Updates on the Mar-A-Lago search and rank speculation
All I can say is they better a) have the “goods,” b) charge TFG with Treason, and c) convict him quickly IF all this is true.
Given the furor that the FBI has endured over the past 8 years for much less, I can’t imagine them going this far unless it was airtight.
Considering that Trump made a statement a bit ago bashing Obama for having allegedly kept classified documents pertaining to nuclear technology, he may have just kind of admitted it.
This blog *seems* like a good analysis:

That is an excellent analysis, and Trump should have fired his lawyers for giving the DOJ everything they needed to prosecute him.
Hoo boy...
