And the other documents?
You're ******* liar.
Do presidents have 'the ability to declassify anything'?
The blockbuster article in The Washington Post saying President Donald Trump had "revealed highly classified information
All he has to say is that he declassified them before leaving the White House. Perhaps there is some paperwork that an underling was supposed to submit, but the absence of such (if such forms even exist) doesn't make Trump guilty. Your fishing is going to leave you famished again, billyIQ.

He wasn't. He was cooperating. Which is more than we can say for Obama or Hillary. Trump should have done what they did, bury the documents. Unfortunately, he's too honest and honesty is not what the FBI is about today.He cannot declassify top secret documents unilaterally..

The majority ruling in the 1988 Supreme Court case Department of Navy vs. Egan -- which addressed the legal recourse of a Navy employee who had been denied a security clearance -- addresses this line of authority.
"The President, after all, is the ‘Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States’" according to Article II of the Constitution, the court’s majority wrote. "His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security ... flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President, and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant."
Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of American Scientists Project on Government Secrecy, said that such authority gives the president the authority to "classify and declassify at will."
In fact, Robert F. Turner, associate director of the University of Virginia's Center for National Security Law, said that "if Congress were to enact a statute seeking to limit the president’s authority to classify or declassify national security information, or to prohibit him from sharing certain kinds of information with Russia, it would raise serious separation of powers constitutional issues."
The official documents governing classification and declassification stem from executive orders. But even these executive orders aren’t necessarily binding on the president. The president is not "obliged to follow any procedures other than those that he himself has prescribed," Aftergood said. "And he can change those."
Indeed, the controlling executive order has been rewritten by multiple presidents. The current version of the order was issued by President Barack Obama in 2009.
The national-security experts at the blog Lawfare wrote in the wake of the Post’s revelation that the "infamous comment" by President Richard Nixon -- that "when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal" -- "is actually true about some things. Classified information is one of them. The nature of the system is that the president gets to disclose what he wants."}

Notice Politifraud are contradicting themselves, because they want to change reality to match the political objectives of the Reich.
No they aren't. You just don't know what you are talking about and don't understand the material.
If he was cooperating, he wouldn't have documents at his house fool.
All the Trump trained monkeys are in lock step. Without having any specific information they are claiming their monkey trainer did no wrong. Trump said it himself "“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn’t lose any voters, okay?” Trump said, mimicking firing a gun with his fingers. “It’s, like, incredible.” He loves his trained monkeys. Trump takes advantage of the poor trained monkeys but they do not realize it.
