While I agree with your general sentiment, in this specific case the person appeared motivated to literally just sell the laptop to some Russian people, with the expectation that they had the ability to resell the laptop to the Russian government.

The people who broke into the Capitol and stole things are not the smartest or most well-connected people.

More details are available in some of the court docs that are floating around the internet. The entire situation is stunningly disconnected from reality.

> disconnected from reality.

The frightening bit is that in their "reality", the deep state with the help of Communist Party of China (or are they lizard people?) stole the election, the judges are part of the theft, MSM is just lying to the brainwashed masses, etc, etc. And that they're the patriots trying to save the country.

The funny bit is how they're crying that it's China (oops, I mean, Chinese government) who's controlling Biden. Why couldn't it be Putin? Is it because the Russians (oops, I mean, Putin) are their friends now? Or that they subconsciously know that Trump was Putin's poorly-trained lapdog?

Imagine you stole Putin's personal laptop, the secret special one with no password that he hides under his pillow. If you email [e-mail] and offer to sell it to them, it auto-replies with a warrant. They'll definitely take it, but they will not pay for it.

Better to sell it to some random American who thinks they won the lottery.

Edited to add: I guess a Russian warrant wouldn't mean much in the article's case. She basically paid a premium to not deal with a government.

Edited to add: best to not steal it in the first place, obviously. Obviously don't steal state secrets, don't loot your capitol, and just be cool.

I'm trying to get into her headspace so I can understand her. I think what she did was bad.
