Two fold:
To collect evidence against themselves in the event Trump wins in 2024
To dirty up Trump so he doesn’t have a chance in 2024.
This is the larger frame, but the small frame is that the underlying assumption is that Trump unlike any other president isn’t entitled to his personal records and records vital to his presidency. As Trump pointed out Obama took 30 Million pages of documents and hasn’t even bothered to make copies as of yet.
But, this whole deal is using the NARA as a bludgeon to suppress the Russiagate documents that Rick Grennell unearthed. Nunes already forked over these documents for review and the administration sent them to the darkness never to be seen again. So when Patel started talking about releasing them.. they went nuts trying to decide where the copies that they didn’t have hidden could be located and came up with Mar-a-Lago. Then they saw records being moved and reboxed and decided this was an attempt to hide these records so they jumped. They say the point of hiding them is obstructing their work in recovering the NARA documents.
All hinges on the criminalization of the President having any of this stuff from the Presidency which has already been settled law in the case of Bill Clinton’s retention of tapes sought by Judicial Watch.

Yes and had nothing else to do. grrrr
It puts Trump on all the front pages, which helps Dem turnout for the midterm elections. Every day we talk about Trump instead of Inflation, gas prices, collapse of Afghanistan, Iraq civil war, Iranian nuclear weapons.
