Haberman (NYT) book: Flushed papers found clogging Trump WH toilet
Axios ^ | Feb10 | Mike Allen

Posted on 02/10/2022 3:10:12 AM PST by RandFan

While President Trump was in office, staff in the White House residence periodically discovered wads of printed paper clogging a toilet — and believed the president had flushed pieces of paper, Maggie Haberman scoops in her forthcoming book, "Confidence Man."

Why it matters: The revelation by Haberman, whose coverage as a New York Times White House correspondent was followed obsessively by Trump, adds a vivid new dimension to his lapses in preserving government documents. Axios was provided an exclusive first look at some of her reporting.

Haberman reports Trump has told people that since leaving office, he has remained in contact with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un — whose "love letters," as Trump once called them, were among documents the National Archives retrieved from Mar-a-Lago.

Zoom out: The news of White House toilet-flushing comes as the National Archives has reportedly asked the Biden Justice Department to examine Trump's handling of White House records, amid the congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol.

Anyone really think he’s remained in contact with Little Kim.

I’d flush papers from the losers in government too. Imagine, everyday, you get a report from That walrus moustache guy about a new war we should start.

He probably did it to send a message. Hey Bolton, I read your report in the john. Can you go get it for me?

A ridiculous article about a ridiculous book. The real question is, why would anyone believe anything Haberman has to say about anything? She is a whore who pays her sources by having sex with them.

I could see Trump deliberately doing this to force the anti-Trump spooks to be fishing in a toilet.

Much like his impromptu press conferences next to the idling Marine One blowing dust in the press’ faces and forcing them to yell to ask him questions and make accusations at him.

Brilliant!

I wonder when maggie’s book about Sandy Berger going into the National Archives and stuffing documents down his pants that were potentially damaging to the Clintons comes out.

Not going to give Axios a click on this but the excerpt tells it all. The White House has sophisticated document elimination mechanisms so this is all total fabricated bull merd. What gets into the so-called minds of these terminal TDS afflicted idiots?

AHA! So that’s what Brandon is doing!
He’s the one flushing docs.
He’s the one in contact with Russia.

To even consider that President Trump would do such a thing is insane! He deals in RE. He knows how plumbing works!

WH doesn’t have a shredder?

Oh no! Trump didn’t preserve documents correctly? You mean like Pelosi ripping up an official document called the State of the Union Address? You mean like that?

And the book about Hillary Clinton’s handling of top secret documents on her home computer and server, and her destruction of computer hard drives and other devices.
