“Former President Trump taking nuclear, military documents would be a national security risk, say 80 percent of respondents in a new CBS News/YouGov poll.”

Bullshit. Even Trump admitted on a secretly recorded tape that he could have declassified them when he was president but he hadn’t done it and it was too late after he left office.
Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… To quote a former AND CURRENT Trumpiteer - DUMP TRUMP

As the above said, President Trump has admitted on recording hat he did not and at the time could no longer declassify the documents.
Now, let us think about this critically. I accepted them and now that HRC email scandal was not a crime. However, I did not approve of her handling those emails. The scandals helped to convince enough voters she was not fit for office.
Let us assume President Trump in his discretion and power as President had properly declassified these alleged nuclear and Iran documents for his own reasons, and took them to his glorified golf course to show to whoever he wanted. He could have certainly legally done do. However, the kind of Person who would use the discretionary power of the President in such a manner should not be a serious candidate for re-election.
Wherefore, the false excuse of declassification should upset all and be disqualifying at the ballot box.
Yet, in this era of the New Right, such use of Presidential Power is just fine.
Now, the above is rather academic as President Trump never declassified one piece of paper.

Maybe he just thought about it and assumed that declassified them….

Just as I have been saying, Trump Trump Trump, but when others that have D behind their name do similar or same stuff, it's OK. Or as the msm says "a nothing-burger". I don't really remember calling for HRC's head at the time. (by the left)
Sorry, articles from rightwing media from 2016 (seven years ago) don't support your argument.
The difference between Hillary's situation and Trump's has been explained to you, simply, and you're too pig-headed to either accept or rebut the explanation. You seem to think that for every Republican who's indicted, a Democrat should be too, just to even things out. That's not how our legal system works.
All you're doing is repeating yourself.

Former Military Personnel Tried, Found Guilty, and Sentenced to Prison for illegal handling documents. However, only President Trump is a target.
Tell me again why President Trump is any different.
Two weeks ago, a federal judge sentenced Robert Birchum, a former Air Force lieutenant colonel, to three years in jail for removing hundreds of secret documents from their authorized locations and storing them in his home and officer’s quarters.
In April, a judge sentenced Jeremy Brown, a former member of U.S. Special Forces, to more than seven years in prison partly for taking a classified report home with him after he retired. The report contained sensitive intelligence, including about an informant in another country.
In 2018, Nghia Hoang Pho received a five-and-a-half year sentence for storing National Security Agency documents at his home. Prosecutors emphasized that Pho was aware he was not supposed to have taken the documents.
