His only defense I see is an assertion that he did not look in the boxes - a "blame the staff" argument. But that seems to fall on its face because DOJ was asking for the return of items and at that point he had to have knowledge that he had stuff he shouldn't have had. He can't claim he was not involved in returning the things he returned or retaining those he was supposed to return. Nobody - not even Trump - is that clueless and detached.
On his best day he's in the willful ignorance bucket.
Now the Ds and Rs should get together and tell him they'll agree not to prosecute if he agrees not to run for office again. He has to agree to toll the stat of lims indefinitely. If he breaks the deal, he gets prosecuted.
