Jmo & I hope I'm wrong!
Ps - Why did they allow tfg to sit on these documents for more than 1.5 years if they are so important to national security?

(10,916 posts)They told him the docs were still classified. At that point, he could have feigned ignorance and turned them over. That probably would have ended it.
But no.... he just had to double down on the crime (a crime that became a felony in 2018 with his signature.)
Idiot.

(5,851 posts)If it wasn't of the highest classification, they wouldn't have bothered with a search warrant. They'd still be negotiating.
I can't even imagine the arrogance required to steal such material and then keep it even after being subpoenaed for it. And THEN act all butthurt when the feds finally come in to take their property back!
