You’re right, they were not “classified” because just like trump he had the authority to declassify them. Trumps documents are also not classified under obama’s own executive order. You have to apply the same rules the same way to everybody.

What executive order from Obama are you referring to?

… are you retarded? It literally defines the ability for the president to declassify any and ALL documents with out any specific procedures. Basically any documents trump had were no longer classified. So the BS about trump having classified documents is bunk, by the left’s own rules. He broke no laws, and everything he had he legally had and there was no expectation for him to keep them classified in any way. (Though he did secure them up EXACTLY how the FBI wanted him to, he was already cooperating with requests they had made, and the raid’s only purpose was to be political.

No but I'm guessing you are, the laws Trump broke don't mention classified documents, just defense documents. And if Trump declassified them that's actually worse from a legal standpoint since he would have had to have known what those documents were about. Meaning he willfully took defense documents out of the white house which is a massive crime.

Read the affidavit and the warrant, they specified which laws he broke by taking those documents, then go read those laws. Facts don't care about your feelings

I did, they were redacted to the point of meaningless, and literally a list of boxes. I could say YOU stole defense documents, and have you raided if I was in control of the fbi, it doesn’t mean you did. This is nothing but political BS. And once again, he was cooperating with them, all they had to do was ask… the raid was political. Nothing more.

No you didn't or you would have known what laws he broke. Also no you couldn't because you have no evidence to back up your claims unlike the FBI that had to convince a judge that Trump still had documents because he didn't comply fully with a subpoena. You really are hopeless
