Plus I think this is also bullshit. TFG is using this for an excuse to his idiot base as to why he STOLE documents.
/I needed them to clear my name, because the deep state is trying to ruin me/.

If he runs, this will be the slant: I stole the docs to protect myself from the persecution of the deep state.

Of course... he STOLE them in order to monetize them. PERIOD.
