Trump Lawyer Told Justice Dept. That Classified Material Had Been Returned https://nyti.ms/3w1NTZk
It's not just that Trump lies.
- His lawyer said to the govt that all sensitive documents had been returned.
- He then said as president he had the right to convert sensitive documents to non sensitive. (Declassify at will.)
- He told the press that FBI had probably planted evidence.
And the biggest issue is that the American legal system will allow Trump to say that he himself had no clue what was brought to his house and no clue what his lawyers said to the govt on his behalf and the legal system will want to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he intended to sell the sensitive documents to Russia China Iran North Korea. How can anyone prove it?
Just like he claims that he had no idea what his accounting firm submitted as data to various financial entities. Atleast the Indian income tax says that ignorance is no excuse. We are that much better than Americans.
Trump is narcissistic. He feels entitled. That's why he wanted to win the 2nd term badly. With the weight of the presidency working for him and with his ability to redefine what executive privilege meant he would literally have been King.

- Trump, Without the Presidency’s Protections, Struggles for a Strategy: "That approach — demonize investigators, intimidate allies to keep them from straying, paint himself as persecuted and depict every criticism as a political witch hunt — was Mr. Trump’s go-to strategy to discredit the investigation into his 2016 campaign’s possible ties to Russia, and in his first impeachment trial."
