DOJ accused of backing presidential secret sales
Original: DOJ says presidents should be able to sell secrets on eBay
Freedom of the Press Foundation published a satirical piece titled 'DOJ says presidents should be able to sell secrets on eBay,' mocking the Justice Department's position that a president can declassify information simply by deciding to, with no formal process required. The satire imagines presidents auctioning classified documents online to highlight what critics see as the absurdity of that legal argument in debates over presidential records and classified material.
Why now: The Justice Department's stance on presidential declassification power is drawing criticism and mockery in the context of disputes over how classified documents can be handled.
