It is estimated that there are more than 1.2 million documents, and the search for additional batches is ongoing across federal judicial districts, purportedly in full compliance with the law. Thus far, three batches have been released, which have received minimal review by the DOJ. However, here's the rub: upon release, scholars and researchers have screen-captured the documents only to discover that some files were deleted after the fact when they were already in the public domain. That's obstruction of justice.
Multiple people from this or his previous administration have already gone to jail, lost their law licence or been pardoned by the president. That sets the tone for future developments. All of this will likely lead to Trump's third impeachment, and thanks to the DOJ's alleged conduct, he is likely not only to be impeached by the House but also convicted at trial in the Senate.
Then will come the question of presidential immunity and whether it provides partial or full immunity for a former president. If the SCOTUS rules that immunity ends upon leaving office, then Trump will be in serious legal jeopardy.
Thanks to the DOJ, the genie is now out of the bottle, and nothing this administration does will change that. It's no longer a matter of if but more a question of when the victims will finally receive true justice.
