I'm just waiting for him to slip up in an interview and admit "I couldn't return all of them, because I sold some to the Saudis"....

Nah. He'd spin it as doing a great service for the nation of Saudi Arabia and how they "Begged and pleaded" with him to sell them the documents. Of course he gladly did because he's a good guy. A great guy. Probably, no definitely best guy ever and couldn't say no.
Wouldn’t make any difference in his approval ratings among R and his campaign fundraising.
If anything it will only help his chances of getting elected
Trial starts in April, after the primary but before the election.
I hope it’s done before November. I also hope Jack smith starts investigating judge cannon for all these favors she’s doing trump.
As much as I really hope so too, I'm not sure the trial will be completed by November. Even without likely obstruction, trails can take years.
Criminal trials can and are much shorter- especially theyrr have a start date.
Basically? It’s a trip through the evidence and a jury makes a decision. All the evidence will already be settled before hand (and smith runs a tight ship.) started in April? I don’t think trump/cannon can delay that long.
Why, in a world where photocopiers exist, would even Trump be stupid enough to remove the original documents and not immediately put them back?
Not that he's a serial rule follower, but to copy classified docs you generally need 2 people. Copy machines in areas where classified docs are stored all operate this way.
If you take them out of their storage areas that's a different story, but of anyone sees you with a classified doc on a regular old copy machine it will be immediately clear you're breaking the rules. Also classified docs must be in their cover sheets which are bright orange/red so they are easily identified, or (again) people will know you're up to no good. Outside of secure areas they're also supposed to be in a double zipped and locked courier bag so there's that.
Better than binders full of women, I guess
