The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Loads' is not equal to 'a small number'.

They didn't quantify it, so you're not allowed to dismiss it.


They did a pretty good job of quantifying. If you make the effort to look.

Trump:
Roughly 300 documents with classification markings
' including some at the top secret level ' have been recovered from Trump since he left office in January 2021.

In January 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration retrieved 15 boxes of documents, telling Justice Department officials they contained 'a lot' of classified material. In August, FBI agents took about 33 boxes and containers of 11,000 documents from Mar-a-Lago, including roughly 100 with classification markings found in a storage room and an office. And remember that Trump's stuff was all over the place, often not secured, moved from one place to another, often sitting in easily accessible areas, etc.

Biden:
The approximately 10 documents marked classified and discovered at the Penn Biden Center
were discovered in a locked closet. A "small number" of documents were found in his garage storage space, and "a total of six pages of classified documents were found during a search at Biden's home."

So for Biden....who cooperated fully once the first items were inadevertently discovered....that's 16 plus the small number that were in the garage. And for Trump, it was thousands and thousands of documents that included over 300 that were classified, and he resisted and lied all the way along.
