Attachment F

[Click for a much larger view.]

The Justice Department knows how to make an argument. And how. Attachment F is this photograph, the last item in the response to the defeated former president’s request for a special master to examine materials taken from Mar-a-Lago. Attachment F follows Attachment E, a certification from a representative of the defeated former president swearing or affirming that “a diligent search” of boxes of materials removed from the White House took place and that “any and all responsive documents” accompany the certification. And then, as Steve Jobs liked to say, one more thing — a photograph of just some of what the FBI found.

This photograph makes me queasy. I can only imagine how someone with any idea of what’s under the cover sheets and what’s on the whited-out pages might feel. But I can guess what’s in those gold frames.
