They're going to be crafting defenses of all his illegal acts (mostly everything he does) because that's what he's going to instruct them to do.

He thinks everything is his. Hence his statements about taking women, taking Kharg Island, his rapist talk.

He didn't just take the documents, he even took artifacts loaned to the US government from other countries that happened to be on display at the white house during his tenure. Ancient Israeli pottery lamps belonging to the Israeli Antiquities Authority, loaned to the White House in 2019 for a Hanukkah event, became stranded at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate aftser he took them upon leaving office.
