listen to what Trump's former Communications staff member, Stephanie Grisham, has to say...especially toward the end of this short video...she clarifies, in simple terms, why DJT can't just wave his hand over Classified documents and declare them "De-Classified" without going through a process for each of them that informs the agencies responsible for their content, to see if they agree, and if they do, give them sufficient time to 'move and/or deal with' the Sources and Methods that could very well be covered in those documents...to the best of my knowledge, this has not happened.
IMO, DJT is totally boxed in on this...thanks to his own big mouth, and inability to think and reason...be that as it may, keep Ms. Grisham's words in your mind as this all plays out. I fully expect her to be 'attacked' by several posters here, but there are attorneys with direct experience in defending and prosecuting Confidential document cases who say the exact same thing...she just simplifies it for you.

walls of Mar-a-Lago will all have ketchup streaks on them as a result of this investigation.
Biden did it with regularity with barely a peep. I think it's hysterical there's a class action suit. Bring that on baby! Let's shine one big legal spotlight on this! Get your popcorn!
But when you ship 0.0000000001% of the immigrants to a lily white bastion of liberal ideology who are never impacted by these decisions and then for those residents ship them out in less than TWO days? The optics suck for El Muchacho Grande Biden.
Presidential papers belong to the “people” — maintained by the National Archives.
The “declassified” narrative is nonsense. Typical Trump false narrative being fed to his moron base because he is aware that more serious criminal statutes come into play with classified material.
But, under any scenario, removing President papers violates the law. Imagine a departing President loading White House furniture, computers, and paintings into moving vans and leaving the incoming President with a vacant empty house. That would be theft.
This whole thing will get settled. No one is going to jail. Lots of wiggle room in the PRA. Especially element 6 of that statute. No way this rises to the level of the espionage.
None of us know the scope of those two factors.
Time will tell.
This whole thing will get settled. No one is going to jail.

All Republicans are scum and they don't care about the truth or facts.
