But if the raid turns up nothing another Trump presidency is entirely possible.
Entirely possible?
You're funny. We are working in a "foregone conclusion" mode right now.
No, because the raid is about records taken by Trump.
which is a nothing burger. Sandy Berger and Hillary can attest to that.
"but her emails!"
The emails were examined and even the GOP-led committee found nothing in them worth chasing. 113 had classified information. 3 were marked, but the DoJ said the markings were unclear.
Of course, it turned out that her email server was more secure than the State Department's, but that doesn't let her off the hook. She paid for her crime by losing the 2016 election, though it was not a formal penalty.
Berger? He stole and destroyed "five classified copies of a single report commissioned from Richard Clarke covering internal assessments of the Clinton Administration's handling of the unsuccessful 2000 millennium attack plots." Why did he steal five of them? Given that there were more copies, it's beyond me!
But he lost his security clearance (for 3 years) and gave up his law license. $50,000 fine.
What Trump had was
a dozen boxes of material. Was any of it more vital than either Berger's theft of Clarke's report or Clinton's private email server?
I suppose that remains to be seen - but given that Trump's been in discussion with the National Archives for 18 months and he previously handed over 15 boxes,
but not these, presumably he kept them for a reason.
If he wanted us to know what they were looking for, he would release the warrant.
