We’ve reached the “okay, I did it but it’s no big deal and your scrutiny of my criming victimizes me” stage.

Are we approaching the "I did it and I don't give a fuck what you think" stage? I'm not sure they are coming up in the right order any more.

We need a bit more whataboutism before we get there.
I thought we already had that. Maybe they are running it as a chorus now.

As far as I know, the government has documents belonging to NARA, not Donald Trump.
In 1978 Congress enacted the Presidential Records Act to ensure that the papers of all future Presidents are the property of the American public.
GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES SETTLEMENT OVER
NIXON PRESIDENTIAL PAPERSWASHINGTON, DC - The government has reached a settlement agreement to pay former President Richard Nixon's estate $18 million for his presidential papers, tape recordings and other materials, the Justice Department announced today. In 1992, a federal court of appeals had ruled that the estate was entitled to be paid the fair value of those materials. The Nixon family at one point had asked that the papers be sold to the United States for up to $35 million plus 25 years of interest, which would have brought the asking price to more than $200 million.
"It's our belief that presidential papers belong to all the American people," said David W. Ogden, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Department's Civil Division. "This settlement brings to a close 20 years of litigation surrounding President Nixon's papers. Given the Court of Appeals decision, this is a fair resolution for the American taxpayer."
The Nixon papers and tapes were acquired by the government under a law enacted by Congress in 1974, to prevent the destruction of any "Watergate" related material. In 1978 Congress enacted the Presidential Records Act to ensure that the papers of all future Presidents are the property of the American public. The Nixon papers are located and will remain at the National Archives and Records Administration in College Park, Maryland.
In 1991, the federal district court in Washington, D.C. agreed with the government that the materials were not Mr. Nixon's private property, but that decision was overturned a year later by the U.S. Court of Appeals, which sent the case back for a determination of how much the 44 million documents, 950 secret tapes, and other materials were worth. Last year, after a five-month trial, the district court took the matter under advisement

About $180 million - can you think of anything that doesn't cost 10X as much as '74?
Forget the official numbers, they are BS.

If the above accounts are true, the classified document indictment is a sure thing. Too many felonies to count.

Wish they'd led off with that. Those honchos have to be talking to each other.

It goes well beyond holding and withholding classified documents.
If he has been showing/”giving” classified documents to foreigners, that is treason.
Trump should have been waterboarded in Guantanamo long ago.
