In between the pages of redactions, there are some insights into the types of information that the FPOTUS actively kept away from NARA — in violation of the Presidential Records Act.

I-Me-Mine Documents to misquote a former icon of rock.

The FIFTEEN BOXES Provided to NARA Contain Classified Information 47. From May 16-18, 2022, FBI agents conducted a preliminary review of the FIFTEEN BOXES provided to NARA and identified documents with classification markings in fourteen of the FIFTEEN BOXES. A preliminary triage of the documents with classification markings revealed the following approximate numbers: 184 unique documents bearing classification markings, including 67 documents marked as CONFIDENTIAL, 92 documents marked as SECRET, and 25 documents marked as TOP SECRET. Further, the FBI agents observed markings reflecting the following compartments/dissemination controls: HCS, FISA, ORCON, NOFORN, and SI. Based on my training and experience, I know that documents classified at these levels typically contain NDI. Several of the documents also contained what appears to be FPOTUS's handwritten notes. 48.

Patel alleged that such reports were misleading because FPOTUS had declassified the materials at issue. [Readaction] 54. [Completed Redacted]

And those were among the items the El Cheesimo personally decided to give back, in May of this year.

They were not ALL the Classified Documents — despite the Lawyer filings asserting they were.

Here are what all those the Acronyms mean.

Bottom-line: it’s not good for the former Realty Show boss-man. Given the Documents recovered in August — Documents that they supposedly didn’t have ...

Takeaways from the Mar-a-Lago search warrant affidavit

by Tierney Sneed and Marshall Cohen, CNN — Aug 26, 2022

[...] Alphabet soup shows high sensitivity of docs Trump took from White House The affidavit used a handful of acronyms when describing the sensitivity of the documents that were recovered from Mar-a-Lago earlier in the year. This alphabet soup is probably confusing to most Americans, but national security experts have said it reveals the horrifying scope of this security breach. Some of the classified documents that Trump brought with him from the White House to Mar-a-Lago contained markings for "HCS, FISA, ORCON, NOFORN, and SI," according to the FBI affidavit. "HCS" indicates that the material is about human sources, or spies, that often work with the CIA. "FISA" relates to court-ordered surveillance collecting foreign intelligence, including wiretaps. "ORCON" means the document is so sensitive that its originator must approve any request to share it. "NOFORN" means the material can't be shared with any foreign entities, even allies, without permission. "SI," short for Special Intelligence, relates to signals intercepts, which are typically handled by the National Security Agency. These phrases confirm what many feared -- that the documents that may have been illegally mishandled at Mar-a-Lago contained some of America's most sensitive secrets. [emphasis added]

NDI — National Defense Information. Ooops!

The unanswered questions still remain for records-thief Trump:

• Why did he have classified documents at his home?

• What was he doing with them?

• What was Trump going to do with that Classified Nuclear info [{redacted]?

• Did you think you would never get caught Donald, or is it you just don’t give a hoot about America’s security, in an ever-more dangerous world? Which is it Donald, pick one … or maybe it’s BOTH?

And about that SOL acronym … that Trump is only starting to wake up to — given all the skilled Lawyers who have been rushing to fleeing from his defense ...
