Stealing documents and holding them for ransom is not really a feasible grift. If you are going to monetize them, you need to sell them to another country. A hostile contry.

And Trump** is all about monetization.

Did alligators do? They would choke and die on that grissily, fat ole ass and that shit on his head. That damn body is not as tasty as Ronnie Jackson insists it is. Feed him to his cult as pulled pork BBQ with orange sauce.

It is also covered under 18 U.S. Code § 793 - Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information, which is what happens to trump AND any of those who helped him, when one conceals national security highly classified info relevant to the United States' national security.

Rule of Law puts the hammer down.
