That’s Declassified. (9.23.22)
(1) A President Has Absolute Authority To Declassify Documents. Under the U.S. Constitution, the President is vested with the highest level of authority when it comes to the classification and declassification of documents.
See U.S. Const., Art. II, § 2 (The President (is] Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States[.]"), His constitutionally based authority regarding the classification and declassification of documents is unfettered.
See Navyv. Egan, 484 U.S. 518, 527 (1988) ("[The President's] authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security .. .flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant.").
(2) Presidential Actions Involving Classified Documents Are Not Subject To Criminal Sanction. Any attempt to impose criminal liability on a President or former President that involves his actions with respect to documents marked classified would implicate grave constitutional separation-of-powers issues. Beyond that, the primary criminal statute that governs the unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material does not apply to the President. That statute provides, in pertinent part, as follows:
Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both. materials at an unauthorized 18 U.S.C. § 1924(a). An element of this offense, which the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt, is that the accused is "an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States."
The President is none of these. See Free Enter. Fund v. Pub. Co. Acct. Oversight Bd., 561 U.S. 477, 497-98 (2010) (citing U.S. Const., Art. I, § 2, cl. 2) (*"The people do not vote for the Officers of the United States."); see also Melcher v. Fed. Open Mkt. Comm., 644 F. Supp. S10, 518-19 (D.D.C. 1986), affd, 836 F.2d 561 (D.C. Cir. 1987) ("[aln officer of the United States can only be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, or by a court of law, or the head of a department. A person who does not derive his position from one of these sources is not an officer of the United States in the sense of the Constitution."). Thus, the statute does not apply to acts by a President.”

“Was the Federal Bureau of Investigation justified in searching Donald Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago?

What constitutes a valid search warrant?
“A valid search warrant must meet four requirements: (1) the warrant must be filed in good faith by a law enforcement officer; (2) the warrant must be based on reliable information showing probable cause to search; (3) the warrant must be issued by a neutral and detached magistrate; and (4) the warrant must state specifically the place to be searched and the items to be seized.”

“We know Obama kept classified documents when he left the White House because the NSC wouldn’t fulfill a request to turn over Susan Rice’s unmasking documents that were moved to Obama’s library.”
“The fact that they could not be easily obtained indicates they were classified.”
“We also know that Obama refused to keep hard copies in his library – everything was to be digitized. Also, no archivists were there to oversee the digitization of Obama’s documents while he was President. So there is no way to tell whether Obama didn’t have classified documents in the materials he took with him after his corrupt presidency.”
“We also know that at that time The New York Times reported that the National Archives is not overseeing Obama’s library. The Times published the following:
“And the entire complex, including the museum chronicling Mr. Obama’s presidency, will be run by the foundation, a private nonprofit entity, rather than by the National Archives and Records Administration, the federal agency that administers the libraries and museums for all presidents going back to Herbert Hoover.”

“Almost all the media coverage of this controversy has ignored or downplayed the dismal failure of the Presidential Records Act to reveal presidents’ records.

You often have to wait years for requested documents, and this appears to be no exception.”
“But journalists should be outraged by this perpetual stonewalling. Barack and Michelle Obama collected a $65 million advance for their memoirs, but Americans are still effectively prohibited from seeing his official records.”

However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act, Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.’

“…the @USGSA, not Trump or anyone working for him in the White House, packed the boxes that the FBI took in Monday’s raid.”

The Mar-a-Lago storage facility met GSA standards for EVEN classified documents:
“Safeguarding Classified Information.” Section 5-302, TOP SECRET Storage says, “TOP SECRET material shall be stored in a GSA-approved security container, an approved vault, or an approved closed area with supplemental controls.”

The FBI also approved security at
Mar-a-Lago storage facility.
“In early June, the DOJ and FBI asked my legal representatives to put an extra lock on the door leading to the place where boxes were stored in Mar-a-Lago – We agreed.”

“The official who triggered the federal probe into former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents opted against doing the same concerning Hillary Clinton's email scandal.”

“Was the Federal Bureau of Investigation justified in searching Donald Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago? The judge who issued the warrant for Mar-a-Lago has signaled that he is likely to release a redacted version of the affidavit supporting it. But the warrant itself suggests the answer is likely no—the FBI had no legally valid cause for the raid.”

“…the government is opposing even modest disclosures from the court while it has steadily leaked details to its own advantage. It undermines the credibility of the government and raises questions of the motivations behind the absolute secrecy claims.”

What constitutes a valid search warrant?
“A valid search warrant must meet four requirements: (1) the warrant must be filed in good faith by a law enforcement officer; (2) the warrant must be based on reliable information showing probable cause to search; (3) the warrant must be issued by a neutral and detached magistrate; and (4) the warrant must state specifically the place to be searched and the items to be seized.”

“Prior to the FBI's raid on Trump's estate, a string of whistleblowers had come forward with accusations of political bias against senior FBI officials. The Washington Field Office, which sent the agents to Florida to raid Trump's estate, was facing its own set of allegations.”

“Tim Thibault — FBI Washington Field Office Assistant Special Agent in Charge — was escorted from bureau premises on Friday (we covered the story here).

“We know Obama kept classified documents when he left the White House because the NSC wouldn’t fulfill a request to turn over Susan Rice’s unmasking documents that were moved to Obama’s library.”
“The fact that they could not be easily obtained indicates they were classified.”
“We also know that Obama refused to keep hard copies in his library – everything was to be digitized. Also, no archivists were there to oversee the digitization of Obama’s documents while he was President. So there is no way to tell whether Obama didn’t have classified documents in the materials he took with him after his corrupt presidency.”
“We also know that at that time The New York Times reported that the National Archives is not overseeing Obama’s library. The Times published the following:
“And the entire complex, including the museum chronicling Mr. Obama’s presidency, will be run by the foundation, a private nonprofit entity, rather than by the National Archives and Records Administration, the federal agency that administers the libraries and museums for all presidents going back to Herbert Hoover.”

“Almost all the media coverage of this controversy has ignored or downplayed the dismal failure of the Presidential Records Act to reveal presidents’ records. A Washington Post analysis of the dispute on the 30 million pages conceded, “As with many issues of government transparency and document-sharing, it’s true that this is not great! You often have to wait years for requested documents, and this appears to be no exception.”
“But journalists should be outraged by this perpetual stonewalling. Barack and Michelle Obama collected a $65 million advance for their memoirs, but Americans are still effectively prohibited from seeing his official records.”

“…the media hid information about the frequent unmasking of Donald Trump allies, including Gen. Flynn, by Susan Rice. By the end of the year, all her records were hidden and unreachable in the Obama Presidential Library.”
“Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Obama Presidential Library. You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act, Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.’
