Can you innocently store them with your Corvette?

  When I got my clearance, it was made very clear to me: If I take them home or store them with my Corvette or have them on my email server, I'm going to jail.

    If you're POTUS or authorized by the POTUS things are different since they are the classification authority.

      There is still process you have to follow. Being president doesn't magically make you immune to rules and process. No, trump could not just "think they are declassified and they are", and that's not how it works, and he knew that.

        Well, it really does work that way. The classification stems from a series of executive orders [1] which long post-date things such as the Espionage Act. The thing is that Biden is the president not Trump so Biden could declassify everything at Mar-a-lago but Trump can't.

    Politicians don't sign any NDAs to get their clearances; they have a separate process. This is why they're so willing to leak things as they don't actually suffer any repercussions (besides electability).
