So the search warrant cites the statutes under which documents are considered classified -- this is boiler plate.

The Agent's sworn probable cause statement is about improper storage of sensitive materials.  That's it ?

Seriously.  ?!?!

C'mon.  This is literally the same as not locking your computer workstation when you go on a break - and hence anyone could look at your work.  If anyone thinks he's getting strung up on this - get a reality check.  Any judge looking at the case probably has a dozen case files sitting on his coffee table at home instead of his secured court chambers.

There's nothing to see here, people, I suggest just moving along to the next hangable offense...

There are real issues in the world which need time and attention.

The word you're looking for is "stolen."  They're not his.  They asked for them back and he refused. His lawyers lied to the FBI that they had given all of them back.

If YOU took one of those TS/SCI documents, they'd send you up the river for years.  Ask Reality Winner.  Stole 1, got 5 years.  What makes Trump special? Why does the law not apply to him? How do you know what's on those documents?  How do you know he didn't show them to unauthorized people just to show off?  He has a history of it. The guy gave code-word classified information to the Russians without anyone else in the room when he first got in office just to show off.  He's tweeted intel photos. As president, he (sadly) had the authority to do stuff like that.  Today, not so much.  He's not the president, he's just some guy. He has no more privilege than you unless Biden decides otherwise.

That covers a very broad range of activities.  

With respect to USC 793(c), the government is alleging at least the following:

So no matter how you slice it, this is about more than simply the improper storage of sensitive materials.  

What we don't know:

With all the talk of "launch codes" and whatnot I've seen in these types of discussions, it should probably be noted that these 'codes' are likely they type of passwords/passcodes that are changed frequently enough that whatever 'launch code' Trump had in January 2020 probably isn't the 'launch code' that Biden could use this very moment.
HOWEVER, the danger is in a foreign power who could provide similar 'launch codes' derived from the algorithm that generates those codes at whatever frequency they change them. Sussing out the correct current code may be a statistically improbably, but it goes toward knowing our processes. HOW we do things in our military, our precise capabilities, our assets around the world, our intelligence agencies, whether on the ground or through cyber intelligence capabilities.
If he had documentation that was crucial in detailing how we get intelligence from foes or friends alike, THAT is an serious issue. Even those things that are considered innocuous in it's own vacuum, combined with other gleaned intel that a country may have on the US (that's the 'compartmentalized' part of SCI), could be enough to pose a threat.

I was referring to the search warrant and not the affidavit, although I do have to admit I was incorrect in that the attachments to the warrant do refer to the warrant covering documents with classification markings.

However the point remains that the warrant refutes Geoffrey’s assertion that the nature of the classified material was not part of the probable cause for the raid. 

Judge Cannon's latest ruling: "In the absence of any affidavits and declarations contesting the Government's affidavits and declarations, the court agrees with the absent affidavits and declarations."

In these rulings, Cannon makes it clear that there is NO law; there is NO order.

-C!
