You people are pissing up a rope thinking "ah, Trump's-In-The-Noose-Now #4199".

There are far, far, far too many key players on both sides of the aisle that do NOT want the Unitary Executive shackled in any way, shape or form.

When Bushes and McCrisis aided Cankles and Obama in the Russia Hoax, Poppy (don't forget, Poppy did not croak until 2 years into Trump's presidency) extracted a promise that their goal was to cripple President Trump, not remove him.

And then Nanzi nearly broke that deal.

But actually removing Trump would have set precedent for removing a future Unitary Executive. That would be, in Dana-does-Bush: "Bad, it's bad!".

As declassification has very little stare decisis as a matter of law, there have been a handful of papers speculating what any President's powers are in this regard, and almost all of them printed before this raid, land squarely on the side of Executive Privilege.

But the key here is SCOTUS, and this SCOTUS can't get enough Unitary Executive (if not so much Executive Privilege), Roberts will still thread the needle in favor of Trump.

Why? AGAIN, because failure to do so will set precedent for prosecuting a future -- or perhaps even a retired or soon-to-be retired Democrat/Socialist ex-President."

Right now, this very moment, thousands if not a million Classified documents from the Obama Administration are languishing in Chicago, in a year-to-year lease in a non-secure building from a failing company (Transformco, literally the glue holding the ashes of Sears together), in an easily-accessible suburban location, likely behind nothing more than a single deadbolt on the interior glass doors.
