I've heard theories from "souvenirs" to "selling state secrets for money".

In an Australian interview last night, John "Moustache" Bolton inclined to the "souvenirs" end of the spectrum, because he doesn't credit Trump with sufficient brains to plan a coherent Treason.

But while it's quite possible Trump himself couldn't put together a plan, there were plenty of people around him who could. Jarrad's $2 billion windfall comes to mind.

We shall see.

That tweet I posted yesterday about the suit (the one where the filing is (probably) screwed up and lists it as pro se) said that parts of the suit sounded like it was written by Drumpf himself, just without the usual randomly capitalized words.

fits his narcosis for sure.

Donnie has been able to fundraise millions off the FBI raid from his rubes, so his protestations seem a little disingenuous.
