Correct, and any disputes are a civil, not criminal, matter. That’s why I think Trump will prevail on the Espionage Act charges. The obstruction and false statements charges will be harder to deal with. If you read the narrative of what the DoJ says happened (not claiming it is true), they allege that Trump and his people took multiple steps to hide documents from a subpoena and falsely certified that all of the documents to the subpoena had been provided. IF true, the Watergate-era truism comes to mind - it’s not the crime (or non-crime), it’s the coverup that gets you.

Thanks! Yes, I remember the era of Rosemary and the 16 minute gap!

Having not read the subpoena or perhaps only parts of if, I suppose that they will have to question the entire basis (Predicate) for raiding a past President an whether there should have been a subpoena or whether those document were classified or not and unequal treatment / political interference by the Justice Department. This is entirely disgusting. (Considering all the things taken by politicians leaving office that were negotiated back at a later time...White House silver and China placements...e.g.)
