Intel official: MaLago "nightmarish place to secure."

Wide open with people coming and going, the huge building was/is an extremely insecure, potential "target".

Would add that it is also vulnerable to Florida's sometimes violent weather. The resort sits on a barrier island. The Atlantic Ocean is on its east and the Intracoastal Waterway hems in the west side. The island is only 18 miles long and is three-quarters of a mile at its widest and as narrow as 500 feet in other areas. Highest elevation above sea level is 30 feet at the Palm Beach Country Club golf course.

basement in a place where people are coming and going at all hours of the day? Say it with me again, "but her emails, Hunter Biden's laptop".

Oh, I forgot, "What about Obama?"

They were not secured, and foreign agents must have known they were there.

It is possible that Trump even bragged about having possession of the material, so everyone would know there were there.

No doubt that he bragged, he probably called Pooty, Un and Xi and offered the secrets up to them for the right price, because with Benedict Donald, in the end, it's all about the Benjamins.
