    I think the new political gambit will be to avoid being convicted of Espionage Act charges, which I’ve read are actually difficult to make stick on top government officials, and swallow a conviction on a lesser charge like “unauthorized removal and retention of classified material,” which is a misdemeanor offense. (That’s what Petraeus was charged with for essentially doing something similar to what Trump’s doing)

     

    Then Trump campaigns on “the Dems went all in on attacking me and all they got me on was a misdemeanor—vote for me to rub it in their face!”, which unfortunately could probably actually work in getting him nominated.  Being elected, OTOH, just got WAY harder for him.

    One problem is that trump is a private citizen right now and he had plenty of opportunities to return the docs

    That is what subsidies do. The supply didn’t change, just the number of dollars chasing it

    The point is to drive supply change (to non China sources of materials for battery based cars and also from ICE engines) in the long term. If there is free money for doing xyz then the market will move to that end, especially in a somewhat competitive market
