"SNIP.......

Rolling Stone: “In the weeks after the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid, former President Donald Trump repeatedly made a simple-sounding but extraordinary ask: he wanted his lawyers to get ‘my documents’ back from federal law enforcement.”

“Trump wasn’t merely referring to the alleged trove of attorney-client material that he insists was scooped up by the feds…. The ex-president has been demanding that his team find a way to recover ‘all’ of the official documents that Trump has long referred to as ‘mine’ — including the highly sensitive and top secret ones.”

Asha Rangappa: “I’m increasingly of the opinion that Trump’s best defense may be that he’s delusional — some analog to insanity — because he clearly does not appear to understand the central legal issues and controlling law in his case.”

Fine by me if it's equal to a guilty plea. Arrest and charge all the enablers and lock them up.

the workings of the federal government or the presidency, and never tried to learn in his four years in office.

Barr didn't help matters by basically letting Trump get away with anything he wanted to do. Trump believes anything that has his name on it or he supposedly "declassified", is his personal property. The same goes for any gifts given to him by foreign dignitaries.

Someone has to explain to this stupid son-of-a-bitch that everything is the property of the federal government. Every. Thing.
