That’s a liberal hack judge, who ruled in favor of Clinton in a civil circuit court, whose rulings by law do not carry future precedent. A federal criminal judge might look into that ruling, but they very well may not. It is hardly considered the defining interpretation of the law in question.

Read the law yourself, and show me the text where it says the President has any discretion whatsoever in determining what is considered personal records, or not. No one else has been able to yet, but maybe you’re the one who can find it.

That is THE ONLY federal ruling on the presidential records act. She ruled that the president can take whatever document he wants as part of his presidential records and that is unreviewable by anyone. That is settled law unless and until overturned. That would therefore govern this case. Trump, as a president leaving office, could take any document he wanted to as part of his presidential record and that is unreviewable.

IF the federal courts want to overturn that, then they can, but there is no crime on Trump's part for having relied on the federal law as it stood until overturned.
