I guess it's already happened, but this time seems like a bigger deal.
This is a bigger deal. These federal charges are way more serious than what he's facing in New York.
This is a bigger deal. Telling authorities you don't have top secret classified documents at your residence and allowing them to search certain rooms and then having them come back later with a warrant and finding them hidden in a bathroom (that they weren't allowed into originally) is really really bad.
It makes his other charge of using campaign donations for personal reasons look like jaywalking.
He was processed in New York, too. I'm going to guess that he's going to go through this process at least once more (in Georgia). I don't think he'll need to be fingerprinted and processed again if there are other federal charges while these are pending, but charges related to Jan. 6 might change his bail or conditions of release.
This is the biggest deal, imo. Having nuclear secrets, audio of him admitting he was breaking the law - and the public knowing about that, to me says they have much more ammo they'll be bringing to light in trial. I think he's screwed. I don't want to hold my breath, but this seems like it will really take him down.
