    I'm not sure they can or should disclose all of what was recovered, not if it compromises national security. There's no basis for the opinion of some that the records being sought are minor, but every reason to believe there are some ultra sensitive documents accessible by only a handful of people, literally. For the pubs to go ape is simply political theater. Otherwise, they'd wait and see like the rest of us.

    They should give the public a tally of what was on the warrant AND what was taken. They can do that without revealing “ultra sensitive” information.

    The warrant should be made available now (with redactions), might take some time to go through the documents themselves.

    They are all just commies in waiting... And they think it's going to be good for our country.

    They forgot how it works... millions of innocent people WILL HAVE TO GET murdered for their "utopian" communist fantasy to come true here in the U.S.A., and they don't care about the cost.

    Do they really think people will just give up quietly to communism? NOPE....

    If you remember, the major issue for Clinton was lack of intent. I would say intent to have classified documents is pretty clear if you walk out with the physical documents.

    Good news for you: they charged Clinton's NSA for exactly this. Does that satisfy your need for balance in prosecution or do you need a 2 for 1 because Trump is now in your in-group?

    She just revealed how stupid she is. The clowns aren't even law and order anymore, or would she prefer that cops be allowed to bust into homes and conduct a search without a warrant or exigent circumstances?

    Trump’s attorneys could do the same.

    This is all a false flag by Trump because Desantis was starting to climb in the polls. This has nothing to do with Biden or the Democrats. How much campaign money will Trump raise off of this? Why would he involve the FBI to help his reelection? There is no way the Great American MAGA Patriots fall for this ruse

    how would they even know if he had one paper? Besides that it will NOT keep him from legally running for re-election in 2024. The legal scholars are already out with their legal interpretation of the law regarding his status even if they found misplaced papers.

    Heard on TV from retired Nat Sec type that some of the material that went to Mara-a-lago was so sensitive, it couldn’t be described in even a general sense. FWIW

    Send someone from the archives and show up with a subpoena while Trump was home. IF that fails, threaten to get the DOJ involved. Not that hard. But you knew that. You keep thinking this ends bad for trump. Unfortunately the dems might've just resurrected trumps political career. Congrats.

    So as an update. One good thing is I think I'll be making the 2 1/2 hour trip down to Mar-a-lago either on Thursday or Friday to support Trump.

    It's far past time for Conservatives to stop being so scared of organizing and protesting. Democrats are always going to say we'll be another 1/6 anyway. It's time for Conservatives to show their voice again in a very real way.

    I would also love to see protests outside of the FBI in DC.

    I don’t believe the DOJ intends on making any release, precisely because they don’t want to interfere with elections. That’s why they tried to go in quietly, unannounced and with no press or publicity. Indeed, the only one who released anything to the press was Trump.

    The archives showed up in February. He released some but apparently not all of the documents. They then got the DOJ involved following that event. So they did what you said should be done. So everything good now?

    If you had brain worms, you could easily make the conspiracy theory that Trump's chosen FBI head executed a harmless warrant over some documents, which Trump had full advance knowledge of, which he then tipped off the media portraying it as some kind of "raid" and political persecution. The MAGA chuds and conservatives who say they hate Trump but are anti-anti-Trump also eat it up, because they are just pro-Trump people in denial. Send out a few fundraising emails, and profit!

    Geez ... why is the secret service guarding Mar O Lago while Trump isn't even there? ... Trump is probably still charging them some exorbitant rate to use the rooms, as was widely reported ... this country wastes so much money....

    I really can’t fathom what that could be. Honestly the govt has way too much stuff classified or over classified. What could possibly be so sensitive that just mentioning he took them is in itself a risk.

    Let’s just hypothetically say maximum crazy (this is Trump lol): that he ran off with the nuclear launch codes and military secrets. Even something like that is no longer a risk once the govt is aware and cycles in new codes (as they must do anyway, I would assume). It would only be a security risk if it was unknown/unresolved by the govt. The knowledge he took them wouldn’t in itself be a risk (imo). I guess theoretically if it was something hard like classified assets/locations that couldn’t be changed, the mere knowledge he had documents about them could be a risk (esp if someone otherwise might not have known what they were looking at).
