They raided him for two reasons. One, to get almost half the voters to see him as a dangerous criminal. Two, to make him establish on the record that he does not have the most damaging material about the deep state. They think that will prevent him from later using that damaging material because he will be admitting that he's lied under oath and they will prosecute him fiercely for it.
Of course, when he is next inaugurated, he will be able to play all his cards and they can't then question where he got the damaging material. He'd have new access all over again, and he'd further pardon himself for having had it all that time if need be.
I read a hypothesis on here that the documents are currently “in transit”. Apparently there is some law that prevents documents from changing their classification level while they are “in transit”.
So the hypothesis is that they were declassified and transported to who knows where. But they haven’t arrived yet. So they cannot be reclassified without breaking the law until they arrive at their destination.
It’s kind of a trap set by Trump: if they accuse him of holding classified documents, the question is which documents and when were they classified?
If they answer the documents that are in transit then they have broken the law, not Trump.
They had tied in Air Force one too I believe, along with the strangeness that surrounds Biden and his travel arrangements / security / etc. I think they were speculating the documents were in the real AF1.
Where were they in transit to? Who knows? Maybe to the Continuity of Government bureaucracy? Maybe to the White House in 2025? Maybe to a special lawyer with security clearance that would give Trump privileged attorney client communications? Maybe the documents are on the desk of his lawyer and they aren’t at their new destination until that lawyer opens them? Maybe to a Military lawyer? I don’t know, I’m just guessing.
