Something sounds very shady with the newly-discovered "classified" documents?

[kentuck]

What's going on?

Is the thief and fraudster trying to extort the new Special Counsel, Jack Smith?

People will ask, "If they only found two more "classified" documents, then there must be more?"

Yes, there are more. Or do they want you to think there are more??

Or is it only a couple of bread crumbs to get the DOJ off track?

Or is there a more innocent view of the matter?

It's a puzzle to me.

1. Fox In The Hen House....

I wouldn't trust anything coming from Tr**p or his lawyers.

To me this is just another stall tactic on Tr**p's part.

2. +1

3. I'm not sure how the mechanisms work, but

there would be no reason, IMO, for the DOJ to slow down their work for this. There are such things as superseding indictments.

[relayerbob]

6. Yeah, this won't slow anything down

[Stinky The Clown]

4. It stinks of strategic fuckery

5. I suspect ....

In the looting frenzy that filled up that particular storage place with goodies from the WH, a couple of loose docs ended up there. He clearly had no system or organization, and probably just said, take all this crap in some room where he left the files laying around. As I understand it, there was all sorts of weird shit found there, from clothing to a ceremonial sword, and other things. As I said .... looting the WH. I'm much more interested in what's in his other homes, and/or Ivana's casket (that said, Ivana's ashes are likely not there, or just occupying a small corner)

12. "take all the crap"

why were so many classified files in the residence?...thousands of pages worth of documents...why were they not in a secure location?..and, you're right, Trump, the kleptomaniac in chief, pilfered paintings, letters, art, artifacts, a Lincoln bust....I still can see the pics of file boxes sitting on pallets outside in the open waiting to be loaded on to a truck, and I remember thinking this doesn't look right...
I've moved a few times and when my husband and I were young and had very little money, we tossed things in old grocery store boxes and loaded them into the trunk our car.

But this is the White House, not student housing...where were the professional movers?

[relayerbob]

19. Well

I was only trying to figure out why only two documents were there, as opposed to more. Clearly, he intended to keep the more valuable stuff, that he could sell to foreign governments, close at hand. Clearly, they were sloppy as hell, as well as being treasonous, so I think these documents, might have been there by mistake. That said, there are many other places where he could have documents and other material looted from the White House stashed.

20. I don't know about sell...

the guy is a selfish sonofabitch..I suspect he intended to display the documents (and everything else he stole) in his "presidential" library, to be built on his MAL property...he'd want his "stuff" close by.. he's got the mentality of two year old..it's mind and it must never appear to be yours...

7. Time to execute more search warrants

On every property. How much more cause does one need?

8. Teflon Don Continues To Laugh At The Lack Of Consequences

Maybe if DOJ sends another letter asking nicely for the documents to be returned, TFG will comply.

Or not.

[claudette]

9. I read that

the DOJ asked the lawyers if there were any more documents. That's why they searched. Dump's lawyers asked the FBI to watch - and they said "No." The comment by a pundit on TV said the FBI said "No" because they would rather do their OWN search THEIR way!

[sarcasmo]

10. Trump lawyers, something is always shady.

11. Hmm 🤔 curious that were found by odious traitor#45 lawyers @ some Florida storage unit. Wtf!.

Donald Trump’s lawyers found at least two more documents bearing classification markings inside boxes at a storage unit in Florida when they searched through items that were brought from the White House at the end of his administration, one source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.

13. :) tRump lawyers are in a cesspit between a rock and a hard place.

If they're not newly faced with the choice of trying to obstruct a federal judge, they're already among those being investigated for crimes committed as tRump attorneys, including not fully cooperating with the various orders to turn over stolen documents.

The authorities must have made up lists of missing documents they believe were either possibly or probably taken by tRump and checking those recovered against them. Of course they'll be interested in which might have been taken by tRump but are no longer in his possession, requiring further investigation of that.

14. Smart lawyers

"Hey we found some..."

"TURN IT OVER NOW"

"But the fuhrer wanted to see it first."

"TURN IT OVER NOW!"

15. Part of it seems to be that, while tRump is a notorious micro-manager

He really isn't detail-oriented. He plays with the fiddly bits, but it's play, not actual work. They are all "papers that might be important"; shiny toys for the magpie. But actually keeping things separate, things together that belong together? Too much work, too much thought involved.

In other words, he's too freakin' lazy. Like cleaning out the kitchen junk drawer and deciding two minutes in that you'll just get a bigger drawer and mix that with stuff in the dining room. He was forced by legal pressure to try some due diligence, and that's why they found a bit more stuff, but as always, it was too late and too desultory to fix any real problem (FBI needs to search other places themselves, but probably won't unless they get a solid lead on specific things)

16. Sounds like his lawyers don't want to dig a deeper hole.

Either for Trump or for themselves personally. I mean, you're a lawyer or some random guy working for a document whatever service, and you see or receive a classified government document. Prolly best to turn it in to Uncle Sam's lost and found.

I didn't have "hoarder" on my "Downfall of Trump" bingo card. F*ng hilarious.

[wiggs]

17. And how many other kinds of WH docs that are not his but stolen nonetheless? nt

[TheBlackAdder]

18. Sounds like Trump was squirreling away those documents like acorns for Winter storage.
