He was caught. The subpoena was him being caught. Any sane person, including even his psycho mentor, Roy Cohn, would make the strategic decision to return the materials. It's the only move on the chess board.
What does Trump do? In perfect childlike fashion, in an act consistent with someone with pre-pubescent level stunted maturity, he decides to try to hide the stuff? Ok, so then there must be some value to his doing so, right? He must have run a cost/benefit. Nope. There is no value to his keeping the stuff. If the facts adduced to date are accurate, he doesn't even know the totality of what he withheld.
That is the act of someone whose mind is addled. And recall, this nutball is 78. If Biden is mentally compromised at 80, which appears so, why not Trump? Dementia + Mental Problems + Getting Away with Things. He's all three.
You only fight the obvious evidence of his mental problems because you seem to think they raise an insanity defense, or render him worthy of leniency. That's in your own head. I don't see that at all.
