There is a big difference between a classified document and a document containing classified markings. As an example, anyone who has looked at the Carter Page FISA application, made public in July 2018, has reviewed a document containing “classified markings.” When a document is declassified, they do not remove the markings.
You might think this is a one-off use of the “documents with classification markings” lingo, but it’s not. This language is the underpinning of the entire DOJ/FBI framework that predicated the raid on Mar-a-Lago. Specifically, neither NARA nor the DOJ-NSD requested President Trump or his team to return Classified Documents. The DOJ demanded the return of any documents that contained “classified markings.” More
Documents grabbed without any inventory, photos or supervision… no chance of skullduggery here, oh noooooooo!

It is our government so why should anything be classified. Pretty much explains how we got to where we are today.
If whatever the govt wants to do requires keeping it secret from us the people under penalty of law, then the govt ought not to be doing it. Yes, I mean that literally and absolutely.
I can understand and agree with keeping things secret the way businesses have company secrets. But having a whole body of law dedicated to prosecuting and imprisoning people the way things are now is just plain wrong and constitutes gross abuse of power.

Perhaps latter historians will find his minutia helpful. I find it repetitive and tiring.
I find myself not requiring an Illustrative Text of Roller Derby with Concordance and Footnotes to grasp skates and balls.

But that would have appeared concise.
@Lowell — LOL!
