    I forget if it’s one exchange or two, but there’s a transcript where Trump tells someone:

    Hey, check this out, but don’t get too close, it’s classified and you aren’t cleared to see it … You know, when I was president, I could have declassified this, but I didn’t, and now I can’t. That’s pretty funny, right?

    You just get everything in those two statements. Knowledge, intent, showing it to someone you know isn’t cleared.

    I also agree, though. We should restrict how people are allowed to interact with classified documents. They shouldn’t have been in Pence or Biden’s houses at all. It should be the kind of work no one takes home.
