"The whole point of the raid was to go get Trump's DECLASSIFIED personal copies of the Crossfire Hurricane records— that was the REAL reason." pic.twitter.com/0KDYnLFpAF
Legal Check: True.

By sending his records to Mar-A-Lago, Trump declassified and made them "personal" under the Presidential Records Act.
Like Bill Clinton did, per 2012 Obama judge ruling, when he put 8 years of highly classified recordings of his presidency in his sock drawer. pic.twitter.com/1sNQTvIqoZ
ICYMI from January 2021:

Trump declassified these Crossfire Hurricane records.
He may have legally declared a copy as “personal,” under the Presidential Records Act.
These records could be very damaging to Biden, Obama, and Hillary.
Hence, the unprecedented and unlawful raid? pic.twitter.com/7Do0Wnx87e
It was legal for Bill Clinton to have highly classified recordings in his sock drawer.

And legal for Obama to have highly classified records in an unsecured storage unit.
But it’s (somehow) illegal for Trump to have his (declassified) records in the Office of Former President?
1. So President Trump declassified (very) politically damaging records on Obama and Biden?
— 🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸 (@mrddmia) August 13, 2022
2. Then Attorney General Merrick Garland sent his FBI raid brigade to go retrieve them from Mar-a-Lago? https://t.co/Pil5xU58ex
Again, the classification statutes/regulations *do not apply* to the President of the United States.

He has the inherent constitutional power, as commander-in-chief, to classify and declassify anything he wants, in any manner he wants.
The Supreme Court reaffirmed this in 1987. https://t.co/bANCEhBTT1
Presidents have the inherent constitutional (and statutory) authority to declassify anything they want.

They don’t need to label it.
They don’t need to report it.
They don’t have to tell anyone.
They can do it through their actions.
As a matter of law, no President can be charged under the Espionage Act for “mishandling” classified records.
— 🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸 (@mrddmia) August 11, 2022
When President Trump had the records sent to Mar-a-Lago, they were declassified.
Former presidents don’t have this power.
But Trump did this as the President.

Former presidents don’t have this power.
But Trump did this as the President.
As discussed, the Office of Former President Trump—like every other former president’s federal office—is equipped and secure enough to handle these declassified records.

This is a routine dispute with bureaucrats at the National Archives whether these are presidential records.
If they’re presidential records, the National Archives “owns” them—but they’ll almost certainly stay with Trump in his presidential library.
— 🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸 (@mrddmia) August 11, 2022
That’s it.
That’s the bureaucratic dispute.
This isn’t some damn raid-able crime.
Attorney General Merrick Garland knows this.
IMPEACH
