the FBI seized.

Really, current presidents shouldn't have the authority to declassify information either. The classification authority goes thru great pains to ensure the classification is accurate.
