Unless these were handwritten documents, there is no doubt a copy on someone’s hard drive or server.
Or did they go back to 1972 and everyone was issued a typewriter?

So - you’re saying he didn’t violate the presidential records act and isn’t exactly like Ralph Wiggam because he ate something else that was inedible?
There’s no value in the original signed documents, they don’t have legal effect because they’re signed, you know these purported copies exist for all documents and that they haven’t been edited after destruction and he did this out of the goodness of his heart?

Shredded by his bowels I suppose, since we’re also told he chewed up such papers.
Did anyone ask him how many flushes it took?
It’s OK, he already told us. 13 or 14.
So this is why he he was so fixated about toilets on the campaign trail. He kept saying that people have to flush 10 or 15 times. I thought it was just hyperbole. /s
I just want to remind everyone that he’s such an expert on the building trades because of his many years in real estate, yet he doesn’t even know what every toddler learns before preschool: you can’t flush most things down a toilet…and shouldn’t even try.
We learned the expensive way that the core of a toilet paper roll does not flush, but also will not come up or pass down no matter how hard you try to plunge the toilet. That was a good toilet, too.
And your child never made that mistake again, did they?!
We had a mild freakout when we realized what happened, but he wasn’t punished for it. But nope, never tried to flush anything weird again. Plenty of other mistakes, though.
