What you want to bet he actually did take nuclear secrets but it wasn't nuclear weapons it was merely how to safely run and operate liquid fluoride-salt thorium reactors, like the government had the answer to the corrosion issues and was just sitting on the tech so they could use climate change as an excuse to control the public.
LFTR tech has been around since the 50s supposedly china just solved the corrosion issues with molten salts and meltdown vessels, to be clear 1 pound of thorium is like 2000 tons of coal in its energy density, it burns clean aside from a tiny bit of radiation but a catastrophic meltdown wouldn't be a 10,000 year exclusion zone it would mean an acre of land should be walled off for about 200 years or it could be caught early before the current vessels failed to to corrosion and then dumped into a massive steel lined lead ball and buried under a mountain like uranium waste. And its not a 10k year containment hole its just 200 years, no coolant needed if it's underground isolated from the water table.
LFTR tech was designed for use in a bigger variant of the SR71 blackbird stealth recon plane, you could power a city with 4 reactors each small enough to fit in a large pick-up truck.
We could have used this technology to create an international commission for peaceful nuclear proliferation as thorium can't be weaponized like plutonium or uranium, we could have ended all pretense for iran or north korea's nuclear program by inviting their scientists to join the commission.
If it was LFTR secrets then Trump telling the FBI to release it makes perfect sense.
