Trump Insecurely Stored SCI and SAP Documents at Mar-a-Lago
June 11th, 2023I was reading through the Trump indictment and found that he had held on to documents marked sensitive compartmented information (SCI), and special access program (SAP). See page 20:
When the 15 boxes that TRUMP had provided reached NARA in January 2022, NARA reviewed the contents and determined that 14 of the boxes contained documents with classification markings. Specifically, as the FBI later determined, the boxes contained 197 documents with classification markings, of which 98 were marked “SECRET,” 30 were marked “TOP SECRET,” and the remainder were marked “CONFIDENTIAL.” Some of those documents also contained SCI and SAP markings.
Could someone with knowledge TS/SCI and SAP document access explain to me how Trump was able to hold on to those materials? My understanding is that those materials are only to be handled in a SCIF:
The federal government requires the SCI be processed, stored, used or discussed in a Sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF).
If that’s correct, how did Trump physically obtain the documents?
Wouldn’t the SCI and SAP materials need to be physically accounted for after use in a SCIF?

Don’t know about the SCI/SAP classifications, but there’s a guy that goes by the name Sundance who has done a lot of deep dives on the Trump/classified documents subject.
“There is a big difference between a classified document and a document containing classified markings. As an example, anyone who has looked at the Carter Page FISA application, made public in July 2018, has reviewed a document containing “classified markings.” When a document is declassified, they do not remove the markings.”:

Trump’s lawyers forced to resign through the use of lawfare:

Here’s the fake justification for the indictment, partly laid out by the former Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Devin Nunes–lawfare word games:

The “final battle” language President Trump used at the recent North Carolina rally is next level, at minute 1:29:30–
“We are a failing nation. We are a nation in decline. And now these radical left lunatics want to interfere with our elections by using law enforcement. It’s totally corrupt and we can’t let it happen,” Trump told the crowd.
“This is the final battle,” he further urged, adding “With you at my side, we will demolish the Deep State, we will expel the warmongers from our government, we will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the communists, we will throw off the sick political class that hates our country.”
Trump continued, “We will roll out the fake news media, we will expose the RINOs for what they are, we will defeat Joe Biden and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all.”
