“Duplicitous” might be generous since it suggests a capacity for double-dealing and deception that Jared doesn’t really possess.

I got 3 words for Jared: Israeli. Nuclear. Secrets.

He’s a kapo

But did he, really? I find it hard to believe he has that ability (even to churn out an awful book)

First: I think it’s Mar-a-Lago
Second: “I don’t know what he did or what he didn’t take,” Kushner told host Kay Burley.

So, against my better judgement I watched some of the video.
All I can say is “uncanny valley.”

Reminds me of Pinnochio.

And it’s also wrong. There’s no work involved, nothing for Trump to fill out, sign or otherwise do besides possibly read (ha!), and nothing that applies to his current position of Not The President.
eta: After years of eforms and contact management, “paperwork” is an action item. It doesn’t just sit in boxes, it goes to someone, it’s processed in some way, and then it goes on to someone else.
Oh… Okay, maybe it is paperwork.

Yet Pinnochio eventually turned into a real boy. Jared ain’t there.

Nor did he make deals with murderous tyrants.

Just for a second it looked like his skinsuit was about to slip and reveal his true reptoid form.

I see what you did there. 
Also, it sounds like his legal team is going to take the tack of, “well, you can’t prove he let anyone else see these documents,” as a defense. It reminds me of how they slithered past the emoluments clause against all logical reason with his DC hotel and other family business dealings while in office.
As a former (very low level, not nuclear-related) contractor to the DOE, we were held to higher standards.

If they do, I’d love a court scene where the government attorney slams a folder down and says “Aha! We recovered this from Country Z, and it tracks directly back to the copy Trump had. We never mentioned this before because it was irrelevant to the search warrant for Mar-a-Lago.”
Except that this isn’t Matlock, or Perry Mason, and they’d have to submit the evidence to the court first, and give opposing counsel time to review it. Dang, what’s the drama in that?

I thought the main charge was “not returning documents when requested”

Right, I’m pretty sure that’s it. And it’s pretty cut and dried, they have the records to show the Feds requested the documents and went through proper channels and were obstructed by TFG’s team.
I’m guessing, though, based on statements and the interview, that TFG’s defense strategy is going to be that nothing was compromised so it’s all just a paperwork mix up. They’ll move the goal posts. And do a lot of work in the “trial of public opinion” arena.
Just a hypothesis, and IANAL.
