From the nation's finest news source… Trump Boys Thrilled FBI Seized Documents, Leaving Dozens Of Empty Boxes To Play In
Two things. First, if you have had a security clearance you will know that the clearance and information are treated very seriously. You KNOW “this shit is real.” Second, people can die because of security breaches. Anybody who blows this off is an idiot. Those who violate their obligations should be in jail.
Merrick Garland calls Trump’s bluff - POLITICO On Thursday, the Justice Department responded to the deluge with a simple “OK.” Then, just before midnight, Trump — who has had a copy of the search warrant since Monday — announced he too supported the release, all but ensuring it is likely to be revealed as soon as Friday. “Not only will I not oppose the release of documents related to the unAmerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid and break-in of my home in Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago, I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents,” Trump said in a late-night post on his social media site, Truth Social. Looks like we will have a pretty eventful Friday
He never committed a crime as President, nor as a Florida resident, so why the illegal search ans seizure? Tell me how many times this man can be accused of some made up BS? These clowns think they are above the law.
The word is jurisdiction. The Feds have it in this case. The State of Florida does not. The Feds have evidence that Trump has committed the crime of stealing Fed property, including potentially very sensitive, top secret documents. And Trump was holding these docs at his Mar a Lago home. Enough evidence, that the Feds got a legal warrant, signed by a judge, and legally entered Mar a Lago, and legally seized property that didn't belong to Trump. We'll potentially find out more tomorrow, if Trump actually agrees to the release of the warrant and seizure list.
cool for him, but the issue is not the release of related documents, but the release of the warrant itself. “Related documents” in Trump’s mind probably includes the alleged top secret docs he was hiding and the affidavit(s) that supported the warrants. IMO both would require heavy redactions. He’s just setting up his complaints about what info can lawfully be released.
Trump has been afforded the ultimate white privilege. Obama had to be so calculated in every word he uttered, due to being a black president. Trump says anything he wants, lies thousands of times, acts antithetical to all the ways we learned to be a good person in society, and people love and adore him for it.
Brian Kilmeade on Trump Mar-a-Lago raid: Garland weaponized federal law enforcement | Fox News BRIAN KILMEADE: Garland's admission was not a surprise. After all, this is the man who, spearheading the most wide-ranging investigation in the department's history with the January 6 probe—I don't know if you've noticed — this is the same Merrick Garland who used the Department of Justice and the FBI to target parents as domestic terrorists, which we know they are for exercising their right to free speech at school board meetings, which we televised a lot of it and play it back, even more of it. So, Merrick Garland is not a man interested in protecting Americans or ensuring equal justice. What we saw today was a man on the defensive (at least I did) a man desperate to save face because, in the words of one senior Justice Department official, the raid was, "a spectacular backfire." No joke.
Trump Lawyer: Garland's Depiction of Mar-a-Lago Events Inaccurate | Newsmax.com Attorney General Merrick Garland's claims that former President Donald Trump's attorneys were provided with copies of the search warrant and property receipt and that the attorneys were on-site during the FBI search are untrue, Trump lawyer Alina Habba told Newsmax. When Trump's legal team in Florida first came on the premises of Mar-a-Lago on Monday during the surprise raid, they were not given the warrants, Habba told "Rob Schmitt Tonight" guest host Carl Higbie. "They asked for a copy. They wouldn't hand it to them," she said. "And if anything was given to them, it was not until after the search."
Maybe one of the lawyers here can explain, but my reading of the statute is that the officer serving the warrant needs to bring back the original to the magistrate. The copy of the warrant (ex electronically) can be issued to the individual — possibly directly to former President Trump. A copy of the warrant does not need to be provided to the lawyers on the ground? So, does her comments just mean the Trump Lawyers on the ground didn’t get a copy by former President Trump in fact did? If so, isn’t her comment misleading?
From Reddit (big grain of salt: Basically - trump took 50 boxes from the White House - against his lawyer's advice. The National Archives discovered this. So they went down to Florida and asked for the 50 boxes back. Trump gave them half of the boxes and pretended that was 100% of it. Then trump started Selling the Top Secret documents to China, and Saudi Arabia. Russia already knows all that shit. Mark Meadows was the National Archives Officer for the White House; it's his legal duty to retain Presidential documents - so Mark Meadows is also on the hook for the documents. Mark Meadows likely testified to a Federal Grand Jury. Meadows is either the informant or a coconspirator. But more likely just a witness. The grand jury requested the search warrant. The informant was a witness to the safe, in particular and the boxes of documents in general. The informant could be Meadows, Kushner, or a random Secret Service Agent or a staffer we don't know about- like how Cassidy Hutchinson was. So now - they have recovered the other half of the boxes - but they are missing the controlled documents that Trump Sold. But they know what's supposed to be in there. They know what's missing. And they know who Trump met with at his golf course and by his security cameras. And they got him red handed. That's what's up. They moved on him like a bitch because this is an espionage product investigation. Like - the golf ⛳️ tournament- lol. Ok? They sold tickets for 1 dollar. There was 500 fans in attendance. And the endorsement deals were hundreds of millions of dollars? That's not a business model. That's a money laundering scheme for nuclear weapons.
Sometimes I wonder just how simple one has to craft a response for you to understand it. 2nd grade level? Kindergarten? When a crime is suspected, law enforcement seeks out evidence. The justice system doesn't get a conviction and then search out the evidence to support it. Try watching an episode of Law & Order and reporting back when this concept is clearer in your head.
FYI, in case Trump tries to play the "I declassified this stuff" card, nuclear secrets are considered National Defense Information or NDI. The Rosenbergs were executed for what they did with NDI material.
All I can say is this is coming to an anticipated crescendo. If one side gets a LOT of stink then at least we have moved the ball forward a bit. If it turns out to be another "House-mandated demand for everything UFO" then this is all a bunch of silly blather and no one is going to lose their job (at the elite level). Methinks it is going to be the latter, and then comes all the calls for campaign finance monies from all sides. It is going to be "Shock and Awe," but in a VERY tragic way. We shall see shortly.
I’m not sure why physical docs exist at all. Perhaps we’ve come full circle and physical docs are easier to protect/move anonymously than digital ones.
