TFG wanted to trade the stolen documents for some mythical documents on the Russia investigation that would somehow prove that Putin and Russia did not help elect TFG. As Jill Wine Banks noted if these documents existed, TFG had four years as POTUS to find and release these documents. If these documents existed, Durham as a US Attorney could have gotten these documents. TFG wanted to offer to trade the stolen documents for documents that did not exist and when the National Archives fail to deliver non-existent documents, TFG would then claim that he is entitled to keep the stolen documents

Former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks can't figure out why Donald Trump was demanding to exchange the Mar-a-Lago documents for the information on the Russia probe....

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday evening, she explained that it's simply who Donald Trump is.

"He is definitely delusional in thinking this. First of all, as you noted, if he had such documents, if there were such documents, if they possibly existed, he had four years when he had every right to ask for them and to get them," she said. "My suspicion is they do not exist. So, let's take that first. Secondly, you cannot steal something to barter. It does go back to what happened in Ukraine where he was trying to say, okay, I'll give you what you're legally entitled to, the funding, if you do this terrible thing for me and make up something about Joe Biden. That is not how America is supposed to be doing business. That is illegal on every aspect."

"It should be that everybody in America realizes that there are no such documents, and even if there were, he can't trade stolen documents that he has no right to possession," said Wine Banks. "This goes back a long way. The Presidential Records Act was a result of Richard Nixon wanting to take tax deductions for having documents and trying to leave the White House when he resigned with the tapes. That's why we have this law, to give it to journalists and historians, to the American people, not to the person who created them as president."

"Everybody in America realizes that there are no such documents."



"Trump had four years as POTUS to find and release these documents" but he couldn't because
such documents do not exist.

4. Plus, why would he need the papers? He wasn't convicted of the first impeachment trial.

Why wouldn't he consider that alone sufficient "to clear his name"?

7. And now prosecutors have obtained a confession.

This video will be used WHEN and not IF TFG is tried

10. At this point, his attorneys should have fired him and

kept the retainer.

5. I really hope this scenario does not give everyone a false sense of security

that he did not sell our most sensitive secrets to our enemies.

This is classic Trump. Float something ridiculous to hide an enormous theft.

6. TFG actions are incredibly damning statements that go directly to knowledge and intent

8. TFG's offer to trade documents was nothing more than rhetoric to stoke the narrative

About the Russia "hoax" to deflect from the issue at hand, and to stoke his base as well.
