A process that affects national security. You think that's not important?
The documents were declassified.
If there was an urgent threat to national security, number one, the FBI had access. Two, why was the raid delayed and given a time allowance (of, what, a week?) to be executed.

You have this really simplistic view of how things get declassified. It's not just like telling your secretary to make a correction to a typo on an interoffice memo or something like that.

They are to be handled as classified documents until they are remarked as declassified.
Curious as to your reliable source of news. Care to share?
I’be done so several times before. Reuters, AP, ABC, Al Jazeera, BBC, C-SPAN if video is available, CBS, NBC. I also use Yahoo and USA Today for headlines since they are aggregate sites that run articles without sorting them.
I also scan Fox and Breitbart to get a different perspective.
I do not use CNN, Wikipedia, HuffPost, Daily Beast, RawStory, or any other noticeably left site, since they are not accurate. Ditto Gateway Pundit, Zerohedge, Newsmax, OAN, Daily Mail, Washington Examiner, NY Post, or Washington Times on the right.

Not since Hilary exposed top secret and special access documents, no, apparently not.
Oh, and BTW, Trump did possess the authority to declassify ANY document he may have removed, Hilary did not possess any such authority, and yet she exposed dozens on her servers, her devices, and all of the people she illegally e-mailed classified documents to.
Including Hilary's aid, the wife of Anthony Wiener, since he had classified documents on his laptop, e-mailed by Hilary. Security of classified material was not important back then, cuz NO ONE went to prison or was even slapped on the wrist for the total incompetence in mishandling all of those documents.

This was explained in the news earlier this week. The FBI deliberately waited until Trump left Mar-a-lago for NJ so that they could go there and get what they were looking for without having to confront him and risk making a big scene about the whole thing. Furthermore it's not terribly unusual for raids to occur some number of days after a warrant is issued, because the FBI and other law enforcement agencies often have to wait for the timing to be right to make a successful raid. That was the case here, too.
