7. Then why have a Presidential Records Act or anything marked classified?

Each administration's President could remove ALL classified and non-classified documents (including National Security documents, trade negotiation documents, to keep them from future administrations. They could maintain and distribute them as they please, perhaps even destroy them or sell them. There would be no continuity of government.

If so, deny Trump any security briefings now, saying Biden intends, if the country was careless enough to elect Trump, all Government Documents (because currently, by Trump logic, they are his) are Biden's. Biden will keep such information safe and away from Trump until Trump is out of office. Of course this is obviously ridiculous and dangerous, but would be allowed if Cannon rules Trump "owned" everything while in office so was allowed to take everything when he left.
