"Nobody ever slept on that side of the bed usually so he would have it all full of boxes"

[bigtree]

from Marcy Wheeler (emptywheel) :

The government has filed their response to Trump’s argument that, because some of the contents of Trump’s boxes have shifted during the investigation, the entire indictment must be dismissed.

"... interesting detail is that Person 81 described how there was a cluster of boxes right next to Trump’s bed at the White House.

"So if you walk into the room, his bed — there’s a nightstand, his bed, and then there’s, like, a — where another nightstand was but nobody ever slept on that side of the bed usually so he would have it all full of boxes."

Now, I get the impetus. Back in the days when most of my reading was still dead tree books, there’d be a stack of them there, next to my side of the bed, maybe two stacks. There are still four or five in-process books on the bookshelf by the bed...

But Trump’s White House aide was describing boxes and boxes of White House documents, including classified documents.

They were right there by the side of the bed because (usually) no one slept on that side of the bed.

Trump took secret trip to Mar-a-Lago just weeks before an FBI raid, witnesses say

Sources close to the matter told ABC News that witnesses who spoke to prosecutors said that the former president made a previously undisclosed trip to Mar-a-Lago in July 2022, his aides instructed to "keep quiet" about the jaunt to Florida just weeks before FBI agents searched the property.

At least one witness close to Trump reportedly told prosecutors that he was told, at the time of Trump's trip, that the former president was there "checking on boxes."

1. So where are the boxes that TSF was supposed to have "checked on"?

Did the FBI follow up and retrieve them or are they still "missing"?

[Irish_Dem]

2. Still missing.

John Brennan, former CIA director, says classified docs are still missing.
Trump most likely has them hidden in his other properties which Garland
and the FBI never searched.

[bamagal62]

28. In Ivana's casket?

[Bucky]

3. So now the FBI will have to heck the boxes for DNA stains

4. Looks like Melania's been gone for quite a while: "Nobody ever slept on that side of the bed..."

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—In a rare public statement on Monday, Melania Trump said her husband has exhibited “alarming mental decline” since she last saw him three years ago.

Mrs. Trump said that she happened to see him on television recently ranting about sharks and boats and was struck by how much he had deteriorated over the past three years.

“He was incoherent before, but now he be worst,” she said.

5. What a slob! nt

[Blue Owl]

15. They don't call him The Slobfather for nothin'....

[PCIntern]

6. So this opens a whole paper bag of questions, including:

Who has he been fucking for the last few years and where? I don’t want to hear he’s too old.

[ihaveaquestion]

7. Not too old... just too disgusting.

[PCIntern]

12. Well...he was a real male-model type when

A PLAYBOY CENTERFOLD WAS FUCKING HIM AND STATED THAT SHE WAS “IN LOVE.”

Disgusting…absolutely as far as you and I are concerned. But….

[rubbersole]

9. He's been fucking America's reputation...

...and everyone who has worked or sacrificed for this country. Not too old to still be doing it.

[Prairie Gates]

11. And, more importantly, does Trump play the guitar?

Looks like a Gibson case.

[Wednesdays]

17. I was thinking it was a violin case

Apropos for a mobster like TSF.

[magicarpet]

26. That is where he keeps his AR-15.

[Grins]

8. So where did Melania sleep?

Bringing to life the rumors that the green-card trophy wife who married the oozing ignorant pustule for his money, recoils at his touch, never smiles in his presence, and who sits in her room waiting to become a wealthy widow, refuses to share his bed.

[PatSeg]

13. Oh, I think everyone has known for some time,

that they don't share a bedroom and usually live very separate lives.

[marble falls]

20. The room with the double deadbolt locks on it.

[Maru Kitteh]

25. .

[SamKnause]

10. There is no reasonable explanation why that mother fucker is not in prison !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! None.

If the U.S. justice system is the best in the world, the world is in trouble.

I am sick of white collar crime and criminals getting a pass.

They shouldn't have special prisons for white collar criminals.

They shouldn't be treated any different than a blue collar criminal.

They shouldn't be allowed to pay fines and admit no guilt.

The whole system is fucked up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Delay, delay, delay.

[calimary]

21. Just let me know when he goes away, goes away, goes away.

At this point, that’s the only think I’m interested in, when it comes to the donald.

[PatSeg]

14. So, all those overturned boxes

were probably because Trump went through them in a hurry?

[bucolic_frolic]

16. Melania replaced by classified documents. Some deep psychology there.

The trappings of power. 95% of Trump's mind is unknown, even to him.

[CaptainTruth]

18. And there's a Gibson guitar case involved too.

What's in that?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

19. traitortrump monetized our national security.

[nolabear]

22. Looks like a hoarder's place. I say dig up Ivana.

It’s only logical.

[nolabear]

23. It looks like a hoarder's house. Dig up Ivana.

It’s only logical.

[bigtree]

24. like someone living in a hotel room

...yuck!

[GenThePerservering]

27. What in HELL is that dopey picture of Trump

leaning against the right-hand wall?
