The Missing Mar-a-Lago Documents, Cont'd.

 

Following up on our post yesterday about the 88 folders marked classified (46) or "return to staff secretary/military aide" (42) which were found empty, there is growing concern about what the Malignant Loser has done with the missing material that was in those folders. Intelligence officials will be trying to assess the potential damage to national security, and will have to work with custody logs identifying each folder's contents, albeit in general terms. But where did the contents go, and for what purpose?  Former Justice Department official and member of Robert Mueller's prosecutorial team Andrew Weissman expressed his thoughts on MSNBC:

"Ever since we learned that there was a search warrant and learned that there were classified documents, what was in the back of everyone's mind was the fear that these didn't all stay at Mar-a-Lago, and was there any dissemination. That is the reason why government documents are supposed to stay with the government, classified documents are supposed to stay in a SCIF and top secret documents, more than that, are highly restricted in terms of who has access. And that is because of the concern that they get into the wrong hands.

"And when you see how many folders were empty, that is the thing that causes you to take a deep breath and really be concerned about what happened to them. It is very reason for this investigation and for the Department of Justice to be taking these actions. And the second thing that crossed my mind is we have learned a lot about Mar-a-Lago, that that is not the only place that the former president has a residence. And although he was given a grand jury subpoena that called for him to produce documents wherever located, that was not — we know that was not complied with." (our emphasis)

If the DOJ can determine through its sources that the Malignant Loser has shifted classified or sensitive documents to another property of his, another search warrant should be prepared and executed. There's no innocent explanation when it comes to the disgraceful and disloyal Malignant Loser, and if he's sold or bartered classified information to his allies abroad (Putin? Kim?) he's guilty of treason. Period.
