How much vetting would have been done on Mar-a-Lago (or other Trump property) employees?

I'm guessing none, or as good as none. Maybe the Secret Service check for criminal convictions? But I bet any spy agency worth its name will have got someone inside, as well as sponsoring a member or two to see what they could pick up. But I also bet they didn't expect that last part to literally include picking stuff up from stages and toilet floors.

With everyone now carrying, without suspicion, a camera with an effectively limitless capacity for the day, it just takes a second or two per page to get copies of everything. Just work your way through, each time you're sent to clean that bathroom, or fetch a few chairs from that ballroom ...

True, but I'm sure the bigger risk came from Trump's personal or political staff. tanyev Jun 2023 #5

And it's a hole in security, even without classified documents involved, if hiring does not involve the same level of security as the Federal government uses. My guess also would be none too - the same level of security as your local financial institutions might use. A background check, a credit check, references - and it would be left to the discretion of the former president's permanent organization.

Likely, more of them were vetted by MBS as the quid pro quo for the 2 billion to Jared.

I doubt little that TDFG does isn't at least approved by one of Putin's people. Has been that way since no one else would loan money to him.

Curious if he will try to sing on the corruption in the supreme court and Deutsch bank to try to get a lighter sentence.

They would be more fawningly loyal and Trump probably preferred people with something compromising in their backgrounds to help ensure their loyalty.

Also, a huge risk from guests. We know of two that were very suspicious (Chinese lady wandering around taking pictures, Ukrainian lady who pretended to be a Rothschild), gawd only knows how many more there were/are.
