U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon ordered the more detailed inventory unsealed Thursday after Mr. Trump’s team requested it.
The media, including the Wall Street Journal, are calling the packing of boxes haphazard with secret documents in boxes with newspaper clippings. That is meant as a Trump smear but the truth is he didn’t pack the boxes. The boxes were packed by the GSA. We need to know more about that, but no one is asking publicly.
Agents took around 33 boxes, containing more than 100 classified documents, prosecutors have said. Seven of the boxes or containers were located in Mr. Trump’s office and the rest in a storage room at the private club, according to the inventory.
In one of the boxes found in Mr. Trump’s office, 99 newspaper and magazine clips dated from 2017 and 2018 were held alongside seven documents marked as top secret, 15 documents marked as secret, 43 empty folders marked as classified, and 28 empty folders labeled “Return to Staff Secretary/Miliary[sic] Aide,’ among other items, the receipt shows.
Another five empty folders with classified banners were found in the storage room, according to the list.
So, there were 76 empty folders. Are those the ones with the nuclear codes?
The Justice Department waved this photo around to make Trump look “haphazard.”

What about the dirty panties they stole for sniffy Joe.
The DoJ is running a rope-a-dope on the public. It doesn’t matter that they took documents. It doesn’t matter that they raided an ex-president’s home at the break of dawn with machine guns. It doesn’t matter that they looked in closets and bathrooms and cabinets and desks. The DoJ doesn’t give a hoot about any of this and they know… Read more »

First, people need to understand that NONE of those Documents seized in the Raid are Classified. The fact is that the President’s Staff, including his Lawyers, selected the Documents and he globally declassified them which he has as legal right to do as a President. This has already been ruled on by the Supreme Court. The Constitution trumps the laws… Read more »
