Info on Presidential Records Act:

"There are no criminal penalties or an enforcement mechanism associated with this law but other federal laws do punish folks for mishandling government records.

For instance, under U.S. Code Title 18, section 2071, someone could face a fine and up to three years in prison.

No former presidents have actually been penalized for breaking this law if someone were to be found guilty of mishandling government records, they could face penalties under other federal laws and could be “disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”

I don't think they would be able to disqualify him, just convict him of a felony. Though the way the Constitution is interpreted, a politician could shoot his opponent dead, and if the people vote for him, he can still become President.

We are in that weird timeframe where they haven’t been told what to think yet by the Dilbert guy.

Hmmm...just what sort of classified nuclear documents might Trump have purloined?

Probably launch codes to be used only if the USSC ever rules against him.

Yeah, he's the sort of schmuck who would say "If I go down, so does the rest of the world."

Or maybe it was info about our cutting edge projects in DARPA and elsewhere: heck, he'll need to have something to give to Putin when he's charged and flees to Russia for sanctuary.

Jail to the Chief!!

Fox News Anchors Invite Trump to Call In After Garland Presser: ‘We’ll Open the Phone Line’

Foxnews tried to get Trump to call in live right after Garland called his bluff
WTF
Was foxnews looking for F bombs from Trump? It's the only reaction when your bluff gets called

I still can't figure what this BS is about negotiating for the release of the documents he wasn't supposed to be keeping anyway.
