Commentary

On Monday, August 8, 2022 the news broke that the FBI had served a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. Since then we've been racking our brains to think of items the FBI may have collected, with a focus on funny, made up items rather than the as-yet-unknown real items.

With so much imaginary material to choose from, how did we approach this funny top ten list of satirical items seized in the Mar-a-Lago raid? Of course, one theme was the "nothing to see here, folks" idea that was circulated by the Trump camp. Think: paper clips, presidential schedules, and conjealed air (item 10). Other satirical themes are valuable/collectible mementos (items 9, 7, and 5), riffs on declassification procedures (item 1), and the obligatory cryptic reference to a TV show from the 1970s (item 3).
