It does not make sense that they are looking for classified information.

They know Trump has the power to declassify anything.

Something else is afoot or they are really stupid.

They know the media and the base will support them if it concerns Trump and in reality any republican.

For whatever reason many seem to think the law, facts or precedent matter. They raided an rx-presidents house after all. .

Whether or not they were looking for classified information isn’t important.

My theory is that they are CLAIMING to be searching for classified information so they can always hide behind “national security concerns” whenever any questions about the raid are raised.

"It was the latest stunning revelation from the series of investigations swirling around his efforts to retain power after his election loss..."

The raid/document seizure was done in service to the lie that Trump staged an insurrection to retain power. According to the internal logic of the lie, the documents kept by Trump had to have been done so to help him seize office. Whether the docs were declassified or not is immaterial for purposes of the overarching lie/propaganda/narrative.

As I understand it the statues they're using don't rely on the documents being classified.
