For anyone thinking it was a few boxes, or just a few boxes, this is masses and masses of stuff. Unbelievable!

While the number of files is important for the scale of the operation, keep in mind that what makes it illegal is deliberately withholding the documents and lying about returning them all that he is being charged with. The crime is trying to keep them when asked to return them and deceiving federal agencies, not just taking the files themselves

It's one thing to have a couple files misplaced within your stuff when leaving the White House but this is ridiculous. He definitely had all this to sell to other countries.

Very much stolen to be used to curry favor with foreign powers in order to make some money. I'd be willing to bet my life on it.

I'm just in awe that it keeps getting worse for him every minute. Looks like a slam dunk case.

The indictment is fucking out of this world. He needs to be in custody.

I can only hope.

I mean, if you are going to commit treason you may as well go big or go home.

I'm willing to bet there is a lot more at other locations. This looks like a general dump. Anyone with this kind of hord is going to keep their best stuff in special places.

That's an odd place for a pipe. Any chance that's the pipe that was draining the pool that "accidentally" flooded the surveillance video server room?
