If Biden was serious about uniting the country he would invite Trump to the funereal. 

Why doesn't Biden want to unite America?  

He's telling us, yet again, that he hates 70 million Americans.  He's a traitor.

"Trump and people around Trump believe he had some sort of special connection to the queen," she replied. "There's, for some reason, some expectation around people close to Trump that he should be getting an invitation. He fancied himself as having some kind of close relationship with her. A former aide to Trump told me, 'No, the queen really liked him.'"

so delusional. 

this mfer really, really thought he was going to get invited to the funeral? lmao.

i guess the royal family did not want to be regaled with tales of his huge and stunning electoral college victory and how he has been treated more poorly than anybody who has ever lived.

in short, they probably felt like he was going to make the funeral all about himself, like he has done with everything else his entire life.

For Donald Trump, Information Has Always Been Power

People have wondered why the former president collected classified intel, speculating that he is just a packrat. But he has a long history of gathering and wielding sensitive info to help himself.

Ever since the FBI came out of Mar-a-Lago last month with box after box of documents, some of them highly sensitive and classified, questions have wafted over the criminal investigation: Why did former President Donald Trump sneak off with the stash to begin with? Why did he keep it when he was asked to return it? And what, if anything, did he plan to do with them?

those docs are scattered all over the place...

Donald Trump Mar-a-Lago Subpoenas Government and politics

Judge unseals additional portions of Mar-a-Lago affidavit

By ERIC TUCKER

Yesterday

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge Tuesday unsealed additional portions of an FBI affidavit laying out the basis for a search of former President Donald Trump's Florida home, showing that agents earlier obtained a hard drive after issuing a subpoena for surveillance footage recorded inside Mar-a-Lago.

A heavily redacted version of the affidavit was made public last month, but the Justice Department requested permission to show more of it after lawyers for Trump revealed the existence of a June grand jury subpoena that sought video footage from cameras in the vicinity of the Mar-a-Lago storage room.

“Because those aspects of the grand jury’s investigation have now been publicly revealed, there is no longer any reason to keep them sealed (i.e. redacted) in the filings in this matter,” department lawyers wrote.

The newly visible portions of the FBI agent’s affidavit show that the FBI on June 24 subpoenaed for the footage after a visit weeks earlier to Mar-a-Lago in which agents observed 50 to 55 boxes of records in the storage room at the property. The Trump Organization provided a hard drive on July 6 in response to the subpoena, the affidavit says.

The footage could be an important piece of the investigation, including as agents evaluate whether anyone has sought to obstruct the probe. The Justice Department has said in a separate filing that it has “developed evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the Storage Room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation.”

What's left as Jan. 6 panel sprints to year-end finish

Panel: Archives still not certain it has all Trump records

The Justice Department has been investigating the holding of top-secret information and other classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House. FBI agents during their Aug. 8 search of the home and club said they recovered more than 11,000 documents and 1,800 other items, including roughly 100 with classification markings.

Separately Tuesday, the Justice Department again urged U.S. District Aileen Cannon to lift her hold on core aspects of the investigation. Cannon last week granted the Trump team's request for an independent arbiter to review the seized documents and weed out from the investigation any records that may be covered by claims of executive or attorney-client privilege.

She also ordered the department to halt its review of the records pending any further court order or the completion of a review by the yet-to-be-named special master. The department urged Cannon last week to put her order on hold and told the judge Tuesday that its investigation would be harmed by a continued delay of its ability to scrutinize the classified documents.

“The government and the public unquestionably have an interest in the timely enforcement of criminal laws, particularly those involving the protection of highly sensitive information, and especially where, as here, there may have been efforts to obstruct its investigation,” the lawyers wrote.

The Trump team on Monday urged the judge to leave her order in place. His lawyers raised questions about the documents' current classification status and noted that a president has absolute authority to declassify information, though they pointedly did not say that Trump had actually declassified anything.

This is just a fishing expedition and a witch hunt splitting hairs about (confidential government) document storage and tfg's efforts to obstruct the investigation into where and how those (confidential government) documents were stored.

Who cares if he wasn't supposed to keep them, and lied about having them, and showed them to god knows who and knowingly obstructed the investigation?

He probably just wanted them for reading, or forgot he had them, or declassified them, or the FBI planted them, or he's just a pack rat. 

Where and when does the DOJ's tyranny end?

The trip to VA/DC the other day is definitely odd....not trying to push conspiracy crap but it sure looked like tRump was just getting his cronies away from any possible hidden microphones to discuss how to get out of his mess and coordinate their stories.

Well the picture I saw he had his turf director for the course with him.  I don't think they would have him there if that was the case.

Yeah, I saw a lot of people making a big deal about that, and all I could wonder was "could there be any other plausible explanation?", to which there is / was. 

Gern, this isn't a shot at you, it did seem odd / suspicious. 



But otoh, as someone pointed out... Eric was there... he's not bringing that dummy to any top secret meetings.

Plus, they might not be great at a lot of things but I am sure they are quite good at having potentially incriminating conversations and less obvious settings.

gimmesometruth27

i have a plausible explanation.

maybe one of them ordered crispy fried onions with breakfast and they ended up getting to the first tee box late and ended up playing behind a guy named norm who is known to be the slowest golfer in america. norm would not allow them to play through. an argument ensued so trump and his group left the course but norm dropped dead of a heart attack. they decided to play the course again the next day when other members did not play in honor of, and out of respect for norm. they accidently killed the black swan during that round. the picture was taken as all of them were coordinating their story, as the black swan, kyoko, was the pet of mr. takahashi, the real owner of the golf club. they knew that mr. takahashi would ban them from the club for life if he found out they killed kyoko.

Donald Trump Mar-a-Lago Congress Government and politics

Panel: Archives still not certain it has all Trump records

By FARNOUSH AMIRI

Yesterday

WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Archives is still not certain that it has custody of all Donald Trump's presidential records even after the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago club, a congressional committee said in a letter Tuesday.

The House Committee on Oversight and Reform revealed that staff at the Archives on an Aug. 24 call could not provide assurances that they have all of Trump's presidential records. The committee in the letter asked the Archives to conduct an assessment of whether any Trump records remain unaccounted for and potentially in his possession.

“In light of revelations that Mr. Trump’s representatives misled investigators about his continued possession of government property and that material found at his club included dozens of ‘empty folders’ for classified material, I am deeply concerned that sensitive presidential records may remain out of the control and custody of the U.S. Government,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., the chairwoman of the Oversight Committee, wrote in the letter.

The House committee has jurisdiction over the Presidential Records Act, a 1978 law that requires the preservation of White House documents as property of the U.S. government. The request is the latest development in a monthslong back-and-forth between the agency and the committee, which has been investigating Trump's handling of records.

The request also comes weeks after the FBI recovered more than 100 documents with classified markings and even more than 10,000 other government documents from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. The search came after lawyers for Trump provided a sworn certification that all government records had been returned.

Maloney and other Democratic lawmakers on the panel have been seeking a briefing from the National Archives, but haven't received one due to the Justice Department's ongoing criminal investigation into the matter.

But the letter notes a call between Archives staff and the committee on Aug. 24, where lawmakers were informed that documents could still be missing.

As a result, Maloney wrote, the committee is asking the agency to conduct an “urgent review” of all of the government records that have been recorded from the Trump White House to determine whether any additional records remain unaccounted for and potentially in the possession of the former president.

In addition, the committee also asked for the Archives to get a personal certification from Trump “that he has surrendered all presidential records that he illegally removed from the White House after leaving office.”

The committee is asking the Archives to provide an initial assessment of this review by Sept. 27.
