It is very likely that none of us would know anything about this Raid, secret documents, search warrants, subpoenas if Trump did not publicly reveal he was being raided. And thereafter regularly post on social media like an idiot. This was all kept well under wraps for many months and that was the intention of the DOJ even after the raid. Only after he blabbered did the DOJ have to publicly respond.
It is Trump's narcissistic belief that he is the smartest guy in the room that looks like it will be his downfall.
Not really. Trump's proven winning formula is that he knows he only needs to sell himself to his target audience - the faithful half wits and conspiracy theorists who will believe anything he says and those who know he is lying, but have a vested interest in also pushing his agenda, so back him up. He does what he does to whip up his faithful fools into a frenzy. He then utilizes that unstable mob against those in the GOP who aren't buying into his agenda - fall in line or else. The guy loves a chanting mob... and it got him elected.
His target audience (which used to include me) has become progressively smaller. It got smaller after his behavior around the 2020 election and leaving office, a bit smaller after he praised Putin's invasion of Ukraine, smaller still after the January 6 Capitol Breach hearings, and probably smaller again after all this classified document insanity that he needlessly and single-handedly caused. His target audience no longer has the necessary critical mass to get him in Presidential contention thereby likely avoiding criminal charges that way.
Trump's only ace in the bag is that, at least now, it looks like he can get enough GOP support (e.g., Lindsey Graham) for violent attacks on FBI or just some decent-sized general riots in DC (much bigger than Jan. 6) to put AG Garland in a difficult position where charging Trump is untenable in a societal cost-benefit analysis.
As has been pointed out here many times, the criminal statutes under investigation apply irrespective of whether a document is classified or not. I have not seen you or anyone else rebut that. Right now is your chance to do that.
Don't hold your breath. They'll continue to talk about classification, declassification, and nonclassification--because that's something to talk about, and they'd prefer not to discuss the actual statutes that are pertinent to this situation. You know, given that there doesn't *seem* (we don't yet have all the evidence) to be a defense against those statutes' application.
I don't think Trump has made a legal claim that the docs were declassified. It's just a talking point for the Trump cult at this point. That should tell us all we need to know about the declassification. In addition to some of Trumps Truth Social posts basically admitting he had them.
Cheeto asked for transparency and he got it. How's the special master process going?
My only question is why didn't the FBI post it to Social Truth as well? Oh yea is a smoldering dump of Cheeto excrement.
Yea Google already banned Truth Social from the app store. Fascists can't help but be fascist...
You know your ideas are the best when you have to silence all competing ideas to keep people on your team.
Do you know how hard it is to get your app banned for the Play store? You can still get there from a browser but I guess it's easier to just play the victim just like the Cheeto. Sorry if I am being "mean" BTW.

It's not hard at all if Google doesn't like your politics.

He hasn't made the claim of declassification in any court filings, despite at least 3 opportunities to do so. There is one vague paragraph in a May 25, 2022 letter to the DOJ that says abstractly says President can declassify "unfettered," which no one disputes, but strangely the letter never says Trump actually did declassify anything or what he declassified, when, to who, why, etc. Nothing. I think they are still trying to cobble that story together, but can't finalize it while the Mar-El-Hez rat is still roving around behind the scenes feeding information to the Feds.
The WHY question hasn't really be discussed, probably because Trump and the law-goons can't get their story straight on the Whether. But WHY is really important. Why the hell would anyone declassify a bunch of Top Secret/SCI documents without at least notifying the CIA, the NSA, the FBI, the HSA or the MofIA first to see if they might think its a bad idea? What kind of prickhead President goes around declassifying Top Secret information just to mess with people's heads? This stuff is Top Secret for a reason, and you'd have to be some kind of whackjob who didn't care about your own country to just go around cavalierly declassifying important secrets. Trump boasts "Declassified!" but no one has yet responded "Why in the name of J. Christ did you do that, you goddam jagoff?!?!"

At the end of the day, when all is said and done, isn't all this classified document stuff really no different than an overdue library book? I mean, come on. Let's get some perspective here.

Had he simply burned down MaL and then lied under oath about ever having any documents at all would you be completely and totally mollified as you were with hillary?

If you ever served in govt or the military you would mishandling of classified docs can put people in harm's way and worse killed. It's not a trivial matter.

I think you're a hate streaming mouth breather. But I'm not a fascist like you so I'd never try to restrict your constitutional right to free speech.
You have no idea how the Trump case is going. Don't believe everything you read from other hate streaming mouth breathers on Twitter.
I spend 0 minutes a day on Twitter - maybe you shouldn't believe everything you read/watch on twitchy or whatever hack resource you are currently referencing.
As far as hate streaming you really should re-read your own post and count how many insults you hurl around directly at other posters. But as mentioned before you likely just find it easier to play the victim.
Hopefully the justice system will see thru Cheeto's attempt to delay things via a Special Master request.

I am continually amazed by the leftist's inability to be self aware....

Ha! Want some inability to be self-aware? Look at this criminal fool you support:

Trump's prison will be Maro Lago, only he'll have a cuff on his leg, and there won't be computers or smart phones where he's allowed to go.
And if there is anything even remotely similar to Jan. 6 anywhere near DC again during the current presidential administration, those "patriots" will find out what "arms" really means.
