Trump has his own "pool boy"????

Exclusive: Mar-a-Lago pool flood raises suspicions among prosecutors in Trump classified documents case

https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/05/politics/mar-a-lago-pool-flood-suspicions-prosecutors-trump-investigation-classified-documents/index.html

Washington
CNN

An employee at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence drained the resort’s swimming pool last October and ended up flooding a room where computer servers containing surveillance video logs were kept, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

While it’s unclear if the room was intentionally flooded or if it happened by mistake, the incident occurred amid a series of events that federal prosecutors found suspicious.

At least one witness has been asked by prosecutors about the flooded server room as part of the federal investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents, according to one of the sources.

“It’s unclear if the room was intentionally flooded…..”

For some perverse reason, I’m watching bill Murray eat a chocolate bar in a drained pool. But. That was good comedy.

If they do, then questioning how long the servers have been placed there are relevant, along with questions of what steps if any have been taken to prevent a repeat of flooding. If they do not, then questioning what were the reasons in changes in how the pool was drained, and whose decisions authorized the changes need to be asked. Being that the pool is not new to the property, when the placement of the servers in the room occurred also needs to be asked.

and if you're stupid you learn the hard way.

I guess if you're a criminal, you take note in case you need a flooded room at any time in the future.
