“It, It’s hard to justify what the Department of Justice did here, in my opinion,” the man Tucker Carlson dubbed “Eye Patch John McCain,” Texas Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw says mistakenly.  “And, and here’s why.  Here’s what it really boils down to:  it, it, it’s not a question that it’s bad to have classified material in, in a non-SCIF [Secured Compartmented Information Facility] environment, right, (mumble) it’s a non-secret compar- commar-compartmentalized infrastructure, er, that’s wrong.  But there’s ways to, to, to mitigate that, there there’s ways to resolve that issue, and I-I still haven’t seen any evidence that he was even asked, that Trump was even asked to give these documents back.  He’s been cooperating with them on these issues for awhile now, for months, and so why take it to this extreme extent.”

Crenshaw might not have seen reports–or heard the admission from the Trump camp–that they received a subpoena for the documents back in June.  Or that a Trump lawyer fraudulently told government officials that all documents had been returned.  Oh, and let’s not forget the little detail that the documents never should have been sent to Mar-a-Lago in the first place.  They are not Trump’s property.  The Trump cabal was instructed that all documents generated during Trump’s single term in office are government property.  They should have been shipped to the National Archives.  And the Trump camp knew they had illegally taken documents as demonstrated by the fact that they returned 15 boxes to the government at the beginning of the year.
