As I've said many times here there is a formal declassification process for everyone but the president. The president can verbally declassify or as his intelligence officials have stated Trump can have a standing order that anything he removes from the white house is automatically declassified as it was for Bush and Obama.Call up Trump’s lawyers and tell them what you’ve been saying about this all along, @newfie !

Special master to Trump’s lawyers: ‘You can't have your cake and eat it’
Judge Raymond Dearie pushed Trump’s lawyers repeatedly for not backing up the former president’s claim that he declassified the highly sensitive national security-related records discovered in his residence.www.politico.com
“Judge Raymond Dearie repeatedly challenged Trump’s lawyers for refusing to back up the former president’s claim that he declassified the highly sensitive national security-related records discovered in his residence.“
“Dearie bristled at the effort by Trump’s lawyers to resist his request for proof that Trump actually attempted to declassify any of the 100 documents that the Justice Department recovered from his estate. Without evidence from Trump, Dearie said his only basis to judge the classification level of the records was the fact that they all bear markings designating them as highly sensitive national security secrets — including some that indicate they contain intelligence derived from human sources and foreign intercepts.“
with that said the trump lawyers are not going to present their entire possible defense case and call witnesses for a document review.
this information that you shared is however excellent red meat for all the TDS afflicted .
