He’s the President. Whatever he says is declassified is declassified

If Trump's statements are accurate, Trump did nothing wrong and was complying with the feds during inspections, but he is still going to lose on this one, and in a DC court, we all know how that will play out.

Yes, it's BS, but as far as we know, there's no memo or documentation that memorialized his blanket declassification decision, and he never released the supposedly declassified files to the public, which means they could be easily reclassified and reclaimed by the government by a successor.

If Trump had a staff that actually took care of him, his decisions on declassification upon movement to Mar a lago would be diligently recorded and memorialized to prevent, or at least stave off prosecution for exactly what has happened.

Even if all of the classification stuff were swept under the rug because it's executive authority, the declassified documents would still be government docs and fall under FOIA, which is outside presidential purview.

After the D.C. court the court of appeals. After that SCOTUS.

Trump will win.

Trump’s staff never adequately looked after him.

They were incompetent.

How will we be assured that this time around, Trump will choose competent staff members, and leave his kids out of it?

I see a King Lear narrative developing for DJT in the near future.
