Nah, he just had a bunch of classified government documents stashed in a bathroom.

Which he should have gone to prison for.

Right, but that's not related to these emails as far as anyone knows.

If I recall that case was dismissed without prejudice, which means they can fix the bullshit issue Judge Cannon came up with to delay things, re-indict him and ideally convict his ass. Can't use executive privilege as a defense (no matter how strained) for shit you do after you leave office. That'll kick up a mountain of idiots on Xitter screaming about "double jeopardy" despite not knowing how any of that works though.

Assuming of course he doesn't get reelected and pardon himself or some equally absurd bullshit.

Not saying they're related to the emails directly, but it's a similar idea of storing important national information in secret where you aren't allowed.
