Also if you're talking about the only court which was involved in this case so far, you mean the mook in Florida that he judge-shopped for in order to have her whip up some bullshit calvinball excuse for why the documents should be returned to the guy who got her seated as a judge.
She wrote up some of the stupidest legalistic bullshit ever seen, so bad that a panel with a judge appointed by fucking dubya and the orange turd told her to get the fuck out of there with that garbage.
Then the stupid fucks nominated a by-the-books good retired judge for the special master, the DOJ went "SURE, HE'S GREAT" and by the time they went "wait what" he looked at the evidence and said "this is dumb calvinball bullshit, the DOJ can use the docs" and then the fucking judge tried to invalidate it all anyways because they're all so very bad at what they do, and this all happened, factually, recently.
Again, if the government is missing ANY documents which it is supposed to have, you have them, and are asked to return them it is a crime to say no.
That's the classic begging the question fallacy. You are assuming the government has a right to those documents, which Trump and his lawyers disagree with. Traditionally, that would be handled in a court, where the two arguments are made and the stronger argument prevails. When was that process replaced by whatever Max™ says goes?
We know he had lots of documents with no reasonable claim to being personal records were there, we know they were requested, we know they had to get a warrant to return them, there's no doubt about that. It is as they say a matter of record.
The only reason he tried to claim they were his is because someone pointed out it is REALLY bad that he had them and didn't return them, typically when an ex-pres wants to claim something as a personal record they do it properly or afterwards, they don't just steal a bunch of shit and then argue it ex-post-facto.
Also given how the orange turd had his status revoked, he couldn't even legally have classified docs,
the whole question hinges on whether or not something in his possession was declassified as of Jan 20, 2020
No, in fact it doesn't, you want it to for some reason, I
know that classification doesn't matter for the numerous crimes he did commit, and yes I admit it is because I want to see the shitbag try to run for office from a prison cell. I'll be happy if he just keels over dead from a heart attack before then, but he absolutely deserves to suffer for everything he's done, as do those who do awful shit on his behalf/in support of him.
You're absolutely wrong about the idea that it has to be classified docs to prosecute, check your facts yo, the fact that they could always be declassified and that there could be any doubt guarantees they would not bring that case, while there are laws including ones I linked which do not depend on classification but simply the fact that the government said "hey, we think you have these, can you give them back" and the dumbfuck said "no, I don't have them" then they got a warrant and found them and HE SAID "GIVE THEM BACK THOSE ARE MINE" and tried to get them back while clearly establishing that he had intent to prevent the government from obtaining them which is absolutely illegal and incredibly stupid.
I'm reasonably sure that is almost completely in error. The matter before the court was whether this was personal property and not subject to NARA or property of the US Government and was.
No, though it is true that his fans WANT that to be the case because he could conceivably avoid prison if the case focuses exclusively on nonsense like magical declassification or personal records.
On the other hand, I've been following this the whole time, all the twists and turns, and distinctly remember the gleeful satisfaction I felt over realizing not only did he potentially commit numerous serious crimes... he ruined his best defense against them by repeatedly shouting out that he fully intended to take them and keep them.
That Biden and Pence were discovered to have docs they shouldn't have and turned them over just fucks the orange cunt harder
because he is too fucking stupid to shut the fuck up.
