Also, I am stuck on the fact that NONE of this makes ANY sense at all. The completely absurd timeline, how those papers ever got out of safe rooms in the first place, regardless of who was president, given the security protocols in place for top secret nuclear material that NO ONE is allowed to circumvent.
