Given there is an obvious inside informant....there is most likely more to come on that. It could be that Trump just stupidly dug in his heels and refused to cooperate.

The FBI can't plant what they don't have access to.

We have a lot of immigrants who come here, but you guys should really learn how our government works.

Bragging rights. Trump has a long history of collecting memorabilia to show off to people he wants to impress.

Provide a link where Trump has publicly stated--while he was in office--that those materials were officially de-classified. If you can't then it never happened.

Shall we follow that logic to its conclusion? The stance seems to be that the documents are now declassified by a process that appears to be "Former Guy decided that they should be so when he had the authority, but didn't tell anyone". If we run with that, the docs are now declassified. Does that mean that the public can get access by filing an FOIA request?

Also, a sitting President may have the authority to declassify military secrets. But there is such a thing as classification by statute, and certain docs - in a particular, those having to do with nuclear technology - fall under that. Bodies appointed by the legislature oversee that process.

Of course, the statutes cited in the warrant has nothing to do with classification levels.

Because the FBI had them. And was put there during their secret search. And of course, we can't have council following us around

And only AFTER he was served and the documents were recovered. Very convenient.

Exactly.

Why did he have any presidential record that should be in NARA this long after he left office whether it was top secret or not?
