Simple. Its the same reason that they are fairly confident that he didn't read them. It was a big document dump, obviously he has a large number of files and documents in the cell. So it may have taken a few days to search through all those and not only find the classified documents, but inventory what was there to make sure any others didn't slip through.

But of course, such a logical explanation hurts the hyperbole of the anti-everything demagogues, seeking to trash these agencies in every way possible, irregardless of who is actually at fault.
