Mar-a-Lago raided

What an idiot. Why didn’t he just turn over the documents when asked? Or even subpoenaed?
Yes, I agree. I am trying to think reasonably, and having trouble coming up with a reason why he would not do it, other than him having a "god complex" and thinks he is above everybody else.

The story! The story!
He's doing the same thing he did in 2015. He knew he was not a big known, so he made his own publicity, threw his stunts to capture press attention. He didn't give a crap about John McCain, but you couldn't put a price on the outrage factor when he ridiculed his POW history. He did that enough until he had his audience, and then he milked it with messages they wanted to hear.
He isn't a master salesman for nothing.
Has anyone in the media speculated (or showed that they knew) why Trump took the documents in the first place?

A bunch of FBI agents do.

If they don't, they'll just make it up.

I bet somebody somewhere knows.
I had dinner last night with a friend who is…well connected at DOJ. Like really well connected. First thing he said was joking-serious…don’t ask him about what he knows about mar-a-lago.

You shouldn't ask me what I know, either.

You know you’re in a cult when you think the idea that the leader is innocent is not falsifiable, even when the crime is entirely in character.

You know you're in a cult, when you don't care that your nation's justice system has been perverted.

It’s now in Jedi mind trick territory!

Speaking on Fox News’ “Hannity,” Trump declined to point to specific evidence of that declassification. But, in a pre-recorded interview, he told host Sean Hannity that evidence was not needed."There doesn't have to be a process, as I understand it," Trump said. "You're the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it's declassified, even by thinking about it."

And so presidential.

Translation: I can’t defend him either, so I’ll make it look like you’re the one with the problem for even noticing

Nah, it's a fishing expidition. Always has been.
Did Trump do something wrong? Probably. But no more than his predecessors or even some in positions not as high in the government.
It's never been about Justice or what is right. It's about negating the threat and derailing the Disruptor.

Didn't Trump pass stricter laws to stamp this sort of thing out - or was that just for the little people?
