Documents

The Florida case against Trump for removing classified documents was dismissed today. This brings up questions about classified documents in general. These documents can be reviewed by government officials but they must remain in a secured area. Back in the Clinton Administration Sandy Berger pleaded guilty to removing classified documents from the SKIFF(sensitive compartmented information facility). The sitting president can remove classified documents because the president has the power to de classify documents. If any president decided to use classified information for personal gain he would just make a copy and return the originals to the archives. All presidents leave office with classified information in their memory and this information could be used for personal gain. The president is in a class by himself when it comes to handling these documents.
