Sorry Sam I refuse to argue with a straw man of your making. you are misrepresenting what CP is saying about the FBI admitting to mishandling classified documents. No one has to prove any thing the FBI admitted To the mishandling of the evidence it is tainted. The judge now has to figure out what to do with the tainted evidence and if the prosecution still has a case.
Here, you're arguing that Trump kept these highly-classified documents in a secure location. Aside from being irrelevant (he didn't have a right to possess the documents at all), there is nothing to suggest, from this photo or otherwise, that documents were moved from one room to another during collection before being identified.
So we've got a series of non sequiturs in service of a predetermined conclusion. Personally, I doubt even Judge Cannon is going to go for that when and if these matters come to a point of ruling and I've yet to see anyone even try to explain why the preservation of document order, in this case, is important.
In the Hur investigation of Biden, document order actually was important to Hur's case, as he alleged that Biden personally curated the contents of containers. No one here has yet complained that Hur's team mishandling the order in those containers invalidates the investigation, let alone proves that the investigation was a frame-up. In the Mar-a-Lago case, document order isn't nearly as important, as the prosecution only needs to show that Trump possessed these documents, knew of their existence at Mar-a-Lago, and refused to return them.

But you can't just say "Chain of Evidence" and have it mean something it doesn't. There have not been allegations that the documents were handled by anyone outside the recorded chain of custody.

First off, I should have said "Chain of Custody", which is the more proper description of the problem (I'm multi-tasking way too much).
There is a reason that collected evidence is documented every time it changes hands, locations, who is involved, who witnessed....
FBI Bungling May Collapse Mar-a-Lago Case Against Trump
It should be noted that neither the indictment nor the government’s filing back-up Bump’s claim that Trump staff packed the GSA documents and sent them to former President Trump. If the government could prove the Trump people packed up the GSA boxes, it might have been claimed in either the indictment or this filing. Further, we have the additional complication that somebody repacked four pallets of these documents for shipping. Those people may need to be tracked down to nail down the chain of custody. Again, with the FBI’s history of framing people to get Trump, every gap in the chain of custody looks suspicious.
At best, the government is going to have to waste valuable resources rehabilitating the compromised chain of evidence and explaining why its lapses don’t sink the case. Short of that, the case may just have disintegrated.
Evidence is best collected, SEALED, and preserved intact for trial.

I think that they noticed that there was something wrong with the order of documents is enough to have an investigation. It doesn't mean anything was done improperly though. For example they had to scan the documents in the boxes. they might have put them back in the box out of order when doing so. But if they find documents missing or added, that would be a problem.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Well in cases where documents are evidence, they need to be reviewed to see what is incriminating or relevant and what is not. That means handling the documents, at least to scan them. Then the scanned docs are loaded into a database and filtered, sorted, reviewed and tagged. That is actually what I do at the law firm I work at.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
