Trump wants us to believe that since the documents were supposedly declassified by him. no crime was committed.
Trump is up to his usual tactics--obfuscate. delay. confuse the issue.
The facts is. whether the documents were classified or not doesn't matter. Having them in the first place is the issue. He's trying to make us forget the obvious fact that he did indeed have them in his possession.
There is substantial evidence that no such "standing order" ever existed.
To avoid the legal issues and to curry favor with and incite his base
Trump has been able to effectively use the issue to inflame. There have been many. many threats against FBI agents and offices.
The is no excuse for Trump having all these documents--classified or unclassified. blatant nonsense like this needs to be called out. The worst kind of social unacceptability because he was in fact the President.
There is overwhelming evidence that no such order exists.
