    It is my understanding that the statues that he’s being charged under do not depend on the classification of the documents. The problem is that the documents belonged to the government and were not returned upon multiple requests. Therefore, even if the documents were declassified, which they were not, the same charges could still be brought against him.

      Agreed, what I’m saying is these notes apply to state of mind. He knew he was acting illegally and did it anyway.
