He had perfectly valid reason to have them. Nothing illegal in possessing them

And what is this valid reason for stealing classified documents.

Then provide the proof.
What Patel or trump said, after the FACT of leaving Office, means squat.

Provide the PROOF of declassification other than trump says or Patel says.

your moronic KKKult leader is facing justice, and it hurts you, and no amount of Denial and Lying will change the FACT that trump is a con man just NOW facing his crimes. FINALLY.

Idiot... YOu have been shown numerous times that the PResident of the Untied States is the decalsifiying Agent. His word is it. IF he says it is calssified, it is. IF he says it is not, it is not. As the president he has sole authoriy in this matter.

The president’s classification and declassification powers are broad

Experts agreed that the president, as commander-in-chief, is ultimately responsible for classification and declassification. When someone lower in the chain of command handles classification and declassification duties — which is usually how it’s done — it’s because they have been delegated to do so by the president directly, or by an appointee chosen by the president.

The majority ruling in the 1988 Supreme Court case Department of Navy vs. Egan — which addressed the legal recourse of a Navy employee who had been denied a security clearance — addresses this line of authority.

“The President, after all, is the ‘Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States’” according to Article II of the Constitution, the court’s majority wrote. “His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security … flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President, and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant.”
Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of American Scientists Project on Government Secrecy, said that such authority gives the president the authority to “classify and declassify at will.”

In fact, Robert F. Turner, associate director of the University of Virginia’s Center for National Security Law, said that “if Congress were to enact a statute seeking to limit the president’s authority to classify or declassify national security information, or to prohibit him from sharing certain kinds of information with Russia, it would raise serious separation of powers constitutional issues.”

The official documents governing classification and declassification stem from executive orders. But even these executive orders aren’t necessarily binding on the president. The president is not “obliged to follow any procedures other than those that he himself has prescribed,” Aftergood said. “And he can change those.”

Of course he's an ass.

Intelligent people judge him on his accomplishments as President, however.

He’s a New Yorker. That explains the personality issues.
Policy, however, is a completely separate matter for us actual Americans.

You think so?

It’s revealing how you libs are madly scrambling about names and sources when it’s Clear by the words leading up to the redacted portion is Not names but rather rationale or reasoning.
What did they have as fact evidence to break in there? That is not being disclosed. The judge will not permit that.

Did Trump blow the cover of CIA covert operatives overseas?

Doubt it. Just more planted evidence by the FBI.

Boxes of classified documents with names of people who need protection, good enough reason for you?

And what is this valid reason for stealing classified documents.

He's not going to answer, because he's a Trump tool.
