Peter Strzok: The Presidential Records Act Doesn’t Give Trump the Right to Take Anything He Wants
EXCERPT:
STRZOK: “Nicolle, that’s right. To kind of go through some of his assertions, first of all, the Presidential Records Act doesn’t give him the right to take anything he wants, and clearly states that those records are the property of the people of the United States. The things that he is citing, that idea that he can declassify things en masse with his brain just by thinking about it is nonsense. What concerns me, you’re absolutely right. It is, I have the right. I could do it and implicitly I did do it. What never comes out of his mouth, what he never says in any of his behavior is, and I appreciate the solemn responsibility that I had as the president of the United States to protect the national security of the United States of America. I understood the gravity behind this highly classified information and what it cost the United States in terms of potential human lives, potentially exquisite technical capabilities which costs billions upon billions of dollars to create. There is never a word out of him to express any sort of appreciation about the gravity and the importance of protecting this information.”
