Ehhh the thing that doesn't fit the Kushner theory is, unless Trump was complicit, he probably would've given the nuke stuff back when he was subpoena'd earlier this year, or even before that, in January, when they took like 15 boxes back to NARA. Someone could've made copies by then, of course. But still, there were so many other top secret documents in addition to a nuclear assessment. Unless alllllllllll of these docs pertain to the assessment, which is also possible, I guess. Seems like a huge volume of things to frame someone with. Maybe that's why DoJ has subpoena'd the Mar-a-Lago security cam footage? Thank god geopolitics is super stable at the moment. This should be fine! No but seriously I cannot believe how fucking wild this is. Hey and guess who runs district 11, where judge Cannon is currently shitting on our judicial system? Clarence Thomas. Maybe Cannon gets her nails done with Ginni Thomas every other weekend, y'know? Edit: I just realized, now that I'm better at understanding the reactionary mind; Trump probably woke up on January 7th, 2021, read through all the resignations, and thought "Wow... there's almost nobody around the White House but my most hardcore Nazibois. I wonder how many documents are in the average box, and how many boxes fit in a U-Haul". Consciously using the post-J6 chaos to steal state secrets. This guy's crimes nest like hand-carved babushkas all the way down to the sub-atomic scale. Amazing.
Have you read Mary Trump's book? There's a great scene in it in which Mary, age six or seven, sees Donald, all of twenty five years, walk into the kitchen of Fred Trump and family, open the refrigerator, grab a stick of butter and take three or four bites off of it. It doesn't mean anything. It says nothing about the man's political proclivities. But it paints a hell of a picture. The man is a careless, disinterested idiot. He spent his presidency golfing. When he was handed graphics that didn't match his narrative, he drew on them in Sharpie. I used to work in the Fisherman's Terminal. I'd go out and walk during my lunch break, have my sandwich on the pier. A nice Ethiopian guy walked up to me once and asked me if I knew the way to the merchant marine. I said I didn't. He asked me if I was in the merchant marine. I said I wasn't. Then he asked me if I liked to party, and held out a hockey puck of black tar heroin. I've never done heroin. I'll never do heroin. But every now and then I wish I had bought a fucking hockey puck of heroin because then I'd have a hockey puck of heroin. I had a jar of mercury for a while. Why? Because a friend said "I figured you'd want this" and he was right. I'd be lying if I didn't at least partly plan to hang onto the plutonium. If I had a bunch of nuclear secrets? I would go "I wonder if I could keep these just... you know, to have them. Because they're fucking cool." But I'm not a sociopath, and I know I would never ever ever ever ever get away with it, and I know that it's a completely pointless risk, and that's why I don't have a spare puck of heroin in the drawer. I don't eat butter by the stick, let alone someone else's. I doubt Trump acquired a bunch of documents on Jan 7th like an angry ex decamping her boyfriend's apartment. I think he stashed cool shit away for four years and left with all "his" stuff.
Maybe. It might explain one of the excuses he trotted out, which was "Trump had a standing order to declassify anything he took into his personal residence at the white house, and he didn't even have to tell anyone about it". But I've also heard "Well things were just so chaotic after the sixth, before he left office, that no one was able to keep track of things like classified documents". It's probably a bit of both. All I know is we, the people, deserve to know more. As much as we can without compromising state secrets or compromising geopolitical relationships. I dunno where that line will be, but we ain't up to it yet.I doubt Trump acquired a bunch of documents on Jan 7th like an angry ex decamping her boyfriend's apartment.
