The suggestion that tfg can just claim he thought he was allowed to keep the docs he was told repeatedly he had to return and then claimed he didn't have is beyond laughable.

That was why I asked how closely he was paying attention to the story.

Because he is Trump and has a lifetime of support to show that he gets away with everything and when he is caught with his hand in the cookie jar usually walks away with a fraction of the penalty that he should get. I agree that if all of this evidence was coming out against anyone but a former president or other protected high level government official it would be an open and shut case. I'm not denying that this isn't enough to bring 99.9% of citizens to justice, Trump has a habit of manipulating that .1% in his favor.

Sure he might walk. Absolute possibility. We were specifically talking about your reason for him walking. Telling a judge and jury he thought the documents were his, after he was told repeatedly they were not his and to return them, is what is laughable.

After the new facts that Role Models has brought to light, I am not sure that either of us know what is 'really' going on. Looks like Durham may just have us actin the fool.

Unsurprisingly the supporters of the left fell for this as well. They’ll never learn, and their blind hope continues to unravel them.

this was an FBI attempt to take back the incriminating crossfire hurricane documents he has in his possession before they hit the public. If there was anything here, it would have already been leaked. That is the way the demon rats work, they leak things to their aiding press to drum up public support before anything else. No leaks? No truth.

-judge who ok’d this was not only Epstein’s attorney (gross) but a big donor to the dems
-they already took his passports, denied it, then were shown the receipts
-they just admitted to taking docs with lawyer confidentiality.

I’m sure you all know, but Obama was given the right to scan all the files he took with him before returning them. This was apparently a huge quantity. Bush still has thousands of unreturned docs in his possession. The LBJ library contains piles of docs requested by never returned to Capitol Hill. This is a normal occurrence for former presidents to take, yet they’re shaking in their pants over the release of more incriminating evidence of the gov’t’s own illegal bias and unwarranted spying. This once again comes down to the swamp, and those in power afraid of an outsider with nothing to lose being in office once again and sending them packing.

Durham has some folks actin’ a fool.

This will backfire once again. Those who don’t see it for what it is are too far gone, the world has moved on without you.

Bull Durham is the master of actin' a fool. Still waiting for Hillary and Obama to be indicted? Or was it Hunter? Or Brandon? "Incriminating Crossfire Hurricane documents." Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Was not in fact Epstein's attorney. Represented several Epstein employees. Records show that this big money dem donor donated $4500 to mixed D and r candidates over several election cycles.

"He worked as a federal prosecutor until Jan. 1, 2008, when a day later he became a defense attorney representing employees of Epstein, according to a 2018 story by the Miami Herald. According to the Herald, the employees included pilots for Epstein, his scheduler and a woman who had been described by some of Epstein’s victims as his sex slave. Epstein committed suicide in a Manhattan federal jail in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.

The Herald also reported that in 2011, Reinhart was named in a lawsuit where he was accused of violating Justice Department policies by representing the employees. Reinhart denied the allegations and said he did not participate in Epstein’s criminal case and did not learn any confidential information while working as a prosecutor."

Sometimes a conspiracy is afoot, this doesn't appear to be one of those times.

1. Judge was not Epstein's attorney and the magistrate was appointed by district judges, some of whom were Trump appointees
2. They returned the passports. They were not active. Two were expired and the third was diplomatic, which is no longer valid.
3. The FBI did not 'admit' to taking ACP docs. You write it like it's a crime or unusual. During white collar crime searches, you always have a Taint Team go through the docs to determine if anything is privileged. This is standard procedure and not 'biased'.

And most importantly, none of this is exculpatory. As usual, you post a bunch of random bullshit that has nothing to do with the actual issue. LBJ was president in 1968, not 1978. And if the FBI and NARA demands return of documents, you turn them over or argue it out in court. Trump didn't do that. Instead, he had his lawyers sign an affidavit that no other classified or gov't docs were in his possession. That was a lie. Why don't you address that lie?

I highly recommend that you read Team Garland’s response to POOTWH’s request for a special master. Particularly pages 16-21, for a start. DOJ citing a lot of court case precedent while POOTWH didn’t claim A/C privilege or EP previously when allowing searches and/or turning over documents. In fact, only claimed it on 8/29, two weeks after the unjust raid. Oops. Regardless, POOTWH doesn’t have standing on the EP claim and the taint team already set aside A/C privilege docs. I like the word taint.

I also enjoy fruit from the poisonous tree and connecting dots.

Donald Trump Mar-a-Lago Government and politics

Feds cite efforts to obstruct probe of docs at Trump estate

By ERIC TUCKER, JILL COLVIN and MICHAEL BALSAMO

45 mins ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department said Tuesday that classified documents were “likely concealed and removed” from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate as part of an effort to obstruct the federal investigation into the discovery of the government records.

The FBI also seized 33 boxes containing more than 100 classified records during its Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago and found classified documents stashed in Trump's office, according to a filing that lays out the most detailed chronology to date of months of strained interactions between Justice Department officials and Trump representatives over the discovery of government secrets.

The filing offers yet another indication of the sheer volume of classified records retrieved from Mar-a-Lago. It shows how investigators conducting a criminal probe have focused not just on why the records were improperly stored there, but also on the question of whether the Trump team intentionally misled them about the continued, and unlawful, presence of the top secret documents.

The timeline laid out by the Justice Department made clear that the extraordinary search of Mar-a-Lago came only after other efforts to retrieve the records had failed, and that it resulted from law enforcement suspicion that additional documents remained inside the property despite assurances by Trump representatives that a “diligent search” had accounted for all of the material.

It also included a picture of some of the seized documents bearing clear classification markings, perhaps as a way to rebut suggestions that whoever packed them or was handling them could have easily failed to appreciate their sensitive nature.

The photo shows the cover pages of a smattering of paperclip-bound classified documents — some marked as “TOP SECRET//SCI” with bright yellow borders, and one marked as “SECRET//SCI” with a rust-colored border — along with whited-out pages, splayed out on a carpet at Mar-a-Lago. Beside them sits a cardboard box filled with gold-framed pictures, including a Time magazine cover.

Though it contains significant new details on the investigation, the Justice Department filing does not resolve a core question that has driven public fascination with the investigation — why Trump held onto the documents after he left the White House and why he and his team resisted repeated efforts to give them back. In fact, it suggests officials may not have received an answer.

During a June 3 visit to Mar-a-Lago by FBI and Justice Department officials, the document states, “Counsel for the former President offered no explanation as to why boxes of government records, including 38 documents with classification markings, remained at the Premises nearly five months after the production of the Fifteen Boxes and nearly one-and-a-half years after the end of the Administration."

That visit to Mar-a-Lago, which came weeks after the Justice Department issued a subpoena for the records, receives substantial attention in the document and appears to be a key investigative focus.

Though Trump has said he had declassified all of the documents at Mar-a-Lago, his lawyers did not suggest that during the visit and instead “handled them in a manner that suggested counsel believed that the documents were classified," according to the document.

FBI agents who went there to receive additional materials were given “a single Redweld envelope, double-wrapped in tape, containing the documents," the filing states.

That envelope, according to the FBI, contained 38 unique documents with classification markings, including five documents marked confidential, 16 marked secret and 17 marked top secret.

During that visit, the document says, Trump’s lawyers told investigators that all the records that had come from the White House were stored in one location — a Mar-a-Lago storage room — and that “there were no other records stored in any private office space or other location at the Premises and that all available boxes were searched.”

After that, though, the Justice Department, which had subpoenaed video footage for the property, “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.” The filing does not identify the individuals who may have relocated the boxes.

In their August search, agents found classified documents both in the storage room as well as in the former president’s office — including three classified documents found not in boxes, but in office desks.

“That the FBI, in a matter of hours, recovered twice as many documents with classification markings as the ‘diligent search’ that the former President’s counsel and other representatives had weeks to perform calls into serious question the representations made in the June 3 certification and casts doubt on the extent of cooperation in this matter,” the document states.

It says, “In some instances, even the FBI counterintelligence personnel and DOJ attorneys conducting the review required additional clearances before they were permitted to review certain documents.”

The investigation began from a referral from the National Archives and Records Administration, which recovered 15 boxes from Mar-a-Lago in January that were found to contain 184 documents with classified markings, including top secret information.

The purpose of the Tuesday night filing was to oppose a request from the Trump legal team for a special master to review the documents seized during this month's search and set aside those protected by claims of legal privilege. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is set to hear arguments on the matter on Thursday.

Cannon on Saturday said it was her “preliminary intent” to appoint such a person but also gave the Justice Department an opportunity to respond.

On Monday, the department said it had already completed its review of potentially privileged documents and identified a “limited set of materials that potentially contain attorney-client privileged information.” It said Tuesday that a special master was therefore “unnecessary.”

In a separate development, the Trump legal team has grown with the addition of another attorney. Chris Kise, Florida's former solicitor general, has joined the team of lawyers representing Trump, according to two people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to discuss the move by name and spoke on condition of anonymity. Kise did not return messages seeking comment.
