But the indictment looks so strong. The indictment even says he had classified documents. But he declassified everything. Furthermore the federal government archivists moved those documents down to MAL.

None of his lawyers have argued in court that he declassified everything. That's just something he's been saying publicly. Declassification may not even matter if the statutes they're using don't require it (e.g. if they just reference "national security" information without respect to classification).

The goal, as always, and as others predicted, is the "obstruction of justice" BS. That's how they get you. There should be more risk on the part of the accuser in many cases, where lying about it should get you and everyone knowingly involved punished three times as harshly as the accused would've been. Should be this way for rape, sexual harassment, and obstruction of justice (tied to the underlying charges).

It doesn’t actually matter much if he declassified them or not, since he’s primarily in trouble for taking and refusing to return documents,
particularly sensitive documents that cannot be accessed unless in a secure containment facility, even by sitting presidents.

That said, there is literally a quote in the indictment from a Trump recording saying that he could have declassified documents but he didn’t.

This should be front and center. These malcontents seem to want to portray this as Trump had his henchmen load them all up in the dead of night and hauled them off.
