    The president can declassify documents.

    There’s a process only for certain documents. The president cannot declassify all documents.

    You’re making claims but you aren’t providing anything to back that up. A bit unfortunate.

    You can’t delay a case due to classification issues if the documents are no longer classified

    They are classified for a reason. Further, that’ll destroy the case. I really urge you to read up on this. Plus avoid right wing media.

      If the case needs a jury to make decisions of fact, and the jury is not allowed to see the evidence, you have an unsolvable problem.

      Declassification is a process that takes a known timeframe. It is something the executive branch can do, and because they know which documents they are releasing, they can prepare for the results.

      Juries make their decisions on the facts of the case when the crime occurred. The documents were classified when trump had them. The future status of those documents does not change the facts of the case.

      You are also making claims without evidence or anything to back them up.
