Trump said he declassified those documents and Kash Patel witnessed it. But the judge and the DOJ want actual proof that he did so, which is pretty hard to produce 18 months later. Apparently they won’t take his word or Kash Patel’s word, but they believe everything the DOJ and FBI says.

They also want him to prove that he declassified certain documents but won’t tell him which ones they’re referring to. So if he swears to it or produces evidence of declassification on a number of documents but leaves any out of the group in question, they’ll come after him for not proving he declassified those. How is he supposed to get fair treatment when practically all of DC is against him? And if they’ll do that to a billionaire like Trump, just imagine what they’ll do to you or me.

It really doesn’t work to try to convince people that ‘the President waved his hand over these boxes and spake ‘I declassify thee’. Yes, they are trying to hurt Trump any and every way they can, but not even having them stamped declassified’ and/or an official record of what they are is not going to fly with any court.

In government, it doesn’t matter what happened. It matters what was DOCUMENTED in writing happened.
