"It's not theirs, Its mine"

In a response to a request by Donald Trump's legal team to appoint a special master to review documents FBI officials retrieved from his Mar-a-Lago home, U.S. prosecutors said that "efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government's investigation," according to a filing the Justice Department submitted to a federal judge late Tuesday.


The prosecutors said in the court filing that Trump and his team failed to hand over sensitive government records even after they told investigators that a "diligent search" for the materials had been conducted to comply with a subpoena, the filing states.


The 36-page filing outlines the government's repeated efforts to retrieve sensitive materials from Trump's Palm Beach, Fla., home before it was searched Aug. 8.


FBI agents executed a search warrant after investigators came to believe that the highly sensitive materials were "likely concealed and removed" from a storage room at Mar-a-Lago, according to the filing, which includes a photo of documents in bright yellow and red folders labeled "Secret" and "Top Secret" that were found in a container in the former president's office.

"The classification levels ranged from CONFIDENTIAL to TOP SECRET information, and certain documents included additional sensitive compartments that signify very limited distribution. 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," officials said in the filing.

Also included in the filing is a sworn statement from Trump's "Custodian of Records."

"I am authorized to certify, on behalf of the Office of Donald J. Trump, the following," the statement reads. "A diligent search was conducted of the boxes that were moved from the White House to Florida; This search was conducted after receipt of the subpoena, in order to locate any and all documents that are responsive to the subpoena."

"I swear or affirm that the above statements are true and correct to the best of my knowledge," the statement, dated June 3, also states.


Trump's team handed over 38 documents that day, according to Tuesday's filing, in addition to more than 180 that had been discovered in boxes sent to the National Archives earlier this year.

Despite the assurances that all the records that were taken from the White House were kept in a Mar-a-Lago storage room in boxes and that they'd been thoroughly searched, more than 100 additional classified papers were found when the FBI entered the property on Aug. 8.


"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," reads the filing, "calls into serious question the representations made in the June 3 certification and casts doubt on the extent of cooperation in this matter."

 


including in his own office -the docs were found among his own personal items, like his passports -the types of docs; we are not talking about scraps of unimportant papers; these are docs about the govt's top secrets - the evidence that shows consciousness of guilt, including..

-delaying for months and months to return 15 boxes to the Archives -fighting the Archives telling the FBI about the docs -only returning a redweld of even docs after being served with a GJ subpoena -giving DOs a required certification that was false...

in saying a diligent search was done, which can't have happened as there were many more docs easily found; -false statement saying docs were only in one storage location when they weren't -blocking DOJ from looking in storage location --DOJ search turned up even more docs...

including in desk of his office. -Do you think this all happened for 18 months WITHOUT Trump knowing, and his lawyers did this without consulting with the client? -And all this evidence is BEFORE we consider witnesses who we called at the trial about Trump's knowing....

-that he should not take docs from WH, and should send them to Archives -that he was in charge of packing material from WH -that the process was secretive -that the lawyers Corcoran and Bobb could not ethically file the certification without discussing with Trump [insert proof...

of what Corcoran & Bobb say, as required by court to reveal who authorized statements to DOJ that they made] -[insert proof of surveillance tapes & witnesses of moving boxes to obstruct discovery of docs by DOJ] -There is only one verdict....

consistent with this proof; we ask you to return a verdict of: guilty on espionage related charges (793/2071); guilty on contempt of GJ subpoena (402); guilty on obstruction related charges (1001/1519) guilty on unlawful retention of govt docs (641).

This shit is fixing to get real. Trump lied, he obstructed justice, and the FBI went there to look for nuclear documents. Lock his traitorous ass up;


 
Boxes of documents even came with [then-president] Trump on foreign travel, following him to hotel rooms around the world — including countries considered foreign adversaries of the United States.
“There was no rhyme or reason — it was classified documents on top of newspapers on top of papers people printed out of things they wanted him to read. The boxes were never organized,” [Stephanie] Grisham said. “He’d want to get work done on long trips so he’d just rummage through the boxes. That was our filing system.”

People may have skipped over this because they gagged on the part about Trump wanting “to get work done.” But Michael Cohen caught it and said:

Let me be very clear, considering I know this 'Mandarin Mussolini' extremely well. Donald doesn't take boxes of material around the world for no reason at all. He took it for nefarious reasons. . . . For all we know, he’s already given it away.
We’ve already had some hints of this. Shortly after Trump met Putin in June 2019 at Helsinki, Trump's White House issue[d] an ominous request for a list of top U.S. spies. Two years later, we find out that CIA Admits That Agents Are Going Missing At Alarming Rate. So if Trump was traveling around the world visiting our adversaries (a/k/a his allies, like Putin, Xi, Orban) carrying boxes of so-far unknown classification with him, it was, as Cohen says, for nefarious purposes.

Michael Cohen says Trump may have already given away top-secret information from documents he brought around the world

Michael Cohen, former President Donald Trump's personal lawyer for 12 years, believes Trump may have given away top-secret information while traveling around the world during his tenure in the White House. . . .
Stephanie Grisham, who served as White House press secretary under Trump, also told the Post that documents her former [sic] sent for would often "just disappear."
And without knowing what he had, we may never be able to accurately assess the damage he has already done.
