Squirrel!
You apparently can’t see that the Presidential Records Act (PRA) entirely guides the outcome here, yet Jack doesn’t bother telling that to the grand jury, nor is it properly woven into Smith’s indictment. (He don’ know Jack!)
As far as National Security and military secrets, those are prepared entirely for the US President. PDJT embodied the every aspect of the Executive Branch at the time.
Under the PRA, the president can declassify anything and take anything with him as he leaves office. He doesn’t have to tell anyone. He doesn’t have to go through any administrative procedure whatsoever. If there ever should be a discrepancy, the PRA provides for good-faith efforts and non-criminal contests concerning any difference of opinion or understanding. If there were any problem(s), that is where Jack should have focused his efforts, not pursuing a criminal indictment. <— PERIOD!
This was already adjudicated in a Judicial Watch vs Bill Clinton lawsuit where Slick absconded with all manner of valuable, previously classified intel and hid it in his sock drawer. The case determined all Slick did was legal. What PDJT did with his documents has been far tamer.
You should read the JW case and not just repeat what someone else says. That is a completely wrong summary of that case. First, JW didn’t sue Clinton, they sued NARA.
Second, Clinton didn’t abscond with all manner of valuable previously classified intel. The lawsuit was over a set of audiotapes recorded by an author writing a book about Clinton. The author was allowed to record Clinton during his regular workday, and as a result, the tapes captured classified conversations with foreign leaders, etc. Clinton classified the tapes as personal records when he left the White House. JW requested NARA to reclassify the tapes as presidential records and to retrieve them from Clinton so they would be subject to FOIA requests. NARA declined to do so, and JW sued to try to force them to do so.
Third, the case was not adjudicated on the merits. It was dismissed because the court could not order NARA to do what JW requested. Nowhere in the opinion did it state that everything Clinton did was legal - it said that there was nothing in the statute that would allow the court or NARA to overturn the designation of the tapes as personal records.
