It belongs to the office. He can't declassify anything after he's no longer in office.jemcanada2 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 8:42 am I haz questions. Does the declassification of documents belong to the office, not the person, like executive privilege does? If tfg didn’t actually declassify the purloined documents, does the choice to declassify them now belong to Biden or tfg?
This seems to be the Trumpers’ argument. Trump could declassify the documents at any time so no biggie.
ETA: But lets say for the sake of argument he declassified them on his last day, and forgot to update the stamps . He's still not allowed to put them all in boxes and put them on a plane to Florida when he left. The records are not his personal property.
