The president's defense is rooted in the legal principal that the president and vice president are the ultimate declassifying authority of the U.S. government


Cool.

What if Biden by the same 'standing order' re-classified everything Trump took? Since the (current) President is the ultimate authority...Trump is still screwed.

But really, this isn't a true defense and not a reason why he refused to return the documents when asked.

Is he? Then that means the DOJ and Archives have allowed Trump to keep these super dangerous docs since Biden took office.

You don’t think there’s a legal remedy that exists in your hypothetical besides raiding the homes of your political enemies?

You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. What Trump did was almost certainly perfectly legal. Every president has done the same thing.

This pure “perception” proceedings because they desperately don’t want OMB to run.

In short, frick off.

It doesn’t work that way. If they are declassified, they’re declassified. You don’t get to retroactively reclassify documents just so you can target your political enemies… even if you did reclassify the documents, I’d bet the house that there is a set procedure that must be adhered to. For starters, did they inform Trump that the documents in question were being reclassified or did they conveniently leave that part out when they originally met with him back In January? From the reported events, Trump granted them access on multiple occasions and told them to let him know if they needed access again… I’m curious as to when the date of the supposed reclassification occurred. My bet is that it’s very recent.

It’s not a defense because no crime was committed. It’s just a fact.

You’re pretty stupid. If it’s not viable then take it to the courts to decide, don’t do nothing for years and suddenly decide it’s raid time.
