You have no idea whether that happened, and of course there would be nothing wrong with it if it did.

They are COPIES.


So there is no "stealing" or "giving back".

Oh, is that the latest attempt at justification?

Also, you can absolutely steal copies of things, theft doesn't require the item to be the original or only example.

First, the notion that de-classifying documents involves magical powers is silly. The President simply de-classifies anything he wants, any time he wants, any way he wants, whether by thought, word, or deed. Nothing magical about that.

Second, the classification scheme doesn't apply to anyone outside the executive branch, so"re-classification" would have no effect on Trump or his right to keep documents he had de-classified.

Eh no. There are rights and there are protocols. You can jump into a car and drive it any time and place, but you need a license and insurance to be legal.

All those agencies work for the President.

If this is the latest and greatest charge the Dems can come up with to try and take down Trump, they'll be sorely disappointed. Nobody is going to jail over how these documents were stored just as nobody went to jail when Hillary had TS documents stored on her laptop.
