not that i heard and i was glued to the tv
In any case, I have heard or thought I heard that not one attorney was allowed in
Glued to what, FOX news? Yes, three lawyers present. Trump watched the security camaras as the raid was conducted. Numerous staff were there. Trump could have released the search warrant on Monday. Instead, he let the Justice department open it up on Friday evening. LOL, I bet you don't get the significance of that. Ever hear of the Friday evening news dump?
Here is the thing. Trump's defense here is beyond stupid. First, well he claims he had a standing order to declassify all documents when he took them home to work. But then he claims the FBI planted documents. Tell me, how did he declassify documents that the FBI planted? Does he have a magic ball?
And this is not about Trump taking home classified documents. It is about possible violation of three federal statutes,

That statue prohibits copying, transmitting, or having unauthorized possession of national security material. That includes removing it from its proper place of custody,

This is the big one. It bars the destruction or falsification of any public document in order to impede, obstruct, or influence governmental matters or investigations. It carries a 20 year maximum sentence.

This statue prohibits the removal, mutilation, obliteration, or destruction of any public property. Three year prison sentence and banishment of serving in public office.
Now I know you won't bother to read those federal statutes. Hell, you probably won't even hit the links. But there is not a mention of classified information in any of them. And there is no question Trump has violated all three. The first one, look, Trump can take information home with him, when he is president. But he can't have possession of public property when he is no longer president. While the second one is not as documented, if it is shown that Trump took those document to impede federal investigations, which he knew were coming, he will die at Butner, like Maldoff. Although I am leaning toward Fort Dix. But the third one, that is a given. We already have numerous reports from former staff members detailing how Trump ripped documents up and they salvaged them out of the trash can and tried to piece them back together.
Look, like pretty much everything else in Trump's life, he took leadership of this country and took a big old shit on all of us. That is what he does, rather it is a company, a steak, or a nation. When he gets control, he turns it to shit.
