Was Trump Selling Access to Top Secret Documents?
An examination of possible motives
That, in and of itself, is a pretty huge deal. It is also eye-opening, given recent reporting from CNN that the grand jury investigating the theft of the documents had subpoenaed them back in June. In fact, the whole purpose of the FBI warrant was that they had probable cause to believe he did not hand all the documents over. And if the warrant confirms reporting from The Times, they were correct.
This leaves us with three distinct possibilities:
- Trump made copies; and/or
- He didn’t lawfully comply with a subpoena from a federal grand jury; and/or
- He and his team lied to the FBI.
All three of these are bad. So why is he going to such lengths to keep the information he took? Is he selling it? Is he passing it to foreign countries? National Security experts were surprised that the chief counterintelligence official at the Department of Justice, Jay Bratt, signed off on the motion to unseal the warrant. https://medium.com/politically-speaking/was-trump-selling-access-to-top-secret-documents-5c23bc4df9fb
