Like anyone who’s been paying the least bit of attention, I was wondering “wait, what’s new here?”

In a letter sent Tuesday to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Raskin said the documents point to a broader risk to national security, writing: “These new disclosures suggest that Donald Trump stole documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire U.S. government had access to them, that the documents President Trump stole pertained to his business interests.”

This is more interesting than the headline, in my opinion. The claim that they “pertained to his business interests” is not exactly the same thing as selling them to the highest bidder. It suggests either that Trump’s businesses are the subject of intense scrutiny by the fed or, more likely and more worrying, Trump is much deeper into brokering sensitive information than we expected (as in, it’s one of his main sources of income).

He had long historical ties to the Russian mob, mostly through real estate transactions in both New York and Florida, all before he was President. NYT did stories on this and found lots of supporting info. Imagine what the FBI could dig up if motivated.
