This is a very astute comment! "Sell on eBay <TM>" is likely just a stupid narrative to stimulate the reactions of both camps. The real issue is whether all of the written records of this openly criminal conspiracy can be unilaterally taken/destroyed under the guise of "private property" when it's inevitably time for the regime to flee.

"with Judge Patricia Millett asking: “Can the president then offer on eBay to sell them, all of our national security secrets, to the highest bidder?”

The government’s response was, in short, “yes.”"
