This is their "defense".

Fox & Friends host claims FBI agents dumped 'backpacks' full of damaging evidence at Mar-A-Lagohttps://t.co/TRho4hOzVF

Well, exccept when the defense is:  "But I'm a rich WHITE guy!"

Law enforcement does not let anyone, including lawyers, observe what they’re doing during searches. They typically remove everyone from the searched area. This has always been the case. This is the latest “it’s an outrage when the typical happens to me.” https://t.co/aI9lkbBgWy

By the end of the week those "backpacks" will have turned into "15 boxes" the FBI brought in, instead of took away.

And the funny part is, if Asha Rangappa's analysis is right, it will end up being Trump keeping this alive against a feared criminal prosecution.  If the FBI doesn't charge Trump for criminal liability for holding classified documents (which have not been released; a different question from, say, getting their hands on Edward Snowden or Julian Assange.  The horse done left that barn.), then where is the "evidence" the FBI "planted"?  Yeah, Trump will crow that the FBI was "exposed" and that's why they didn't charge him, but that's small beer in the number of investigations he's facing.

And there's always the chance of that sedition charge.  What Trump was doing with those documents could fold into that, I imagine.  Just because the FBI got them for one investigation, doesn't mean they can't be used for another.

So: bring it.  Dumbasses.
