Little Marco shrugs off Trump's Mar-a-Lago scandal as 'a storage argument'

During an interview with a local news outlet on Sunday, Republican Senator Marco Rubio (FL) downplayed the federal investigation into Donald Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents.

“This is really at its core a storage argument that they’re making,” Rubio told NBC 6. “They’re arguing there are documents there, they don’t deny that he should have access to those documents, but they deny they were properly stored.”

“I don’t think a fight over storage of documents is worthy of what they’ve done, which is a full-scale raid and then these constant leaks,” he continued. “That’s the second problem. It’s the PR behind all this.”

Documents at Trump's Florida home were "likely concealed" to obstruct an FBI probe into his potential mishandling of classified materials, the Justice Department said in a court filing last week.

As I said in another thread, if he returned the missing documents it's unlikely he would have been raided.

I would have been pissed off, instead they grovel and lie for him.

Not that I expect much from Marco - but shit man, that’s just laughable nonsense.
