The initial batch of documents retrieved by the National Archives from former President Donald J. Trump in January included more than 150 marked as classified, a number that ignited intense concern at the Justice Department and helped trigger the criminal investigation that led F.B.I. agents to swoop into Mar-a-Lago this month seeking to recover more, multiple people briefed on the matter said.
In total, the government has recovered more than 300 documents with classified markings from Mr. Trump since he left office, the people said: that first batch of documents returned in January, another set provided by Mr. Trump’s aides to the Justice Department in June and the material seized by the F.B.I. in the search this month
[...]
Mr. Trump went through the boxes himself in late 2021, according to multiple people briefed on his efforts, before turning them over.
The highly sensitive nature of some of the material in the boxes prompted archives officials to refer the matter to the Justice Department, which within months had convened a grand jury investigation.
Aides to Mr. Trump turned over a few dozen additional sensitive documents during a visit to Mar-a-Lago by Justice Department officials in early June. At the conclusion of the search this month, officials left with 26 boxes, including 11 sets of material marked as classified, comprising scores of additional documents. One set had the highest level of classification, top secret/sensitive compartmented information.
The Justice Department investigation is continuing, suggesting that officials are not certain whether they have recovered all the presidential records that Mr. Trump took with him from the White House.
[..]
On June 22, the Justice Department subpoenaed the Trump Organization for Mar-a-Lago’s security footage, which included a well-trafficked hallway outside the storage area, the people said.
The club had surveillance footage going back 60 days for some areas of the property, stretching back to late April of this year.
While much of the footage showed hours of club employees walking through the busy corridor, some of it raised concerns for investigators, according to people familiar with the matter. It revealed people moving boxes in and out, and in some cases, appearing to change the containers some documents were held in. The footage also showed other parts of the property.
In seeking a second round of security footage, the Justice Department wants to review tapes for the weeks leading up to the Aug. 8 search.

So he looked through the various documents himself, kept a load of them while telling the DOJ he'd returned everything, and the feds have footage of boxes going in and out after that date with documents being moved to new containers. All the people involved in that will be being interviewed and will have to tell the feds where they moved the documents and what they were up to.

Hopefully Trump is found guilty and imprisoned for life for these offences. Fitting end to a morally corrupt and egotistical man.
The real meaning of MAGA...

Joke by Andrew Schulz.
He'll get a deal. He'll have to plead guilty in return for no trial/jail time. The question is what other stuff he'll have to agree to. Maybe they can make him agree never to seek office again. Although that looks nakedly political. Maybe permanently ban him from holding a security clearance but he could still get elected and scrap the ruling. He'll get a deal though and tell his fans he had to take it because he'd have no chance in front of a (black) DC jury.
Although it depends what the investigation dredges up. If it comes up with something significant then all bets are off. Look at this:
“Last year, a top-secret memo sent to every C.I.A. station around the world, warned about troubling numbers of informants being captured or killed”
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/26/u...nce-spies.html
and
The U.S. intelligence community will evaluate the potential national security risks stemming from former President Donald Trump’s possession of top-secret documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told top lawmakers.
In a letter obtained by POLITICO and dated Friday, Haines told House Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) and House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) that her office will lead an “assessment of the potential risk to national security that would result from the disclosure of the relevant documents.”
“The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) are working together to facilitate a classification review of relevant materials, including those recovered during the search,” Haines wrote, adding that the review will be conducted in a way that “does not unduly interfere with DOJ’s ongoing criminal investigation.”
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/0...ments-00054006
So anything could happen. According to the affidavit they just released “the FBI has not yet identified all potential criminal confederates nor located all evidence related to its investigation”. But if the investigation doesn't turn up anything damning the most likely outcome is some kind of deal and whether they can work out some way of banning Trump from running again via the deal that doesn't look too political.
Then there's this. A Russian spy hanging out at Trump's Florida restaurant last year:

This story came out yesterday and nobody noticed. It's a good job Trump wasn't keeping all these top secret documents in emails on a private server or stories like this would be making headlines for months to come.

trump won't go to jail, these guys are all in it together & trump knows too much. there's a reason he was talking about nine eleven recently
“So now it comes out, conclusively, that the FBI BURIED THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY BEFORE THE ELECTION knowing that, if they didn’t, ‘Trump would have easily won the 2020 Presidential Election.'”
That falls under the "Whatever it Takes" category. :D :D
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...out&li=BBnb7Kz
Trump Demands Either New Election ‘Immediately’ or Make Him ‘Rightful’ President Now
Ok ok ok... sheesh...
Let's give Trump his way and have a new election.
I think they should have a new election. But the process takes time, with all the logistics involved. You know... the campaigning... primaries... debates... the whole electoral system setup... the whole ball of wax.
Let's see. You'd need about 6 months to give new candidates a chance to go through the whole registration process.
Probably a good 12 months for campaigning for primaries.
After primaries, you'd need about 8 months of campaigning for the general elections.
Let's see... what's that... roughly 26 months.
According to my calculations, that would take us to November 2024.
Let's go for it. :D
One thing is for sure, no matter which side somebody is on with this, it is a big mess because there is quite a bit of evidence even from Zuckerberg now and people in the FBI, that they did do this, and that is clearly the worst kind of election meddling. Suppressing evidence and also suppressing exonerating evidence has been their specialty over the past 5 years. It's a mess and everybody on both sides is guilty of taking part.
Yes, the FBI in conjunction with the deep state and the mainstream media buried the Hunter Biden story so that nobody got to hear about it until after the election. Not a single article about it in any big mainstream media publication before the election happened.
Oh wait.
It turns out the New York Times published one article on the laptop before the election. Oh hang on, not one, twenty three. Basically one a day. Have a look:
https://www.google.com/search?q=site...&bih=955&dpr=2
And the same for the Washington Post and every other big news publication and it was on television news endlessly because it's all one of the candidates was talking about.
Here's why mainstream media was circumspect. The story was being pushed by Rudy Giuliani who had already been caught pushing outright bullshit claims about Joe Biden being corrupt a few weeks earlier:
https://www.salon.com/2020/09/14/rud...russian-agent/
So he'd already been caught colluding with a Russian secret agent to try and alter the American election result. How about that.
Then he turns up with a laptop hard drive and a preposterous story about how he got it and shops it arounf every major media outlet. He refuses tolet any of them have forensic people check it to see if it's legit at all. Nobody bites. Trump gets onto Rupert Murdoch after his Wall Street Journal refuse to bite. Murdoch gets onto the New York Post which he also owns and is basically the tabloid version of Fox news which he also owns. Murdoch orders the Post to run a story. No journalist even at the New York Post will touch it. Murdoch eventually finds a girl who works for Sean Hannity who will put her name to it. It's the first story she's ever written/had published.
Giuliani still refuses to let anybody including the Post have access to the hard drive. Months after the election the Washinton Post and NYT eventually get hold of caches of emails and have them authenticated. They publish stories about them. The conservative media show this proves that the pre election coverup (which never happened, hundreds of articles and endless television coverage) was a deep state conspiracy.
Oh and the emails they authenticated show that Joe Biden played no part in his son's shenanigans. Along with loads of other reporting by mainstream outlets. It's amazing that the liberal media produce endless coverage of inflation, gas prices, grocery prices, the problems withdrawing from Afghanistan and all other negative things that have happened under Joe Biden but conservative media does not do the same when a Repubican is in office. It's basically just a twenty forst century version of Pravda. No negative coverage of their own team at all.
They didn't suppress anything. They told Facebook and other media outlets that there was aliklihood of another Russia propaganda dump before the election. That's all they did. Facebook like every other media outlet were circumspect about the laptop story but they still all published it. Millions od articles and posts on Facebook in the couple of weeks before the election even though Facebook didn't promote it.
The Secret Service guy who was going to totally refute that girl's testimony about Trump trying to strangle somebody resigns two days before he was going to be interviewed about it:

The twenty people in Florida just hit with voter fraud charges will all get off because they didn't intentionally commit fraud:
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...ntrapment.html
Just after this fucker went viral on twitter Trump reposted the clip on his failing social media site:
https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1564029020995469312
and he's generally had a meltdown on there today. More to come on that.
What a second Trump term would look like:
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...ungary/671264/
It's been a bad day for Trump's slip and fall lawyers.
Here's one of them saying she personally searched his Florida restaurant for classified documents and didn't find any. Note the subpoena wanted documents with classified markings so even if Trump had magically declassified them, which he didn't, she can't use the bullshit declassification claim as an excuse:
https://twitter.com/KlasfeldReports/...67893317967872
So either she's lying under oath or she's now a witness against Trump. If she really did search and there was nothing there then Trump had moved them elsewhere which is bang to rights obstruction of justice. In a matter of days she's going to be being attacked by Trump as a deep state plant in the plot to frame him, isn't she.
Here is the same lawyer on the telly tonight admitting that Trump has regular guests in a room where he keeps unsecured top secret documents:
https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1565154301101703175
And it looks like another two lawyers have already been defenestrated:
Newly public details from the Justice Department’s criminal probe of documents taken to Mar-a-Lago suggest enormous legal peril for two of Donald Trump’s attorneys — and considerable uncertainty for Trump himself, intelligence and legal expertssaid.
[...]
The evidence laid out in the filing, experts said, could build a legal case that Trump attorneys Evan Corcoran and Christina Bobb obstructed the government’s investigation, allegedly telling FBI agents and prosecutors that they had handed over all classified documents when in fact many remained in Trump’s possession.
[..]
Three people close to Trump acknowledged that Bobb and Corcoran could be in trouble and said Bobb is no longer expected to play a role in Trump’s legal defense. “Christina is not going to be on the motions going forward,” one of the people said.
Of Corcoran, whose name was on a legal filing submitted by Trump’s team Wednesday night,one person involved in Trump’s orbit said: “Evan is in a jam, but the question is what Evan actually believed. The president needs another lawyer than Evan right now.”
Bobb and Corcoran did not respond to requests for comment. One top Trump adviser said the former president’s legal team planned to argue that there was “wiggle room” in the sworn attestation.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...egal-jeopardy/
Wiggle room.
And I'm guessing everybody has seen the photograph from the FBI raid. I was shocked at the carpet I have to say.
If you scroll down here you can see what the various classification markings on the documents in the photograph show:

Basically the highest level nuclear secrets, human intelligence, stuff from spy satellites, that sort of thing. In his office.
The filing basically confirms all the reporting over the past few weeks that the big papers have done.

Really, what is with the costumes and just bonkers dress up you see at these rallies ???. The flags with his big melon on Rambo and just infantile outfits.

A document describing a foreign government’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities, was found by FBI agents who searched former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residenceand private club last month, according to people familiar with the matter, underscoring concerns among U.S. intelligence officials about classified material stashed in the Florida property.
Some of the seized documents detail top-secret U.S. operations so closely guarded that many senior national security officials are kept in the dark about them. Only the president, some members of his Cabinet or anear-Cabinet-level official could authorize other government officials to know details of these special-access programs, according to people familiar with the search, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive details of an ongoing investigation.
Documents about such highly classified operations require special clearances on a need-to-know basis, not just top-secret clearance. Some special-access programs can have as few as a couple dozen government personnel authorized to know of an operation’s existence. Records that deal with such programs are kept under lock and key, almost always in a secure compartmented information facility, with a designated control officer to keep careful tabs on their location.
But such documents were stored at Mar-a-Lago, with uncertain security, more than 18 months after Trump left the White House.

Trumps inflated net worth by billions, says NY state lawsuit
Donald Trump and three of his children have been hit with a fraud lawsuit after a New York investigation into their family company - the Trump Organization.
It alleges that they lied "by billions" about the value of real estate in order to get loans and pay less tax.
Prosecutors say the Trump Organization committed numerous acts of fraud between 2011-21.
Mr Trump has dismissed the lawsuit as "another witch hunt".
The former president's eldest children, Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric Trump, were also named as defendants alongside two executives at the Trump Organization, Allen Weisselberg and Jeffrey McConney.
The lawsuit has been brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is the state's most senior lawyer, after a three-year civil investigation.
Her office does not have the power to file criminal charges, but is referring allegations of criminal wrongdoing to federal prosecutors and to the Internal Revenue Service.
"With the help of his children and senior executives at the Trump Organization, Donald Trump falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to unjustly enrich himself and cheat the system," Ms James said in a statement.
She said Mr Trump's own apartment in Trump Tower, which was valued at $327m (£288m), was among the properties whose values were allegedly misrepresented.
"No apartment in New York City has ever sold for close to that amount," Ms James added.

Nothing burger
Trumps latest interview on Hannity was pretty amusing...
So theres a process for declassifying documents but there doesn't need to be a process and he can declassify them just by saying so or just by thinking about it...
So the FBI are the fools here because they raided poor old Trump and took a load of telepathically declassified documents. The deep state will try anything
Also there was a fairly funny moment where he forgot his defence and started saying he can move documents to Mar a Lago or somewhere else. :S he forgot to claim someone else put them there or the FBI planted it... Great stuff trump
