This is a very, very bad reason to go to jail.
. It is possible for a political leader to maintain his support in the face of criminal charges. Generally, this requires that leader to claim either that he is innocent of the crime or that he is willing to violate an unjust law in order to advance some higher purpose.
Here is the exchange. Trump says the government is asking him to return the classified documents he took.
Okay, so the government wants the boxes back, and Trump hasn’t gone through them all yet. So then he orders his aide to move the boxes to fool the Feds, exposing himself to even more serious criminal liability. Trump does not deny this to Baier!BAIER: Yeah. [crosstalk] But according to the indictment, you then tell this aide to move to other locations after telling your lawyers to say you’d fully complied with the subpoena, when you hadn’t.
So Trump, by his own account, is facing felony charges because he didn’t want to hand over boxes that might contain his golf duds. He had to hold the boxes and search them all, lest he part with a cherished pair of pants. This is a very, very bad reason to go to prison.
