Former Trump AG Bill Barr on Trump's federal indictment: "If even half of it is true, then he's toast. I mean, it's a very detailed indictment, and it's very, very damning. This idea of presenting Trump as a victim here -- a victim of a witch hunt -- is ridiculous."
Bill Barr: "We can't forget here that this entire thing came about because of reckless conduct of the president. If he had just turned over the documents, which I think every other person in the country would have done ... "
Barr debunks GOP spin: "There are 2 bigs lies that are out there right now. One is that, 'oh, these other presidents took all these documents' ... and the second thing is this idea that the president has complete authority to declare any document personal is facially ridiculous"

JIM JORDAN: Trump can classify and control access. He has the sole authority.

DANA BASH: In this indictment Trump states on at least one occasion that he did not declassify the information.

JORDAN: He has said time and time again he has declassified this material.
BASH: Do you have evidence that the former president actually declassified these documents before he took them?

JIM JORDAN: I go on the president's word, and he said he did
Jim Jordan is a completely ridiculous person. Get a load of him talking over Dana Bash here.
