What happened to the 40+ folders of classified documents missing at Mar-A-Lago?

[kentuck]

Were any of them ever recovered?

Does anyone know what was in those folders?

Are they being used as a negotiating tool?

Is it possible they were concealed in the 11,000+ documents of "personal" and "unclassified" documents that the Court just released?

It would be interesting to know what was in those documents.

1. Sold to the highest bidder?

5. Hey kentuck

2. When someone commits a crime

and prosecutors wait to investigate, it is extremely hard to answer questions like yours.

My question would be, why wasn't Trump questioned by the FBI where the contents are?

I can speculate; the contents of those folders are probably in Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Israel, Hungary,, North Korea, meanwhile, our foreign agents most likely were murdered. Former CIA Director Brennan said almost as much yesterday. He said we will never know the full extent of damage that Trump did to our national security. I take that to mean it is because we treated Trump with kid gloves.

With that said, there is a new sheriff in town who won't treat Trump with kid gloves.

4. Brennan did say that damage had already been done.

Get Back Jack certainly put him on the defensive rather quickly.

6. I don't think the Saudis came here just to play golf

with Rump.

And I don’t think it requires six strong men to lug-carry a coffin filled with a baggie of ashes to a private property belonging to baggie’s x husband.

Just my opinion.

7. Was recordkeeping as tight as it needed to be? backups, logs, chain of custody?

I doubt we'll ever know if they know or knew

9. As Nicolle Wallace said,

there is a lot that Trump could have done with those top secret documents the length of time he had them. There was zero sense of urgency from DOJ,

Just think about this: if Trump had returned all of the documents when he was initially asked for them, this would not be a story, would be as if nothing happened.

I guarantee this, if Putin wanted to copy all of the documents that Trump stole, you can bet that he has copies of them. he may be the one who told Trump to steal them.

Our allies are going to think twice before sharing intelligence with us. It's a fucking shame that Trump hasn't been subpoenaed to testify over this. Republicans have their own system of justice, look at Matt Gaetz.

14. If only there was a

AG that was the head of the DOJ.

Mr. Garland should have done a little bit more to give focus to this treason.

[onenote]

10. Why do you think the answers to any of your questions would be public information?

[gab13by13]

12. Why shouldn't it be?

Should we have been informed that Trump stole the documents? Was it wrong for those documents to be photographed and displayed for all to see? There were plenty of enormous security breaches in Trump's dealings with classified information during Trump's time in office and we the public knew nothing about it, were kept in the dark. Maybe if a whistleblower had blown the whistle to the public something would have been done sooner?

Kentuck wants to know the status of the investigation into them. Since DOJ hasn't subpoenaed Trump to explain the missing documents, I think Kentuck is asking a fair question.

[triron]

13. Yes and I venture to say the answers would shock much of

The public, including the media.

[Ocelot II]

11. They're missing. If their whereabouts were known they wouldn't be missing.

[CrispyQ]

15. Oh, who cares?

Obviously the DOJ/FBI/authorities don't. We look weak & foolish to the rest of the world letting the traitor negotiate while in possession of classified documents. Besides being pissed that some of their own secrets might be compromised, our allies are laughing at the mighty USA, because apparently we won't or don't know how to deal with Trump. There's an old saying, "Strike while the iron is hot," & we squandered that opportunity, so those secrets could be anywhere & we'll probably never know the extent of damage Trump has done & continues to do.

16. How many documents for 2 billion dollars?

17. Ivana's giant casket for her ashes hasn't been dug up from the golf course yet

I think it was Eric who swore up and down there was nothing like documents in the casket.

[mitch96]

20. It would be interesting, if in the dark of night a ground penetrating radar unit just so happens

to roll over her grave...hummmmm

21. "Eric who swore there was no documents in the casket... yea right...

And as the famous ancient Latin quote

"ipse est Trump ibi iacet.

He is a trump, there fore he lies...

[Turbineguy]

18. Since trump seems to think these are his personal property

they were probably sold.

[blogslug]

22. You mean the 43 empty ones?

My theory is those folders were always empty, meaning that the folders that hold classified documents are probably pre-printed in bulk. I think the old thief told somebody to snag a case of them so he could use them as decoration in his tacky clubs.

Looks like Trump is hiding classified documents in plain sight in the Trump Tower bar.
