No other US President was ever cavalier in handling classified documents because they understood the risks that Americans and American assets took in obtaining the intelligence in the first place. Respecting the national security protocols in handling classified material = respect for those who gather the intelligence. Trump never gave a shit about anyone other than himself.
No other US President ever stole classified documents upon leaving office.
No other US President would have refused to return classified material, even when asked discreetly to do so, and certainly after receiving a subpoena.
No other US President would contemplate using the classified material for personal or monetary gain, or destroying the classified material.
No other US President would risk having the classified material fall into the wrong hands. Mar-a-Lago is not a secure facility.
Even giving Trump every benefit of the doubt (why would we?), his actions regarding this classified material was egregious. The execution of the search warrant was the proper remedy.
There is good cause why this search warrant is unprecedented.
