Same here. I just figured I wasn’t social enough, or had enough truthiness…
Count me in as another one who’d never heard of it.
Sounds like a singles bar that would cater to conspiracy theorists.
Reuters is announcing that the National Archives has made a referral to the DOJ to investigate Donald Trump for possible crimes regarding document retention:
See!! The Deep State™ really is out to get him!!
Idunno.
IANAL, but a quick glance at both the underlying law:
Presidential Records (44 U.S.C. Chapter 22)
And its revision in 2014:
Makes me wonder. Specifically, points like:
Allows the incumbent President to dispose of records that no longer have administrative, historical, informational, or evidentiary value, once the views of the Archivist of the United States on the proposed disposal have been obtained in writing.
and
Establishes that Presidential records automatically transfer into the legal custody of the Archivist as soon as the President leaves office.
I’m willing to wager that the Archivist never signed off on what’s in boxes at Mar-A-Lago. I’m also willing to wager that the boxes being at Mar-A-Lago isn’t legally equivalent to being in ‘the legal custody of the Archivist.’
Whether or not he broke the law, whether the DOJ will try to indict and prosecute, and whether or not there could be a conviction … pffft. Who knows.
But I wouldn’t let this one go (in our hive mind) just yet 
And the next subpoena goes to…
The select House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot issued a subpoena to Peter Navarro, who had served as trade advisor to former President Donald Trump…
Also not a lawyer, but I just wrote some commentary on this subject in another thread:
No surprise the evil milksop is siding here with the Orange Baboon over the Turtle.
Putting it in this thread with hopes the internecine rift wiil widen.
Classified documents were apparently found in those 15 boxes, hence the referral:
I can already see both hands waving in the air.
FAKE DOCUMENTS!!!1!!!
Both tiny hands.
“And they were planted!”
Not classified, but perfect documents. The best documents.
A clerk walked up to him, with tears in his eyes, to shake his hand, and said, “Sir, thank you for making such perfect documents. Writing everything in Sharpie shows how much of a stable genius you are.”
And mean little critters. That’s a mighty dark story.
Okay, classified documents. I’m sure marked as such. And no paperwork detailing that those classified documents are not classified, such as TFG could do while in office, supposedly. His calling them declassified now would seem to be an invalid statement, yes? He’ll do it anyway, though. “I declassified those last year.”
I think it’s insanely funny that he took the Sharpied hurricane map with him…
Flushing documents down the toilet, both before and after eating them.
So Trumpian.
“Well, that hurricane–I knew it was heading for Alabama. That’s why I drew it in. Why it didn’t hit there, I don’t know, but Alabamians are very fine people. Very fine people, they are. Listen, I’m a genius, alright? I knew where that storm was going. It just didn’t go where it should have, where I predicted (chuckle). No, of course, I do not want Americans to be hurt. And they weren’t, thanks to me…”
Stay classy, Donald.
