So we're going to imprison a former president for having originals instead of copies? Is that the argument?
Given that mag/a/t/rds spent the better part of the last decade screaming "lock her up", the mishandling of classified documents should be dealt with in accordance to the law, no matter whether T was POTUS or not.
When is T getting indicted?He probably never will, as he successfully built a firewall of lawyers between himself and the classified documents.
Some of his lawyers will end up doing a Cohen, though. Most likely Christina Bobb.
Sounds like he didn't commit a crime
Seriously fvqq off

So all the fuss is over a 3-month delay? How would R control of Congress stop the DOJ?
The judge has claimed the right to determine classification status and executive privilege status. If not overturned there is a constitutional crisis.
Furthermore, the counterintelligence implications of what orange did are not being investigated as a consequence.
The DOJ has already be caught falsifying information on FISA warrants to spy on Trump associates. The special master was one of those who was duped. So, the special master is there to ensure that the DOJ does not subvert justice again. Fool him once, shame on you. Fool him twice, ...
So we're going to imprison a former president for having originals instead of copies? Is that the argument? It's hard to keep track of the moving goal posts, from nuclear codes to classified docs and now ndi irrespective of classification.T had over 100 classified docs in his basement and desk drawer. That's a fact.
Again, it's only a fact they were marked classified. Ts lawyers claim he had declassified everything in his possession. The former head of the Cia admitted a formal paper trail would not be required by such declassification, so there is no legal way to refute that claim which is why the goalposts have moved to ndi irrespective of classification.
If there's no paper trail of T's supposed standing order to declassify anything he touches, he'll have to take the stand and testify under oath.
Which obviously will never happen, sich he'd fly off the handle immediately.

And democrats spent the same time period arguing it was no big deal to have classified (according to comey's investigation) information on a non-secure personal server in a closet connected to the internet. If it's no big deal then, why is it a big deal now?

That's not how this works. He'll just submit (another) attestation through his lawyers that everything he took had been declassified. They have to prove it wasn't that's how our legal system works. You don't have to prove your innocence, they have to prove your guilt.
In their filing to the special master, T's lawyers once again dodge the question whether the seized docs were classified.
There is no dodging. In the unsealed warrant materials both ts lawyers and a former official, kash Patel, submitted attestations that all the materials were declassified. That is why the dojs case is now about ndi irrespective of classification.

You'd imagine that even the düмbest of chuds would know there's a difference between the material a gov official receives via email, and the material that literally came out of a SCIF and had TS/SCI written all over it.
Not even the Tangerine's lawyers make this claimWhy are documents marked classified not excluded from this procedure? What possible claim could T have over these?Because marked classified does not mean they are actually classified. That is yet to be proven by the DOJ. Trump says he declassified them.

Kash Patel is a political hack. Meanwhile actual admin officials confirm T is lying through his teeth.

What you really mean is that those investigations will be delayed until after the midterms, right?

The documents are visibly marked as classified, and none of T's lawyers is willing to openly claim that they aren't. Case closed.
