Another example, wasn't live TV, but he says "I declassified it with my mind"... That's not valid.  The document remains classified unless there is a written, signed document explaining what was declassified. Because no one can read his mind, everyone must proceed as if the document is classified including the sitting president and all former presidents.  So his retention of those documents is on its face illegal, unless he's lying and there actually is a written, signed record of declassification somewhere.

Only you could interpret "stay peaceful" as a call for disruption.  To paraphrase Johnnie Cochran, "If the quote doesn't fit, you must acquit."
