He still has top secret docs!

Arrest him now, before he does more harm!!

The inventory shows that 43 empty folders with classified banners were taken from a box or container at the office, along with an additional 28 empty folders labeled as “Return to Staff Secretary” or military aide. Empty folders of that nature were also found in a storage closet.

It is not clear from the inventory list why any of the folders were empty or what might have happened to any of the documents inside

Well, it's been MORE than a year-and-a-half since he got pushed out of power, so he's had a LOT of time to do damage. And being the vengeful, spiteful lies-lot punish-you piss-ant that he is, we shouldn't ever have expected anything OTHER than this.

What I find most annoying is how the news media are still covering him with a wide-eyed naïveté - as though they just met the guy and BY NOW, STILL don't understand what a lying duplicitous piece of shit he is. STILL trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. In the name of being "objective," I guess.

He would be just as guilty. I don't think the applicable law cares why you helped an enemy, only that you did.

It would certainly be in his style to sell them or trade them for something valuable, but I don't think they need to prove that.

Hell, even if just left one in a restaurant absent mindedly, he would be screwed.

If legitimate people had to log out top secret documents to show to president dingbat, why aren't they squawking at this moment? Why didn't they start squawking 2 years ago? When they didn't return the document. Did they just say dipshit has them? And NARA just waited and waited and waited?

Or did he destroy them?

My expectation is that there is a cataloging or archival system that keeps track of these. They will have to sort through all the loose material and match it up to see what's there and what isn't. Give it a while. All we know from the inventory is that the Trump people pulled the documents from the folders and didn't bother to keep track of what went where.

The discarding of folders tells us the Trump folks didn't intend on keeping the documents collated from that point forward. If you went to the trouble to abscond with the material, why wouldn't you keep it separated or organized in some fashion? What's to be derived from that is yet to be determined.
