    I believe it's a good bet you're a critic of higher education elsewhere, so you should not be drawing on the expertise of a professor. Or should I say "expertise".

    Logically maybe so, but if Drumpf is declassifying documents without even knowing what they are then he's still grossly negligent and unfit for office. But we already knew that.

    I can just see Drumpf now, tiny hands in the air, saying to a box across the room, "I declassify you... whatever you are!"

    the question is whether baby handed fat Donnie waved them tinies b4 or after out of office. I think we all know the answer to that.

    a real man (or strong man if you like) has no need to play the victim, EVER.

    fat D plays the victim on every f...in occasion.

    must have to do with his small hands.

    This be true. He does whine a lot. Hell, he was whining about the elections while he was POTUS before there were elections.

    Nobody denied that he has the authority, question is did he actually order any declassification.

    Just show us the order and problem solved.

    Your same source weighed in on the current investigation:

    https://www.politifact.com/article/2022/aug/11/could-trump-argue-declassified-documents/

    Could Trump argue that he declassified certain documents in private, while president? That is not how the system is designed to work.

    "Merely proclaiming a document or group of documents declassified and doing nothing more would not suffice," Bradley Moss, a Washington, D.C.-based lawyer who works on national security cases, told PolitiFact.

    Follow-through is required.

    "He had to identify the specific documents he was declassifying, he needed to memorialize the order in writing for bureaucratic and historical purposes, and he needed to have staff physically modify the classification markings on the documents themselves," Moss said. "Until that was done, the documents, per the security classification procedures, still have to be handled, transmitted and stored as if they were classified."

    Tom Blanton, director of the National Security Archive at George Washington University, agreed.

    "If the documents are still marked classified 18 months after their removal from the White House," Blanton told PolitiFact, "then Trump was too busy to order them declassified at the time."
