Kinds hard to prosecute a former President for classified documents that he not only officially declassified, but that also have a presumption of declassification under the PRA

Breaking News: President Trump will be indicted as early as next week by special counsel Jack Smith as Garlands DOJ refused to give Trump a delay due to one prosecutor promising a judgeship to the lawyer of one witness. The main charge he faces is gathering, transmitting, or losing national defense documents. Earlier today a document was released that showed Trump declassified multiple documents before leaving office. Bidens DOJ has a very weak case as precedence in previous cases including one with Bill Clinton stated that the President has authority to decide what is personal. The witch hunt continues!

/1🚨BREAKING — New AFL whitepaper reveals that the President of the United States has absolute authority over his presidential papers, undermining an essential element of the Biden DOJ’s Mar-a-Lago prosecution. We explain in the thread below…
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/2 This whitepaper details why–as a matter of constitutional law, the Presidential Records Act (PRA), and historical practice–the President of the United States has absolute authority over presidential papers. Neither Congress nor the federal courts may lawfully abrogate or limit this authority.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/3 This constitutional fact has significant implications for Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution against Donald J. Trump in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The Department of Justice has charged Donald Trump with violating 18 U.S.C. § 793(e), which provides:
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/4 In obtaining the search warrant to raid Mar-a-Lago in 2022, the Biden DOJ relied upon the definition of a “Presidential Record” in 42 U.S.C. § 2201 to support its position that Donald Trump retained documents he did not have the authority to retain at the conclusion of his presidency, and that somehow, the National Archives and Records Administration possessed the authority to require them to be returned.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/5 As explained in the whitepaper — text, precedent, and executive practice reinforce the historical tradition. The records a President creates or receives while performing the duties of his office are his presidential records. That test does not depend on the content of the records, or whether the records are classified.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/6 The test does not change when a President leaves office. If, for example, a former President acquires new records after leaving office, those new records would not enjoy the same constitutional status as his presidential records acquired while in office.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/7 But the Presidential records a President takes with him upon vacating the presidency are his, to do with as he pleases. The President can keep them, sell them, destroy them, or donate them, as all Presidents have done.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/8 Other commentators and analysts have asserted that the president has the absolute right under the PRA to determine which records are his, but they have not acknowledged the broader constitutional issues at the heart of the matter...keep reading.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/9 …Congress does not have the authority under the Constitution to tell the president which records are his and which are not.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/10 Since the founding of our republic, presidents leaving office have taken custody of their presidential records—the president’s records are his personal property because they were prepared by him, or for him, in furtherance of his official duties. The records also belong to him because the Constitution requires it.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/11 The documents that a president prepares or receives during his term in office belong to him. A reading of the Presidential Records Act that fails to account for a former president’s right to possess and control his records is inconsistent with the text, history, and precedent of presidential records.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/12 Thus, the politically-motivated Florida prosecution of President Trump is impossible under the law. https://aflegal.org/america-first-legal-whitepaper-the-president-of-the-united-states-has-absolute-authority-over-his-presidential-papers-undermining-an-essential-element-of-the-biden-dojs-mar-a-lago-prosecuti/

BREAKING: Donald Trump has filed a motion to compel discovery of classified documents that would prove that there was foreign interference in the 2020 election "President Trump is also entitled to all information relating to foreign influence efforts targeting the 2020 election, including foreign influence relating to events on January 6, whether or not he was briefed contemporaneously regarding these issues."

/1🚨BREAKING — A secret Obama memo, the Presidential Information Technology Committee (PITC), regarding control of Presidential records could change everything in the DOJ’s politicized prosecution of Trump… THREAD:
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/2 In October 2014, Russian hackers breached the Executive Office of the President’s network. In response, President Obama created, via executive action, PITC. PITC includes representatives of the Departments of Defense and DHS, among others. https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2015/03/19/presidential-memorandum-establishing-director-white-house-information-te
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/3 First, PITC creates a presumption that the President controls all information he receives. The PITC memo established the President’s exclusive control over information resources and systems provided to the President.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/4 The memo created the presumption that information contained on information systems and resources was “EOP information.”
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/5 Because the memo relied upon the Federal Records Act’s definition of “information system” as resources organized for the “use” and “disposition” of “information”, the memo gives the President exclusive control over information he receives. This is relevant to what a President may reasonably believe about information given to him while in office.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/6 Second, and related, if information stored on the PITC network formed the basis for Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of former President Trump, that evidence should have been disclosed to the former President and may be relevant to his liability.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/7 Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment against former President Trump, claims “Trump was not authorized to possess or retain...classified documents.” But Obama’s PITC memo may have created a reasonable belief in President Trump that he, in fact, had such authority.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/8 Additionally, if the records Trump allegedly destroyed are still preserved within the EOP or the U.S. Department of Defense as part of PITC-created information systems, then other claims in the indictment may be baseless.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/9 These explosive findings are consistent with America First Legal’s whitepaper contending that the President of the United States has absolute authority over presidential papers. Neither Congress nor the federal courts may lawfully abrogate or limit this authority.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/10 The American people deserve to know the truth behind this secretive memo…we filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Defense Information Agency, part of the Department of Defense.

/1🚨EXPLOSIVE LITIGATION DOCS: We sued DOD and uncovered a secret Obama memo on presidential records which shows that Jack Smith is the one subverting the law. The directive, which legally binds DOJ, vests POTUS with sole authority to determine which records are his. More…
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/2 This secretive memo established by the Obama Administration — and used through the Trump and Biden Administrations — confirms the government may have already had originals of the alleged classified documents involved in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s sham prosecution against President Trump through the Presidential Information Technology Community (PITC).
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/3 Some background… In October 2014, Russian hackers breached the Executive Office of the President (EOP)’s network. In response, President Obama created, via executive action, PITC.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/4 PITC includes representatives of the DOD and Homeland Security, among others. PITC effectively establishes that the President controls all the information he receives through the PITC network. We launched an investigation…
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/5 AFL Vice President @DanielZEpstein’s op-ed breaks down PITC in further detail below…
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/6 On April 4, 2024, we sued the DOD to compel the immediate release of documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regarding the secretive Presidential Information Technology Committee (PITC) created by former President Barack Obama.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/7 The PITC executive order was public, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. Today, AFL releases a never-before-public memo from the White House confirming the DOD has been “operating and maintaining the information resources and information systems provided to the President, Vice President, and Executive Office of the President (EOP).”
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/8🚨This memo reveals that the White House secretly created and apparently maintains an information technology community that enforced Obama’s executive order to ensure that presidents could store their records on DOD servers without losing control.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/9 What it means is that the federal government has preserved and retained all EOP records on its servers, and therefore, consistent with Obama’s order, it likely possesses a substantial amount, if not all, of President Trump’s classified documents.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/10 Under section 2.01 of the memo, the White House Communications Agency provides core services related to unclassified records. Under section 2.06 of the memo, the National Security Council provides classified services.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/11 Section 2.04 of the memo concedes that all “records created, stored, used, or transmitted by, on, or through the information resources and information systems provided to the President” were stored at DOD. Thus, the White House Communications Agency and NSC at the White House simply provide services regarding records housed at DOD.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/12 Any Congressional committee with subpoena power can now seek to determine whether the documents that Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained and claimed Trump unlawfully retained after his presidency are actually in Biden’s active possession through PITC. 🚨🚨🚨
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/13 This revelation cuts a knife through the entire indictment as it proves that many, if not all, of the documents President Trump is accused of unlawfully retaining were and are currently still retained by the Executive Branch and stored on DOD servers.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/14 Further, because of the PITC memo’s aggressive posture that all records the President receives are subject to his control, President Trump had a clear basis for believing he had the authority to possess copies of records stored at the DOD. It would, therefore, be impossible for Trump to have retained records "without authorization" and "willfully" and "knowingly," as the Jack Smith indictment suggests.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/15 This, of course, sets aside the point that the President of the United States has absolute discretion under the Presidential Records Act to determine which records are his, as we have long asserted:
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/16 Lastly, the secret document uncovered by AFL raises the question of why armed agents ever raided President Trump’s personal residence. The Special Counsel should have first determined what relevant records existed on the DOD systems. The failure to do so, as the Biden administration clearly knew and enforced PITC, smacks of politicization and dangerous government overreach.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/17 Moreover, PITC explains how the President controls all the records: "This memorandum is intended to maintain the President's exclusive control of the information resources and information systems provided to the President, Vice President, and EOP." https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2015/03/19/presidential-memorandum-establishing-director-white-house-information-te
