Of note, in the letter from Corcoran that was attached to the affidavit, that Corcoran asked/demanded be presented to any judge considering "investigative requests":

Trump’s attorney does *not* assert or argue that Trump previously declassified documents or had a “standing order” doing so. He merely states that Trump had the power to do so and makes an argument that presidents can’t be prosecuted for anything related to classified documents.

Absolutely no reason for him to state that Trump had the power to declassify if he didn't believe that Trump had declassified documents.

From the Corcoran letter in the affidavit:
Quote:
(1) A President Has Absolute Authority To Declassify Documents.

Under the U.S. Constitution, the President is vested with the highest level of authority when it comes to the classification and declassification of documents. See U.S. Const., Art. II, § 2 ("The President [is] Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States[.]"). His constitutionally-based authority regarding the classification and declassification of documents is unfettered. See Navy v. Egan, 484 U.S. 518, 527 (1988) ("[The President's] authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security ... flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President and exists quite apart from any explicit
congressional grant.").

A nice big public display of raiding his home.
That's all it's ever been since early 2016. So now lets tack this on to how much the democrap libs have spent of tax payer money attempting to sway the vote in their favor. And all their tauded voters, supporters and sympathizers are so brain washed and brain dead, they don't even care. All they see is that President Trump's private property was raided so they'll still vote democrap lib anyways.

I wish facts had played a prominent role with you folks too.

We'll all get to see that when the investigation is complete and the indictments drop. Try to be patient.

Yeah, no.

Perhaps the most important revelation in the documents is that the criminal investigation is ongoing.

DOJ didn’t just seize documents. There is an ongoing criminal investigation and the former President of the United States is a subject of that investigation.

(emphasis mine)

There are other things we didn't know for a fact that are confirmed in the affidavit, as well.

What were you expecting to see?

As I read not too long ago, found in one of the boxes of Bill Clinton's junk was a moon rock that had been given to a diplomat or government dignitary years ago. It somehow ended up in Bill Clinton's junk and was found not too many years ago in the box of junk.

**Updated**

I just googled it and actually it was from when he was the governor in 1980.

Did you read the affidavit? It specifically mentions that classified documents were out of their folders and tossed in boxes with newspaper clippings, photos, and other personal stuff, and included were notes Trump had made on them. Hardly the way anyone would "pack" anything.

From the Corcoran letter in the affidavit:
Patel's beliefs are completely irrelevant. Also, what Patel might or might not believe was not part of your claim.

Also in that letter from Corcoran - no actual claim that Trump had declassified anything.

Yeah, the indictments are all going to be dropped alright. And the indictments against all those involved in this corrupt unjustified raid funded by tax payer money/ordered by top democrap lib leadership will come into play.
