“Of course they did! They may have been the boxes etc. that were openly and plainly brought from the White House, as is my right under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump posted on social media.

    Remind me again how Hilary’s emails were a crime but the literal theft of top secret documents is just an ethical dilemma?

      Maybe, just maybe this depends on which political party / person is doing the thing?

      I was talking about this guy’s actual legal arguments about hypothetical administrative powers of the presidency. I do not give a shit about Hillary’s emails and I did feel that what trump did was illegal.

      you should stop using ‘top secret’, because its almost irrelevant and bad actors are grabbing onto it like it has substance.

      hes being prosecuted for document mishandling, regardless of ‘top secret’ status. their secret status is irrelevant (technically, not morally).
