Why is there still so much paper these days? Is a digital trail too prone to interception? I'm just baffled how there's boxes and boxes and boxes of paper intel these days.

The intel is printed from computers inside of secure rooms. It is then organized into binders for certain readers or categories of readers who are VIPs and who generally prefer to read in their offices rather than go to the secure room to read on their computers.

At times, the VIP will request a copy of a report or set of reports to be retained by their staff in an appropriate safe or facility. That is how paper intel records get brought into these scenarios.

Same poster again- it is also worth noting that Mar A Lago has a SCIF, which is a room approved to store and discuss classified information up to Top Secret and Sensitive Compartmented Information. This may play into why the documents were at MAL. Given the SCIF at his house, it makes a lot more sense to me that these documents were in the house while he was president and not returned, vs that he somehow exfiltrated the documents from the WH and loaded them on a plane bound for FL, AFTER he left the presidency. That is not a very plausible scenario to me.

It leads to the question of why the documents werent just cleared out after the SCIF was decommissioned. The entire thing is odd.

Thank you for the reply!

So it is impossible for people (with the appropriate clearance) to read these sensitive documents (1) anywhere not being physically the secure rooms? So the paper/binders make the documents transportable for review - in the appropriate hands and wider range of appropriate places? And thus the warrant, because the paper documents were taken into an inappropriate/not secured space?

Thank you for indulging my pea brain!

No need to worry about it. Arcane stuff and not germane to the issue at hand. Why on earth would trump save this stuff???

It’s a real deflection and rabbit hole.

None of this stuff is going to age well. There have to be tweets from all the republicans from 2016.

And Trump was the one who got the word out. So, he must be running scared and is trying to whip up everyone to come to his defense. (And even his most ardent supporters must be getting tired of defending him.).

It seems unlikely that this is “just” that he packed up classified docs when he left the White House because then surely he would have just handed them back. Why save classified docs??

They've already retrieved/he's already handed back many boxes of classified docs over the past few months. But apparently there were more that they wanted, or wanted to make sure that he had, or hadn't given away.

The GSA packed boxes marked classified and shipped them to Mar a Lago. Trump did not pack them or order them packed. White House Counsel also didn’t declassify the material in the boxes when Trump told them to (The White House counsel failed to generate the paperwork to change the classification markings) NARA then deliberately identified them as classified to the media, when in truth, the FBI has had access to these documents for months. Remember, the president has unilateral authority to declassify documents — anything in government and he exercised that right. The media then put out to the public that Trump 'stole' classified information to justify a raid on Mar A Lago. That's it in a nutshell. There is documented evidence of GSA packing the boxes and a paper trail showing WH Counsel did not declassify. In addition: NARA is only temporary custodian of a president's old White House archives until all those records are transferred back to president, once his presidential library is built. All the classified papers are returned to the former president. So why were the papers shipped to Mar-A-Lago by GSA in the first place? You can't tell me that the GSA didn't know their job? Please!

You seem to have a lot of knowledge. Where is the source?

+1 Trump famously doesn’t use computers or email.

Defending the guy who tried to kill him. You can’t make this up. WTF is it about Trump that encourages this blind devotion?

Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania? He introduced Trump to Jeffrey Clark and is intimately involved in at least the January 6-related investigation of DOJ and probably the fake electors section of it, too. If you’re implying that he sent out a dumb tweet about the Attorney General and immediately the feds grabbed the phone of a sitting Congressman as a result without proper procedures that would have taken weeks if not months, you can show yourself out.

Probably a mistake

Ironically, the existence of the SCIF at the president’s private club in Palm Beach was first revealed in a White House press briefing on February 14, 2017, to rebut criticism Trump himself had put sensitive discussions at risk.

That criticism was deserved. He was discussing the response to a North Korean missile test with Abe in the middle of a restaurant while people took pictures. He has never had any respect for classified information.

Not a tweet. Filed articles of impeachment against the head of the DOJ, who then turned the FBI on him. I'm sure proper procedures were followed, just like with the FISAs.

My favorite like today was the press secretary stating "Biden found out about the raid at the same time the American people did". Where have we heard that before? Hmm

People do not forget and leave classified materials behind. They are controlled.

There’s zero reporting that anything was in a SCIF. The boxes were in a room in the basement and when officials went in June THEY NEEDED TO ASK HIM TO PUT A PADLOCK ON IT. This in a club that had Chinese spies running around in it.

Again, please leave. There is no possible way you could get a search warrant written, sworn to, filed and approved and that short an amount of time.
