Boxes, little boxes


These are boxes in my basement. How many contain national secrets? 

Here’s the thing I just learned about the Trump boxes at Mar-a-lago, which are in the indictment, of which we have pictures, like above, boxes in the basement, boxes in the bathroom, boxes in the hallway, boxes, boxes, everywhere.  

But I learn from the indictment that the FBI took 120 documents. Assume a single document on average is 5 pages, that’s 600 pages, or just over a ream of paper, 5” high. So all those boxes that the DOJ has put in the indictment? Well, at the very least they can’t all contain documents, because a ream of paper is less than one box worth.
