The National Archives, which is controlled by a hard leftist cadre, very excitedly announced that President Donald Trump took classified information with him when he left the White House. The problem—which the AP reluctantly concedes—is that, as President, he had the final say over what’s classified. That means that there’s no hypocrisy in his reaming Hillary Clinton for her conduct.
As a predicate, the National Archives management has turned that government office into a purely leftist entity determined to advance all leftist causes, including destroying Donald Trump. Recently, it was caught stating that the U.S. Constitution and all of America’s other founding documents contain “harmful content.” Why? Because they have “racist,

National Archives isn't interested because the documents may/may not have been classified. They are interested in having a complete historical record. However, I figured this was another first-grader-tattling "Ah-mmm, Look what HE did!" effort when they kept reporting that the documents were marked "classified."
No document is marked CLASSIFIED. They are classified and are marked CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET or TOP SECRET. (Sorry about the caps, but that's how they are marked - in caps, in red, in a font size larger than the size used in the document. That's the basic marking; there are elaborations.)
If Trump, or the Office of the President, classified the documents, then they are they ones to unclassify them. I suspect these are personal papers, which when he was president, would be deemed classified, but have now been "overcome by events" - the event being Trump is no longer president. (Yeah, yeah, I know.)
I personally have destroyed documents marked SECRET without seeing any downgrade or declassification instructions for them. I did this in the 1990s while cleaning out old files. The documents were an annex to a pre-WW2 contingency plan for invading Iceland. (The military has a contingency plan for everything.) Again, overcome by events.
How this article does answer how Sandy "Burgler" was able to smuggle still-classified Clinton-era stuff out of the National Archives.

The propaganda media blare the lies and ignore the retraction, and fedgov top to bottom is run by radical Marxists eager to see this nation destroyed, and who with minimal resistance are doing a very good job of it. And the TV audience parrots back, "Orange Man Bad."

#1, Yeah, I remember that too, so I looked it up. Sandy Berger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Berger#Unauthorized_removal_and_destruction_of_classified_material
Bush basically did nothing other than a slap on the wrist.

The Left HATES the Bible and the mere thought that God provided a Code of Morality to mankind contained in the Torah. Recently the Left has decided to create their own Morality Code, totally unrelated to the Holy Scripture:
---------
The Humanist 10 +1 Commandments
#1 You shall have NO belief in God, unless it's really whacked out and in no way related to Judeo-Christianity
#2 You shall make Idols of famous leftist actors, sports players, expensive cars, anything you admire or covet
#3 You shall never Say the "N-word", unless you are black, and then it's OK
#4 You shall never Deny "Darwinian Evolution", it's proven science
#5 You shall never Deny "Man-caused Climate Change" as proven science ; (yep, it used to be called "Global Warming" but had to "evolve" because the climate wasn't cooperating)
#6 You shall never Commit or even be accused of "Racism", lest you be stoned to death by left-wing media and cancelled by big-socials
#7 You shall not Obey antiquated, 'Victorian' Moral Codes, In other words, "Do what you want"
#8 You shall not Deny that Homosexuality, Lesbianism, Transsexuality is 'Normal', and you shall never quote the Bible, ever!
#9 You shall not Deny that Homosexuals can create a normal environment for raising* children (*I'll refrain from using the proper term "rearing" for obvious reasons)
#10 You shall not Deny that White People have caused all the world's human suffering in the last 3,000 years
#11 You shall not Believe that the United States is the Greatest Country in the World, or of the last 200 years.

Normal Demon-Rat deception.
1) Say a lie.
2) The lie gets printed in 6" letters on the front page of every lie-beral rag sheet in the MSM.
3) Wait a few days until it's proven to be a lie.
4) Print a retraction in tiny letters at the bottom of page H-42 of those same MSM rag sheets.
Damage done, but the MSM can still claim that they were "fair" because they printed a retraction.
To Demon-Rats, the ends justify the means. Lie, cheat, steal, even kill -- as long as it gets and keeps power for the Demon-Rats!!! Nothing new here at all for the Demon-Rats or their slave minions in the MSM!!!
