2. If you think about other situations somewhat like this, the subject's "normal" response is surely: "Well, maybe technically some of this belonged to the government--but it's harmless stuff, there's nothing really sensitive, if it was classified it shouldn't have been, etc." — PolitiTweet.org

1. Kind of an obvious point, but it's striking Trump has not made the most obvious claim someone in his shoes might make: That the documents were harmless--mementos, reminders of glory days, curiosities, etc. (Even some classified docs could after all fall in this category.) — PolitiTweet.org

3. It doesn't even seem to have occurred to Trump to make this kind of "pack rat inadvertently ending up with some documents he shouldn't have" defense. Perhaps that suggests that it couldn't fly once we (or a grand jury) discover more about the character of these documents. — PolitiTweet.org
