docs were declassified as keeping them is still illegal

A former federal prosecutor compared the Justice Department's investigation into former President Donald Trump's possession of classified documents to a narcotics case.

Danya Perry, a former assistant US attorney of the Southern District of New York, told MSNBC's "The Beat" on Wednesday that it doesn't matter whether documents found by the FBI in Trump's Mar-a-Lago home earlier this month were declassified or not because she believed he was still keeping them illegally.

"Even if Trump had attempted to declassify ... Isn't the mere fact that he had these records in his possession from the beginning evidence of his guilt?" the MSNBC anchor Katie Phang asked Perry.

"In some ways, this is like a narcotics case," Perry responded. "If you have it in your possession ... you can argue [that you] didn't realize that white powdery substance was cocaine, but that's a difficult argument. I've never seen that argument succeed."

1. All this discussion about classified materials is important only in the national security context,

but in the legal context it doesn't matter whether they were classified. All papers generated in the WH are government documents that don't belong to TFG. He shouldn't have removed anything from the WH that wasn't already his personal property when he moved in.
