So, setting historic precedent against a sitting or former President, a politicized DOJ, during the course of negotiating the return of some documents involving a dispute whether Trump properly declassified the documents before he stored them in his basement, applies for a search warrant to collect “confidential” documents at a President’s residence, and sparks a little drama to ignite some false outrage among the Dem partisan faithful. The substantive reality behind all the bluster is Trump may or may have not have missed a procedural step in declassifying them, which he could do unilaterally, just before he left office and took them to his residence. There would be no case if he had done so. He left his flank open and hardball Dem politics took over. Does anyone truly believe that if Trump was a former Democrat President that Garland would be pursuing this. Throw in the usual phony no one is above the law (other than Hillary Clinton and the upper management of the FBI) narrative to raise the dispute negotiating a return of some documents to the level of a purported crime and one would think Trump stole more than $950 of merchandise from Walgreen’s.

That’s like saying the rape victim may or may not have been wearing too short of a dress.
President Trump did what he was required to do. His subordinates refused to complete the official process. This process is meant to protect the president from making an error, not give his subordinates veto power over his executive decisions.
President Trump has been the victim of many crimes and criminal conspiracies since choosing to run for president. All of the investigations of these crimes have been directed at trying to find him guilty of something... anything.
He is a law-abiding patriot who hasn’t gone along with the theft of our nation. That’s his only crime. They must take him down lest he embolden more criminals like him (i.e. us).
