He has never denied taking classified documents. He has never denied not returning them despite having been subpoenaed to do so. There is ample evidence of his trying to hide documents and lying in saying he'd returned everything. I'm sure Jack Smith can get a conviction, although he might have to get it from a jury instead of this biased judge.
