The DOJ released a more detailed list of recovered items this morning. Where are the contents of those folders?


FBI agents recovered 48 empty folders marked 'CLASSIFIED' during Mar-a-Lago

The Department of Justice (DOJ) revealed on Friday that the FBI recovered 48 empty folders marked "CLASSIFIED" after executing a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago last month.

The revelation was part of a broader inventory of the items recovered by agents, the most detailed yet.

Rumor 1: the theory is that the FBI took the contents because they proved the FBI's criminality or showed the crimes of the current regime.

Rumor 2: The FBI has recovered Obama's Kenya birth certificate (authenticated in Sharpie)

They were "novelty gifts" that he would give out to visitors of his 45 Office if they first made the proper "donation". For a negotiated much larger "donation" they would have something in them.

48 empty classified folders are easy to account for --
1 contained Trump's health plan
1 contained the syllabus for Trump University
1 contained the proof that hydroxychloroquine protects against coronavirus
1 contained the resumes of "only the best people"
1 contained Mexico's check for the border wall
1 contained his middle east peace plan
1 contained the transcripts of his private meeting with Putin
1 contained his improved climate accord
40 contained recordings of every intelligent thing he ever said.

I find this 100% believable.

Does anyone else find it odd that this stuff gets printed out and stored on paper?

Not at all. It’s called “hard copy”, and I’d bet virtually all classified documents anywhere exist in hard copy form.

Lots of classified nothing?

Also a possibility is that these folders were for some of the classified material that had already been recovered back in the beginning of the year. The problem is, how do you match the documents with there folders?
