This time, we’ve got him [Trump’s Top Secret Docs]

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62527628
The FBI took 11 sets of classified documents, including some labelled top secret, from Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida earlier this week.
One list of documents is marked "TS/SCI" - or top secret / sensitive compartmented information - a level reserved for information that could cause "exceptionally grave" damage to US national security.
Mr Trump denies any wrongdoing.
He said the items were declassified and safe.
a statement on his Truth Social platform, Mr Trump said the items recovered were "all declassified" and securely stored.
He said he would have been willing to hand the items over before the search warrant was carried out.
"They could have had it anytime they wanted - and that includes long ago," he said. "All they had to do was ask."
Mr Trump's supporters have been making the legally debatable case that he had the authority as president to declassify all of the recovered documents before he left office, and did so.
Legal experts have told US media it is unclear whether this argument would hold up in court. "Presidents can declassify information but they have to follow a procedure," Tom Dupree, a lawyer who previously worked in the Justice Department, told the BBC.
"They have to fill out forms. They have to give certain authorisations. They can't simply say these documents are declassified. They have to follow a process [and it is] not clear that was followed here."

Will the feckless Dem establishment see this through to the arrest and imprisonment of their Trump? Probably not, but I’m happy to be pleasantly surprised!

    i feel like if you're on the cia, the fbi, and you are issuing repeated warnings to donald trump that he is utilizing insufficient security for the classified documents he took from office

    and should someone from a foreign nation then acquire those classified documents

    i don't know, i feel like that one's on you, if that happens

    I mostly want him to be hammered just to maybe prove to everyone the Republicans have let themselves be led by a literal traitor.

    I am under no delusions of Republicans actually changing even if that did happen, because Trump was only ever a symptom not the disease. And one DeSantis is fomenting quite the plague if Trump gets taken out of the running.

    Just remember: If the FBI can do this to him, they can also "raid" you unannounced because you stole classified material from the white house and refused to comply with a warrant.

    Chilling.

    The best part is the FBI attempting to keep the raid relatively low-key, and if Trump kept quiet it would be a vague story over the possibility of the feds getting documents. Details secret enough they can spin it as persecution or no big deal.

    But the howler monkey branch of the party smelled a story they could get outraged by. Had to spend the evening of the raid talking up the SCANDAL of politically motivated thugs breaking into the home of a Former President for no reason at all. Clearly jackbooted agents attacking an innocent man. The Feds are keeping things secret from the American people.

    And as more details come out the worse it looks for Trump and every single talking point of the previous 8 hours. Conservative media heads on their third or fourth version of the story to keep up with how bad it looks. Folks talking about the lack of a warrant moments before warrant info is all over the news.

    It’s all self-inflicted attempts at their sensationalizing tactics backfiring in real time.
