He hasn't denied that they were in his home.

He acknowledged that they had been in containers before the FBI put them on the floor to take photographs.

Trump knew he had the documents.

That's it, game over. HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE THEM!

Nothing else matters. Not the attorney/client privileged stuff, not his passports, not his news clippings. He had Top Secret documents that should never have left the White House. That's a crime and he knew it.

Waving his arms in the air literally saying “I did it.” Nothing happens.
In a bad analogy…maybe we can’t see the water pouring out from under this slow moving glacier.

It is pretty bad when Donald Trump cannot think up a lie most of his supporters will believe.

best not to give them any space, debating this is what they want. Same thing for debating whether Trump declassified documents, it is not relevant, should simply be dismissed, laughed at, and not debated.

That line may go a long way in the closed minds of his followers, but evidence is neither Republican nor Democratic; the US Code is neither Republican nor Democratic; and due process is neither Republican nor Democratic.

The good news is, and I truly believe it, his core group is shrinking. More and more are either wanting fresh blood or have seen that Trump has outlasted his welcome. The remaining cultists may strengthen their resolve, but they remain a distinct minority. Our main nemeses now are those who would tamper with the vote or hijack the voting procedures in their respective states. That's what scares me most.
