Well, I'll give R283 and E for effort and a T for nice try. And then a big fat F for fail. You keep coming up with new ways to tell us how badly you think poor Trump is being treated. The problem is you keep posting false and misleading crap to claim it.
[quote]There are records that belong to the National Archive, but the FBI doesn't have the authority to seize those items via search warrant. Those items being in his possession in and of itself may be "illegal" but there is no crime.
Yes it is. The crime was listed in the warrant: 18 U.S. Code § 2071.
[quote](a)Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. (b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.
The allegation is Trump took and concealed documents of varying classifications he had no authority to take and conceal. And yes, that is a CRIME. That's in addition to the 2 other crimes the feds had probable cause for to get the warrant, and the at least 2-3 more he could be charged with still if they decide to move forward.
And I love that you just blithely claim without any basis whatsoever that the FBI has no authority to seize the documents they literally just seized based on a warrant a federal judge (who is a longtime Republican) signed off on. Oh, but I'm sure Archives referred the matter to DOJ based on a whim, and DOJ just took up a whole investigation they had no jurisdiction over because they were bored and had nothing better to do.
