Besides documents marked top secret and classified, newly unsealed information shows Trump also had a mountain of other documents and photos.

In addition to troves of information marked "secret" and "top secret," the FBI's search of former President Donald Trump's Florida home turned up over 10,000 U.S. government documents and photographs without classification markings, a newly unsealed Justice Department inventory of the seized items shows.

The Justice Department court filing, filed under seal earlier this week but unsealed by a judge Friday, also shows investigators found more than 40 empty folders with "classified" banners on them at Mar-a-Lago. It's unclear what happened to the information that had been inside the folders.

Wtaf??? More at link. Lock the slob up in solitary, with strict gag order!

1. He really shouldn't have been left unattended.

He can't be trusted at all and somebody should have been watching every move he was making both as president, and on the way out the door.

Its like leaving Ted Bundy on a college campus.

It's too late now.

[Mr. Ected]

3. Unless he's been surveilled the whole time

Which wouldn't surprise me in the least. The intelligence community is tasked with protecting us and the world from the by-products of evil men and women. Politics is not their concern.

4. He should have been in a cell decades ago

But:

Caucasian ✔

Wealthy ✔

When will the double standard end?

[HillbillyDaoist]

39. Never?

His face is still everywhere. He still spews seditious venom. His followers still treat him like their Lord and Savior. I am so exhausted and wish it would end but starting to have serious doubts it ever will.

[Evolve Dammit]

41. You are not alone. Welcome and stay strong!

[Evolve Dammit]

40. yep.

[Bayard]

2. 10,000...

I can hardly wrap my mind around that number.

To me, this says he was squirreling this stuff away though out his time in the White House, not just when he finally realized he was being evicted. And gawd knows how much is hidden elsewhere.

[SheltieLover]

5. No kidding!

[Irish_Dem]

25. Yes it does suggest that the theft was not last minute. But ongoing.

[Brother Buzz]

6. One could make the argument, collectively, those 10,000 documents....

could be classified into a dozens of secret documents, easy.

[SheltieLover]

8. Surreal, isn't it?

[Brother Buzz]

14. The Army had the wisdom to make this dumb draftee a documents clerk

This whole thing make me ill. Really, it makes me angry and ill.

[SheltieLover]

15. Makes me physically ill, too, Bro Buzz!

[Irish_Dem]

26. What would have happened to you if you took home 10,000 army documents?

[Brother Buzz]

29. I'd have personally shot myself for treason

Funny thing, I easily carried over 10,000 documents out of my vault and destroyed them. I had a pair of 55 gallon 'Bingo' burn barrels and a jerry can of diesel fuel; better than a shredder any day


Executive Order 11652—Classification and Declassification of National Security Information and Material was my authority; declassified material was handled and destroyed the same way classified stuff was.

[Irish_Dem]

30. But now you know, as a govt employee, all the docs you handled were your personal property.

The United States would have been much better off with you in charge of Trump's documents.
At least if you had destroyed them asap, he couldn't have sold them to our enemies.

And you know the actual law regarding classified docs.

[Brother Buzz]

31. I certainly owned all the secret documents I generated on a civilian typewriter

When they finally issued me an Army typewriter, I had to burn the typewriter ribbon on the little portable before it left the vault.

[Irish_Dem]

32. One of my family members worked in a military vault.

On a large well known military base.

We never knew what she did exactly. She was locked in the vault for her work day.

She could only go the bathroom with a military escort.

They took her purse at the door each morning and handed it back to her at the end of the day.

She had to document every single activity during the day.
If she opened a desk drawer she had to log it.

We knew what field her master's degree was in.
So we could guess what she was doing.

She finally quit, she couldn't stand it.

Yes I am sure you had to burn the typewriter ribbon and then log that activity.

[Evolve Dammit]

42. Great post. Not exactly "overdue library books" right??

[Irish_Dem]

44. Anybody who has worked with classified docs has to be really angry right now.

They knew what it was like and how they were treated (rightly so.)

And they knew exactly what it meant if they did not adhere to the rules.

To see what Trump has done must be infuriating on many levels.

[Evolve Dammit]

45. He sadistically enjoys mocking America. He truly gets off on it 24/7/365. One sick MF.

I think Melania enjoys it as well, And his kids. And of course the MAGATS.

[Irish_Dem]

46. Of course he is a sadist, enjoys being cruel to others.

May even be sexually aroused by hurting others.

Yes he really is a sick bastard.

Yes Melania is the same ilk, and the kids too.

And the cult members the same as well.

[Evolve Dammit]

47. It is a malevolent sickness. Thanks for being here Irish Dem

[Irish_Dem]

48. YW, thank you for being here!

I appreciate your posts and have always loved your user name.

[Evolve Dammit]

49. All the best, ED

[Brainfodder]

7. Is the hoarder ready for his interrogation?

LIKE WE ARE!

[SheltieLover]

10. Nah

It was her emails.

I'm more than ready to see this mofo frog marched to solitary with a stringeng gag order!

[magicarpet]

9. I can hear the screams from Truth Social now,...

EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE,...

EXECUTIVE POSSESSION,...

EXECUTIVE RIGHTS TO ROYALTIES, COMMISSIONS AND PROFITS,..

EXECUTIVE LIBRARY,..

EXECUTIVE ENTRY ADMISSION FEES,...

EXECUTIVE RIGHTS TO EXTORTION.

EXECUTIVE IN YOUR FACE BOONDOGGLE.

[SheltieLover]

12. No doubt!

After all, qpukes slogan should be: law & order for thee, never for me.

[wnylib]

43. OMG! You just gave me an idea.

Maybe the unclassified thousands of documents were being hoarded so he could hire someone to ghost write his own version of his presidency, with hopes to get a bundle from the sales. His version would have been a "tell all" about "evil Democrats" and justify him staying in office indefinitely in order to "clean up" government.

Trump's version of Mein Kampf.

[getagrip_already]

11. a 500 sheet ream of printer paper is 3-4" tall.....

Even if each doc was a single sheet of paper, that is one big pile of documents.

[SheltieLover]

13. I wonder how many trucks they filled?

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. I think it's probably10,000 pages, not 10k separate documents

All previous reports, including from DOJ, stated around 700 documents filling approx 33 boxes

[Sanity Claws]

17. And that was only MAL

What is at Bedminster, the various kids' properties, etc.?

[SheltieLover]

19. And why haven't other properties been searched?

I'll bet the empty classified folder contents are in exwife's casket.

[dalton99a]

18. Kick

[SheltieLover]

20. Thx

Ridiculous he is still walking around free & running his mouth to foment violence.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

21. So bottom line

Bottom line he is a thief as well as all sorts of other things.

[SheltieLover]

22. He feels the world owes him

[BeerBarrelPolka]

23. Yeah

I have extreme views of Trump that I better keep to myself.

[SheltieLover]

24. Same here.

[Kid Berwyn]

27. Show me a liar...

…and I’ll show Thee a thief.

[SheltieLover]

28. Yup!

[Johnny2X2X]

33. Guarantee they were government documents valuable to industry

Outlook on certain sectors. Confidential economic plans for different the departments. Basic insider trading type stuff.

[onecaliberal]

34. But, but, but the economy is bad....

That what the media is talking about.

[CaptainTruth]

35. I'm curious about the dates on those documents.

I'm betting they span his entire time as POTUS (ugh).

He was probably taking & collecting docs the whole time.

[Handler]

36. Lock the traitor up!

[Tadpole Raisin]

37. I'm physically ill!!

If any republicans or news outlets say no big deal I’ll heave.

Death penalty? I’ll throw the switch.

[LuckyCharms]

38. The guy's like a fucking rabid wild animal.
