Trump admits to taking classified folders as 'cool keepsake': 'I saved hundreds of them'

Donald Trump admitted to keeping government materials as "cool" keepsakes, but he insisted he kept only the folders and not the classified documents they had contained. The former president issued a pair of posts on his Truth Social website claiming that reports about the top-secret materials he hoarded at Mar-a-Lago and elsewhere were inaccurate, and tried out a new defense by insisting that 48 folders marked "classified" that were seized by FBI agents had been empty when he carted them off from the White House as souvenirs.

"The Fake News Media & Crooked Democrats (That’s been proven!) keep saying I had a 'large number of documents' in order to make the Biden Classified Docs look less significant," Trump posted. "When I was in the Oval Office, or elsewhere, & 'papers' were distributed to groups of people & me, they would often be in a striped paper folder with 'Classified' or 'Confidential' or another word on them. When the session was over, they would collect the paper(s), but not the folders, & I saved hundreds of them."

"Remember, these were just ordinary, inexpensive folders with various words printed on them, but they were a 'cool' keepsake," he added. President Joe Biden's attorneys notified the Department of Justice that some Obama-era classified materials were found at his private residence and at the Penn Biden Center, which a special counsel has been tasked with investigating, but Trump said his own actions were entirely justified.

"Perhaps the Gestapo took some of these empty folders when they Raided Mar-a-Lago, & counted them as a document, which they are not," Trump posted. "It’s also possible that the Trump Hating Marxist Thugs in charge will 'plant' documents while they’re in possession of the material. As President, and based on the Presidential Records Act & Socks Case, I did NOTHING WRONG. JOE DID!"

1. "It's also possible that the Trump Hating Marxist Thugs in charge will 'plant' documents ...."

Can we just lock the law breaking mother fucker up now? He had documents marked TK that had to
do with our satellites, what they could do, and where they were "taking pictures." I have a family
member who worked with that technology and to this day that person can not tell me what he/she
was doing. Even though Russia invaded Ukraine for a second time in 2022 after TFG was gone from
office we have had satellites in geosynchronous orbit over that area and Trump no doubt tipped Vlad
off about those satellites.

America has had 3 people who were found guilty of espionage @ the level which TFG might have very
well been at and we executed 2 of them (the Rosenbergs*) and the other is FBI agent Robert Hansen
and he is doing 15 life terms in the US Super Max in Colorado.

* sorry fellow liberal they were really dirty.

4. Entirely off topic, but that was one of Bogie's best performances.

Oscar nomination worthy at least.

2. His unfitness for the job is his best defence.

After all, it's not entirely his fault he was elected.

5. and all those White House people hauling boxes of

folders .. they did this because…. lol.

Trump has really put foot in ass

[Chainfire]

6. And, were the empty folders his to take?

[gratuitous]

7. So, according to Trump, I can take anything I want without paying for it

As long as it's "cool," it's mine to take. That about sum it up?

8. Seriously, did anyone count all the silver after he was gone?

9. So, I'm not far off in my theory

...that he took those empty folders expressly to use them as decorations for his crappy clubs.

Looks like Trump is hiding classified documents in plain sight in the Trump Tower bar.
