I certainly hope this puts paid to all those who are screaming about Garland doing “nothing”. As always the man has been a very quiet, meticulous, and thorough in his investigations towards any case he has brought as a Prosecutor. I would have expected nothing less from him as the Attorney General!

It seems he has far more things in the works than anyone is aware of.

Trump lawyer(s) were present, so anything planted would have to have been planted with their complicity.

It's always amazing to me the implicit trust we place in elected officials and how that trust can be abused and how defenseless one can feel watching as it happens. I think this is the main feeling I got over the last decade.

Far, far worse, Jay. Roy Cohn successfully advocated for the death penalty for Ethel & Julius Rosenberg for posing far less a nationally security threat than Donald Trump--Cohn’s former client--poses.

It is way beyond my understanding why anyone who has knowledge of Trump's actions could possibly still be his followers. He is a deranged human being and cannot, must not be allowed anywhere near our White House ever again.

Superb chronology Jay; the Florida Magistrate Judge will likely handle top secret, the T S C I documents, appropriately. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists may be a good source in the days ahead. www.thebulletin.org. Check in with David Laufman for risk of what the law defines as grave damage in Counterintelligence matters.

The people who would be most interested in information about US nuclear weapons are Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.

No words for these acts of treason of the highest order! I see orange in his future! Hope this is a wake up call for his GOP followers!

Boxes of paper files? Any chance they have copy machines at Mar-a-Lago?

I assume despite all this he’s still getting his daily security briefings though? That’s a worrying thought.

If he indeed had these nuclear documents and has been given several opportunities to give them back without doing so, is this enough to keep him out of office forever? Even if they can't prove he's done anything with them (which I would not believe, he's had them for too long) is just his keeping of said documents enough to ban him?

Trump espionage is possible with his removal of BOXES OF CLANDESTINE MATERIALS. This might be the final Trump Stake to lethally affect him.

Thank you. Sooo many questions. If you catch this on fb read Howard Smith and Lori Mann in the comments section. Very informative.

How do we know whether Trump has already sold access to nuclear secrets to Saudi Arabia or to someone else? Will we ever know?

What about sensitive information in computer files? It's not 1953, you know.
