McCarthy suggested it was OK for the former president to keep potentially sensitive documents in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom because "a bathroom door locks."

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) attempted to slam a lid on the controversy of former President Donald Trump allegedly keeping sensitive documents in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.

However, many Twitter users thought the excuse was a bunch of crap.

....................

The documents were allegedly moved to the restroom in April 2021 at Trump’s request.

Although many people were shocked at the idea of the former leader of the free world allegedly storing classified documents next to a toilet, McCarthy offered a dubious defense on Monday.

..........

................Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told CNN he was a little puzzled at McCarthy’s line of argument.

“Well, it’s the first I’ve seen that particular defense, but is he suggesting that these boxes of classified documents got up and locked the door after people left the bathroom?” Raskin chuckled. “I’m not quite sure I follow the logic of it.”................................................................................

1. Um, Kevin? Bathroom doors lock *from the inside.*

I suppose TFG could push the button in and pull the door closed, but then he can't get back in to look at his Precioussss or sell them to the Saudis. Or is he just going to lock himself in there?

2. That was a large load for McCarthy to drop. Hopefully, the backspash from it will be immense.

3. Gimme a toothpick and 2 seconds

1 second if I have to pee.

Besides that, who locks a bathroom when it is not in use? Far too many people had access to it, for a key to be needed.

[we can do it]

4. Crappy...haha

5. I'm sure that a bathroom lock meets all the requirements for maintaining the

security of SCI information. Right, Kev?
