Somethings still hasn't made any sense to me?

Trump had all those top secret papers in his tiny hands for over a year. Wasn’t he smart enough to know what was what? He kept the them for momentous reasons? Did he have someone read them him and tell him their value of their top secret status? He surely didn’t read them all(his attention span could not keep up)? Did he flush, shred or eat any of the papers? We know more than likely he sold items to other leaders which puts our country in a dire straight situation and could get people hurt or killed?

Bottom line! I know AG Garland is working as fast as he can, but if that were me or you? We be indicted and charge then locked up? I know patience is a virtue, but Trump is trying quite hard to push my patience thru the roof!

We are in an all new area of what to do with a corrupt President. I know Garland dots every I and crosses every T.
Trying to respect the US presidency and still address treason within it.

5. I suspect he insulted potential buyers with an astronomical asking price

That greedy Gollum may have wanted to sell for an asking price that was out of range for everyone. Plus he may have seen it as a bargaining chip to be used to be reinstated into power. Couldn't you imagine him trying to hold our nation hostage so he could get what he wanted?

Was in charge of those documents Before Trump's greasy little hamberder fingers were pawing them over. Who didn't account for those documents? Trump had help from inside top security agencies. I want those folks held accountable, as well as the orange traitor.

8. there are certainly other people bearing responsibility

and I'm not at all sure that, "the president told me" is going to wash away that legally prescribed responsibility. Guess we'll find out. (that part of it will almost certainly end up in court)

He could use them or sell them at the right time to the right customer.
