He has no chance in Maryland. Even the incumbent GOP Governor has spoken out forcefully against him.

A little more on the Espionage Act:

"Espionage Act, Title 1, Section 1:
(e) whoever, being intrusted
with or having lawful possession or control of any document, ... or information, relating to the
national defense, through gross negligence permits the same to be
removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in
violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed,
shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000, or by imprisonment for not more than two years, or both."

Multiple counts possible for multiple instances. "Removed from proper place of custody" is enough. Intent to transmit, or actual transmission, to foreign entities, if shown, of course makes it worse.

PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)—F.B.I. agents swarming over Donald J. Trump’s Florida estate reported that they have so far been unable to locate the health-care plan that he had promised to deliver while President.

“Trump said that the plan was terrific and beautiful and far better than Obamacare,” Harland Dorrinson, the lead F.B.I. agent searching the estate, said. “If we could get our hands on it, that would be a game changer for our country.”

Agents cracked open the former President’s safe but were frustrated in their attempts to find any documents with the words “health” or “care” in them.

“It’s got to be around here somewhere,” one F.B.I. agent said.

As of late Monday night, a Bureau spokesman indicated that the agents had also been unable to find a prescription-drug plan, an infrastructure plan, or the framework for a peace treaty with North Korea.

After calling for Hillary Clinton to be jailed, in 2018 Trump signed a law that stiffened the penalty for the unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents from one year to five years, turning it into a felony offense.

Having this come back around to bite tRumpy in the ass would be priceless.

Isn't it said that a good prosecutor doesn't ask a question unless they already know the answer?
