Who was Trump's sidekick?

Somebody had to tell him what he was looking at when he rifled through those top secret files? He is to stupid to know what he was looking at and sharing! Right? That sidekick should be charged with treason along side of Trump too?

Trump only shares the spotlight with those he most admires.
Putin, Kim…

And the employees aren't gonna go to jail for his sorry ass. The hotline at Smith's office must be ringing off the hook.

Knowing himself, he must defend it.
Is it his ability to manage those psychophants his genius, or is there a closet that holds a safety blanket well hidden?

The guy is in all our lives. We are judging ourselves and others by the responses to him.

A challenge.

Think Miller got to him. Dark side.
He has to outputin Putin.
Bet he is hoping Putin goes down while he retakes his throne.
Hopefully each's problems catch up with them.

Why would anyone still be looking for "intent", when the documents were stolen and hidden from the DOJ? What more "intent" is needed than the fact that they were stolen and hidden, in violation of the Espionage Act? How much more "intent" do you need? When he stole the documents and hid them from the Feds, what else do you need to know about what was in his head?
