MSM was snookered, as I predicted.

People close to Donald Trump appear to have been misleading reporters as The Washington Post, The New York Times, and CNN all broke news regarding the stunning revelation more classified documents were found among items Trump had shipped from federal government offices to Florida – this time, to a storage facility in West Palm Beach.

The Washington Post broke the news that the Trump legal time had hired a third party to search for classified documents, after the Dept. of Justice remained unconvinced all classified documents Trump had removed from the White House had been retrieved or returned.

3. Will you please post the excerpt with the specifics on how the reporters were mislead?

presumbably the article spells that out, but it would be nice if that specific bit was excerpted here for our benefit.

thanks!

4. last line is interesting -- I'll see if I can find Haberman's statement, too.

People close to Donald Trump appear to have been misleading reporters as The Washington Post, The New York Times, and CNN all broke news regarding the stunning revelation more classified documents were found among items Trump had shipped from federal government offices to Florida – this time, to a storage facility in West Palm Beach.

The Washington Post broke the news that the Trump legal time had hired a third party to search for classified documents, after the Dept. of Justice remained unconvinced all classified documents Trump had removed from the White House had been retrieved or returned.

As it turned out, this latest batch, which The Post now reports were only two classified documents, had been shipped not from the White House but from a federal office building in Virginia that Trump and his team had been using after he left the White House.

The Post in its initial story had reported its sources said no classified documents had been found. It later updated that report, including the title of the article which now reads: “Items with classified markings found at Trump storage unit in Florida.

“Trump’s lawyers have told the Justice Department that the outside team did not turn up any new classified information during their search of Bedminster and Trump Tower, according to people familiar with the process, and have said they utilized a firm that had expertise in searching for documents,” The Post added.

Outside of her reporting with Alan Feuer at The New York Times, Maggie Haberman noted the deception or lack of information her sources presented.

Now you should be able to read the comments, which are extensive and interesting.

8. Well, wait and see. The coverage I've read referred to "classified markings;"

and being professionals, when information has not yet been confirmed to their standards they say so and ascribe it to their sources. Not just a professional journalistic standard but standard professional ass covering. If what they confirm has to be walked back from what sources said, they'll do it.

9. It's worse than that already..

..but one would have to read what has happened to get the drift. A mess.

10. What's the size of the mess? Does it turn out tRump camp's

playing the press and the 11th Circuit and he's going to walk free because the WaPo and NYT report what tRump sources told them? I can't follow Brad Moss's unstated reasoning and await more. The media did note that the FBI declined a rather suspicious invitation to come "step in it."
