FBI Executed a Warrant at Mar a Lago; the Investigation Continues

Apparently trump kept obstructing the archive people and was belligerent towards requests for him to turn the documents over. Who among us would have a hard time believing that kind of attitude from trump? (ever closer to p136 - I'm popping with excitement)

Some material recovered in the search is considered extraordinarily sensitive, two people familiar with the search said, because it could reveal carefully guarded secrets about U.S. intelligence-gathering methods. One of them said the information is “among the most sensitive secrets we hold.”

This account of Trump’s effort to keep the FBI from reviewing the classified material is drawn from newly released correspondence and court filings, as well the recollections of multiple people with direct knowledge of the investigation or who were briefed on events. Many of them spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the ongoing criminal probe.

In a legal filing on Monday, Trump’s lawyers insisted that he had been cooperating with Justice Department requests. In fact, however, the narrative they laid out, as well as other documents and interviews, show that Trump ignored multiple opportunities to quietly resolve the FBI concerns by handing over all classified material in his possession — including a grand jury subpoena that Trump’s team accepted May 11. Again and again, he reacted with a familiar mix of obstinance and outrage, causing some in his orbit to fear he was essentially daring the FBI to come after him.

In a May 10 letter to Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran that was released Tuesday, acting archivist Debra Steidel Wall outlined weeks of resistance that followed the April 12 email. Trump tried to delay and thwart the FBI’s review of the records he had turned over to the Archives in January, Steidel Wall wrote, despite a finding by the Justice Department that the records included 100 classified documents comprising 700 pages of material, some of it extraordinarily sensitive information related to secret operations and programs with very limited access, on a need-to-know basis.

 

So has the noose finally tightened?

 

This is pure speculation from a white collar crimes prosecutor on Twitter but it sure would explain a lot regarding Trump's panic motivation here if true. And no, I don't know how to link a Tweet here:

@delavegalaw These are all things I suspect may be discovered among the boxes seized from MAL:

Missing pages, blank filler pages, multiple copies of some documents to hide the absence of other ones, documents out of order, entire files missing, irrelevant documents inserted as filler.

 

just paste the url for that tweet and it imbeds automatically.

 

So a fair chance some of that material fell into the wrong hands already. The apologists will shrug at that too if it turns out to be the case.

 

I post here on a laptop and I scroll Twitter on my phone.

 

The moment those names come out the maga mob will be on them like flies on shit.

 

He can ask all he wants but it ain't gonna happen!

 

So now we have learned from the news that Giuliani had a bungalow connected to MAL by an underground tunnel that it is also connected to THE SEA by another tunnel.

Back a boat up, take some classified docs to god knows where and copy them and return them with no one above ground being the wiser about it.

 

The tunnel thing is weird, but no one knew they had these documents, so I assume they could have just walked in and out in with briefcases full of the documents without anyone noticing if they so desired.

 

Except there are active cameras everywhere above ground.

 

So you're gloating because a former president almost certainly guilty of multiple crimes has yet to be prosecuted? Got it and I always thought that conservatives believed in the rule of law. I guess there is an exception for the Orange One.

 

Be patient. trump has only now finished putting the noose on his own neck.

 

Can still do it. Hit the up arrow thing, copy the url, come to GC , hit the chain looking thing and past the URL in the blank. Should do it.

 

Don't expect any movement before November. The DOJ has a standing policy of not doing anything that could potentially alter elections 90 days before said election. The MAR raid was 92 days out of the November election. We're currently within the 90 day window now. Patience is certainly required.

 

Everybody talks about Q being the conspiracy theorists but I ain't seen nothin like the stories that have come from the left.
