OF COURSE the permanent bureaucracy controls the documents! We elect a President to make important decisions, guide policy, and be our representative to the rest of the world. We don't elect him to track who has what documents. The bureaucracy is what provides continuity between Presidents and allows government to continue to function Nov thru Jan/Feb.
Why has no one on either side reporting and commenting today said anything about Trump's apparent inability to understand why documents might be classified and how the person holding them has a responsibilty to not show them to anyone without the clearance? And why has noone asked who else cook have been shown these? Were there any foreign guests staying at MarALago in the 18 months between leaving the white house and the FBI search warrant? Maybe I'm just having a GRRRrrrr day!
His Hillbilly DNA legacy is blooming. I think he is both: 'But JD Vance is either a complete moron who lets random stuff fall from his face, or he is yet another dishonest, disgusting, cheating prevaricator on the right.'
If everybody in the Federal bureaucracy changed with each new administration, not only would you avoid a Deep State, each Inauguration Day would resemble a Chinese fire drill. But hey, who needs institutional knowledge?
I always want to ask these folks who sneer at expertise, knowledge and experience, if your pipes were leaking and water was flooding your house, would you call a plumber or an electrician?
We don’t know what we don’t know. That’s terrifying, given the cast of characters.
I heard John Brennan on a podcast (Deadline Whitehouse?) say it will take years - maybe decades - to assess the damage done by the leak of this trove of secret documents. And clues will be informants who turn up dead.

JD is an opportunist. Unfortunately we make it easy for grifters to succeed.
Vance is 100% a sellout.
I'm not sure. A 100% sellout will stay bought. He might well be more dangerous than being a complete sellout.
So, 90%?

they never use it, haven't since they all came into power. The Taliban Club, as Adam Kinzinger called them, it just pure grievance and bullying
