Chump told Hannity his motive for taking the US documents



"They paid Nixon $18 million" - Chump wanted to ransom the documents, he expected to be paid.

"I have the right to take stuff." There it is folks, there's his motive and admission of guilt.

so no payout there...I think Trump intended to display the tranche of documents in his "presidential" library, built on his resort property and funded by donations...Trump has the "sharing" capacity of a two year old...MINE!...

and he's pissed off that Nixon's documents were sold for $18M and he wasn't paid for his. Of course, the Presidential Records Act, providing that all materials generated by a president's administration belong to the government and not to the outgoing president, wasn't in effect during Nixon's administration - and Nixon didn't take classified materials. But hey, those are just details...

I bet Jack Smith just loved that interview.
