The Biden administration clearly considers anything marked as classified to be classified (and therefore it is)
First of all: no shit Trump no longer has the authority to declassify anything. He has clearly stated he declassified the documents while he was still president. You can be like Shaft and just pretend you know he never did that, but don't pretend people are saying something they aren't.

Second of all: that's not how it works. If Trump declassified the documents then they are declassified. Biden can't just come along and say "LOL! Anything marked classified is classified! Jail time for you! LOL LOL LOL LOL!"

Lastly: what happened to you crying about Trump for going after his political opponents/Hillary? Now that Biden is actually doing the exact same thing you literally cried about Trump just saying he was going to do, you suddenly think it's okay for president's to go after their political opponents.
