JUST IN: Special Master Dearie has asked Trump's team for declarations about any acftions he's taken to declassify material. Trump's team says i n a filing tonight that it is resisting that request because it could be a defense to any criminal cahrges. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763.97.0.pdf

(7,288 posts)Let's have, say, a reporter file a FOIA request for the documents. If they're declassified, they should be available, even if they're part of an ongoing legal proceeding. They would, after all, be public, right?

OilemFirchen
(7,288 posts)or agrees that, despite no evidence, these documents have been declassified, a FOIA request will ultimately put the issue to rest.
At least that's how it appears to this layperson.

(22,653 posts)Until a classified document is notated with a lesser security designation, or notated as unclassified, then that document remains at its notated classification, no matter what tfg says.
Therefore, none of them were declassified.
Nevilledog
(55,082 posts)The classification/declassification distinction is a nothingburger. Classification has no bearing on the offenses listed in the search warrant.
I know you know that, I was just adding to your thought.

Lol. Last time I checked, this whole fubar was magat's idea. So, never mind.
EndlessWire
(8,103 posts)Oct 7th! And T**** wants to stretch it out to Nov. 30th. And, they don't want to tell the SM how the docs got declassified! Because they want to save it for a defense argument!
It's just crazy. They were the ones who wanted a Special Master! What, they're embarrassed that T**** waved his weeny over them and declared them his property? Or, don't they have an answer!
The one thing I noted is they are expecting to be handed copies of the classified docs. Oh, really. Don't stay up nights waiting for it, Fellas.
Can you believe this crap? If I were Dearie, I'd be pissed.

ThoughtCriminal
(14,721 posts)I don't think Trump's lawyers - for obvious reasons - made the claim in their filing.
As far as I know, it has only been claimed by Trump and some of his allies in media bites.

(179,008 posts)It's sort of a catch-22 situation, though Spanky sucks at such sleight of hand. Clearly, he wants it both ways with Dearie running around in circles.
