Perhaps not, though the article you linked isn't really relevant to that point. Something doesn't necessarily need to be classified in order to remain governmental property and a Presidential record (like the notes from Kim Jong Un). Certain governmental records are the subject of criminal statutes (like the one I linked to upthread). Other governmental records are simply the property of the government, not the President as an individual, and are required to remain with the government even though they are not classified.
Except that the kerfluffle here is over superdupersecret classified info. I agree with you that a baseball bat and a cocktail napkin aren't that. I would disagree with you in characterizing *either* as government property.
None of that affects his liability for the records that he did take and retain even though they were either classified or related to national defense.
As I said upthread, I find this whole thing really amusing. As you guys build your case against Trump and prepare his jail cell, you're also building one for Hillary! and one for Biden.
