Maybe Republicans can explain this away. I doubt it.

Files seized at Mar-a-Lago include material on foreign nation’s nuclear capabilities


Some of the documents seized on Aug. 8 detail top-secret U.S. operations so closely guarded that many senior national security officials are kept in the dark about them.

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 residence and 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 a near-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.

Remember when Republicans were the party of law enforcement and national security?

Before they became a cult?

LOL

"according to people familiar with the search, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive details of an ongoing investigation."

This is espionage by a private citizen with no authority to have these documents.

"Only the president, some members of his Cabinet or a near-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."

Once again, rampant, unproven speculation......just like the good old days between 2016 and 2020.
 
They really don't care about Israel or their nukes.. This isn't new
Yes it is. It is a brand new thing you literally just made up, as evidenced by the very recent and frequent and public squawking by Saudi Arabia about Israel's nukes. Did you not notice?

Why are you like this, when Saudi Arabia comes up? You seem to abandon all honesty and integrity and say demonstrably false things. Which is out of character for you. .

Right, this is where you geniuses clam that is false, while simultaneously whining like little babies that the DOJ leaked something g bad about your special orange man.

All the while completely oblivious to how this makes no sense and makes you seem like utter morons.

Pure speculation with no proof.
Do as your clown master said during his campaign........

 
All presidents turn their documents over to the National Archives.. it's the law. Are you stupid?
What's the penalty for violating the Presidential Records Act?

So, lets just pretend that it turns out the leak is true and Trump had those documents.

Would that bother you in the least?

Let's just pretend that Hillary did have a private secret unsecured server that contained top secret information.

Hillary should be in jail, I have said that like 1000 times on this forum now. If I did what she had done I would be in jail, so should she.

So, now can you answer the question about Trump?

I don't know. Mishandling documents was a misdemeanor. Trump made it a felony with 5 years prison. What Trump did is more serious and deliberate. Taking and hiding classified documents and top secret documents is not just carelessness.
 
The FBI took medical records and tax records. What crimes were they trying to prove with those?
If those records were seized, they fell under the "nexus" clause in the search warrant. To seize not just documents marked classified, but those materials in close proximity.
They become evidence in not only whether or not Trump had those documents, but where, and under what conditions they were stored. What other documents were they co-mingled with. A way of proving Trumps intent to hold onto highly classified documents, and store them in unlocked locations.
 
You guys realize

Maybe, though that isn't going to help Trump politically or legally.
Is Trump breathing?
Yup
THEN HE IS LYING
How about Joe Biden?

He is not exactly a paragon of virtue. He lies like a cheap rug and is the stereotypical corrupt politician.

I wonder where he got this lie or did he just invent it?
