Statement from Trump Office: As we can all relate to, everyone ends up having to bring home their work from time to time
He had a standing order that documents removed from the Oval Office taken to the residence were deemed to be declassified..

besides Playboy.
The ever-shifting cover story of plausible deniability might as well be an admission of guilt.

(23,411 posts)Some of the stuff was taken when traitor moved out of the White House, but who knows when he started this despicable theft? Did archivists catalog documentation on a regular basis, like weekly or monthly? In other words, when did the papers go missing and when did someone notice?
And specifically, who kept track of the TS and CSI? If someone was making copies and belatedly returning originals to the files, after being asked for them, that could have been going on from day 1, and knowing how low traitor is, I wouldn't doubt it for a second.

You can get away with insulting the intelligence of the base, not so for the rest of us.

(13,582 posts)Not now, not ever in his life. Hes a bullshit artist that simply tries to pull something out of his ass on the spur of the moment. Im not saying hes good at it. In fact the opposite is true - evidenced by his many public appearances.
Anything he has stashed away is there because he thought he could use it as ammunition or to generate cash.

Classified documents had a very, very tight chain of control.
trump is full of sh*t.

(8,138 posts)Which leads one to believe that the "chain of control" system was, umm, ineffective. And it is implausible that Donald Trump personally- and only himself- packed and loaded all those boxes onto some truck (or whatever). Which means someone else was involved.
Not only that, it is implausible to think that this is just a random set of Top Secret documents that were somehow just overlooked. So somebody selected these particular documents. But for what purpose? I've seen speculation about Jared and the Saudi's; seems plausible. But even Jared wouldn't have packed and loaded and then unloaded all this stuff personally. So yet another someone else is likely involved.
Also, who else has likely seen this stuff? Rudy? My Pillow guy? Roger Stone? Michael Flynn? Any of those guys are likely to sell anything for a buck.
Can the FBI tell if something has been photocopied? Should they impound Mar A Lago copiers? Don't some of them have image memories?
Would Trump throw Jared under the bus and claim it was all him? What would Ivanka do?
