Type A: Documents that could lead to war with another Nation.
Type B: Documents that prove the Government is involved in high crimes against its People's interests.
The only reason the Government would withhold documents from the People, WHOM THEY SERVE, is to avoid going to war.
If Trump did, in fact, have classified documents in his keeping, even nuclear...
I highly doubt they were deemed "classified" to avoid war with foreign nations.
Let's face it, Trump is a Peacemaker.
He's started a War (or rather, is finishing one) with the DeepState Cabal in order to END their countless Wars against Humanity. They're the ones trying to get us into WW3 with Russia and giving Ukraine enough arms and money to take out the Mexican Drug Cartels.
Nope.
I'm convinced that the documents, indeed if there are any, are classified because the details therein would mean the People would have to go to war with their Criminal Government, not with any single foreign power.
There is fundamentally no other reason documents need to be classified other than to A: Stop an international War or B: Protect Criminals.
This is why we MUST have DECLAS.
Transparency is the only way.
Your are right. The main reason they classify docs is to protect their own asses from their corruption, that if revealed, could start wars - not just foreign, but also with the people of the US.
My understanding is that, according to Kash Patel, all the docs that Trump possessed had been previously declassified by Trump before he left. Even though other presidents have taken classified docs with them when they left the WH, and are hiding them using Presidential Library provisions, Trump knew he would not be able to do that. These docs were no secret to anyone. That is why Haberman was losing her mind saying Trump was flushing docs down the toilet. Trump knew they would make issue over them, and they have. Sounds like the perfect trap to me. We shall see.
