Apart from the fact that the insanity defense is only rarely successful - the defendant must either not understand the nature of his acts, or that they were wrong - TFG would find the whole idea completely insulting. And, of course, if you are adjudged legally insane you don't get to just go home; you end up in a mental hospital for some indefinite period of time.

I thought he might be setting up an NGRI plea with this statements that classified documents were his personal property.
He sounds delusional.

Yes I know he is a narcissist, but also a ruthless sociopath and that part might win out.
