tRump's "defense" in a nutshell: "Because I walked all these documents out of the WH, they are 'personal' by that very act, and no law nor any person can take them back".

And *Judge* Cannon seemingly is not averse to that argument, which is why we have SC Smith going all hardball on the *judge*, and strenuously opposing even hypothetically considering any interpretations of the Presidential Records Act as grounds for dismissal of his case, which in fact rests upon the Espionage Act in his alleged criminal actions.

It has taken time - too much time, IMO - but this case is about to be air-mailed to the 11th CA for definitive action, and we may a long last see a recusal, voluntarily or otherwise, by Cannon.

I certainly hope so.

The security breach represented by Trump's theft of those documents is orders of magnitude worse than it has been portrayed thus far. The intelligence community and the DOJ need to keep a lid on that, but it is in fact really bad. Some of the documents that are still missing would be of enormous value to the Russian Federation and to China. I say "would be" because they may already have been sold.

The "Order" for staff to load those same boxes of documents onto dt's jet bound for Bedminster for the hosting of the Saudi Prince's 1st Liv golf tournament should be looked at again.

EVERY CRIME LEADS TO ANOTHER...
