Classified information belongs to the executive branch. Under the Constitution, the executive power is vested in a single official, the president. As Justice Scalia pointed out in his classic dissent in Morrison v. Olson, this does not mean some of the executive power; it means all of the executive power. The president can make a bad de-classification decision, but it is his decision to make. ~ Pointed out in Justice Scalia’s dissent in Morrison v. Olson
Jack Posobiec of Human Events discussed the recently leaked audio clips of former President Donald Trump that were acquired by CNN. Ryan Goodman, former Special Counsel for the Department of Defense claimed that Trump was “narrating his crime” in the leak.
“The biggest thing that I think that came out over the last 12 hours, between the last time we chatted and now, of course, is this new CNN audio,” Posobiec said. “The bombshell audio, the audio that’s going to take out President Trump. They’ve been trying to do it for eight years, but this is the tape that is finally going to put him away, not only out of politics, but out of his own personal freedom. Take him out of Mar-a-Lago, take him out of the tower, and put him behind bars.”

“Look, I gotta say, folks, this was the audio? This was the main thing they were talking about? Look, this is obviously President Trump making fun of General Milley. Anyone who’s gonna read this with just a slight, a thimble of charity, or just even understanding, of trying to understand this is how he talks, this is how he talks in interviews, it’s how he talks when he’s on stage, it’s how he talks when he’s on, for lack of a better term. There’s an old saying, it’s old now at this point, that Trump supporters take him seriously, but not literally.”
“The media takes Trump literally, but not seriously. What does this mean? So obviously, in the transcript, just to get past the goobers for a second, he uses the words ‘a secret.’ That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s referring to security markings, classifications on documents. He’s just saying it’s like a secret, it’s like highly classified. Fact of the matter is President Trump is not a legal scholar. That being said, as the President of the United States, and we did obtain, I obtained footage earlier today, of President Trump that definitively plays a role in the case against Jack Smith. Do you know what that footage is? I posted on Twitter this very morning.”
