But under your scenario it was classified material that Trump declassified so he could remove it.
Let's all hope it was still closely held.
How would I know? I’m not Trump nor do I work for the DOJ so I don’t know what documents were there.
The context of the question was the other poster saying he should have declassified them all.
Sure, and if the President had declassified them, then they by definition wouldn’t be “sensitive”.
LOL.
Whatever gets you through the night.
It is what it is. The president has the ultimate authority, so his decisions are the basis for what is and isn’t sensitive, classified, etc. Nobody in the entire government can supercede his decisions.
So they would have to be produced to the New York Slimes under a Freedom of Information request?
Sure, if they were declassified.
So if Biden recklessly declassifies our highest level secrets, same result?
Of course. The rules don’t change just because the President happens to be an idiot.
