The National Archives and Records Administration discovered what it believed was classified information in documents Donald J. Trump had taken with him from the White House as he left office, according to a person briefed on the matter.

The discovery, which occurred after Mr. Trump returned 15 boxes of documents to the government last month, prompted the National Archives to reach out to the Justice Department for guidance, the person said. The department told the National Archives to have its inspector general examine the matter, the person said.

It is unclear what the inspector general has done since then, in particular, whether the inspector general has referred the matter to the Justice Department.

An inspector general is required to alert the Justice Department to the discovery of any classified materials that were found outside authorized government channels.

1. Of course he took it

He's a sociopathic thief.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Ha we typed the same thing at the same time.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

10. Great minds..

[Irish_Dem]

2. Of course he did. Do we expect otherwise.

Might be easier to ask which laws didn't he break.

In what ways did he not harm national security.

[fwvinson]

21. Sorry, can't come up with any answers for his stupidity

[captain queeg]

3. You can bet Lard-o didn't carry any boxes himself, so will plead ignorance and blame someone else.

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. Maybe Gym Jordan can demand a Benghazi style investigation.

Surely, Republicans must be outraged at this clearly criminal act. Right?

[Irish_Dem]

6. Our enemies were able to get whatever docs they wanted from Trump?

Either paid him straight up for the info.

Or tricked him.

Or stole it easily because of sloppy record keeping procedures.

[FoxNewsSucks]

8. Hell, Putin got personal briefings from MF45.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Yep. He is probably not the only one either.

[Arazi]

7. Bet there was 30 boxes originally. Some of its already been sold off

[Sanity Claws]

27. Those were my thoughts too

He took the documents to sell them. It's been over a year since he left office so he must have sold some by now.

[LonePirate]

9. DOJ won't do anything about it so this does not matter.

[tenderfoot]

12. The NY Times still making all about Hillary

“prosecuting him would be extremely difficult and it would pit the Justice Department against Mr. Trump at a time when Attorney General Merrick B. Garland is trying to depoliticize the department.”

This is how we got Trump.

[Escurumbele]

19. "Garland is trying to depoliticize the department"...who told Garland that is his job? to

depoliticize the department???? What the hell?

I have to believe that Biden knows that Garland is doing the job he was hired to do, otherwise he would have fired him, and if that is not so then Biden needs to find someone else to do the job of the country ASAP, we don't need another Attorney General acting as trump's private lawyer.

13. The real valuable classified intel for sure wasn't in those boxes.

TFG and Kushner monetized that long ago.

Ignore death of a journalist, suddenly get Billiion $ + "rental" on the Kushner devil building 666 Park Ave. JUST before it goes belly up.


Never has a saying been so true as "Follow the Money" with regard to these disgusting grifters= Traitors!

[MFM008]

14. He really thinks

He can do whatever the F he wants.

[Doodley]

15. Why did he take it? What was his intention? Why hasn't he been arrested?

[WA-03 Democrat]

16. Just one federal felony is all we need

I feel like we have so many things to choose from. Just pick one and it will stick

[Takket]

17. But her emails..

[sakabatou]

18. And from the RW, nothing but crickets.

[Escurumbele]

20. I really do not care about what republicans may or not may say, I want to hear charges from Garland

I want to know trump and his gang have been indicted and we have dates for trials, what republicans say is irrelevant as we all know what they will or not say.

[nvme]

22. He sent one copy to Russia

and another to Moscow Mitch.

[Deep State Witch]

23. DOJ Won't Be Able to Ignore This

Removing classified information from a SCIF is a HUGE no-no. I'm sure that he was saving those documents to give to Putin whenever he needed more money or a favor.

For example - there was a guy who was a contractor at NSA who was busted for removing classified documents and storing them in his home and storage garage. He was a apparently a hoarder.

24. Check Vlad's yacht.

[Happy Hoosier]

25. Errrr.... Lock him up?

I wonder what Michael Flynn will safe about this?

Who am I kidding.... it's okay is HE does it.

[DENVERPOPS]

26. Oh this is a surprise

I probably doesn't hold a candle to what he and Jared received for four years in the way of intelligence and Top Secret info.
And who knows what they sold to any or all other governments. Realizing that they wouldn't be receiving info after Trump was out of there, they had to make off with Tons more info they could sell in the future......I remember reading that normally, the former president's are kept updated on intelligence or top secret stuff for some time period after they leave office. The article was about Biden, NSA, Military, Intelligence, all cut off Trump from day one after he left office......

On one occasion, Jared took a briefcase down to the Saudi's and immediately got back on the plane with a 150 million dollar "loan" to bail out one of his worst real estate investments that a balloon payment was due on in the next week.......

The article mentioned that after Jared's visit, several ranking members of the Royal Saudi family and several Saudi government officials "disappeared"................LOLOLOLOL

Of course, Putin probably received anything and everything as a special gift, and at no cost, from his best Buddy, Trump......
