That's not what the 11th Circuit ruled, they said argument was unresponsive and not considered at all because a "personal interest in or ownership of a seized document is not synonymous with the need for its return", an element required under the claim he was making, but regardless, that was just noted legal opinion, the actual judicial ruling was the lack of equitable jurisdiction.

A year and a half is irrelevant, the only statute referring to any expectation of duration states two and a half years.

Come on man. One 77 year old Trump allowed 28 days to diligently review these documents does not adequately compare to 30 FBI agents in their prime and 9 hours.

Even under the most generous and favorable conditions, that would still take Trump working 9 hours a day non-stop for 30 days straight.

At 77 his reading ability would be 30% of that of the FBI agents, so make that 40 days. There's simply no possible chance he could have accomplished this.

Moreover, there's no data on how many documents they went through, I guessed this at around 86,000. Of these, they seized 22,000 and after months of review, found 31 they feel he wasn't suppose to have.

31 out of 22,000 does not, a diligent search make. It means they glanced at each one for a few seconds and just grabbed the whole box if any document had a marking on it.

I agree with the plausibility of it being an open and shut, but not in favor of the prosecution and I am really trying to find something I can believe in here.
