DONNY REB:
Trump in 'Really Dangerous Territory,' Maybe Committed 'Treason': Kirschner (JASON LEMON, 8/20/22, Newsweek)
Sir, you were no portrait in courage when you were serving the corrupt Nativist."This is some really dangerous territory for Donald Trump," Kirschner said, who also reminded viewers that the ex-president "launched an armed attack on the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of presidential power.""Let's not forget about that little crime that may actually amount to treason," he added.Trump's team last Friday evening released a statement saying that the former president had a "standing order" to declassify documents. Trump also said on his Truth Social platform that the materials at Mar-a-Lago were "declassified." However, two of Trump's former chiefs of staff, John Kelly and Mick Mulvaney, told CNN for a Thursday article that there was no such order in place when they worked as his top aide."Nothing approaching an order that foolish was ever given," Kelly said. "And I can't imagine anyone that worked at the White House after me that would have simply shrugged their shoulders and allowed that order to go forward without dying in the ditch trying to stop it."
