NARA has traditionally rented out a facility to store all the documents a Presedential administration produces. They did this for Clinton, Bush, and Obama.
GSA ships all administration documents to this facility when the President leaves
NARA traditionally gives the outgoing administration 2 years to sort through their records, to decide what is personal, and what is public. This sorting is done at that rented out location
In Trump's case, they did not rent such a facility. So, GSA shipped all the docs to his house in Mara Lago
NARA did not give him 2 years to sort his records, they started asking for public records immediately
Mara Lago has a Sensetive Compartmented Information Facility that is rated to store classified docs, and that is where the classified documents Trump had were when the FBI raided his house
Established case law gives the President unilateral authority to declare any document personal (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. National Archives and Records Admin., 845 F.Supp.2d 288 (2012))
The prosecution is arguing that the marked classified documents should have never have been outside of government control, even though the government itself set up the conditions that put these classified documents outside of government control in the first place.
Do you GET IT YET? This was a SET UP by the professional class administrative state. This is the swamp trying to usurp power from the Chief Executive. By rights, everyone involved must be fired, and sanctioned so heavily that the next swamp creature that gets it in their heads that they are more powerful than the President recoils in horror at that thought.
I'm going to explain this slow:
