This is not how the act actually functions.
Please go read the actual words.
https://www.archives.gov/news/topics/presidential-records-act
Under the PRA, the official records of the President and his staff are owned by the United States, not by the President.
The Archivist is required to take custody of these records when the President leaves office, and to maintain them in a Federal depository. These records are eligible for access under FOIA five years after the President leaves office. The President may restrict access to specific kinds of information for up to 12 years after he leaves office, but then records are reviewed for FOIA exemptions only. This legislation took effect on January 20, 1981, and the records of the Reagan administration were the first to be administered under this law.
The President has full declassification authority.
Full.
Complete.
Total.
Bill Clinton used this same authority.
They have no case. Trump will be fine.
But of course a doomer like you would pretend not to know things.
That is not how this works.
A former President cannot just magically say any documents he has are declassified.
There is a specific process they need to go through.
And you think you are privy to more information on how this works than President of the United States Donald Trump?
Peace. All will be well.
onetruephilosoraptor is a DeSantis shill with TDS that’s now apparently not above supporting transparent persecution of his political rivals. There is case law precedent concerning Clinton doing something similar that explicitly states documents the president takes on the way out of office is considered his personal property. To say otherwise would be to subsume some authority regarding declassification that is above the fucking president, which yea surprise, there isn’t, and courts have refused to say there is.
Please go look at what Jonathan Turley, Andrew McCarthy and Judge Napolitano have to say on this case.
