I have noticed that the Australian press were approaching the Trump indictment along the lines of some sort of bad boy who got caught stealing cookies. The view was that he should not have had classified documents, because, well, the documents are classified, and that means top secret. But, that is the foolish view of things. Below is material that goes into detail about why this case against Trump is just trumped up, so to speak. The case against Trump is a clause in the Espionage Act that criminalizes a failure to hand over national defence information. However, presidents, as part of the executive, presidents have the power to declassify any documents, as was done by all presidents in the past, and the clauses under the Espionage Act are not applicable.
What is concerning here regarding the rule of law, is that exactly what Trump did, has presently been done by Joe Biden, who stored his classified documents in his garage, with the door often left open. Of course, no CCP spies would drop by, would they?
