So there are very strict rules about where Special Intelligence (SI) can be stored and how it is to be handled.  The sheer mass of such information generated on a daily basis makes such a system as you propose to be laughingly unworkable.  Goofy, in your Coastie days did you carry an SI clearance?  Been in a SCIF?  Ever been to the basement of the NSA headquarters buildng at Fort Meade, MD?  If you had you wouldn't even try to suggest such a system would be effective or even workable.  Ever been to a listening site?  Seen the product of their skilled translatons of what is being said?  Ever been on an Italian Navy ship cruising around in the Medierranean, outfitted with a large fiberglass shell housing multiple antennas and the receivers and skilled linguists to go with them?  If you had done any of that you would know how sophomoric your suggestion would be.  

To be clear, anyone who violates the rules for protecting classified information needs to be disciplined.  The debate as to what has or hasn't been declassified will never be solved here.  The President apparently has much more declassification authority than the VP, but the jury is out as to whether DJT indeed declassified the information he kept in Florida, and it is even murkier, or highly doubtful with regard to the classified documents Biden kept, especially stuff from his Senate days.  I suspect Pence just kissed his presidential aspirations goodbye, whether he did or didn't violate any rules with what he had in Indiana.

By the way, did you get my email?
