"SNIP.....

“A top Justice Department official told former President Donald Trump’s lawyers in recent weeks that the department believes he has not returned all the documents he took when he left the White House,” the New York Times reports.

“The outreach from the official, Jay Bratt, who leads the department’s counterintelligence operations, is the most concrete indication yet that investigators remain skeptical that Mr. Trump has been fully cooperative in their efforts to recover documents the former president was supposed to have turned over to the National Archives at the end of his term.”

“It is not clear what steps the Justice Department might take to retrieve any material it thinks Mr. Trump still holds.”

“We believe he’s currently committing the very crime for which he’s under investigation, but we aren’t going to charge or arrest him.”

DOJ, the National Archives, don't know what documents are missing. Trump was allowed to mishandle documents the 4 years he was in office with no accountability.

Donald Trump had top secret documents for 18 months and he was successful for a while keeping the government from investigating its own top secret documents, it still can't take back its own non-top secret documents.

Delay, Delay.

Doesn't make it seem urgent or serious.
