Documents found include “NOFORN” and “ORCON” classifications.
ORCON – Stands for "Originator Control ," which gives the office which has classified the briefing the control over its dissemination.
Also, the statement of NOFORN (meaning “no foreign nationals”) is applied to any information that may not be released to any non-U.S. citizen. NOFORN and distribution statements are often used in conjunction with classified information or alone on SBU information .

Repeating this NYT clip from the other thread. Looks like Trump removed classified pages from their identifying cover sheet:

The affidavit lays out a timeline starting with a criminal referral by the National Archives on Feb. 9, 2022, after it retrieved 15 boxes from Mar-a-Lago. The affidavit quotes the referral as indicating that the boxes contained “newspapers, magazines, printed news articles, photos, miscellaneous print-outs, notes, presidential correspondence, personal and post-presidential records and ‘a lot of classified records.’ Of most significant concern was that highly classified records were unfoldered, intermixed with other records, and otherwise unproperly [sic] identified.”

“suspected Trump of hiding intelligence information relating to signals collection, human sources, and other top secret information.”
Release of this information gets people killed. Forget the book, throw the entire library at the Large Orange Buffoon.

The title says it all!
Here’s the affidavit used to search the home and resort of the 45th President of the United States for classified documents he refused to return. My live tweet is here. I’ll do running updates in this thread. Here’s my earlier post on what the affidavit would include which accurately predicated a great deal of what was in here.

Next repub talking point - Treason in the defense of tyranny is not a crime.
(And I understand his actions don’t meet the legal definition of treason but I’m going with the ‘man on the street’ understanding of the concept. Even old school conservative r’s will see it that way.)

Trump removed classified pages from their identifying cover sheet?! Holy crap
It never fails to surprise me that Trump is even worse than I could possibly imagine.
He’s not going to escape this time.

It’s like it was the Large Orange Buffoon’s last day at the office and just cleaned out his desk. Top-Secret documents “intermixed” with all the other junk in his drawers? HOLY SHIT.
