@dflower

Why did he take these documents? To what advantage is it to have the originals?

There is a whole other thread on that subject:

Why is trump keeping classified documents-- for what purpose does he want them?

There’s some discussion of his reasons in the "FBI Search and Seizure’ thread, but that thread is so large and covers so much I thought that this subject might warrant its own thread. So my understanding is that trump didn’t run off with boxes of classified docs when he finally left the White House for the last time, he already had the documents at Mar-A-Lago because it had been designated a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) when trump was President and Mar-A-Lago was basicall…

You’re probably better off posting that there. But either way, welcome back!
