Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
There have been people on this forum stating the Top Secret Documents weren't really THAT secret ,its just a term yada yada

the DOJ said otherwise:
The filing added that some of the seized materials were so sensitive that FBI personnel and DOJ attorneys “required additional clearances before they were permitted to review certain documents.”

Walter Shaub, the former director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, summarized the significance of this in an important and straightforward sentence: “If the FBI found these documents in your home, you would go to jail.”

Making matters just a bit worse, the Justice Department went on to note in its filing that more than 100 unique classified documents were seized from Mar-a-Lago — including three classified documents found in desks inside Trump’s office.

Again, we wouldn’t know any of this if the former president’s lawyers didn’t make an odd request for a special master. Their strategy created conditions that made their client look worse.
Seriously, you need medication

looks like Trump's lawyers may have stepped on their dicks with the latest filing

Andrew Weissman, a longtime Justice Department veteran and an MSNBC legal analyst, wrote overnight that the Team Trump filings that led to these new disclosures were “a huge misstep.” Weissman added that the Justice Department used its latest response “to disclose damning proof of a series of crimes, which it would not otherwise have been able to do.”

Quite right. Federal law enforcement knew it had his damning evidence of alleged crimes at Mar-a-Lago, but at this point in the investigation, it couldn’t share any of this information publicly. But thanks to Team Trump and its infinite wisdom, the Republican and his attorneys effectively forced the Justice Department’s hand, insisting that federal officials make their case to a judge.

And what a case it is. The Justice Department’s filing, for example, argues that it gathered evidence “that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation,” with government records “likely concealed and removed” before the FBI’s search.

The implication seems to be that, as far as investigators are concerned, as Trump came to believe officials really did expect the return of the materials the former president took, he and his team may have taken deliberate steps to hide them.

Having a secret or top secret clearance doesn't mean you automatically get access to anything marked that. There's the "need to know" basis on how things are accessed. The idea that sensitive information is much more secure if limited to only those who need to know it. But the president has ultimate power in determining whether a document should remain restricted or given wider access.

This is simply further prrof that Trump isa thief and has badly compromised the security if the USA. Trump himself signed alaw that strengthened the penalty for mishandling of classified documents. I dont really care what the Cult thinks as we are a Nation of Laws
