Whatever anybody thinks about the FBIs actions at Mar-a-Lago, can we all agree that Donald Trumps claim that there was a standing order that said whatever he brought to his Florida residence was automatically declassified is patently absurd?
Consider all the times that Trump was at Mar-a-Lago during his presidency and worked out of there. Are we to believe that each and every document he brought with him there, no matter how sensitive, was immediately declassified and thus widely available for people to see?
If this ridiculous policy were actually even true, it would raise a different set of serious questions about Trumps recklessness in handling sensitive documents.
Again, lets debate whether it was FBI overreach to take the extraordinary step of searching a former presidents home. But questioning FBI actions does not require taking everything Trump says at face value.
