33. They would not have done this without a back and forth.

They knew what documents he had because they keep a trail of possession for the top secret stuff. If X goes missing and Y was last with it then Y has it or needs to be questioned about it. Trump for sure lied to his lawyer but his mere possession of it, because of how the chain of custody works, means he had to know he was in possession of it. It's not like oh wow his maids are going to take a big box of classied top secret materials and just walk with it. That's not how it works that's not how any of this works.

It's entirely possible TFG lied to his lawyer, which is something TFG certainly does Ocelot II Aug 2022 #9
