>>137758454Anon, for all we know the DoJ is straight up lying about how Trump was allowed to declassify those documents.
Remember, he had them under lock and key, as per the DoD's orders, so he clearly went through some channels to follow proper procedure.
Why would trump take classified documents, have a direct liason with the DoD about those documents and basically not use them at all if they were so damning to the country? It makes little sense, most Presidents take classified documents when they are directly linked to themselves.
