Why did Trump take government documents with him and why didn’t he turn over everything back in 2020. Why did it take several meetings and requests to get the documents returned. DOJ didn’t want this fight but Trump obviously did, it feeds into his fund raising and galvanized his base. Now the GOP is doing the same, feeding the fire.
So why did it take the FBI over a year to want them back?
Why didn't they just subpoena him to return the documents like he has with everything else they've asked for?
Apparently, they just wanted an excuse to rifle through Melania's lingerie.
The FBI only recently got involved because Trump wasn’t cooperating. They did subpoena him back in April but once again he didn’t comply. It’s absurd that Trump is going to this extent.
And for Gods sake....why do we still have these documents as hard copy in the Whitehouse to begin with?!
Not specific to this issue, but if security a concern, nothing beats paper. A piece of paper is a physical thing which can be secured and controlled. A digital document will eventually be made available to someone without legitimate access to it, either through an act of negligence or deliberate hacking, and there are people trying 24/7 to get to it.
I'm in favor of this kind of investigating and oversight, as long as those doing the investigating are doing it in good faith. It's Congress' job.
But will they accept what they discover if they in fact discover there was no political motivation? Would they ever come out and say "we've explored the situation and have confirmed that those involved acted in accordance with their mission and were not swayed or motivated by politics"?
That would be a lovely change of pace, even if half the country would not believe it anyway.
Why would anyone pretend to know what goes on in another person's head?

Trump is blinded by his own ego and infatuated with his self-defined privilege and persona. He appears to be quite stupid to think he can waltz off with classified documents and not think that the government was going to come after him. He never thinks things through to their natural outcome. Just being Donald Trump is not a shield against prosecution or a license to do anything he pleases without consequences. He pulled this on January 6 -- not considering what the outcome was going to be. No presidential advisor would have told him it was just fine to take personal possession of classified documents. Even his family would not have told him it was okay. He simply did this on his own and now is once again playing the victim. His minions look pretty silly, again, trying to tell us he did nothing wrong.
