Sources said that after Trump heard that the FBI wanted to interview Michael last year, Trump allegedly told her, "You don't know anything about the boxes."

(38,519 posts)As described to ABC News, the aide, Molly Michael, told investigators that -- more than once -- she received requests or taskings from Trump that were written on the back of notecards, and she later recognized those notecards as sensitive White House materials -- with visible classification markings -- used to brief Trump while he was still in office about phone calls with foreign leaders or other international-related matters.
The notecards with classification markings were at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate when FBI agents searched the property on Aug. 8, 2022 -- but the materials were not taken by the FBI, according to sources familiar with what Michael told investigators.

When Michael, who was not present for the search, returned to Mar-a-Lago the next day to clean up her office space, she found the documents underneath a drawer organizer and helped transfer them to the FBI that same day, sources told ABC News...
Treating classified documents as if they were scrap paper.

(72,047 posts)... documents he stole and no doubt was sharing that information with Vlad about what we had
looking down on Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus and most likely was doing that as POTUS too why
he is still walking free is beyond me. America has had 4 people who sold out us out to the Russians
(Soviet Union) @ the level Trump was most likely @. The Rosenbergs (executed), FBI Agent Robert
Hansen (just died in the US Super-max doing 16 life terms), and Aldrich Ames who is doing life w/out
parole in a federal prison in Terre Haute, IN. Despite all his bull shit that he (Trump) had declassified
the information he stole or something about the Presidential Records Act he has known all along that
he was breaking the law in having those documents i.e. why did tell Ms. Michael to lie about "the boxes?"
I hope Ms. Michael has told the FBI everything and that Trump dies in prison.

soldierant
(7,703 posts)which takes away both Secret Service protection and pension from a President (former President) who is convicted in a court of law of felony crimes committed while in office.
It's the mandatory Secret Service protection that is in the way of his being locked up in an actual prison. They can't figure out how to provide that protectio and also lock him up at the same time.
Certainly if there is anyone who does not deserve a pension, it's Trump**. But the Secret SErvice part is even more important. Not only does he not deserve protection, but he is likely to corrupt any agents assigned to him. And that could corrupt the entire Secret Service over time (if it isn't already.)
And yes, I know, this Congress is not going to do that. Which is simply another reason that we must vote, nd get out the vote, and do everything we can to get enough GQP out of Congress to pass such legislation.
