“’They were the boxes that were in the indictment, the white bankers boxes. That’s what I remember loading,’ Butler told CNN in an on-camera interview.”

And he knew this how????

[struggle]

Pressure move by the prosecutor. Won’t work.

[Rocky Mountain Wild Turkey]

And the super-duper majority of American people say ....

"YAWN!!!"

[escapefromboston]

None of the documents were classified

SOMEBODY is looking for 15 minutes and some payola for qwapola. stabackers be everywhere.

I seem to remember a picture where on the day Trump left the White House there were boxes that had been piled up on the driveway by the presidential records people. They abandoned the boxes that had classified documents in them and left it up to Trump’s staff to move them.

[Prince of Space]

Boy, they got him now! 🤣

[Fai Mao]

And the fact that the documents were moved is not in question. Only whether it was legal to do so.

All it took was a wave of the hand from the prosecutions consultant.

Smith: Mr. Butler, did you load some white banker boxes onto Mr. Trumps jet on or about June 2022.

Butler: Yes I did.

Smith: Mr. Butler, what was inside the boxes.

Butler: I don’t know. I just loaded the boxes, I didn’t look inside them.

[Honest Nigerian]

Those boxes?
Weren’t they the ones that had to go back?
To Biden’s garage?
How in the world does anyone know what is in a box, unless they are the one/s who put it in the box?

[WKUHilltopper]

How’d he know what was in them??

[Jim from C-Town]

If they were in boxes, how did he know what was in them & if they were classified?

so what. and that hurts anybody how ?

Tell first how Archives refused to help in the move from the WH...Then clarifies 3 months later when caught.

NARA General Counsel Gary M. Stern clarified a response that he had given during his January 31, 2023, interview with the Committee:

I stated at the interview that it was my recollection that NARA had not provided such assistance.

Following the interview, I checked with my colleagues, and I was informed that, in fact, NARA did send staff members to the White House in the final weeks of the Trump Administration to assist with the move of the physical records (including artifacts), in coordination with the DOD team that NARA employed to transport the records from the White House complex to the National Archives. It is my understanding that this support was logistical in nature and did not involve providing records management guidance. In addition, NARA staff provided on-site transition support to the National Security Council. (The transfer of the electronic records was done by a different process that did not necessitate NARA staff to be onsite.)

Read it well. The NARA team didn't do the move, they hired DOD team to do the move. The bold is NARA's get out of jail free card. This whole process left Pres. Trump's ass hanging in the wind. These people really stink

[Petrosius]

I have many banker boxes that I have used in multiple moves. As far as I know, there is nothing classified in them.

[elpadre]

Is there a violation of law in moving boxes of documents from the WH to wherever POTUS chooses?? Isn’t he entitled to keep documents he wants?? What is newsworthy about this story?

[Colorado Doug]

I wonder how much he was paid to try to make a big deal about these non-descript boxes.

[redcatcherb412]

UNWITTINGLY explains it all, otherwise, witless.

[PGR88]

So what? They were Trump’s Presidential documents.
