The photo of the overturned box of folders included ‘Five Eyes’ (FVEY) documents, FVEY is an alliance that includes Canada. From Wiki:
The Five Eyes (FVEY) is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[1] These countries are parties to the multilateral UKUSA Agreement, a treaty for joint cooperation in signals intelligence.[2][3][4]Informally, Five Eyes can also refer to the group of intelligence agencies of these countries.
Nothing new, but Canada’s national news report tonight:

The ugly floor? It will probably be mentioned in court later on . Just to support witness testimony. WTF was a typo. Sorry about that.

IMO it's just TOO much for a bathroom... for any room, really. Then again, I'm not rich and famous so maybe that's how it's done?
Thanks. That makes sense.

Usually spies and foreign agents have to work hard to access top secret files and with limited success, especially those containing restricted military information. But what could possibly be easier than photographing the contents of files stored in the bathroom! It's beyond absurd.

You can safely bet that this opportunity was known and used. The US military has no hope that its restricted information is safe. Neither can any country that has had military alliances with the US.

Australia has been concerned about DT leaking intelligence since 2017.
Our officials are not saying how they are seeing things right at this moment, now that we know that Five Eyes documents were among the classified documents at Mar A Lago.


July 2017
"Australia-US cyber cooperation and Australian security interests are at risk of being undermined by the Trump administration’s unpreparedness to meet the current challenges of cybersecurity. Trump’s fractured relationship with his intelligence community, the Russia cloud which hangs over his presidency and his reputation for leaking sensitive and classified information could prove harmful to Australia’s security interests."

Australian Institute of International Affairs - Trump's Threat to Australia-US Cyber Cooperation


May 2017
The crucial Five Eyes partnership – comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States – is built on trust.
..... the brash Trump is not known for his discretion so foreign allies may need to consider this when sharing secrets with the big-talking real estate mogul.

Can Australia’s spies trust Donald Trump?

BBC weighs in.


Yesterday I was thinking that Americans deserve better and he risked the security of the US for power and money. (imo)

Then I saw that some of the folders on the floor contained security documents from Canada, UK, Australia & New Zealand. We’re your closest ally and he also possibly exposed us to risk.

The most amazing thing to me in the responses to this series of indictments (beyond the whataboutism which seems standard) is that we have elected officials (in any party) who look at issues that deal with national security and rule of law and immediately call it political. These documents have no business in any residence. This man was asked for return of these documents and hid them beyond the first request. This man spoke of military ---MILITARY--- documents and shared their contents with a writer because he had feelings about a military commander. Twenty years ago, an overwhelming majority of both parties would be on the side of holding a person who did this accountable. Country above party? Nah. State secrets get to be determined by individuals? Yeah. I can't figure out why anyone would say this is okay. I can't figure out why politicians are minimizing this. Boggles the mind.

Well I guess we now know what Trump reads in the loo..........
Not to mention anyone who excuses themselves from a social event to use the facilities and read classified documents. I'm sure it wasn't a secret that there were important documents on the property. JMO
