Agreed. Especially when charging a former POTUS with 'very' serious federal felonies.

I want a ROCK SOLID case built before charges are levied. No screwups. No stone unturned. And if there isn’t sufficient evidence to levy charges I can live with that, though I would be disappointed.
 
The third law that investigators cite in the warrant, Section 2071, criminalizes the theft or destruction of government documents. It makes it a crime, punishable in part by up to three years in prison per offense, for anyone with custody of any record or document from federal court or public office to willfully and unlawfully conceal, remove, mutilate, falsify or destroy it.

Except if Trump declassified them then they are no longer Too Secret.

Trump can't retrospectively declasify documents and surely the FBI would have been informed if the documents they're looking for are now declasified?

It would be one of the first questions the judge giving the search warrant would have asked.
Why would the FBI look for clasified documents that had been declasified?
 
Unsure. It will never be the right time. It will always be too soon, and too late, because nothing can be done in this situation that isn't immediately political, without precedent, and likely to reverberate in unanticipated ways.
 
Everyone should watch Hannity just to understand what is really at play. How Fox is 100% propaganda.
Not one word on the facts. All distortion of 2016.

Wasn't there videos of him ripping up and flushing government documents?

Trump cannot unilaterally declassify nuclear information
Click to expand...

Yep.
Biden can't just decide to post the entire contents of area 51 on the internet for funsies.
There has to be limits and nuclear sercrets seems like a pretty good place to start if for no other reason than the US would instantly break all global Non-preliferation treaties about nuclear weapons by just deciding to release nuclear secrets.

I saw 'still pics' allegedly taken by White House staff ( unknown ) with torn docs sitting in the water at the bottom of the potty in Trump's sleeping quarters, 'allegedly' with Trump's hand writing on the paper.

WRONG!
This happens frequently when people leave politics. Of coarse others don't get treated the way President Trump gets treated.

In what way am I wrong?
Any President loses all the powers of the office when they leave.
This is not a political side issue it's true for any President.
Obama has zero powers he had during his time in office and that's how it should be.
 
He took home homework. He had a standing order that anything he took for his homework it was automatically declassified.

This was just released.

Now. These dumb ass Red Hats will actually belive this bullshit.

You gotta admit. He comes up with some very tall stories.
