Now, here’s a surprise.
One week after the midterms, The Washington Post quietly reported that, well, remember those classified documents former President Donald Trump allegedly took to his home in the Mar-a-Lago Club, the ones that prompted the FBI to raid his home? Yeah, he wasn’t doing anything “nefarious” with them.
No nuke-selling to the Saudis, apparently! How about that? Huh. Well, carry on, WaPo readers! Thanks for voting Democrat!
In the Monday report, the Post noted that investigators “believe former president Donald Trump’s motive for allegedly taking and keeping classified documents was largely his ego and a desire to hold on to the materials as trophies or mementos.”
“As part of the investigation, federal authorities reviewed the classified documents that were recovered from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and private club, looking to see if the types of information contained in them pointed to any kind of pattern or similarities, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
“That review has not found any apparent business advantage to the types of classified information in Trump’s possession, these people said. FBI interviews with witnesses so far, they said, also do not point to any nefarious effort by Trump to leverage, sell or use the government secrets,” the piece continued.

Whenever a lawsuit breaks out, the first thing that happens is the demands for paper-based documentation. Of course Trump was preserving evidence, against the evil Deep State. That's entirely why the frightened Deep State freaked out about it.
Most Legal documents are digital format at some level. But don't forget the importance of toilet paper.

This doesn’t affect the legality of the seizure of the documents, but it may well impact whether or not the government chooses to go forward with an indictment. Indicting a former president simply for having some documents from his administration, When there is no evidence of anything otherwise nefarious going on, would be a really bad look for them.
