U.S. reveals more classified records may be missing in Trump probe

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Former U.S. President Donald Trump's team may not have returned all the classified records removed from the White House at the end of his presidency even after an FBI search of his home, U.S. prosecutors warned on Thursday, calling it a potential national security risk that needs investigation.

That revelation came in a Justice Department court filing asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to let it continue reviewing about 100 classified records seized by the FBI at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate while it investigates whether classified documents were illegally removed from the White House and improperly stored there.

Trump is under investigation for retaining government records, some of which were marked as highly classified, at the resort in Palm Beach, Florida, his home after leaving office in January 2021.

The 100 documents represent a fraction of the more than 11,000 records and photographs seized, most of which the government said Trump may review because they are not classified.

Something was in those empty folders.

1. Why haven't they searched every Trump property

And Trump himself? And his cronies.

[Haggard Celine]

2. And his kids.

Michael Cohen thinks he might have stashed some of it at the kids' houses.

[soldierant]

5. And Ivana's coffin.

[SergeStorms]

11. And Melanie's "kidneys".

🤔

3. Strange to me that they haven't.

[ToxMarz]

7. I think they need to show probable cause that something is specifically at

a location before they can get a search warrant. Anyone can reasonably assume there is, but that's maybe not enough to get a warrant.

10. Correct

[2naSalit]

15. +1

4. hey msn, it is Twice impeached, defeated former president. Do try to report

correctly.

[Cozmo]

6. MSM never held to any kind of accountability, it's an insult to those of us who have a half a brain

[niyad]

8. I am surprised that my brain has not completely revolted and taken a hike.

[Rebl2]

9. Oh my

How surprising 😐

[ffr]

12. I know, arrest the person responsible and waterboard him, like so many in the GOP profess.

That should get the answer real quick.

p.s. make sure he's wearing a new adult diaper, not the used one he normally has.

13. My Understanding

Each classified document is numbered and cataloged. They know what’s missing, where it was last seen, who took it out, and maybe who bought it on the black market in an FBI sting operation.

Anyone dumb enough to steal paper documents is too stupid to outwit the security surrounding those documents.

Unless it’s an inside job.

16. In retrospect

the DC to Mar-A-Ghastly to foreign eyes document pipeline has probably been going on since 2016.

17. I imagine them cracking open a safe (or casket) and having hundreds of burner phones

Come pouring out. Micro chips and top secret files and hamburger wrappers.

[RexLipton]

18. Why do they continue to say:

“…while it investigates whether classified documents were illegally removed from the White House and improperly stored there”.


In which universe could anyone legally remove classified documents from the White House and store them at their club (which just happens to be a playground for foreign spies)?

[DallasNE]

19. Indeed. There should be A Unique Number Assigned to Each Folder

That is repeated on each document making it easy to put the files back together. Something along the line of the Dewey Decimal System used in libraries. The folder. Would also define list the subject matter, etc.

[Sogo]

20. Too bad for Trump that

he dissed the IC for all those years he was in the WH….

[Skittles]

21. WHY WAS HE ALLOWED TO TAKE CLASSIFIED DOCS HOME WITH HIM

WTF, WHY DO THEY NEVER ANSWER THAT QUESTION

[spanone]

22. DUH
