WILL CAIN (CO-HOST): I think I want to go straight to this issue with you, Bill. You've been around, you've covered and been within administrations for quite some decades. You know, if I listen to alternative media today, and they're telling me, oh, classified documents, no one is above the law, right? The rule of law applies to everyone. I'm curious. When it comes to classified documents, famously, President Nixon said, if the president does it, then it is not illegal. Is that not truly the standard when it comes to classified documents? The president has the ability to at any time declassify anything.
