The law explicitly grants him the authority to retain them…. The Supreme Court decided this and even the FBI cited the case in the affidavit.

Yes it is. Those laws and court cases don't say what you claim they do. The PRA says the exact opposite and that court case is irrelevant to this situation. Trump stole defense documents, their classification status is completely irrelevant

The PRA explicitly grants permission. Read it. The court case is the crux of the issue and even the BI admits it.

I have read it that's how I know you don't understand what the PRA means. No that court case is completely irrelevant Again the laws Trump broke don't mention classification status, classified or not it doesn't matter

The PRA specifically says the president can keep documents.

The “law Trump broke” hinges upon the documents themselves being classified. It’s irrelevant whether or not the verbiage is used
