1. Stop obsessing about the safe

There is NO evidence that the safe was searched for something specific. There is no evidence that something notable was found inside it.

The FBI had a search warrant for the entire grounds. If they found a safe, they would have requested that it be opened (Trump's lawyers were there)

4. I don't know about that, I bet the big letter from Kim Jong-un was there.

I think that was very precious to Donnie. Made him feel like one of the dictators.

Hotel rooms in 3rd world countries have safes in them.

Trump, Melania, Ivanka, Baron, Jared, Don Jr, Jr's girlfriend, Jr's ex-wife, Eric, Eric's wife, Secret Service detail (2 or 4), his two attorneys, Mark Meadows, Steve Bannon... oops, too many!

9. I'd guess Trump bragged on the documents he had to several people, asking for advice

...one or more of whom likely went right afterward to the Justice Dept. after telling him they wouldn't touch the stolen or incriminating docs with a ten foot pole.

10. Little-known feature of Trump's Mar-a-Lago: Bomb shelters

In fact, Mar-a-Lago is home to three bomb shelters ....

The bomb shelters are no secret: Cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post, who built Mar-a-Lago in 1927, had the bomb shelters installed during the Korean War. They were mentioned in nearly every Palm Beach Post report on the sale of Mar-a-Lago to Trump in the mid-1980s. And Trump has occasionally spoken of them since.

In a 2007 Esquire profile, then-businessman Trump told writer Tom Junod that three of his properties are equipped with bunkers — Mar-a-Lago, Trump International Golf Club in suburban West Palm Beach and Trump’s estate in Westchester, New York. The bomb shelter at the golf course now serves a different purpose.


How many of Trump's properties like that wouldn't have a safe?

Now, which toilet had the largest orifice ... that might be insider knowledge ...
