    Oh shit, did we forget about all this treason?

    Nice. So, yeah.

    And remember how there were office printers in the rooms with these stacks of documents? Nothing but boxes and a pro level printer in each of these rooms?

    Every photo shows this. A room full of boxes and a very nice printer.

    Good lord, I’m not the only one who remembers these photos??

    Like anyone who’s been paying the least bit of attention, I was wondering “wait, what’s new here?”

    In a letter sent Tuesday to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Raskin said the documents point to a broader risk to national security, writing: “These new disclosures suggest that Donald Trump stole documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire U.S. government had access to them, that the documents President Trump stole pertained to his business interests.”

    This is more interesting than the headline, in my opinion. The claim that they “pertained to his business interests” is not exactly the same thing as selling them to the highest bidder. It suggests either that Trump’s businesses are the subject of intense scrutiny by the fed or, more likely and more worrying, Trump is much deeper into brokering sensitive information than we expected (as in, it’s one of his main sources of income).

        You joke, but I’m 100% sure some of those classified documents were about Obama. And they were in the bathroom for this exact reason.

      I mean, it’s an important headline, and I’m glad it’s out there, but…

      yes. Anyone paying attention already knew this. This is for the benefit of those who haven’t, and to create a record.
