Life is a series of if-then questions.
If Donald Trump showed no interest in top-secret briefings while he was president, then why did he take dozens of boxes filled with such documents with him when he left the White House?
If he had no use for them at that time, then why did he stall when asked to return them?
If he could declassify them as president at the time, then why didn't he?
If he personally did not carry the boxes from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago residence, then who did?
If the material is fake, as he now alleges, then why didn't he say so a long time ago, when the FBI asked for their return?
If the stuff really is fake, then why did a federal judge approve a search warrant?
If the stuff is fake, then why didn't he say so sooner, even as he fought repeated requests that the documents be returned?
If he was cooperating fully with the FBI, as he now claims, then why the need for a search warrant?
If he was asked months ago to return the stuff that he now says was fake, then why didn't he, especially if he knew the stuff was fake and planted?
If he didn't know at that time what the stuff was, then that could be taken as evidence of his ignorance.
If he didn't know what the stuff was, then why did he go to the trouble of taking it with him when he left the White House?
If he didn't know at the time that top secret stuff was being taken from the White House to a private residence, then who did, and why are they not being prosecuted?
All these and many other questions remain for investigators to search for answers.
Meanwhile, rather than cooperate with investigating authorities, Trump acolytes are pointing fingers at others as they deny involvement in a major national security issue.
