Kash Patel (former Defense Dept chief of staff): “If he says something is declassified, that’s it, it is declassified. He declassified a whole set of documents that should have come out… That’s on the National Archives to sort that material out… Even if it was classified, they’ll never meet the burden of intent because the president didn’t pack it up and take it out himself, the G.S.A. has said they did it and they made a mistake.”

• PATEL: What he did was on his way out of the White House, he declassified — made available to every American citizen in the world — large volumes of information relating not just to Russiagate, but to national security matters, to the Ukraine impeachment, to his impeachment one, impeachment two.
