Showing Original Post only (View all)Of Course: Mar-a-Lago Has Underground Tunnels (A Security Nightmare) [View all]
.
According to a new book by Andrew Kurtzman, former attorney for Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani and his third wife, Judith, secretly moved into a bungalow across from the ex-President's Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago. At the time, Rudy Jailiani was drinking heavily. Although Rudy denies having a drinking problem, he's been accused of it quite often. Giuliani was suffering from depression at the time, too. Reports of Mar-a-Lago being a security nightmare just got worse.
Wealthy people used these tunnels to smuggle booze during Prohibition. Again, the entire place is a national security nightmare, and yet, that's where the one-term meathead kept our country's most sensitive documents, apparently just lying around all willy-nilly. Quick question: When is that traitor going to be perp-walked?

Kirtzmans reporting of Giulianis little-known 2008 stay at Mar-a-Lago a period when in Giulianis ex-wifes words he was both speaking to therapists and always falling shitfaced somewhere also prefigures Giulianis current role in American public life, as a chaotic, picaresque Trump booster seemingly impervious to personal or political embarrassment.

The former mayor and his wife, Kirtzman writes, moved into a bungalow across the street from Mar-a-Lago but connected by a tunnel underneath South Ocean Boulevard, one of many little known passages and rooms beneath the expansive resort. The secret route allowed the couple to come and go from Trumps home without the media knowing.

A student gained access to Donald Trump's Florida residence while the president was staying at the property after sneaking through a tunnel leading from a nearby beach.
Mark Lindblom, who was 18 at the time, spent 20 minutes wandering around the communal areas of Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort before he was arrested.
Secret Service agents approached the teenager after becoming suspicious that he was not a member of the golf club.

So, pretty much, packages could be placed anywhere in these tunnels for spies to pick up undetected.

OP
I thought the same until the basement hallways and secured room. Apparently MAL was designed as such

The tunnel appears in a 1928 floor plan for the estate in the LoC's 'Historic American Buildings'
