Isn't there a good chance more documents were stolen but are no longer in Trump's possesion?

It's been 18 months.

What may he have given to the Saudis?

To Vlad? To any business associate in exchange for money or favors?

Why isn't this a media talking point?

Intel could be stashed in any Trump property in the US or abroad. Marcuse Aug 2022 #1

I thought of that, too, but Trump would retain the originals or have made copies. rsdsharp Aug 2022 #3

If he was selling documents (and I stress “if”), why sell the document only once, when there are other potential buyers?

Is it possible that his tearing up documents in front of witnesses and the partial flashings were ploys to make others think he was destroying docs so no one would consider that he was hoarding and sharing or planning to share with foreign actors ?

Trump is quite crafty.

and I will hazard a guess that the orange anus did not keep a certificate of destruction log.

He probably has a stash in each of his houses, and there is probably some more hidden away at Mara Lago. Of course, some is already in the hands of America's adversaries.
