Not sure is this is in another diary, but I find it interesting and karmic.
tRump signed PUBL118.PS into law in 2018. Part of the law is about “removal and retention of classified documents.” Do ya think he knew what he was signing?
The law changed the penalty from one year to five years.
SEC. 202. INCREASED PENALTY FOR UNAUTHORIZED REMOVAL AND RETENTION OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS OR MATERIAL.Section 1924(a) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by striking ‘‘one year’’ and inserting ‘‘five years’’.
There may be more in this publication but this is what jumped out to me. (First posted on Huffpost.)
Unauthorized may be the issue. As the exiting POTUS it’s assumed he did not have the authority to remove ALL those documents. Right?
