I did declassify it.
>> Okay, is there a process, what was your process to declassify it?
>> It doesn't have to be a process as I understand it.
There's different people say different things.
But as I understand, it doesn't have to be.
If you're the President of the United States,
you can declassify just by saying it's declassified, even by thinking about it,
because you're sending it to Mar-a-Lago or to wherever you're sending it.
>> You just watched the moment where Trump incriminated himself during his interview
with Sean Hannity.
As many of you all know, Trump is being investigated for taking top secret and
classified documents home with him from the White House to Mar-a-Lago.
And when he had multiple opportunities to hand those documents back
to the federal government, he refused to do so.
So in that interview he said, declassified them before sending them
to Mar-a-Lago or wherever you're sending them.
That's an important line to focus on here,
as Maggie Haberman over at New York Times pointed too.
The focus is understandably on Trump's claim of mental declassifications
from his Hannity interview.
But he appeared to indicate he intentionally sent the documents to
Mar-a-Lago which, and she's right about this, cuts against the,
it was an accident claims.
Okay, >> Yeah.
>> And she also made sure to highlight the part of the transcript that's
relevant here.
If you're the president of the United States, Trump said,
you can declassify just by saying, it's declassified.
Even by thinking about it, because you're sending it to Mar-a-Lago or
to wherever you're sending it.
By the way, where else have you sent those classified documents?
>> A 200%.
All right, so here we go again with Trump's nonsensical excuses.
He's like, well, they might have planted those documents over there.
Hey, I didn't leave him in that mess.
I looked through all of them and left them in much better shape.
You made it look like a mess when you put them on the floor.
Oops, there goes that defensive, they planted it.
You just admitted that you put them there.
Then he said boxes, I've never packed boxes.
I don't know about boxes.
The GSA must have sent those boxes, okay?
And now he's like, now, remember when I sent him over to Mar-a-Lago,
they were already declassified.
Jesus Christ- >> No, it's amazing, it's amazing.
I totally understand why Donald Trump and
Alex Jones have the kind of friendly relationship they have.
They're both the same person, okay?
They're both crazy and they love to incriminate themselves on Live television
or whatever content they're producing.
In the case of Alex Jones, I mean he's facing another trial as we speak and
can't stop saying things about the judge presiding over that trial that keeps
getting him into trouble.
And Trump can't stop himself from incriminating himself while he's in
the process of being investigated, and this is just one of the investigations.
I mean you could find examples in the other investigations that he's facing
as well.
When you're being sued or if you're dealing with the trial,
lawyers urge their clients to shut up.
Don't release any statements, don't talk to the press because the last thing you
wanna do is say something that could be determined as defamatory.
That adds another charge or another issue in a trial.
Or you don't wanna say something that's contradictory,
that contradicts your claims.
But atrump he's above the law, so
he just throws anything out there to see what sticks.
Yeah, so now he's put both his legal team and his allies in a very difficult place.
Because now the legal team already went to court and
the Special master and the appellate judges all asked by the way too.
Two out of the three appellate judges Trump appointed, okay?
And they ruled against him definitively right?
And they come into court, they go okay Trump magically declassified documents.
He might have declassified them through magic.
And they're like, yeah, that's not how courts work.
So forget the evidence for now?
Just did he declassify them or didn't we're not gonna tell you.
That's not a thing in court where you don't tell me this is not a sean Hannity.
And if you were, you can say whatever you want, right?
So you lose, we're moving on, right?
Now, so how about his allies?
Well now, all of the Republican senators are being asked,
can you declassified documents by just thinking about it?
Can't because that would allow Biden to declassify documents by just thinking it.
That would allow Hilary to declassify [INAUDIBLE]
>> If she ever looked at him.
She said no, she wasn't present to be fair-
>> That's right, he did say president,
you're right, you're right.
>> So look and think about that guys.
He took Nixon's line to the next level.
Nixon once got a massive trouble for saying if the president does it,
then it cannot be illegal.
>> That was when America had standards.
Yeah, and then he got thrown out of office.
That's right, cause America had standards.
>> Right, now Trump says, hey Nixon, hold my beer.
Okay, if the president thinks it it cannot be illegal, well Okay.
Well, okay, are we will gonna apply that the Biden, Obama, everybody else?
Of course you can't say, yes.
A sitting United States senator, I mean maybe they'll do it but
they can't say yes you could.
There's magic in the world and there is no process.
Even though we know there's a process and you could just,
only Republican presidents can magically declassify things just by looking at them.
It's not a thing.
One other portion of the interview that I think is worth discussing
is the unhinged speculation he engaged in,
regarding why the FBI conducted the raid in the first place.
Just throwing some ideas out there, and here's in my opinion, one of the craziest.
There's also a lot of speculation because of what they did toe severity of
the FBI coming and raiding Mar-a-Lago.
Were they looking for the Hillary Clinton emails that were deleted but
they are around someplace?
Where they looking for the spying.
>> [CROSSTALK].
No, no, they may be saying they may have thought that it was in there a.
And a lot of people said the only thing that would give the kind of severity
that they showed by actually coming in and
raiding with many many people is the Hillary Clinton.
Feel the Russia, Russia, Russia, stuff, or I mean there there are a number of things,
the spying on Trump's campaign.
>> I don't even know what any of that means.
Okay, there's so many wonderful irrationality in just that simple clip.
Can I just throw one theory out there,
because I'm trying to decode what he's trying to get at, right?
Is he alleging that there's speculation,
that he was behind the Hillary Clinton campaign email leaks.
And so they're okay then. >> I don't know.
None of it makes sense that you're trying to make sense from immoral.
I just okay He just told you they might have raided my
house to find Hillary's emails.
No, you don't have to try to analyze that, the guy is an idiot, he's a lunatic.
Yes, that's the thing, it's cognitive dissonance, because especially reporters
in DC, they think well 30% of the country can't be nuts but yet
Trump appears to be nuts, and they love him, right?
So I'm gonna resolve it by saying Trump is not nuts?
Trump is smart and has strategy, we just can't understand.
No no the actual explanation is yes, 30% of the country is unbalanced.
They look at things like that and they're like, yeah, that makes sense man.
If you really want to get Hillary, you go to Mar-a-Lago, okay, and then you go and
invade Trump to get Hillary, okay?
>> So is he happy about it?
Sean Hannity accidentally asked a good question, he didn't need to before.
When trump was talking about how he just thinks and things get declassified,
Sean Hannity didn't challenge about all.
But on this one he said wait, did you have Hillary's emails?
[LAUGH] Why would you have Hillary's emails?
Did you take them?
And then the last part of the irrationality.
He's like some people are saying that they might be the Russia, Russia and
that information, and how they spied on my, o the FBI might be trying to unlock
how he was spied upon and how the Russia thing was a hoax.
And and they would do that with the documents that he had.
Great then we don't have a controversy at all.
Give it to them and let them look at it and see what they are.
Why don't you help them if they're going after Hillary and
they're trying to prove you that you're right.
Why don't you help them?
Why are you fighting them?
That's so weird that you're fighting them when they're trying to help you.
But with the right wing they just don't care.
They're like sure.
Of course whatever you say, please sleep with my wife.
They would, I swear to God if he did it on national tv,
they would definitely be like, yes, yes,
he slept with my wife to protect Hillary's emails because alright,
I'll let you guys just I'll give you some time to absorb that, Okay.
