Though there is selective prosecution here by the DOJ, it seems the documents case could have been easily avoided by Trump if he listened to his own lawyers and not listened to Tom Fitton who has no law degree but runs "Judicial Watch" (twitter.com)

The attorney, Christopher Kise, wanted to quietly approach Justice to see if he could negotiate a settlement that would preclude charges, hoping Attorney General Merrick Garland

Pft. That's like me approaching the ATF to negotiate them not killing my dog.

Bad analogy.

Had Trump listened to his lawyers and returned the docs instead of keeping them and fighting like Tom Fitton recommended, it would been likely impossible for the feds to prosecute him.

Trump also allegedly moved some docs from Mar a Lago to Bedminister without his lawyers' knowledge and had his lawyers say he already returned every document. This unneccesary action made it easy to charge Trump with obstruction of justice charges.

This entire case is sadly self-inflicted because Fitton apparently told Trump that he could keep any doc he wanted and to fight any requests from the National Records offices.

Fitton is a dumbass on this issue and you should never listen to him over actual lawyers. He doesn't even have a law degree.

IMPOSSIBLE lol. I'd say you're naive, but in this climate it's more like willfully stupid.

Trump is already being prosecuted for unlawfully influencing an election based on a federal statute he's never been charged with. That should inform you about the limits of the possible. A grand jury will indict a ham sandwich.

Trump also allegedly moved some docs from Mar a Lago to Bedminister without his lawyers' knowledge and had his lawyers say he already returned every document. This unneccesary action made it easy to charge Trump with obstruction of justice charges.

Not that I care that much if this actually happened, given Clinton and Biden's violations, but this is alleged. Seems like you're back to believing the feds as long as they carry the imprimatur of a felony charge. And you wonder why people don't find you convincing.

We don't know if they would have still indicted him if he had actually listened to his lawyers.

What happened is that he chose to ignore his lawyers and he sadly made it easier for them to build a case against him.

They prosecute selectively but it doesn't negate the fact that he is now facing a serious case.

"Allegedly"

They prosecute selectively but it doesn't negate the fact that he is now facing a serious case.

Here's the thing: it doesn't even matter what he did. This issue has eclipsed the merits of the case. It's only about the fact that he was indicted in the first place. It's about them being able to destroy one of ours, and us not being able to touch one of them.

Your tds is as bad as any blue anon. Presidental records act allowed trump to declassify documents and take them. Biden wasnt allowed less so store them in his corvette as he was a traitor to america as vp. Please tell me what in my statement is factually incorrect mr blue anon

The sole classifying authority lies with the President. Everything from some Private interrogating a goat herder to the design of our nuclear submarines are classified at the pleasure of the president. He can declassify at any time for any reason. And once something is declassified it doesn't matter what the document itself says; it's declassified. Hypothetical form A being printed and stored while Secret and then being declassified does not mean that the hard copy is still Secret despite it being marked as such on every page and individual paragraph. Hypothetical form A being declassified means all instances of it are declassified.
