You've obviously never been around classified material.
The President's ability to declassify anything he wants is not dependent on anyone else or their situation....

Never said he couldn't declassify anything he wanted to. I said that if he did declassify something, all the agencies that also have that information need to know that it has been declassified. Without the information of the declassification being done by Trump, the documents are still classified, and no change has happened.
Not how it works. Information is either classified or it is not.Except for documents in Trump's possession. Those are declassified no matter what the documents in the hands of other people may be considered.

Why is he about to be indicted if it was done by the Book?LOL, so it turns out TRUMP's removal of documents was done "BY THE BOOK"...

It all boils down to telling someone. Let’s shift a bit.
The Constitution says that the President has the power of Pardons and Commutations. There is nothing in it that says this Pardon must be a letter or form. It just says the President has the power.
Ok. So what would you say if Trump claimed that a man shouldn’t have been executed because he was pardoned? Trump didn’t communicate it to anyone in the scenario.
A little silly. Sure. But when the Judge doing the Special Master duties asked for clarification on claims of declassification of the documents the Trump legal team was silent. They didn’t respond. Why not?
Why didn't they simply call him? Instead, they sent armed gestapo...when they had already seen the records, asked them to put a lock on the door, then months later, raided the place......this was a scam, and everyone who isn't a biden voter knows it.

Where is that required?Sorry, but if there was no follow up (meaning his aides needed to let everyone else holding the information contained in the documents that it was declassified), there was never any declassification. Trump simply saying that the did it without any follow up isn't how things are done.
Where is that required?
Hint: No procedures are established, so .....
Again. You have to tell someone.
Let’s say you as a Naval Man discover that a chart for a harbor has an underwater obstruction mismarked. It is not where the chart says. You notice this but keep quiet. The next day a ship runs aground there. Lots of damage. Lots of problems.
You have to tell someone.
But you say there is no procedure. Ok. Actually there is. Unclassified documents are subject to Freedom of Information Act requests. Even Classified Documents are to some extent.
So if the documents in Trump’s possession were declassified, and not released, that is illegal isn’t it?
Where is the requirement that he tells someone?
Who requested them from him under the FOIA?
Thank you for your post Mr. MOTO!#1 FPOTUS has refused to claim in court that he actually declassified documents, when specifically asked for such a submission by Judge Dearie - his lawyers refused to make the claim.
#2 Classified documents are not FOIA'able and in addition Presidential Records are not FOIA'able for 5 years after the FPOTUS's term end per Federal law.
