If there were national security secrets at Mar-A-Lago...?

[kentuck]

Why did they wait so long to get a search warrant and seize them?

Did they trust Trump with the documents?

If not, did someone go to sleep on the job?

It seems to me that it should not have taken two years to seize the documents?

Which leads to the question: How safe is our nation?

How competent are the people that are supposed to guard our secrets?

1. IG seems to have been corrupted during drumpfs tenure.

2. I would guess it took quite some time to obtain sufficient proof of what was "missing" or that

others KNEW to be at Mar-a-Lago, sufficient to show cause for the warrant. They likely also went through at least some hoops to try to acquire some of the documents prior--again sufficient to show a Federal Judge that voluntary compliance was unlikely, while the destruction was quite likely.

3. I think there was warning of some deal going down.

A day before his appearance at CPAC, Orbán and his delegation met with former President Donald Trump at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.


Promises made?

Just a guess. There could have been other deals in the works. (searches Craig's List )

12. I bet he offered documents to Orban to rat out his 'enemies' for lots of cash.

13. That was my thought, as well. Some chicanery was imminent. They had to act.

14. How about a three-team trade?

Orban sabotages NATO to benefit Putin, who pays Agent Orange (more). All via diplomatic pouch.

Not sure of the timing on all this. Others will know.

4. My theory is someone ratted out Trump.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he claimed he had no other documents until recently, but let’s face it we are all guessing

[duforsure]

5. They may have just gotten proof,

From people testifying, and from people inside. People were testifying recently that could have talked.

[Blue Owl]

7. I was wondering about that too....

Guess we'll hopefully find out soon what was all going on -- it's just unfortunate that Dump had all that time to use them for his selfish reasons...

[underpants]

8. I wonder if any of these documents have been redacted with ketchup

[Demsrule86]

10. You always want to say our side did something wrong...but perhaps Trump is selling

information or something like that. Also, you don't get to search the former president's residence without massive amounts of information. This truly is unprecedented and could lead to Trump being disqualified to hold public office.

11. Lets throw the recent Saudi Arabia visit into the conversation while we're at it. Lots of potential

for TFG to throw a monkey wrench into something or make some dough in some way. Perhaps it goes back to Kashoggi somehow.

I know, it's a reach perhaps. Just sayin.
