From reading all the commentary, it appears that most pundits on all sides mostly agree that this is about documents and a potential violation of the federal records act, although a few think the document search is being used in hopes of finding evidence that could help build a case for 1/6. The DOJ isn’t talking so we don’t know much about the investigation.

Democrats are split on the political goal. Establishment Dems want Trump on the 2024 ballot because they think keeping him in the limelight benefits their election prospects. Getting Trump supporters angry and motivated to nominate him is a win the Democratic Party. (I think they’re right about this and as a DeSantis supporter I hope this latest development helps my preferred candidate.)

Other Democrats want Trump disqualified from the ballot via a conviction on a records violation. Based on what many legal experts are saying, that would not be a disqualification.

Declassification is a multistep paper trail process. It isn't a president just waving a wand. Of course Trump didn't go through that process with anything. His false view of declassification involved stopping up the plumbing.

yeah, i was watching about that... steps to go through and until that paper's classified stamp has been crossed out and restamped "declassified" and bearing signatures of those who verified it as such, it's still classed as classified.

i have to smile at the 'nothing there, no evidence' story changing to 'planted evidence!'

I think that's a good temp gauge. The right seems to be completely ignoring any legitimacy of the search at all, so discussions over motives are negligible

Is Trump planning a civil war now? Has he screwed missile launchers to the wings of his plane? Did he buy himself a gun that holds more than six bullets?

A civil war goes with his continued coup attempt. More than once he's said that his despicables will go to the streets if the U.S. government dares try to hold him accountable for his corruption, criminality, treason, financial fraud and scamming, or his sexual assaulting.

And still the Class A turd receives support, including from the hypocritical board Trumpettes.

Classified documents in unauthorized people's hands. Why does it not surprise me Republicans can't focus on the problem...and solve it. Give the Classified material to those in charge of it. In some countries...these traitors would be shot. Don't abuse the system else we open the door to becoming one of those countries. That is so un-American

i was just about to post this, K, lol

wouldn't it be too perfect if it came to pass?

Bradley P. Moss, a national-security attorney, told Insider that Trump could face five years in prison if he's found guilty under a national security bill which he signed as president.

The bill, which made changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was signed into law by Trump in January 2018.

It upgraded the seriousness of wrongly moving classified material, turning it from a misdemeanor into a felony — and increasing the maximum punishment from one year to five.

"When House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield threatened Attorney General Merrick Garland on Twitter Monday night for deploying FBI agents to search the Florida resort of former President Donald Trump, it was a political declaration of war." ... "McCarthy once swore an oath to defend the U.S. Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic, but that oath clearly means little to him as he unilaterally disregards the work of a sitting attorney general before Garland even has a chance to make his case against Trump."

The raid on Mar-a-Lago was based largely on information from an FBI confidential human source, one who was able to identify what classified documents former President Trump was still hiding and even the location of those documents, two senior government officials told Newsweek.

The officials, who have direct knowledge of the FBI's deliberations and were granted anonymity in order to discuss sensitive matters, said the raid of Donald Trump's Florida residence was deliberately timed to occur when the former president was away.

FBI decision-makers in Washington and Miami thought that denying the former president a photo opportunity or a platform from which to grandstand (or to attempt to thwart the raid) would lower the profile of the event, says one of the sources, a senior Justice Department official who is a 30-year veteran of the FBI.

I was about to note how quiet AJ has been today, and then I saw why. He's been smacked around so much, he probably needs that tinfoil hat to keep his remaining brain cells in place.

To hear Alina Habba, one of Trump’s defense lawyers, explain it: The FBI probably planted incriminating evidence when agents raided the ex-president’s Mar-a-Lago resort on Monday, but also the raid was a wild goose chase and Trump doesn’t have anything incriminating at Mar-a-Lago.

• “Quite honestly, I’m concerned that they may have planted something,” Habba told Fox News on Tuesday night. “At this point, who knows?”
• Christina Bobb, another Trump defense lawyer and former OAN host (RIP), on the other hand, doesn’t “necessarily think that they would even go to the extent of” planting anything because “they just make stuff up and come up with whatever they want,” even though “[t]here’s just nothing there.”

facts don't matter to these people. their interest now is to spread as much disinformation&distrust as they can in hopes it will muddy jurors' minds in the future

first time appearing as a trumpee was in June:

Before her career with Trump, Halligan does not appear to have had a history in the practice of defamation or national security law.

A local profile lists her practice as focusing on insurance claim defense, with a focus on water, fire, vandalism, theft, and other issues that afflict residential and commercial real estate holdings. Halligan is listed in South Florida courts as appearing on behalf of local insurers, as well.

ex oan-er:

Bobb is a former OAN host who began to moonlight as an attorney for the Trump campaign in 2020.

According to a summer 2021 deposition from Rudy Giuliani, Bobb became part of the Trump legal team after the 2020 election, helping attorneys inflate bizarre and scattered reports of voter fraud into a mosaic suggesting a broader conspiracy.

racist *bitch*:

Alina Habba, an attorney representing Trump in a lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James, let loose on Fox News Tuesday night, pointing out that it’s not as if Trump stole records having to do with “Jimmy Hoffa” or which “discuss if aliens existed.”

Habba is reportedly hated by the rest of Trump’s legal team. A recent lawsuit accused her of racist language, saying that she referred to James as a “black b*itch.”

hey, it should cheer harpy up.. he has a future right along with these people. i'm absolutely 100% sure he can convince them of his favourite water theory

history-making president and ex-president

“He thinks I’m good for $45. That’s what his email list managers tell him,” O’Donnell said. “And there's a deadline. Deadline for my contribution of $45 is immediately. Immediately. I gotta drop everything and contribute.”

O'Donnell noted that Trump’s presidency made history in myriad ways. For example, he was the first U.S. president to visit North Korea, he was the first to be impeached twice, the first former president to have his home raided by the FBI, and as O’Donnell pointed out, the first to raise money off of that.

The former chief of the Justice Department’s national security division said Tuesday that the FBI warrant for the search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Fla., suggests prosecutors believe they have probable cause that there may have been violations of the World War I-era Espionage Act.

That law has traditionally been used to target government leakers, such as former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. But it also “actually has provisions that apply to essentially the mishandling [of classified material] through gross negligence, permitting documents to be removed from their proper place, or to be lost, stolen or destroyed,” Mary McCord, a veteran federal prosecutor who headed DOJ’s national security division in the closing years of the Obama administration, told the Yahoo News “Skullduggery” podcast.

McCord said that the Espionage Act is one of two federal crimes that prosecutors may be focusing on in their warrant to search Trump’s home. The other, she said, is another federal statute that targets anyone who “willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies or destroys public records.”

Well, yes, Donald Trump is an espionage asset of the Russians and thus, in stealing and holding classified documents, he should be charged big time under the Espionage Act. If he isn't, he is being held above the law.

A view from the left - Alan Dershowitz weighs in:

Justice Department should have subpoenaed documents, not raided Trump’s home​

“For zealous Trump haters, anything done to Trump is justified. For zealous Trump lovers, nothing done to him is ever justified. For the majority of moderate, thoughtful Americans, however, the Justice Department’s raid likely seems — at least at this point in time — to be unjust or needlessly confrontational.”
