And this, my friend, is why people laugh at us. A simple hand off of a flash drive would have been much much simpler. Putting it in a soccer ball makes absolutely zero sense and would at about 10 extra steps to what doesn't even need any secrecy if done in private. Sometimes the simplest answer is the right answer. Not every single thing President Trump did was some kind of super Q conspiracy. Every time he drank a diet Coke wasn't a super secret mission and a simple presser where they hand over a ball isn't either. It was a mundane action that meant hardly anything other than what it appeared to be.
