He has said that about multiple issues for years. Even if he wanted to do it the alphabet agencies wont let it happen, they just ignore the orders.

Good luck getting a government employee to throw their job away.

Yes, in theory.

But they’ve been refusing to cooperate for years now. There are ‘alt’ agency accounts on Twitter run by insiders who work against Trump.

And right now they consider him a lame duck. No way they’re going to do anything now.

No, pede. You have to understand, these documents are not just lying around on a desk he can just walk up to and grab. Government procedure for top secret documents is pretty hardcore, they're stored in filing cabinets with multiple locks, or in vaults you have to be allowed in, or on servers they'd never get access to. All they have to do is refuse to disclose where they are, what the passwords are, and deny access to those areas. And, they're not necessarily stored in the buildings that are front facing to the public, they may be in remote locations. Or on servers away from the offices.

I honestly believe any GS-11 who attempts to get access to the deep stuff would be killed or jailed. "Oh, that guy? Dunno. He never showed up."

Wishful thinking. And, a potential response could be bullets.

Do you think they leave the safe around labeled "TOP SECRET INFO HERE DONT LET PEDES IN"?

It's buried at the back of a room with 500 other filing cabinets on the bottom shelf labeled "1993 Cafeteria Menu Archive" or something.
