The thing I can't believe is how long he had theses documents. Surly our foreign adversaries have seen them by now.

[blueocean-mens]

Too bad his lead attorney is going to need an attorney.

[drzaius]

I can’t believe he confessed voluntarily on Trump Social.

[NebraskaGonvilleJones]

So they “took them out of cartons” hey… no Trump representative was with the FBI at the time? So you just admitted to knowingly having these documents then? Seriously this man is just incapable of not lying 🤦🏾‍♀️

[gsandy]

So he knew that the documents were stored in cartons. He needs to stop addressing this as a public relations problem and conform his behavior to that of a person facing serious criminal charges.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse… his cult are in denial or about to have an identity crisis lol

[troybaisden]

How many stories is the Trump team going to put forward? It seems like a new one every week.

[johanan]

When a former president has doubts about America's security service, then what service did he used during his tenure as President?

[kennethadams]

Don’t forget this whole special master appointment issue is just a delaying tactic which is moot and hasn’t a scintilla of weight towards his guilt

[jamesondistillers]

Trumps desperation is so entertaining. I hope someone makes a movie of all of this. "Super Troopers Politician Edition"

[hankterreros]

And the Donald continues to change his lies,

[Mulberrysmile]

Let me translate the Trump response for you…
Whaaaa! Don’t call him the President!
Whaaa! Mom!! They touched my stuff!
Whaaa! They’re being mean!
Whaaaa! It’s not FAIR!
Hope that helps clarify…

[miguelmorales]

I am getting really tired of the news being filled with the criminal acts of Donald Trump. Can't we please just fast forward to the day that he is finally put in prison?

[mr.spears]

this is a total deflection. Hes focused on personal information being swept up? RIGHT. deflection

[reginaromsey]

The Special Master would have to have exceptionally high Clearance and possibly conducted in a SCIF.

[JeffreyGillespie]

This is some seriously insane sh*t right here

[claudiamiller]

Thanks for this excellent reporting! So if for some cosmically bizarre reason the Master is appointed to look over the docs taken from M-A-L…wouldn’t that person have to have a very high level security clearance…based on the content of some of the findings? Who would 45’s “law team” (HAH!) try to wiggle into that position?

[tejanoj]

Why isn't Trump saying why he took or why he needs the government's classified documents? Why didn't he "just comply" like he expects US citizens to do? Wyle E. Coyote, genius.

[markiefufu]

I'm gonna use his reasoning for why they can't investigate or prosecute if I ever find myself on the wrong side of the law. "I'm running for president someday, so you can't charge me!"

[brahmburgers]

Fwump's lawyer Bobb, admitted publicly that she and/or others she worked with at Mar-a-Lago went through the documents to see what they contained. Text & diagrams. That's incriminating to the 10th degree.
