Something curious is going on between Trump and Special Council Jack Smith. Now, let me be absolutely clear — I am prone to baseless, somewhat hysterical speculation. So take all of this with a grain of salt. In other words, I’m often, if not always, wrong.
But given what the legal battle going on at the moment in the courts is about — evidence surrounding Trump lying to his lawyers about giving all the documents over to the Feds, it does make one wonder if Something Big may be involved.
And that Something Big would be maybe Trump was recorded giving his lawyers motivation for why he took the documents in the first place. If there was some sort of absolute proof — straight from Trump’s mouth — that he took the documents in part because he saw some sort of monetary upside….oh boy.
That would meet the Constitution’s metric for treason.
That is pretty bonkers to speculate being possible, even for me. And that’s saying something. So, it’s probably something a lot more mundane than that. Something interesting, but not nearly as historic.
The only reason why I think such a thing might be within the realm of possibility is Trump is SO FUCKING STUPID that I could see him, in confidence to his lawyers, saying something like, “Yeah, I thought some of those documents might be worth something.” Or, “I took the documents because I thought Putin or Kim Jung Un might find them cool.”
He really is that stupid.
