According to an article in last night's Washington Post, Tom Fitton, who has a bachelor's degree in English from George Washington University, was instrumental in convincing former president Trump to retain classified documents after leaving office. Fitton, who has no legal experience or education, is president of Judicial Watch -- which Media Bias Fact Check rates as "Questionable based on extreme right-wing bias, promotion of conspiracy theories, and an abysmal fact-check record".

Trump time and again rejected the advice from lawyers and advisers who urged him to cooperate and instead took the advice of Tom Fitton, the head of the conservative group Judicial Watch, and a range of others who told him he could legally keep the documents and should fight the Justice Department, advisers said. Trump would often cite Fitton to others, and Fitton told some of Trump's lawyers that Trump could keep the documents, even as they disagreed, the advisers said.

Well, sure, who among us hasn't sought legal advice from an English major? Fitton has single-handedly walked Trump into an indictment, and there's nothing he can do to save him now.

If Trump ends up in federal prison thanks to non-lawyer Tom Fitton's advice, it'll be the only worthwhile work Judicial Watch has ever done.
