Sooooo… potential payback dirt on Macron, something to keep Stone in line, various defense/intel secrets and whatever he and the saudis wished for when they summoned Shenron a while back ago as pictured below

Espionage, hmmm? Yeah, I am not surprised he would do that if he thought he could make a buck. I am surprised, though, that DOJ is saying it out loud. That is pretty shocking.

I see “18 U.S.C. §§ 793, 2071 , or 1519”
These documents weren’t supposed to be public, at least not until well after any resulting case was underway. I wonder if the plan wasn’t to just grab all the sensitive files quietly and pretend that noting happened. Then Trump shockingly (not) went off script.

Sections 1519 and 2071 of Title 18 of the United States Code — make the taking or concealment of government records a crime regardless of whether they had anything to do with national security.
For another, laws against taking or hoarding material with restricted national-security information — which generally carry heavier penalties than theft of ordinary documents — do not always line up with whether the files are technically classified.
That is because some criminal laws enacted by Congress to protect certain national-security information operate separately from the executive branch’s system of classifying documents — created by presidents using executive orders — as “confidential,” “secret,” or “top secret.”
the Espionage Act makes no reference to whether a document has been deemed classified. Instead, it makes it a crime to retain, without authorization, documents related to the national defense that could be used to harm the United States or aid a foreign adversary.
The storage wasn’t even locked until recently is my understanding. Probably safe to assume that copies of all that classified info are out in the wild right now.

It’s also as much bullshit as everything else he’s bleated since the warrant was served.

Isn’t the highest level of material supposed to be stored in gsa approved safes not merely secured with a padlock?

Taking his claims as anything other than lies and BS is really something media outlets should have given up years, if not decades ago.

Good thing he packed the Supreme Court, huh? Because, best case, everything we’ve learned today is going to end up there eventually.
He’s still got a “get out of jail free” card left to play.
Based on what? I mean, there would at least have to be a thin veneer of relevance for SCOTUS to even consider it. It’s not their purview to determine guilt or innocence, or to interfere in regular criminal proceedings. At worst, they could rule on some vaguery of constitutionality and send it back to a lower court, and if the ruling was full of shitthat lower court could effectively ignore it.
