Uh, no. It's quite a bit simpler than that. Since 2016, folks here in this forum have assumed Trump's guilt. If the guy's guilty of something, then let the chips fall where they may. The "fake news" thread has been going on forever, and is rife with endless speculation and expectations that "the walls are closing in" on Trump. I never thought any of the various media and Dem-driven speculation was very convincing at all.
That's what makes the "document thing" so funny. Folks were finally convinced that "this was the end of Trump". I thought at the time it was bullshit and said so because there's no doubt that care and safekeeping of confidential government documents have never been a high priority among the elected class or their serrogates.
Sure enough, here comes Biden. Now Pence. I'm actually surprised there hasn't been more. But whoever said that the denizens of DC acted on principle.
