CNN has exclusively obtained the audio recording of the 2021 meeting in Bedminster, New Jersey, where President Donald Trump discusses holding secret documents he did not declassify.

    Agreed. I’m a veteran,I had a lower security clearance, and I can attest that the sheer number of times the government warns about the consequences relating to classified materials is very high. There is no question that a military member handling things as Trump did would be locked away quickly and for the long haul.

    Still I hold out hope that 45 will face the consequences he’s due without pardon. Otherwise it would be setting a dangerous precedent for national security, and I can’t think of anything the government holds more dearly than that. Letting 45 off the hook is effectively saying they value him more than national security, no?
