He didn't have his people either memorialize that determination or to stamp the documents as "unclassified" as required.
As I said, there is a process that has to be followed, and Trump didn't follow it.
Had he done so, his staff around him would have been aware of it. It would have been put into the presidential records, and the documents would have been marked.
In addition the agency that classified the documents would have been notified of the new classification status of the documents.

Then post to "me" the relevant parts of those articles that answered the question of why they didn't release the information.
What was stopping them, since Trump told them he was declassifying all of "crossfire hurricane"

The state department read the contents of the Clinton emails, and from the words, not the markings, determined their classification, and retroactively applied that classification to them.
22 Hillary Clinton emails declared 'top secret' by State Dept.
It's the first time State has formally deemed any of Clinton's emails classified at that level.

“These documents were not marked classified at the time they were sent,” Kirby said in a statement. He said State is still looking into whether they should have been considered classified at the time they were created.
State did not provide details on the subjects of the messages, which represent seven email chains and a total of 37 pages. State spokesman John Kirby said they are part of a set the intelligence community inspector general told Congress contained information that was classified because it dealt with Special Access Programs.

Clinton's Handling of Classified Information - FactCheck.org
An FBI investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified information resulted in no criminal charges, but it revealed that Clinton and her campaign made past statements that have turned out to be false or misleading.

Josh Dunn, a political science professor at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, described a U.S. president’s power to declassify documents as “pretty extraordinary.”
“The general rule is the president has the authority to declassify material,” Dunn said.
Dunn’s claim is backed up by a 1988 Supreme Court of The United States’ majority ruling in a case between the Department of Navy vs. Egan. The case addressed the legal recourse of a U.S. Navy employee who had been denied a security clearance.
An excerpt from the Supreme Court’s ruling in that case reads thus, “The President, after all, is the ‘Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States.’ U.S. Const., Art. II, 2. His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security and to determine whether an individual is sufficiently trustworthy to occupy a position in the Executive Branch that will give that person access to such information flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the president and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant.”
The president’s power to classify and declassify documents is so broad and absolute that even The United States Congress can not make laws to limit it, according to Robert F. Turner, associate director of the University of Virginia’s Center for National Security Law. Turner said this while responding to a news report on The Washington Post that suggested Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador during a White House meeting in May 2017.
“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,” Turner said.
Turner also noted that the president is, in fact, the ultimate decider of what is classified and not and that he has the power to overrule his appointees if they disagree with his actions regarding declassification.
“Within the Executive Branch the president is the boss,” Turner added.

So, according to John you can send information to anyone in the world and then they can classify it. Makes sense.

This is where Trumps lack of government knowledge comes in.
Whether running his company, or on "the apprentice", all Trump had to do was utter the words "You're fired".
In government there's paperwork involved in order to actually fire someone.
Same with declassifying information. Or pardoning people. Or making a presidential proclamation (EO).
