Oh, they'll charge him with SOMETHING, even if the charge is bogus and will end up being tossed, at which point the narrative will become "A judge let him off on a technicality - Orange Man Bad!"  The screams will become even louder if the charges are tossed by a Trump-appointed judge.

Charges will be timed for maximum political damage before the election. This is all banana-republic style electioneering.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

A federal judge has granted Trump's request for a special master to review the items taken by the FBI from his Mar-a-Lago residence.

Have the "Third Party Independent" folks the government appoints to Trump related things been good for Trump in the past?  It seems like all the special prosecutors or special councils that he got while Congress was digging ended up doing more harm than good, but I confess I probably don't know all of them.

In the end, it may ultimately boil down to this.  Crazy stuff from the DoJ with regard to Trump lately.

I heard on TV that the DOJ is now trying to figure out how to charge Trump . . . because they didn't find incriminating documents they were looking for!

I repeat. This is not about Trump, it's about us. It's about what they can get away with when doing this to the little guy who won't make the news when it happens to him. The one who will sit in prison for a year(s) with no bail and no charges. Or who will do whatever they tell him to do, because he can't afford to go bankrupt fighting illegal and false charges.

You have only to look at the 06JAN statements (confessions) of people who were arrested for trespassing whose lives were ruined and who were trying to mitigate the damages to themselves by writing "statements" reminiscent of what the North Vietnamese got from prisoners during that war.

I believe it's why even some left-leaning people are questioning this whole fiasco.

Has Sandy Berger visited Mar A Lago recently?

The judge picks. DOJ and Trumps team each make their own recommendation. The judge may try to get them to agree on someone.

I want to see something from the Secret Service. Considering the facility was under their watch, he room in question guarded by them, and the documents in question already known to them and in their care, where do they stand on this whole mess? Either they were in on it, or they weren't.

Pretty sure the USSS has a non involvement policy on the people they protect.  They won't watch, notice, or comment on what you do so protectees are less likely to try and ditch them for shady things.

Kinda figured that was the case, but it still seems odd. Double odd seeing as that room was specially outfitted for security at the direction of (specific agency I can't remember) and USS security was considered fine until a few months ago. Infers that the DOJ didn't trust them to keep the room and its contents secure. If I were the USSS, I would be pissed.

The issue is not that the room was insecure (although it was, by default) the issue is that DJT no longer has Need-To-Know, or indeed authorization to hold ANY US government records, much less classified ones. 

The other issue is, of course, the unprecedented and heavy handed way the .gov went about addressing the first issue.

You don't have access to the necessary information to make that claim, and if you do you just committed your own crime.
