1. The bankers boxes in the video are not "evidence" of a crime.

I have a closet full of the exact banker's boxes, bought at Wal-Mart, and there is not one top secret document in the house.

The timing and the type of storage boxes is suspicious, but probably not sufficient for a search warrant. If I were the investigator, I would certainly like to talk to the people in the video about where the boxes came from.

On a side note, I can hear what the woman carrying the boxes said to the man trying to relieve the damsel in distress carrying the heavy box, "No, I've got this!"

3. No but there is already evidence that he concealed and Top Secret files are missing.

This shows that SOMETHING left Mar A Lago at that time and combined with several attempts to keep the documents from being discovered and retrieved, I think it opens the door to search all locations they may have been removed to as a pattern of behavior, not necessarily dependent upon the boxes.

BUT who takes that many boxes of paperwork for a quick vacay?

Have they seen tRump take that many boxes on the regular or only when leaving the White House? That was a full move.

I know I overpack, but I would expect it to be boxes of snacks, not paperwork for tRump.

5. I would bet, dollars to donuts that those boxes and their contents no longer exist.

After the Mar-a-Loco raid, they would have been sent to the incinerator. (Unless Trump is even crazier than I think, and that is a very high bar) It may have been the contents of the empty folders, but we will probably never know, unless someone has a "Come to Jesus meeting" experience with the DOJ investigators and grand juries.

8. Yeah. I wouldn't take that bet. I'd just buy you the donuts.

HOWEVER, since they saw them get loaded, there is the question, "What were they and where are they now?"

Destroying evidence is illegal too.

MAYBE he flushed them and they are still in the sewer system!!!

OMG wouldn't that be ironic?

Justice matters.

2. Trumper Aileen QAnnon may have impeded the FBI & IC investigation for a reason...

She may be found complicit in another Obstruction case.

Stay tuned!


Start a brand new investigation DOJ because she may have helped the treasonous criminal hide classified docs in his ex-wife coffin...

Make QAnnon a witness/subject to start with...

4. I think we need to do everything to take down EVERY tRump enabler.

AND if there are docs in the coffin, he has to give back those documents AND his tax write off too.

Justice matters.

13. Right, it's important to pay attention to the date of this video

Ivana hadn't died yet. In May 2021 nobody knew that Ivana would be buried in Bedminster a year later.

This is just an unexplained movement of LOTS of documents less than 5 months after Chump left the White House. By that time the U.S. Archives (NARA) had already noticed that certain Top Secret documents were missing from the White House. They requested that the documents be returned and Chump denied he had them. But 9 or 10 large unidentified boxes suddenly relocated to Bedminster a short time later.

11. I would check Ivana's grave.

I understand she was cremated, but there seems to be a yuuuuuuuge hole in the ground at the cemetery/golf course. Wonder what else could be buried there.

12. To Trump staff member: "What was in the boxes you carried to the plane?"

Staff member: "I dunno. The boxes had a cover on each of 'em. I couldn't see what was in 'em."

And there you go.
