This persecution complex you have about legal injustices to Trump doesn't seem to match the facts.

You seem to be mistaking me for some sort of conservative, I'm not a fan of Trump. I don't think its 'unjust', he wasn't supposed to have the documents. I am simply suggesting that the dems really wanted something to 'stick' to Trump to stop him from being president again, whereas I doubt anyone was going around looking for things VP Biden did wrong at the time with the same enthusiasm.

It doesn't look like he tried to hide the files, then sent some of them back claiming that that was all of them, and that he'd done an exhaustive search, dragging it out for a year and a half, necessitating a search warrant to get the files back.

I agree that Trump's file hoarding seems more overtly intentional, but it's also not like Biden had to hide them if nobody was looking for them, which it seems nobody was

This isn't the dems. This is between the National Archives and Records Administration, the Department of Justice, Trump, and his Lawyers.

It was reported that the white house wasn't briefed about the search warrant, and I find that perfectly plausible.

Strongly suspect that he didn't know that they were there. I'd give it more than 50% that he's responsible for them being there, but had forgotten or lost track of them after his election. Having said that, I don't know that there weren't other people at that office with some level of security clearance.
