Alan Dershowitz, 83, said there are 'enough reasons to indict Trump, but not because it does not meet the 'Nixon-Clinton's requirements.' The lawsuit must be'so overwhelmingly positive that even Republicans endorse it,' he said, and it must be'more serious than Clinton's.' 'In my view, there are enough facts here to indict Trump, but not indict him,' he said.' People shouldn't blame Judge Bruce Reinhart, who approved the warrant, but Attorney General Merrick Garland for it, according to the solicitor. The issue was not with Reinhart; it was with the attorney general, who didn't follow his own rules,' he said.

A Secret Service workers voted out Trump because they're'sworn law enforcement' and have a duty to report a felony, according to Karl Rove, 71. They have no legal responsibility for classified information...[but] they have a responsibility to report a felony,' he said. He also said that the National Archive, which deals with classified information, was probably already suspicious when Trump said not to have documents. Despite Trump's counsel's claim that they did not have any, Rove said the Archive would know how many documents were found and how many were missing, even though Rove said they didn't have any. The former Bush Deputy Chief of Staff blasted Trump, saying he didn't know why Trump would'hold onto these documents if he had no legal right to do so.' The Presidential Records Act is straightforward,' the former Trump campaign aide said. A president does not have the right to leave the White House and pick and choose which papers he wants to carry with him.' He can request copies, but those are the property of the American people, and no president has been left with sorting and choosing their own papers since 1978.'
