29. There's no central repository for classified documents.

And I'm sure in the White House, they're up to their ears in the stuff. They probably handle them regularly. In fact, they probably often create them themselves.

Most likely what happened is that when packing things up, some classified stuff got mixed up with unclassified stuff, and has been sitting in a basement/closet for years. I would honestly think that happens all the time.

That's also likely why the government didn't make a big deal about Trump at first either. First, they asked nicely for the documents. Then, they issued a subpoena. Finally, they got a search warrant. Basically, only when it seemed Trump was willfully refusing to give the documents back did they take serious action.
