Uh, President Trump was supposed to be reviewing these documents in these boxes during this time to determine which were privileged, personal, attorney client work product, archives to be returned, etc.
Now where would Trump do this document review? A: Comfortable in his home office in his residence, B: sitting on the floor in the storage closet in the basement spreading documents out around him, C: on the Mar-A-Lago dining room table, involving guests as a game night exercise, or D: out by the pool deck, in between laps to abate the ennui of bureaucratese caused by reading Bull Crat?
Hint, as anyone, absolutely anyone, with a smidge of common business sense knows, it’s not B, C, or D… I’m talking to you dunces in the DOJ, FBI, and the MSM!
Now, would Billionaire Business Tycoon and former President of the United State, at age 76, schlep these boxes of Presidential documents and memorabilia to whichever venue A, B, C, or D, he’s decided use in which to review and sort, or would he ask an employee on his staff to do the heavy lifting schlepping? And, seeing as how these boxes and documents DO contain sensitive data which is supposed to be kept secure, would it not be important to have the movement of those documents kept quiet from those who don’t need to know, especially if they get put back, which is the most likely scenario.
In other words, Trump having an employee move these boxes is absolutely within the scope of what the DOJ requested he must do to comply with their subpoena… it cannot be done without moving them. Their request was they be “safely and securely stored” is incompatible with reviewing them unless those same documents can be moved from storage for review by people authorized to do that task.
No ulterior motives here except in the projection from the mindset of people with Trump Derangement Syndrome who do have ulterior motives.
Q: But these documents are not his, as it was claimed numerous times by a number of people they were planted by DOJ?
This sounds the most plausible.
However, unfortunately, there is one big hole in this.
Because after FBI saw the docs in that location, on 8 June of this year, DOJ then sent a letter to Trump’s lawyer requesting that the storage room be secured, and that “all of the boxes that were moved from the White House to Mar-a-Lago (along with any other items in that room) be preserved in that room in their current condition until farther notice.” If, the movement occurred after that order, and they also have testimony by staff that they moved it, and further that the order came from Trump (as you correctly observe, a 76-year man is not going to do that kind of work with heavy boxes) and furthermore it is on security tape with the time stamps, and/or multiple witnesses (staff) to corroborate, they will likely proceed on Obstruction of Justice here. And OOJ then opens it up to violation of Espionage Act, due to the nature of the docs. If I have the timeline right.
