Maybe Trump pulled a fast one on them.
I can see Trump doing something like this, keep the documents elsewhere but let them think he had them in his office safe.
I can also see them being dumb enough to fall for it.
Perhaps they were told that PDJT kept a certain long form birth certificate, some Ukrainian bank records, and the Rose Law Firm billing records in his safe. In reality, it was just a bag of dog feces with a note saying “Suckers!” taped to it.
Obviously. Orange Man knew there will be constant harassment before he announces, and after.
