In the Trump indictment the DOJ is not, repeat NOT, arguing a classified documents case. The entire legal framework is centered around documents they define as vital to the defense security of the United States. EVERYTHING is predicated on this 18 U.S. Code § 793(e) violation:
18 U.S. Code § 793 (e) Whoever having unauthorized possession of, access to, or control over any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, or note relating to the national defense, or information relating to the national defense which information the possessor has reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation, willfully communicates, delivers, transmits or causes to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted, or attempts to communicate, deliver, transmit or cause to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted the same to any person not entitled to receive it, or willfully retains the same and fails to deliver it to the officer or employee of the United States entitled to receive it.
According to the Trump indictment, COUNT #7 – page 29, a document “concerning communication with the leader of a foreign country” is considered a classified document in violation of US Code 793, vital to national defense interests.
Do you want a historic example of this exact U.S. Code § 793 violation taking place?

In Joe Biden’s hands are the notes of a phone call, taken by then Vice-President Biden, recording the conversation between Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as recorded on September 11, 2012. [The night of the Benghazi, Libya, attack on the U.S. Consulate]
How is this a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 793 (e)?
See how that works?
Don’t snatch a copy of Aviation Week & Space Technology and give it to your kid.
This stuff was so sensitive they had 30 FBI agents rummaging around.
Now it may go to a jury. Each of the twelve is going to get a TS/SCI clearance in a flash, maybe.
Where did you live Mr. Juror? A whole lot of places over the years. Please give the addresses and dates.
Oh, and employment, every job, with dates. Your old W-2s will be coming in a few weeks.
If the GOPe had any balls they would take the counts and the laws they are associated with and immediately impeach Biden with the exact same laws. As I understand he has over 1,850 classified documents. If it is good for the gander it is good for the goose. He cannot deny he did it. Throw in Burisma and the $5 Million. Watch how fast the side show with Trump ends. If Trump broke the law so did Biden. Also, when discovery happens, I would challenge them to prove he did not declassify each and every document they took, page by page.
That boy, I say, that boy is dumber than a sack of rocks. /Foghorn Leghorn speaking of *46
One can only note that there is NEVER mention of
Barak Obama in any of this coverage and that is how
the deep state wants it.
Not exactly on topic but… Back in 2012 Biden could take notes of a phone conversation. Now, people write notes for him, like “leave podium”.
