Not really made up crimes.
Yes. Made up crimes. Really.
Let’s start with an easy one. The Documents case. Trump had them.
He had some documents. Let’s agree on that one.
He wasn’t supposed to have them.
According to whom? Under what “law?”
He ordered people to move them and hide them.
You have made the mistake of converting an allegation into a supposed “fact.” I assume it wasn’t an accident that you did so.
No part of that is a crime. Put up or shut up.
And before you say it’s never been a crime before. Lots of people have gone to jail for it including one very similar.
People have been convicted for committing crimes. Nobody is supposed to get convicted for the non l-commission of alleged crimes. These particular “alleged” crimes are fictional from jump street.

He took a box of documents when he was “allowed to have access”. And he kept it after he was not. He went to jail for it.
You can’t legally take property
belonging to the government from the government without their permission. That would be a crime. So far all you’re missing is an analog for your failed analogy.
So that isn’t a made up crime.
Under those circumstances, it isn’t. Under the circumstances of the alleged “case” against President Trump, it is a made up crime.
People went to jail for it long before Trump was President.
For the commission of actual crimes. Sure. Again, no analogy here.
That’s an easy one. And as you can see someone went to jail for it. More than one.
Absolutely irrelevant. If you go to the local stationary store and steal the owner’s candy bar, you have technically committed a crime even if cops decline to arrest shop lifters anymore.
But if you are the President of the United States and are, thus, the very person who makes the determination under the law as to which papers are “Presidential Records,” then your retention of those papers which
you haven’t declared to be “Presidential Records” isn’t at all akin to stealing a god damned thing.
Tell ya what. I’ve read the Presidential Records Act. I’m gonna go ahead and guess that maybe you did, too. So tell us all
which provision of the PRA states which documents constitute “Presidential Records.” Go.
