Did Trump digitize all of the classified documents?

[dwayneb]

I never hear this mentioned, in all of the coverage I have seen over the last couple of years. Did the DOJ confiscate computers and laptops and other digital devices during their raid? If they did I never heard about it. To me this is the elephant in the room. Sure they can get boxes of documents back in their possession, but what if all of these were scanned and those files are stored - somewhere.

Maybe DOJ is keeping this quiet, but even then you would think media would be bright enough to ask this question.

1. Kind of doubt it. Trump would want to touch them. Paper is easier to show around.

Someone could have but I don't think that would be Trump's preference.

He would need to be able to see them and touch them. Those boxes meant something to him.

Again, someone else could have done so. Probably did.

2. Kushner might want to use modern technology to store and sell the documents.

Kushner was Trump's bagman in the stolen document operation.

4. Him I can see doing it.

16. When will they go after Jared?

Jack must be planning something..

[Irish_Dem]

20. Don't know if they will go after Jared or not.

Time will tell.

3. But that would be illegal.

8. Of course.

Being ILLEGAL adds to the attraction and desire to commit a serious crime without the consequences.

6. We do know at least one laptop had a document on it. It was confiscated.

7. They were copied

It doesn't take much more to scan them or take pics with a cell phone. That's what makes this such a mess for the intel peeps!

9. Not much of a digital guy...

But maybe that photocopier there is a clue.

[Lonestarblue]

11. It looks like a good clue.

I would like to see Trump denied bail and the FBI then search every one of his residences for copies of documents, along with every computer and portable devices found on the premises—and don’t skip Melania’s computers and private spaces. Trump is known to be computer illiterate; Melania most likely is computer literate. Any personal staff who worked for Trump at any location should also have their electronic devices searched. Perhaps the FBI has done some of this, but I suspect Trump has hidden a lot. How much of this top-secret intel also resides on computers owned by Jr. Ivanka/Jared, and Eric? If it was on e there, I’m sure it’s been downloaded and is now stored somewhere offshore. This whole family is nothing but corrupt.

18. That's a pony wall made of brick or concrete block, not a copy machine.

Zoom in and you can see the individual bricks/blocks in the wall.

[LunaSea]

21. You're right.

A closer look was in order, thanks.

10. Steal once, sell many times.

It's a business model.

[tanyev]

12. Not without help.

[Proud to be Woke]

13. Oh yes

I do it all the time for work and hobbies. Some aide of his could do it.

14. NFTs

[doc03]

15. He sure had lots of time to do it nt

[Fiendish Thingy]

17. They did seize some devices

One laptop had copies of two presidential schedule documents.

Those are the only scanned documents that have been reported.

More importantly, one of the laptops had the audio files of Trump showing documents to Meadows’ biographers.

[Arazi]

19. Yes. The originals fetched top dollar

But copies would still have value for bad actors
