    LOL I wish, but I don't think that's a likely result of this branch
    of the many investigations, no matter how richly it may be deserved.

    "Live Updates: Documents Taken From Trump’s Home Included Classified
    Material

    Items removed from Mar-a-Lago included files marked as top secret and
    meant to be viewed only in secure government facilities, according to a
    copy of the warrant."

    "The Justice Department cited serious possible crimes in seeking the
    Mar-a-Lago warrant.

    A list of documents removed from former President Donald J. Trump’s
    Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, includes materials marked as top secret
    and meant to be viewed only in secure government facilities, according
    to a copy of the warrant reviewed by The New York Times.

    Federal agents who executed the warrant did so to investigate potential
    crimes associated with violations of the Espionage Act, which outlaws
    the unauthorized retention of national security information that could
    harm the United States or aid a foreign adversary; a federal law that
    makes it a crime to destroy or conceal a document to obstruct a
    government investigation; and another statute associated with unlawful
    removal of government materials."

    "The inventory for the warrant contains multiple entries for caches of documents marked classified that the F.B.I. removed from Mar-a-Lago,
    including four entries for “Miscellaneous Top Secret Documents” and
    another for “various classified/TS/SCI” documents,” which includes an acronym for “sensitive compartmented information,” an even more
    restricted type of top secret information. It also includes three
    entries for “Miscellaneous Secret Documents,” and, for the lowest level
    of classification, two entries for “Miscellaneous Confidential
    Documents” and another marked “Confidential Document.”"

    "The search warrant for Trump’s residence cited three criminal laws, all
    from Title 18 of the United States Code. Section 793, better known as
    the Espionage Act, which covers the unlawful retention of
    defense-related information that could harm the United States or aid a
    foreign adversary; Section 1519, which covers destroying or concealing documents to obstruct government investigations or administrative
    proceedings; and Section 2071, which covers the unlawful removal of
    government records. Notably, none of those laws turn on whether
    information was deemed to be unclassified."

    "'Defund the FBI' after Mar-a-Lago? What happened to conservatives' love
    for the badge?"

    "Their love for law enforcement is no more.

    Conservatives’ blind support for the badge ended on Monday after the
    FBI’s search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

    The “Defund the FBI” rallying cry came from the deepest corners of the
    MAGA world, from Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Green to Colorado’s Lauren Boebert to Arizona’s Paul Gosar.

    “We must destroy the FBI,” Gosar wrote on Twitter. “We must save America.”"
