> But he didn't, so too bad.
In medieval Iceland, you could be declared an outlaw (effectively a death sentence) for all sorts of reasons, including presenting your case before a jury of the incorrect number of people. Such harsh punishment for a procedural error probably strikes most people today as bizarre and excessive.
What you have conceded is that Trump isn't actually being prosecuted for doing anything with the documents, or even for having them, but for simply failing to place the proper rubber stamp on them before taking them.
How exactly do you expect this to play out in the courts, or in public opinion? Do you really think they care about this kind of thing when politicians blatantly mishandle classified documents all the time, without serious repercussion.
