    That’s funny, because the archives absolutely asked Trump for the documents back. That’s why we have a problem, that’s the willful part of willful withholding.

    Otherwise he could’ve just given them back and avoided his whole mess.

    I’m not surprised if this isn’t known to everyone, as it’s very much a news bubble thing. His whole line of it being a political hit job falls apart as soon as someone learns he had an opportunity to just fairly give them back and get off scott free.

      Sorry I was meaning Bidens Secret Service or staff went looking after it came to light about Trump holding on to the docs. Yeah if Trump would have just handed the stuff over or at the very least made honest/earnest attempts I’d bet charges would have never happened.
