assume by what you are saying that you are certain that Trump actually had classified documents that he was not authorized to have and that they were stored in an unsecured location?
I'd like to see the source on that information, because I have yet to see anything but claims from twitter blue-checks and money grubbing media outlets who want me to keep clicking on their links.
Don't mistake my skepticism for a position on the matter, I'm just looking for proof and charges. Almost at week 2 and we have zilch, nothing. Evidence could be there, evidence might not be there. We don't know. And let us not forget, Trump isn't a regular citizen like you, I, or a Private/Seaman/Airman, he is a former President regardless if we like it or not. His security clearances have not been revoked either. Event the word "stolen" is thrown around without regard. Do we know that? No, we don't, and assuming so is us being sloppy.
I'm trying to be realistic here, and things are starting to smell from my vantage point. I'm beginning to lean toward bad news regarding the materials confiscated under the warrant. We can be as sure about these things as we want, but without that evidence, this is all in vain, and it looks really bad.
Let me tell you I would how happy I would be if I'm wrong, but I've been down this path far too many times already. If there was damning evidence in those boxes, we would surely know about it by now. If not, why? And national security is a bullshit answer. We don't need to read the underacted documents he has, let an official come out and say the actual words: Donald Trump was absolutely in possession of classified documents that he was not authorized to have or remove from secure locations, and he broke XX law in doing so. I've heard no official source from the DOJ state anything even remotely similar to that, and I would like to know why.

And I have no idea how to answer your other questions. I'd have to do a lot of reading and research to even know what you are talking about as I am completely unfamiliar with any of that unfortunately.
