Illegal is illegal if Im caugt with a classifed document he dont matter how I got it years ago I have it
you are a *****.
the law about classified documents doesn't make it illegal if a mistake is made.
it very much matters how it got there.
its only illegal in terms of charging a person with a crime for someone to INTENTIONALLY take them or keep them,*****,
as I already posted
god you're stupid.
see below, *****. WILLFULLY = intentionally. Mistakes aren't criminal offenses, *****, but you do have to return them once the mistake is found (as biden did).
