But if they get the PRA declared unconstitutional, they lose the argument that the PRA should be the law that applies to Trump taking the documents as opposed to the Espionage Act.

The same aspects that would make the PRA unconstitutional would also make the Espionage Act unconstitutional.

See US Constitution Article II Section 1.

That’s my take. It would be a weird twofer, if both ran into constitutional issues, at least as applied to a president, current or former.
