They are full of crap and politically motivated liars. Also there were no classified documents in his possession. Even the government doesn’t claim that. They carefully call them “documents with classified markings”.
He was not charged under the laws regarding classified documents. He was charged under the wide ranging Espionage Act for having “National Defense Information”.
That Espionage law does not require it be classified.
The PRA sets the President as the final authority on what documents he can possess. This was already litigated in the Clinton era.
“The socks ruling addressed whether a private party — Judicial Watch — could get a court to order the archivist to determine whether Clinton had improperly designated the audiotapes recorded during his presidency as personal.
”The court concluded that the Presidential Records Act did not give the judiciary that authority to require that of the Archivist,”
PRA applies. Trump had no classified information. The Archivist cannot overrule the President. The FBI was searching for the records Trump declassified about the five eyes/CIA/FBI Russiagate scam.
I gathered as much. Thanks for the confirmation.
