Former President Donald Trump is once again lashing out over special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into his handling of classified documents. This time, though, he didn't call out Smith by name. Trump is dubiously claiming that he possessed empty folders that he considered a "cool keepsake."

"Page 1: The Fake News Media & Crooked Democrats (That's been proven!) keep saying I had a "large number of documents" in order to make the Biden Classified Docs look less significant," he wrote. "When I was in the Oval Office, or elsewhere, & "papers" were distributed to groups of people & me, they would often be in a striped paper folder with "Classified" or "Confidential" or another word on them. When the session was over, they would collect the paper(s), but not the folders, & I saved hundreds of them."

"Page 2: Remember, these were just ordinary, inexpensive folders with various words printed on them, but they were a "cool" keepsake," he continued. "Perhaps the Gestapo took some of these empty folders when they Raided Mar-a-Lago, & counted them as a document, which they are not. It's also possible that the Trump Hating Marxist Thugs in charge will "plant" documents while they're in possession of the material. As President, and based on the Presidential Records Act & Socks Case, I did NOTHING WRONG. JOE DID!"

I'm sure a "page 3" will be coming soon. I guess he needed to take an angry break from rage-posting. The only people that will believe that he only had empty folders, and if something is found, it was planted, will be his die-hard Q-loving supporters. And if that's true, why didn't Lumpy turn over the alleged empty folders when he was repeatedly asked to?
