Trump's lawyers say he used his authority to declassify those documents before he left office, but there are pretty strict procedures for doing that.  The President doesn't get to just wave his hand and pronounce them "declassified."  I guess we'll find out if those documents were declassified or not.

DrudgeReport has a great headline: "Feds Hunt Stolen Nuke Docs" with a picture of Trump and a nuclear bomb going off in the background.  You have to laugh at that level of sensationalism.

Actually no.  He can wave his hand.

It's not like the president has unilateralauthority to determine classification status.  

This is actually an even greater example of media power than state authority.  They are going to push thus blatantly false narrative right through  grand jury.  

It'd be beautiful if it wasn't nihilistic orwelian propaganda.
