Now this! WaPo: "Boxes of documents even came with Trump on foreign travel"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/27/trump-archives-records-war/
Boxes of documents even came with Trump on foreign travel, following him to hotel rooms around the world — including countries considered foreign adversaries of the United States.

“There was no rhyme or reason — it was classified documents on top of newspapers on top of papers people printed out of things they wanted him to read. The boxes were never organized,” Grisham said. “He’d want to get work done on long trips so he’d just rummage through the boxes. That was our filing system.”


Dear gawd! Was he shopping intel around the world? Or referring back to docs before meetings to use as tidbits or bait??

But in this case, it cost the lives of human intel agents and informants

from just an unorganized, busy, busy guy so he should get a pass. They're going to go for the "this was always his management style" and "he never had a logical filing system", or "he was just unorganized and used to juggling all sorts of things at one time", blah, blah. Just like when he'd say all the mean and cruel things and lies and his cultists would say, "that's just Trump being Trump. He doesn't mean anything by it."

Ha!!!

He is the laziest POS on Earth. This is the same guy who would show up in the O AL at 11 AM and left at 3 PM. He took zillions of golf trips, etc. He never has worked a day in his life. Lying, cheating and stealing isn't "work".

But this was yet another norm that Trump broke. In June, around the time the Justice Department stepped up its hunt for documents at Mar-a-Lago, Trump assigned two new Archives representatives who focused on publicizing documents they claimed would vindicate Trump and damage the FBI: Kash Patel and John Solomon.


Keith Olbermann talked about these guys in his podcast yesterday.
