“Some people say!”Trump deflecting, says in a new statement: “President Barack Hussein Obama kept 33 million pages of documents, much of them classified. How many of them pertained to nuclear? Word is, lots!”

"But people say Obama did it!”Notice how no one says "it's totally implausible that Trump would remove classified documents from the White House because he has too much integrity to do that." Not even his Republican claque.

And under the Espionage Act:“I mean, if he had actual Special Access Programs — do you know how extraordinarily sensitive that is? That’s very, very sensitive," said Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah). "If that were actually at his residence, that would be a problem." https://t.co/OcSVJZ7Hm2

This has all become a lot more serious than previously assumed. Mostly because we didn’t think Trump was that stupid and venal. Turns out it’s impossible to hold him in low enough regard.In addition, the defense information doesn’t need to consist of some treatise. It includes any of the following, which would include, say, satellite imagery (which we already know Trump has a fascination for) pic.twitter.com/6qHyQaj9dD

The only reason Trump would have taken nuclear secrets would be to try to sell them for money or something in exchange. And if he did it I'm sure there were those in his crime family who were the ones to actually have some idea what to steal that would be worth money. I can't help but wonder about those huge influxes of cash into Jarod's and Mnuchin's accounts in regard to this. I'm sure the murderous Prince of Saud would love to have the bomb. And after finding out about his hundred-mile-long building plans, he's world-class insane with jillions to spend on such a project.
