    I doubt Trump acquired a bunch of documents on Jan 7th like an angry ex decamping her boyfriend's apartment. I think he stashed cool shit away for four years and left with all "his" stuff.

Maybe. It might explain one of the excuses he trotted out, which was "Trump had a standing order to declassify anything he took into his personal residence at the white house, and he didn't even have to tell anyone about it".

But I've also heard "Well things were just so chaotic after the sixth, before he left office, that no one was able to keep track of things like classified documents".

It's probably a bit of both.

All I know is we, the people, deserve to know more. As much as we can without compromising state secrets or compromising geopolitical relationships. I dunno where that line will be, but we ain't up to it yet.
