He writes or receives a letter to/from a world leader. He wants documents for his library. He doesn't want the next administration to bury some documents.


All of these are valid reasons to declassify documents and take them with you.


Everyone keeps forgetting it doesn't matter if they were classified or not, they were declassified when he took them with him.

So you are saying he would declassify top secret documents in order to put them in his library?  Or that he doesn't want the next administration to bury a document that is already classified top secret?  

Is that the best you can do?

Surely someone can come up with a more plausible reason as to why a President would declassify top secret documents and take them home with him when he leaves office.  I'm just asking for a hypothetical situation.  No one has to admit that Trump did it.  Just give me a plausible reason why any President would want to do that.
