Do people on the left truly believe this wasn’t politically motivated? Really? I would personally estimate that there is a 0% chance it was not. That Trump is still front and center on Democrat’s minds is astounding to me.
Have you ever handled classified data? Do you even understand what it is?
At it's basic core, our system of classification is to restrict access to information that, if public, would cause harm to the United States. The degree of harm is quantified by how it is classified. For example, Top Secret information is considered so sensitive that it's release would cause catastrophic harm to the country.
Improper storage of information that could cause catastrophic harm to the United States is a tremendously huge deal. Imagine something like nuclear launch codes, just sitting in an unlocked basement closet in a golf resort.
You're suggesting that the motivation for going and collecting those codes is somehow politically motivated. It isn't. In fact, that take is ignorant. Perhaps you are not understanding how serious that situation is, so I have explained it above. Or perhaps that ignorance is wilful, in which case you should ask yourself why you're blinding yourself.
