Oh, I don't think he is looking for money in return - he's looking for foreign help for another win in 2024.

You'd think he would sell agreements to support certain policies or actions in exchange for help. Not a classified document, like a peasant.

It's possible that the documents in question might help certain foreign countries (cough cough, Russia) get him elected again. Documents about vulnerabilities in US election systems, etc.

I seriously doubt that. People who spout GOP talking points will say this because it’s a GOP talking point, but everyone else finds it 100% believable that the FBI had probable cause for a search warrant.

It’s not a matter of believability. The FBI had to make a showing of PC to a federal magistrate by sworn oath. And you better damn well understand that the weight of evidence for such a showing had to be monumental, including that the documents were known to be there days if not hours before.

Like with the FISAs, right? And yet...

And yet those 25 boxes of classified documents...

he likes to feel important. why did he release the name of a person in IC to the Russians? it isn't for the $$. it is to feel like a big shot.

I can see him spilling info; he already did that. But I think it would be degrading to him to literally sell documents. It would be like El Chapo selling pot on a street corner.

You know you're talking about Trump, right? The purveyor of Trump Steaks.

Claiming what? That the FBI has to leave a receipt? That's the law. https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_41

Trump can release the receipt. He should also release the warrant as they often have an attachment with the proposed crimes, but we know that won’t happen because he does better on what ifs and fake rhetoric.

Yeah but he didnt personally sell them. He branded them, which is what people do to make a lot of money. I just find it implausible that Trump would sell the documents. How would he even do it? The typical ways people do this would not be available to him because, well, he is literally followed at all times by federal enforcement officers (secret service).

As for the "intelligence" about weaknesses in our election system- that is nonsensical. By its very nature, intelligence is information about other countries. So he would sell their own information back to them? Does thaf make any sense? "Vlad, you interfered with our election. Heres our report on how you did it." He knows how he did it, because he did it.

I don't know. Maybe you could leave them in an unsecured location in the basement of your hotel that is frequented by foreign visitors on a regular basis.

Classified information most certainly includes information about the US and its vulnerabilities (as well as its plans, capabilities, etc.). You have no idea what you are talking about.

Are you saying they should demand Trump release it or it should be released without his consent? I asked for a source because I thought you meant that the FBI didn't give Trump release a receipt of seized material. Trump's lawyer confirmed they took boxes.

Do you really think that Trump will turn down money if offered? Or "favors" in exchange for information? And can you imagine the sort of information he has access to that your average espionage nobodies have?

NP, but the sentence above obviously saying that they should demand Trump release it. He has the receipt.

Just once could Trump just release something without having to be begged, cajoled or sued into doing so? Maybe Sleazy Wheezy could just do the right thing for once.

Are you being deliberitly(sp) obtuse? He would sell (or give) Vlad information about other countries (ya know like he already did)

No, it didn't clearly state that. "Every Democrat in Congress should be demanding that Trump release the FBI warrant and receipt of seized materials," is clear.
