I don't understan this. If the Jan 6 calls log is in the National Archives, how can Whiny object to

releasing them?

Even if classified, as we have seen, a president can classify and declassify anything.

Has any other former president ever objected to releasing of his papers?

During Watergate Nixon tried to shield his communications but this was while still in office.

1. The call logs are not Classified.

From Executive Order 13526

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

Classified national security information is information created or received by an agency of the federal government or a government contractor that would damage national security if improperly released. Since 1940, the President has managed the system of classifying information by executive order (E.O.); the most recent order concerning classified national security information is E.O. 13526, signed by President Obama on December 29, 2009.

Information can only be classified if an official determination is made that its unauthorized release would damage the national security. Levels of classification correspond to levels of supposed damage. E.O. 13526 specifies that information whose release would cause “exceptionally grave damage to the national security” is classified TOP SECRET; information whose release would cause “serious damage” is classified SECRET; CONFIDENTIAL is the lowest category of classified information currently in use. RESTRICTED is an obsolete category that was discontinued in 1953.

Classified information may take any form. Though paper documents are most common, there are classified photographs, maps, motion pictures, videotapes, databases, microfilms, hard drives, CDs, etc. Regardless of medium, classified information requires protection until it is formally declassified.

4. Thank you. Interesting. The point of classified material came, of course with the findings

that many were carried to Margaret Lago.

And one opinion was that a president, in general, can classify and declassify material. I think that it was also discussed during Impeachment I.

5. Next step if classified materials were being discussed

It would not have been on a normal Whitehouse line. It would have been on a secure phone like a Sectera or the like and would not show up in phone logs.

2. He can't classify; he can only declassify.

And now that he's no longer the president he can't even do that. He can object all he wants, but his objection won't go anywhere.

3. Thanks. One would think that an adviser of his - if he still has any - would enlighten him

6. When president Obama was president,

he made the daily visitor logs public information.
