Every document that Trump took has to be considered distributed to every foreign intel service...

...of every nation in the world. The worst case scenario is the only one that can guide the actions of the US intelligence community at this point. He has had custody of these documents for almost two years. It must be assumed that multiple copies were made and that they will never be recovered. Biden's speech last night is one more tightening of the screws. The pressure on Trump from every sane corner must be relentless and unyielding until he cracks. He must be seen by all for what he really is.

1. and that these docs fit into a plan for his return to power

Sometimes I try to look at the US-on-life-support from Putin's point of view: will I ever get a better chance, than right now, to crush the United States? We have yet to face an election day full of terrorist attacks, mass shootings at polling places, etc. If Trump sold or traded secrets, he did it to get help returning to power; and violence, chaos, and confusion could easily set up Jan 6, 2025 for a President appointed by the House, courtesy of deliberate, widespread disruption of the 2024 election.

...when the real news came that our most sensitive secrets were compromised.

4. He's done incalculable damage. We have idea of the damage he's done.

And we have maga, big lie, election deniers running for office, many for Sec'y of state to control elections.

The republican party are the ones referred to in the phrase...I promise to defend against enemies both foreign and domestic.

5. If that had happened, it would suggest our intel services are the worst in the world

They're not perfect, but they're not so clueless that they wouldn't have picked up on the fact that Trump had distributed classified documents "to every foreign intel service of every nation in the world."
