When the government looks at what documents and information Trump stole and was keeping at Mar-a-Lago the documents and what he stole will tell them a lot about why he stole them.

Stealing embarrassing info about himself or friends of his, things he may have wanted buried, this has a simple and obvious motive. This does not apply to the classified, top secret, and SCI documents he stole though...and there were loads of them. These documents contain information that in most cases was not even supposed to ever leave the buildings they were stored in. 

So, you do have to wonder how Trump, who would not have been the person that removed these documents from their locations, got his hands on them and got them to Mar-a-Lago. People were working with him to steal these documents. This is plain as day. 

People that work in intelligence will know this. They will know exactly where the documents were kept and who had access to remove them. It won't be a long list with some of these documents. Trump himself would likely not know where to find them, what they said, nor what made them valuable. He needed help selecting them and getting them into his hands. Once in his hands he would likely never even have glanced at them. He'd ask someone else to read them and explain to him what they mean and their value. 

I believe that an investigation into this, a real investigation, is going to be looking at the chain of custody of these documents and who had to have handled them to get them to Trump, who might have then checked the documents and explained them to Trump, and then helped in the process of removing them from the White House and getting them to Mar-a-Lago and then what potentially took place with them while they were at Mar-a-Lago and who may have had access to them while they were there.

Here is the massive difference between what Hillary did with her private server and what Trump did:

Hillary had a private email server in her house and a personal email account. On this account and server she received and sent emails, most of which had nothing at all to do with her government work nor anything classified. There may have been exchanges where she or someone sending her email mentioned something that the government would not have wanted mentioned on a person's personal email and on a private home server BUT there would never be top secret and SCI documents being emailed to or from anybody on a private email or server. So, what Hillary did was stupid but nothing close to what Trump has done here. 

Trump had top secret and SCI documents that were not supposed to ever be removed from the locations they were kept stored brought to his resort. These are not even documents that could be emailed. You had to go through a process to steal the physical documents, to get them out of the buildings where they were stored to the White House and then to Mar-a-Lago. This would have been a secretive process where everybody in the chain KNEW they had to be careful stealing these documents and not to get caught because stealing secrets from the government is going to get you 20 years in jail. Maybe more. 

Hillary Clinton could have got nowhere near this kind of information on her private email account. Nothing remotely close to what Trump and his team stole. YOU CANNOT EMAIL THESE DOCUMENTS. The only way to get them out of the buildings where they are kept is to have a plan to steal them.

So, for this to have happened it had to be thought out and planned. How do we acquire the documents? Get them out of the locations where they are kept? What will be the chain of custody to get them to the White House and then to Mar-a-Lago? Once at Mar-a-Lago what will we do with them? Where will we store them? Who do we want to show them to? Sell them to? Use them against?

So, you have to take into account that this was a planned event. Someone had to put a lot of thought into how to execute it and what documents they wanted to take because only certain people would have access to the documents and would have a chance to steal them. 

Trump was swapping out people at the Pentagon and in intelligence positions as soon as he lost the election. This certainly looks like the motive to be putting loyalists in these spots because you were planning a theft of top secret information and you needed people in the positions to assist you in stealing this information. 

I honestly do not believe Trump would know how to execute this himself. I don't even think he would know which people he needed to swap out to pull off the heist. The guy just was not capable. So, someone was coaching him through how to do this. Who he needed to put in place, in what positions, and what documents to steal. 

Point being, this looks to me like it is bigger than Trump. This would explain a lot of the Republican freakout over what happened. Because if you look at this honestly, it appears Trump probably loaded as many positions as he could with people that were disloyal foreign agents operating to intentionally undermine the United States. It is right there in front of our noses. 

Trump is simply not bright enough to have done this on his own. Something really stinks here and the media is just obsessed with Trump and his home getting raided. They are about 5 steps behind what appears to have actually taken place.
