Legal team says DOJ has misled courts and public about reasons classified documents ended up at Mar-a-Lago, and legislation needed to fix lax security system.
In an extraordinary move, Donald Trump's lawyers on Wednesday asked Congress to intervene in the dispute over classified documents, alleging the Justice Department has misled the courts and the public about how sensitive memos ended up at the former president's Mar-a-Lago estate.
The legal team led by attorney Timothy Parlatore sent a letter to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner and the Gang of Eight congressional leadership declaring the unprecedented FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago last August was unnecessary and shielded Congress from being alerted to a lax National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) security system that boxed up classified documents with mementos and shipped them to the Florida compound without regard to protecting national secrets.
"The solution to these issues is not a misguided, politically infected, and severely botched criminal investigation, but rather a legislative solution," Parlatore and his colleagues wrote Turner. "DOJ should be ordered to stand down, and the intelligence community should instead conduct an appropriate investigation and provide a full report to this Committee, as well as your counterparts in the Senate."

So NARA set up Trump and then turned him in to the DOJ?
There are no accidents in politics...
