When the document dust settles, the differentiator will be intent.

Trump, in word and deed, made it clear he INTENDED to hide, deflect, deceive, and otherwise fight to keep what he stole

That is a crime and that is all.

The rest is politics.

And now as it now happens, with Georgia seemingly ready to charge, that paints him as a criminal, making it far more difficult to talk about both side risk for the purloined documents.

Not a coincidence all of this is coming out now.

The DOJ had Trump dead to rights on the stolen top secret docs.
Now it is all fizzling.
