Curiouser & Curiouser? "The FBI Seized No Boxes with Press Clippings that Postdate Nov 2020"

The logic is inescapable, and the location of the files from the empty folders is now terrifying - where are they & who did Trump give (or sell) them to?

something revealed in the more detailed inventory released yesterday more alarming.

None of the boxes seized by the FBI include press clippings that postdate November 2020.

There seems to have been no Chief of Staff, not even retired General John Kelly, who could cure him of the habit.

But none of those boxes — not even the collection including 357 government documents seized from his office (see item 4) — includes a single clipping that post-dates November 2020.

There are no clippings from the final two months of his Presidency — the months he plotted a coup.

& a relevant reminder:
Paul Sperry said that the reason Trump was withholding records from the Archives was to keep documents of interest to the January 6 Committee from being available to the Archives that it might turn over to the Committee. (h/t Ron Filipkowski)

when he moved out. He's been hauling them out since he was inaugurated. How many trips did he make to Florida in four years? And while he was president no one would have questioned what he was taking there with him.

There's no doubt he still collected them after the election; he couldn't help himself.

The question is, where are those clippings, and where are the documents that were stored with them?
