Could it be that Trump is missing documents today because he sold the originals?

Afraid that copying documents might leave a trace, as would sending screen shot pictures of the documents, could Trump have sent the originals. Could he have sent the Iranian war plans, say, to the Saudis? Someone would visit his course/compound/office in New Jersey or Florida and simply pick the documents up. Simple and "clean."

Sounds crazy, right?

But what part of this incident (from packing them up, to showing them off, to hiding them from the FBI, and even claiming they were all returned) sounds sane?.

This is a "functioning" crazy man like Ahab, but unlike Ahab both his aim AND methods are mad.

What on earth did Kushner do to receive that much money? Any connection to the potential missing document?

I don't see any reason to believe that whatever searching his lawyers did was truly exhaustive/thorough.

They said that they could tell by the border on one of the documents, that it was a copy. I then texted my sister who used to handle classified documents if any of that was true. She would only reply "the borders are classified". She is very tight lipped. She did say if she did what Trump did she would be in Lansing. So I think it is true one document is a copy.
