He took nuclear and other secrets acquired from his old job, and he shoved them into banker’s boxes that he stored in his somehow-simultaneously-gaudy-yet-squalid-bathroom and other places, and he travelled around with them, and he showed them around to various people to impress them with what a big shot he was, and he obstructed all attempts by federal agencies to retrieve them, and there is damning evidence that he did all this in full knowledge that he was breaking some rather serious laws.

I'm not an expert on prisoner trades so I'll limit my comment to this: If you're upset that Biden exchanged an arms dealer for Brittany Griner—but approved Trump releasing 5,000 Taliban terrorists who then took over Afghanistan—stop pretending its national security you care about.

Moreover, for the people pearl clutching that the U.S. “traded an arms dealer” for the release of an innocent American woman—wait til you hear about the worlds largest arms dealer. (Hint: It’s the USA).
