"SNIP.........

Former Attorney General Bill Barr spoke candidly on Sunday about Trump’s 2024 run, his verbal attacks on the Manhattan judge, and his legal cases, saying the former president should be “most concerned about the documents case at Mar-a-Lago,” Vanity Fair reports.

Said Barr: “He had no claim to those documents–especially the classified documents. They belong to the government. I think he was jerking the government around.”

He added: “Trump unfortunately has a penchant for engaging in reckless and self-destructive behavior that brings these kinds of things on him. In many respects, he’s his own worst enemy. He’s dug himself a hole on the documents [case]…It doesn’t surprise me that he has all these legal problems. He was warned about them before he left office.”

"yeah, that documents case? The one I didn't commit obstruction of justice on? The one I knew nothing about? Yeah, that's the one the feds should REALLY go after hard. Forget all this Russia stuff, and forget me calling SDNY and firing anyone working on drumpf issues. Yup, stick to the documents case!"

However, this is interesting testimony:
/He was warned about them before he left office.”/

If so, Trump has little defense that he could think he could take the docs legally.

It is, however, potentially dangerous to U.S. national security, depending on who may have accessed them. Any "danger" to Trump is self-inflicted.
