    Oh, declassify the documents in question in the case so it can proceed?

    It won’t help, though. This Judge is colluding with the defense. There will just be another excuse. Everything would be declassified for no reason.

    IDK I guess it really doesn’t matter if they’re declassified now since Donald already sold them to foreign adversaries.

      Trump is only being charged with mishandling the documents. If he sold them, that is a much more serious crime and they would have charged him for that instead of just mishandling.

      If the documents really were sold there wouldn’t be a good reason to keep them classified. The worst has already happened. The only thing keeping the documents classified does in that case is hamper the prosecution from pursuing the case.

        How would declassifying not help? How would declassifying not cause the case to be impacted negatively because the case is about classified documents?

              If the accusations were credible they would be in a court rather than on twitter. Countries are constantly trying to uncover the spies of other countries. If russia or any other country is capturing more spies that itself is not evidence of a breach, it could be caused by many other factors.

              It is possible to evaluate the credibility of claims even when those claims are against someone we all hate.
