Why diddnt they go get them when they knew they were there?

They asked for them. That was refused a couple of times before they decided to go through the process of getting the search warrant.

It seems they were treading particularly carefully, probably given the political profile of the target.

How did the documents get to mar a largo?

I'm guessing that trump didn't load up 30 boxes of documents on his own. And it looks like these documents are the ones that were thought to be the most valuable ones to take, so again, I suspect that there were more that one person selecting the documents. Time will tell if charges are brought.

What part did trump play in this?

Good question. There's a range of possibilities.

It's a crime to have such documents away from the SCI facility, so that's the minimum.

But certainly it matters if it can be shown that he intended or did sell the information to foreign nations.

Or intended to keep them from the Jan 6 investigations, or hide other wrongdoing from investigation.

Superficially, it looks like he took documents of value that he realised that he would no longer have access to once he wasn't president, and that seems Trumpy. This was the time that he was soliciting his supporter base for donations that he claimed was to contest the election results in courts, and just pocketed the funds. And pardoning hundreds of rich criminals, at least some priced at $2M per pop.. So he and people around him were doing a desperate cash grab, at least at the expense of law and order.

After the Russia gate thing, I don’t believe anything you guys are writing. Like I literally think it’s made up lies.

The warrant and the receipt are at the link. What specifically don't you believe?

Trump certainly had Russian contacts before during and after his presidency.

It looks like you are not happy he is going to run for president again, and your trying to frame him.

You think I took SCI documents to Mar-a-lago?

That's a new one.
