So you’re arguing that Trump - a private citizen at that point - should be able to have thousands of classified documents that he wasn’t allowed to take with him just strewn around his Florida resort … because Clinton?
What the government can never get them back? Some of them were undoubtably originals - it’s not like some of these documents are saved on a dozen USB drives.

Biden needs to win at all cost now, because if he doesn’t. Trump will probably do exactly what Biden is currently doing.
As above, so below;
As within, so without.
Nothing rest; everything moves; everything vibrates.

Link to said “negation?” And what’s to negotiate? He left office Jan. 20 2021 at which point he was required to return all classified documents. The government started trying to get them back at that point and it wasn’t until Aug. 8 2022 that the raid took place. So for over a year and a half he refused to return them - at which point they took them.
So - why didn’t he return them?

Were they classified, or was his memo broadly declassifying everything related to spygate sufficient to declassify them?
Was he not allowed to have them, or did he hassle a right to documents he declassified?
Seems like issues for a court. The problem is, Nara has lost those battles with past presidents. Hence the need to escalate it to a matter of “national security” as justification.
If documents exist that outline weaponization to attack a campaign and president, showing corruption of our agencies (of which we’ve already seen some and most in powers to see them say there are far more egregious things that could be released), do our intel agencies get to just constantly sweep them up in one investigation after another to avoid disclosure? Or hide behind sources and methods to avoid ever admitting how corrupt they are to the American people? To the point where even a former president who declassified the documents must be raided and attempt to jail him over it?

Part 3. Declassification and Downgrading
Sec. 3.1. Authority for Declassification.
(a) Information shall be declassified as soon as it no longer meets the standards for classification under this order.
(b) It is presumed that information that continues to meet the classification requirements under this order requires continued protection. In some exceptional cases, however, the need to protect such information may be outweighed by the public interest in disclosure of the information, and in these cases the information should be declassified. When such questions arise, they shall be referred to the agency head or the senior agency official. That official will determine, as an exercise of discretion, whether the public interest in disclosure outweighs the damage to the national security that might reasonably be expected from disclosure. This provision does not:
(1) amplify or modify the substantive criteria or procedures for classification; or
(2) create any substantive or procedural rights subject to judicial review.
(c) If the Director of the Information Security Oversight Office determines that information is classified in violation of this order, the Director may require the information to be declassified by the agency that originated the classification. Any such decision by the Director may be appealed to the President through the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. The information shall remain classified pending a prompt decision on the appeal.
