What if the "Big Lie" was the smokescreen to cover the document theft? [View all]

Consider this idea: Lots of people have their eyes on the capitol (Jan 6), and replacement electors, and state by state challenges, and sending money to challenge the election results.

But no one was watching the other hand: The real prize for Trump was the documents that would fetch more money than Trump had ever had in his lifetime.

Now that its been discovered, Trump falls back on his tried and true protector: the U.S. justice system. With the appointment of a special master, any process to indict Trump will slow down.

Trump is probably two steps ahead still. I can't imagine that he didn't have documents copied and stored elsewhere.

I'm guessing he will continue to walk free among us and never see jail in his lifetime.
