Now, I'm not a legal expert, and the part about just thinking about it is kinda sketchy, but it has nothing to do with reality. He's 100% correct that the president, any president, can declassify anything simply by saying that it's declassified. Unlike lower echelon people, they do not have to fill out forms each time they declassify something. A simple verbal command is all it takes. They (a president) are the ultimate authority about what is or isn't classified.
Several people have already testified that when he was president he issued a standing verbal order that anything that was removed from the WH by him, or his staff to give to him, was automatically declassified. That being the case, anything in those boxes (which were packed by WH staffers) were automatically declassified as soon as they left the WH.
This is nothing more than another witch hunt, timed to coincide with the midterm elections to make Trump and the GOP look bad. Just another Democrap trick. We've seen and heard it all before. "Move along folks, nothing to see here".......
