kept under lock and key, almost always in a secure compartmented information facility, with a designated control officer to keep careful tabs on their location.
Clearly this document's "control officer" didn't do that great a job controlling. So how did that happen?
Someone knows who this person is, right? Had a casual talk? Asked a few random questions?

"Jan. 19: Trump tells the Archives that he has designated Mark Meadows, Pat Cipollone, Pat Philbin, Scott Gast, Steven Engel and Michael Purpura, who served in his administration either within the White House or Justice Department, as his representatives to handle matters pertaining to records from his presidency."
I find that very interesting.

Purpura is apparently Cipollone's attorney - https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/former-trump-white-house-lawyer-134204861.html
That 3rd link above has a major (for me) revelation about the frequency of one of the grand jury's sessions -

Pat Cipollone, the former White House counsel, and his attorney Michael Purpura arrived at the federal courthouse shortly after 9:30 a.m. on Friday, where they were greeted in the hallway by Thomas Windom, the lead prosecutor investigating a failed bid by former President Donald Trump's allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election by submitting alternative slates of fake electors to the U.S. National Archives.
They proceeded to the third floor, where the grand jury meets each Friday, according to a Reuters witness.

I knew that federal grand juries in general only get together periodically (often just once a month - perhaps for 1 or more consecutive days). But it's good to know what the frequency is for any of those associated with the 2020 election. So they are meeting "once a week each Friday" - at least the one for the "Fake Electors" grand jury.

Needless to say security was not the tightest.
