1. TFG knows all about the classifieds.

He posted in them for years under various pseudonyms.

2. No problem

TFG just waved his little hand and declassified them on the spot.

At least that's what I expect we'll hear is the excuse.

5. This is from the link...

"Some of the White House documents that Donald Trump improperly took to his Mar-a-Lago residence were clearly marked as classified, including documents at the “top secret” level, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The existence of clearly marked classified documents in the trove — which has not previously been reported — is likely to intensify the legal pressure that Trump or his staffers could face, and raises new questions about why the materials were taken out of the White House."

Vlad already has copies from Donald and Jared.

Jared used his security clearance as a license to sell our country's secrets.

13. Point of Order

"Classified" is not a document Marking.

https://www.archives.gov/isoo/policy-documents/cnsi-eo.html

(a) Information may be classified at one of the following three levels:

(1) ‘‘Top Secret’’ shall be applied to information, the unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security that the original classification authority is able to identify or describe.
(2) ‘‘Secret’’ shall be applied to information, the unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to cause serious damage to the national security that the original classification authority is able to identify or describe.
(3) ‘‘Confidential’’ shall be applied to information, the unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to cause damage to the national security that the original classification authority is able to identify or describe.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by statute, no other terms shall be used to identify United States classified information.
(c) If there is significant doubt about the appropriate level of classification,
it shall be classified at the lower level.
