A talking head said that the PRA should apply and NOT the Espionage Act for presidential records.
Its not like Trump took millions of dollars from US adversaries.
The talking head doesn't sound to bright.
The PRA does apply and has applied since the FPOTUS left office.
The Espionage Act application isn't about Presidential Records, the Espionage Act is about national defense Information and the FPOTUS's (alleged) illegal retention after leaving office, failure to secure, failure to surrender when the return was requested by the appropriate government entities and obstruction in attempting to thwart the return of such materials.
Its not like Trump took millions of dollars from US adversaries.
Millions wouldn't have been needed seeing as how the documents were stored in a bathroom and ballroom. Why pay millions when you can attend a party and then take a peak.
Jack Smith may have to justify why Trump doesn't get the PRA for Trump's own records.
No he won't, as the PRA clearly states Presidential Records are not "Trump's own records", they are the property of the United States government. Let alone the national defense information embodied in the classified documents.
