Another good post, but I don’t think the DNA would tell us who he or Jared sold them to.
And that’s important. Maybe even more important.
And that folks is how you spot
the “Go to JAIL” job!
If you are the one signing the truthfulness and accuracy statement … and it turns out you attested to falsehoods… you be in a world of hurt and have a chance at an extended stay in the Gray-bar Hotel!

So he gets revenge via releasing names (AKA obstruction) and then calls Garland to cover his fat ass (Oh dearie me, what can I do?). he is sooo transparent. Will be interesting to hear Maddow;s take on Monday.

He already has hired Findling I think. And I’d bet Findling is getting the money up front!

I you know this how? More likely she’s got criminal liability herself and might want to throw her own law license away so cavalierly…

Correction: “Stolen nuclear secrets”
Frankly, it’s not clear yet whether Twitler was actually aware of what was in many of those boxes. The big question is who was DRI for getting those boxes out of DC and down to Mar-a-Largo. I think Hutchinson might have helped move them but who was assigned to figure out which boxes to move? Meadows? Someone on NSC staff? It’s really not clear. Certainly one or more of the Twisslerings are in a world of legal hurt here, the question is who are those people? Pretty sure those folks will have lawyered up by now if they’re not planning to immediately spill everything to the Feds.

Check out Marcy Wheeler’s “Emptywheel blog”. She speculates why the documents seized were split into to receipts. Her idea is one receipt was for classified stuff that fits under Espionage law that must be prosecuted in FL, and the other receipt is doc mishandling stuff that would be prosecuted in DC. Fun read.

Probably not near enough though.
And your probable cause on each of these is …?
I think that’s Pam Bondi. But I’m sure she’s Pam Blondie to Trump, who wouldn’t remember his own first son’s name if it weren’t DJT, Jr.

Even if she’s telling the truth, Christina Bobb wasn’t allowed to look at this stuff. There were CLEARLY MARKED Top Secret documents. She has no clearance.
WTF???

He didn’t declassify anything.
The top secret sci docs at MAL were NOT stamped “DECLASSIFIED”
If you don’t have clearance, and you pick one of these up, you’re breaking at least one law.

He took classified documents from the White House and tried to conceal them when called on it. It is reasonable to assume he has more purloined materials stashed elsewhere.

Is it? Suppose all missing materials are now accounted for. What would the object of the warrant be? What probable cause (which is more than a reason to assume) that the particular item is likely to be found at a particular place?
All you got is speculation. A warrant based on that would lead to a poisoned tree.
Copy machines are common today. It is a reasonable assumption that he made copies.
Wow! I had not realized that “Mar-a-Lago,” whatever that means, was such a tastefully-designed “club.” Really classy! Too bad the Mountbattens, Windsors and the rest didn’t see it sooner, they’d have had Buckingham Palace and their other residences razed and replaced with high-class landmarks such as this shrine to good taste.
I don’t have the slightest doubt he: a) took the docs because he thought they were marketable and, b) he has sold some, if not all of them already.
