He basically says that yes, Trump declassified the Russia collusion documents. Then he left the White House with the documents and Biden, or whoever the President is, reclassified them.
Therefore Trump thought he was in possession of documents which were now public record. But now the docs are classified and he is in possession of classified material.
The reclassification was never made public.
Is it possible to do this, not inform the public, then arrest someone for possession of classified material?
IDK, that's why I'm asking.
What’s the point of reclassifying declassified documents , would be a bit late ,LOL

The hounds of hell have been unleashed on a sinful nation and we’re watching the Republic being eaten from within.
When Trump is President against he can declassify the documents that were classified that he originally declassified when they were classified 🤪

Does this means Biden’s puppeteer’s knew what was going on all along
The DOJ never released the documents to the public, nor was there any announcement they had been reclassified.
So the government on its own decided to go against Trump, even though it was illegal.
This makes the most sense of the trick they are playing.
Obviously, it’s possible because it appears to have been done. It may be that Trump ordered them declassified, but that was just the start of the process and his underlings refused to follow through and release the documents. Just remember when W. Bush and Co. outed CIA agent Valerie Plame? The argument was that Bush had declassified parts of the Nation Intelligence Estimate so it was OK.
Unless of course this was just a fishing expedition carried out under false pretenses.
How is this even possible? Once something is declassified, could it not then potentially be dispersed? And if so, would it not then be impossible to classify it again without knowing every individual who had access to the declassified documents?
If something has been made public, you can’t really make it “unpublic” again. The cat is out of the bag at that point.
If this is true it seems Trump would have said something specific. So far Trump’s comments have been real general.
Trump wins this in court and people will now go to jail over this.
Biden was never elected.
It’s possible to do, but it won’t stand up in the court of last resort (SCOTUS). The process is the punishment, they don’t care about the final outcome.
Probably violates the ex post facto clause of the constitution.
It will give the screaming meemies more fuel for their conniption fits right up through the November, also.
It seems like you can’t be responsible for violating a law (or a classification) which was never made public.
That would be like passing a law to forbid a previously legal act, not publishing it, then going out and arresting someone for violating your secret law.
Clever ploy on Biden’s part (although probably someone else came up with the idea). Trump can now be ruled ineligible to hold office. He can litigate it but the states with Democratic attorneys general can refuse to allow his name on the ballot in 2024.
What you said.
There we go again. Somebody muddies the waters. The president has the right to declassify anything he wants . Which he did do according to Kash. And if they’re going to use this crap that Biden reclassified and not telling Trump it’s called entrapment. Muddy the waters muddy the waters. How many times have we seen this play? Always ends the same way which is Trump gets beat up and counter punches and games over. It must be really really tiresome to be a perpetual punching bag from people who couldn’t carry his jockstrap.
If the Supreme Court says he’s on the ballot, they’ll have to put him on.
