He might hope that, claiming that they were declassified lessens any charges. Much less serious to have declassified documents at his home than classified ones.

But, it looks like his idea is that, once he declassified them, they became "general" documents that he was entitled to take with him. That interpretation of his intent about the declassified documents claim is not mine. I got it from the Midas Touch.

It's just the usual Trump obfuscation, delay, and gaslighting.

I believe that a complete investigation will turn up solid evidence that Trump gave highly classified documents to nations like Russia and Saudi Arabia.
