“Of course they did! They may have been the boxes etc. that were openly and plainly brought from the White House, as is my right under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump posted on social media.

    You actually don't understand my argument. What you're talking about now is WHY I think trump broke the law. It has nothing to do with oaths of office. Oaths of office do NOT create a legal duty. That code, as well as the administrative law around

    without authority

    from that code is what creates a legal duty.

      I understand your argument, don't be patronizing.

      No I don't care what you think about Trump or if he broke the law.

      It does, you swear to follow the law they make you take it specifically so they can increase penalties, it quite literally increases legal responsibility.
