Remember That Line From "Men In Black"?

About getting the "real news" from the tabloids? I'm starting to feel like that was more than satire.
Really the issue, isn't it?  Not "were they classified/de-classified," or was there a "storage problem," or was the search carried out properly, but:  why were those documents there?  There is, as others have pointed out, no innocent explanation.  Were they bound for Trump's "Library" at "45 Wine and Whiskey"?  He had 18 months of discussions over them, and held onto them for dear life. 

Why?

(And speaking of a "perfect physical specimen.")*


*I'm almost sympathetic there.  I am still well above the weight I should be carrying, but for years, despite mirrors, I convinced myself I wasn't that bad.  Then I saw pictures of myself from my daughter's wedding, and my first thought was:  "Who is that FAT guy?"  I haven't exactly starved myself since, or lost so much weight I could be in a dramatic "Before/After" weight-loss ad.  But I no longer feel like the bloated toad in those pictures. I'm just sympathetic to the idea that, somewhere after 65, you get comfortable in your "pudginess" (as I thought of it).  OTOH, I've never considered myself a "perfect physical specimen."  That Trump is much fatter than he thinks he is, I understand.  That he thinks he's a physical marvel is, frankly, disturbing.  But then, so much of Trump is disturbing.)
