    It’s gonna be unbelievably dystopian if this guy weasels his way back into office. No policy other than unhinged vengeance.

      It’s been reported that some employees helped carry similar boxes into a plane just days before the FBI (?) executed their search warrant. Meaning, there is likely more classified material in other properties owned by Trump.

      Remember when Trump disrupted another prosecution because some of the prosecutors had sex? Expect a full-bore media frenzy over this.

        Yeah. That was fucking stupid on their part. One of the only times I kinda agreed with trumps incessant bitching and complaining. I hate that I feel that way lol

            People who are intimately involved have a tendency to make compromised decisions involving the other person. It isn’t just about doing the right thing, it is about looking like you are doing the right thing too.

              Even if they don’t have sex, people who work closely together inevitably become intimate.

              Judgement can be clouded for all kinds of reasons. That’s also unavoidable in any complex undertaking without rising to the level of malfeasance or negligence.

                  They stopped having sex before the indictment. What’s idiotic is people thinking that two people who ever had sex before shouldn’t work together.

            It clouds the judgment of their character. That gives trump an opening… aka dumb AF on their part.

    … the prosecutor’s team said some evidence in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case are no longer in their “original, intact” form.

    … federal prosecutors wrote in court filings that there are some boxes where the “order of items within that box is not the same” as they appear in digital scans of materials in the wake of the FBI …

      “For example, the boxes contain items smaller than standard paper such as index cards, books, and stationary, which shift easily when the boxes are carried, especially because many of the boxes are not full,” Smith’s team wrote.

      Of course, not enough information from Newsweek to understand what has supposedly moved or what the actual complaint is - but all of Donald Trump’s ranting accusations are quoted in full and without comment.

        Plenty of information was given:

        In their court filings, the federal prosecutors suggested “several possible examples” why some of the materials in questions may no longer be in their original sequence as when FBI agents retrieved them from Mar-a-Lago, including the “size and shape of certain items in the boxes” possibly leading to them moving around.

        “For example, the boxes contain items smaller than standard paper such as index cards, books, and stationary, which shift easily when the boxes are carried, especially because many of the boxes are not full,” Smith’s team wrote.

        The filings add that precisely where the classified materials were stored in the boxes at Mar-a-Lago does not affect the criminal case “in any way,” nor give Nauta a reason to delay proceedings

        Maybe you missed these paragraphs?

    His entire argument is based on the fact that some papers in a box might have shifted around a bit? Not that they’re not there, but that they’re just a little jumbled from transport?

    It’s weird that he’s claiming the boxes of national secrets are his personal documents he’s allowed to have (untrue) and also that it’s a “box hoax?” What part could possibly be a hoax, if he’s agreeing that he had the documents?
