[Hoot Gibson]

If the documents were that bad their contents would have already been leaked to all the usual outlets and/or the government would have filed charges by now. Whatever was stored in Trump's closet in boxes, at least it couldn't be accessed by our enemies like Hillary's illegal server. Obama took documents too and I don't believe the fake news narrative that it was perfectly fine. If it was a nothingburger with those two it's a nothingburger with Trump. Whatever Trump has in his closet doesn't make the top 1000 problems list in this country. If it was a Democrat you would be called a conspiracy theorist for even asking about it.

I don't put much credibility into anything that federal investigators claim but I have not heard or read where Trump has denied that he had documents stamped as classified at his Mar-a-Lago home. If he took classified documents home with him as he left office, then it was wrong of him to do so. I don't care if every American president in history did the same thing, it was still wrong, if it happened, just as it would have been wrong for Obama or any other private citizen to have done.

I know that previous presidents have taken documents, which have been deposited in "presidential libraries"  and used as resources for autobiographies. Retired federal politicians have enough perks without taking documents home with them to promote their own presidential legacies after they leave office.

I don't believe in the "everybody does it" defense. Trump has suffered horrible injustices at the hands of crooked politicians who have no respect for the law and I fully support investigating, prosecuting, and punishing the people responsible for those crimes. But, if Trump knowingly took classified documents home with him, then he deserves to suffer the consequences of his actions the same as any other American does. Regardless of whether he is guilty of the allegations or not, I don't want to see him running for president again because I think that this country can do much better.
