Just saying it could be that.
Don't look for excuses. Our guy's better than that.

if you go full screen and go frame by frame at the slow-mo part, the way it looked and just landed on the podium suggests it's cloth material and not paper. Paper would not droop over his fingers while still in his grasp unless it was really really old, worn paper, and still it would not have held that shape.

I don't think these were notes. It looks like a handkerchief.

Connected to his sensory orb, its in direct contact with Rush Limbaugh. That is why Rummy looked like he was hyped up on OxyContin and spewing lies.

it bounced like a small stack of paper-clipped index cards.

I tried it and it damn well bounces on a hard surface with one or two paperclips. You clip them to keep them from separating as you remove them from your pocket. They bounce every time. More so if they have been curved from holding them. I used some fresh from a new pack and some slightly curved ones from note my daughter uses for test prep. Bounce bounce bounce. Not scientific but all I wanted to do was duplicate the movement. It is pretty hard to get index cards out of your pocket with them being bound is some way, even ones that have been cut down to a smaller than original size.

My tuppence.

But he sure as hell pulled his entire debate out from his ass.
