So TFG couldn't afford to hire someone to pack up his shit in an organized fashion?

So he was just running around throwing things into boxes and garbage bags, and that's how the classified documents made it to Merde a Lotto?

Oh, Please.

But any attempt to start the move probably piss Trump off, because he insisted he was staying. So they went around walking on eggshells collecting things up when he wasn’t looking. I have no idea what a grown-ass people would demean themselves that way

Despite many requests and being subpoenaed.

Not one of Trump's many desperate excuses passes the sniff test.

They thought they could sell, grabbing anything and everything like thrives in the night.

by the National Archive, they had to negotiate with his attorneys to get the docs back. For a year. Doesn't sound like "oops, they just got mixed in with our stuff" to me.

Plausible deniability is the ability of people, typically senior officials in a formal or informal chain of command, to deny knowledge of or responsibility for any damnable actions committed by members of their organizational hierarchy.

That's why the transition was so slipshod, and why the incoming administration had to spend a lot of time early on doing things that the former guy should have done in the two and a half months after he lost the 2020 election. Landlords are familiar with the evicted renter who left the place trashed. That's Donald Trump.
