    There is a protocol - and docs would be labeled that way if they were. Trump has everyone thinking he can just say "These are declassified!", and it makes it true.

    "The minute the president speaks about it to someone, he has the ability to declassify anything at any time without any process."

    No gotcha this time, just an attempt by the loons at the J/D to use the awesome power of government to attack a potential political opponent by a raid at the home of a previous president of the US.

    Never happened before and after this debacle, hopefully, it will never happen again...Marty.
    Even Trump has stopped saying they were declassified.

Already, MAGA Republicans have had considerable success in securing their party’s nominations. In the remaining primaries, right-wing candidates will leverage what happened at Mar-a-Lago to further energize and build support among the conservative base. That’s likely to be effective because primary voters tend to lean more Trumpian. The consequences for the general election, by contrast, seem less clear. The worst-case scenario for Democrats, however, is that Republicans marshal the Mar-a-Lago raid to initiate a maelstrom of anti-Biden energy by making Trump a martyr. The more Republicans are told that the White House is corrupt and out to take down Trump, the greater strength of the backlash we can probably expect in the form of increased GOP turnout."

    Trump had possession of the document. If it pertained to national defense then it is covered by the law even if it isn't classified.
    Turns out, not only did he have them, he showed them to journalists.

    Captain Earl, ex-USAF, I know you won't be out among those unleashing your full fury because it would involve risk, but I also think people like you who support violence will be prosecuted. Maybe just a fine, a felony conviction and restriction from the Internet, but I do believe you have crossed the line between Freedom of Speech and openly advocating and supporting mass murder.

    They want to kill anyone who disagrees with them and install a White Nationalist government.
