1.  Trump has said he declassified all of those documents, so none were top secret.


Richard Immerman, a historian and an assistant deputy director of national intelligence in the Obama administration, said that, while the president has the authority to declassify documents, there’s a formal process for doing so, and there's no indication Trump used it.


“He can’t just wave a wand and say it’s declassified,” Immerman said. “There has to be a formal process. That’s the only way the system can work,” because otherwise there would be no way of knowing who could handle or see the documents.


“I’ve seen thousands of declassified documents. They’re all marked ‘declassified’ with the date they were declassified,” Immerman said.  


That does not appear to have been the case with some of the documents that were returned to the National Archives from Mar-a-Lago this year. Archivist David S. Ferriero, an Obama appointee, said in a letter to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform in February that his agency had "identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes” from Mar-a-Lago.


 


2.   At this time it is a lie to say there was sensitive imilitary secrets, nobody that knows has made that claim.


Time will tell. You call it a lie because it's inconvenient for you eh? Since you just said nobody knows, why do you call it a "lie"? Perhaps a source inside the DOJ "leaked" it and it is true? Similar to how Bolton's manuscript/book was leaked a few days before and it was 100% accurate


3.  The documents were in a locked room (fbi required lock) and protected by US Secret Service.


They were locked over a year after...they were sitting in unsecured room for how long? Potentially highly sensitive military secrets? You feel comfortable with that?


This does not even come close to the Clinton rule.  She had no management control over what documents were classified or not.  She had more calassified documents in a less secure location.  How does that make you feel about the Clinton's?


You are so far off on this one it's not even funny.


The markings on the documents for Clinton were either


1. Not there


2. Incorrectly marked


With Trump, the markings were CLEAR. There is a formal process for declassifying that would apply the marks on the de-classified documents (so that people would KNOW they are no longer classified). They weren't there. He never followed the process ... But this is how he ran the office. Loose and disorganized. It's why so many people who worked for him either say he's incompetent or just simply not even remotely suited for the office.
