‘It worried people all the time': How Trump’s handling of secret documents led to the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago search
Trump’s cavalier approach to sensitive documents, and his lack of preparation to depart the White House, landed him in an FBI investigation, sources say.

When it finally dawned on Donald Trump in the twilight of his presidency that he wouldn’t be living at the White House for another four years, he had a problem: He had barely packed and had to move out quickly.

West Wing aides and government movers frantically tossed documents and other items into banker boxes that were shipped to a storage room at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida along with other, previously packed records set aside by Trump, sometimes erratically so, according to two sources with knowledge of Trump’s move and records issues.

There, in that Mar-a-Lago room, some of the boxes contained documents with sensitive materials that the federal government appears to consider so important to national security that FBI agents Monday took the unprecedented step of executing a search warrant at the home of a former president to seize them. The records comprised 11 sets of classified documents, including some that were labeled secret and top secret, according to a property receipt from the search.

Trump’s style of handling White House documents has been described by people who worked for him as slapdash and ad hoc, contributing to the debacle he now faces. He was known to rip up records that aides would have to retrieve from trash cans or from the floor and tape back together, according to former aides and multiple reports.

How Trump’s handling of secret documents led to the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago search

Bullshit.  It is the politicization of the Justice Department that led to the Mar-a-Lago search.  For the sophomoric detailing of the inventory list alone, agents should be fired.

Key libspeak word - "appears".  They do not speak in terms of what actually is, but in terms of how they made it look.

Labeled by the FBI themselves - not by Trump.

"People who worked for him" and "former aides" refer to a select few unnamed sources who claimed to work for him at one time or another but who now hold grudges against him.  It does not include a single one of his many many aides who would dispute that claim.  And by "multiple reports" they refer to the reports of their colleagues who have editors pushing the same narrative with the same unnamed sources.

Why does it always take four byline reporters to do these hit pieces? Does the story become four times more believable?

They could feature a squadron of reporters and it still wouldn’t make it true. Might as well just stamp across the top: “Propaganda— For Immediate release”.

This is the real reason not to react when they bum rush us with their garbage. Just sit back, be patient, and keep poking at the contradictions and it all falls apart.
