There is no way for President Trump to have illegal possession of classified material that he accessed when he was President. And that is obviously the only time period he would have had access to such material.
As commander in Chief he has "the buck stops here" authority to declassify anything he wants for any reason he wants. Only he has the final authority to decide if it's ok for him to take it home with him or not.
As a common courtesy it might have become a tradition to check with or even seek approval of certain government agencies before doing so. But if he decides to do it, or not to do it, it's nobody's business but his own.
It's an entirely different matter with Hillary. She wasn't President.
When the election of 2020 is decertified and DJT is found to be the LEGITIMATE President, this will be a moot point because he can retain, as President, whatever he needs to function as President. I thought a list of everything taken has to be provided by the FBI. If it is true that the FBI did not provide a list, this appears then that they violated some law regarding the search. Or did they not provide a list so that they could conveniently plant something in the materials confiscated?
Agreed. But when has logic ever stopped the deep state?
To clarify, I don't believe GEOTUS has or had classified materials in his home in violation of any law. I do, however, believe that is the narrative they will try to foist onto the ever-gullible public.

"Mute" means "unable to speak". The word that you're unable to spell is "moot". (Please look it up.)
Yes that is what I meant-moot. Thanks for catching that!
