11. I believe there is more to the documents case than the public is ever likely to know.

Trump was told that he could not legally take documents when he left office. He did it anyways. He also took boxes of classified documents on trips to other countries, and those boxes were left in his hotel room. Why were they not left on AF One where they would be guarded? Presumably most of those documents had nothing to do with the trip he was on. Were they guarded in his hotel room? And if not because the SS would be with Trump, was there an arrangement for spies to access the documents there? That’s pure speculation of course, but Trump did a lot of things that made no sense unless he was trying to undermine the US government.

The other big question that we’re unlikely to get answered is whether Trump sold the information in the top-secret documents and to whom. Even if they can’t tell us, I hope our security services indeed do know exactly which documents are still missing and what information was in all of them. If their intelligence shows that another country has information they shouldn’t they’ll know Trump sold it or gave it to them, though I doubt he would ever be prosecuted. Too may secrets that could compromise national intelligence.
