That’s not how any of that fucking works. Can ex government officials just take secrets home after not working there anymore.

The mental gymnastics is astonishing

1) the president is not legally classified as an official.

2) Trump was president at the time, not ex-president. So you are just factually incorrect here.

You are trying too hard. He isn’t president now while have possession of top secret documents he never declassified (absolutely no proof of stated declassification while he was president )

He was president at the time they were placed in storage at Mar-a-Lago, which is all that is required.

he never declassified (absolutely no proof of stated declassification while he was president )

That’s not how declassification works and even the FBI admitted that.
