    Juries make decisions on the facts of the case when the crime occurs. Declassifying the documents now does not change the facts of the case as the documents were classified when the crime occurred.

    Keeping the documents classified is an issue because they are evidence, and juries can’t do their job if they are not allowed to see the evidence.

    Declassifying documents is a process with a known timeframe. The jury issue isn’t.
