Because he can’t prove he declassified documents “with his mind”, Trump now claims anything he took off the White House grounds was “personal”, even while claiming some permanent version of executive privilege. Similarly, declaring a 2024 candidacy protects him from prosecution, but his hope is that we all hallucinated that pea. Will he get free air-time from MSM?

Trump is going nuts pushing all sorts of election conspiracy stuff today on Truth Social. Worth keeping in mind that election denial was just soundly rejected by voters in competitive states. Maybe that'll change with Trump on the ballot. But seems like a losing hand for the GOP.
Former President Donald Trump’s bizarre and insanely early rollout of his 2024 presidential campaign has former prosecutors accusing him of simply seeking cover from a potential federal criminal indictment. But those same legal experts say Trump announcing his candidacy would at best only delay a prosecution—and at worst cause a MAGA insurrection.
“Trump put down a marker. He thinks that’ll give him some political cover,” James D. Zirin, a former federal prosecutor, said of Trump’s decision to announce. “It’ll put him in a stronger position to fire up his base and claim the whole thing is a political witch hunt and send them out into the streets.”
While another violent insurrection would be a worst-case scenario, Trump announcing for president will make the Justice Department more skittish about indicting him—but only because the Department of Justice is so concerned about appearances.

But at this point, the DOJ is far enough along with its investigations to potentially indict Trump. A California federal judge has already revealed that Trump signed off on voter fraud allegations in a lawsuit that he knew at the time were false, potentially bolstering any prosecution for Trump’s unprecedented attempt to cling to power. And a federal appellate court has given federal prosecutors the freedom to review all of the classified documents recovered at Mar-a-Lago, a case that could simply boil down to whether or not Trump was in possession of them—which he was.
