A thread to add classified document discoveries other than original Trump. An attempt to consolidate the other discoveries rather than spawning multiple new threads (Mods??)

No thank you. That is very close to omnibus type thread and we don’t encourage them. The other major ones are already up and running.

> **Keep threads specific and debatable.** No wide omnibus threads. We want to see clear, specific topics and thread titles. Large omnibus threads are actively detrimental to the long-term success of the boards. A thread entitled, “Tax Policy” is too broad. One entitled, “Should a National Sales Tax be enacted” is better. Keep it clear and specific. This also requires participants in the thread to remain on specific topics as well.
