What if the orange fuck was going to use them to buy Russia's interference in the 2024 election?
What if thought he didn't win 2020 because Russia was pretty hands-off compared to 2016, and he thought classified documents were the perfect currency to get Russia to install him in the White House again?
And now that the FBI has the documents back, he no longer has that bargaining chip?
Or did he make copies which he can still use?
The pundits keep saying he's going to declare his candidacy any minute now, yet he hasn't done it. Maybe now he doesn't have the means to buy this election?
Okay .... tinfoil hat off.

(47,131 posts)We would be foolish, naive and remiss not to do so.
It is mandatory if we wish to preserve our lives and the future of our country.
Trump is a ruthless narcissistic sociopath with a well documented life of crime.
And we know he was on a four year crime spree while in the WH.
We are still trying to figure out how bad it was and how much damage.

(10,903 posts)Old information is usually less valuable than recent information.
For example, a list of CIA agents from last year is more valuable than one from 5-10 years ago.

Novara
(5,843 posts)But why hasn't he done it yet?
Is it because he isn't sure he'd win if he can't sell America's secrets in order to get help getting elected?
Anyway, I'm getting too far into the weeds on this little conspiracy theory. It was just a thought.

(2,351 posts)his legal bills if he declares.
I don't think your idea is implausible.
But I think it would be to support him in the primary. They will probably do whatever they can for him in the general regardless.

(53,787 posts)worked perfectly. He has bought nothing but chaos, confusion, division and degradation of our institutions and democracy. It's just was Putin was after.
A second trump term with republicans havingt Congressional majorities would complete the destruction of our democracy and then nation would descend into a fascistic dystopia subservient to Putin/Russia, as trump is.
