The Thunder Rolls: Donald Trump releases dramatic political video after FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago

[LukSkyFokker]

We don’t know at this point.

Smart people are commenting on what we do know and all you Trumplitards babble about is "what ifs" as a weak source of deflection.

When Sandy Berger left the White House, he took classified government documents from the National Archives that dealt with the 2000 millennium terror plot.

Like Trump, Berger was not authorized to take those documents home with him. UNLIKE TRUMP, Berger was threatened with prosecution and jail time for the theft of classified government documents!

Berger's lawyers eventually worked out a plea deal to keep him out of jail. Berger ended up paying a $50,000 fine, served two years' probation and had to perform 100 hours of community service.

When Berger took classified documents, he only took ONE FILE! He didn't take a truckload worth of documents!

Also, Berger returned the file VOLUNTARILY! The feds didn't need a search warrant to get it back!

There is not report of a motion being filed because there isn't one.

45s lawyers are lying and using the media...as they always do.

Did his lawyers say they filed a motion? I haven’t seen that reported. Per a Fox News report, unnamed sources said a master review was requested by Trump’s lawyers. A request is not necessarily a motion, and Trump’s lawyers are not cited in the report. I am definitely not suggesting anyone should trust a media report that isn’t sourced, and no one should trust Trump’s lawyers or the FBI. Hence my continuing call for as much transparency as possible.

There is a frenzy of speculation about secret evidence, criminal charges, grave damage to national security, super secret nuclear material, Melania’s closet, and all kinds of wild scenarios. And nobody knows what the evidence is, or is not.

DOJ should absolutely appoint an independent master review of the assets seized. If Trump’s people are claiming the FBI seized material protected by attorney client privilege, an independent master review can clear it up.

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI seized boxes containing records covered by attorney-client privilege and potentially executive privilege during its raid of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News, adding that the Justice Department opposed Trump lawyers' request for the appointment of an independent, special master to review the records.

The DoJ has no reason to have an independent review as the inventory provides an account of the documents seized.

 

[LukSkyFokker]

A few months ago, the FBI et al. were so inept that they should all be FIRED.

Now, they are criminal masterminds who executed their devious plan to pure perfection.

By their own admission, Fox News is an entertainment organization not a News Organization

 

[ll74]

Just adding - it doesn't matter whether the documents were classified, as the warrant was not about the state of classification but rather documents that did not belong to the private citizen, Trump

I don’t know if they did or did not. Nobody has reported they have so you are shadow boxing. We know how many boxes were taken and how the boxes are marked. There have been some reports about a few items inside the boxes, such as some letters. Those boxes likely contain thousands of documents. If you have an itemized list of every document, please share.

Your opposition to transparency and independent review is amusing.

There was no filing, else there would be a report of a filing. 45s lawyers should file a motion if that's what the intend to do.

You have heard lots of things in the news....if it's not a court motion, then don't believe it. They're playing the public for political purposes.

Agree. Let’s have an independent master review.

If the courts see a reason for one, absolutely

Until then, wild speculation and distrust of the government will continue. The DOJ doesn’t have to wait for a court to order an independent master review.

Yes, and the DOJ understands that a review doesn't actually matter to their case and won't actually give the public more trust

45 continues to demonstrate that he'll continue to bullshit his way to gain favor with his supporters. No one should cater to that bullshit

What possible independent review exists? You could have Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson review them, and there would still be right-wingers claiming that they’re all Marxist lefties.

Keep arguing against transparency. Lol.

Not the most creative excuse.

 

[Intrigued42]

This whole week has been a last gasp of a clearly-failed businessman who attempted to wield all of his mob-based moxie for 6+ years as the so-called head of the Rs. The enablers need to get a clue. As he mentioned so many years ago, "I'm f**ked." Time to pay the piper, asswipe!

 

[ll74]

I'm not arguing against transparency. I'm arguing for the rule of law. There is a court process to follow and the government has a right to object to a judge with supported reasoning.

This doesn’t require a court order.

If they want to compel the DOJ to do so, it does.

Yes, if the DOJ prefers to resist transparency, a court order would be required.

They aren't resisting transparency. That's why Garland gave a statement and unsealed the information. Beyond that, there's nothing to be gained by possibly tainting an ongoing investigation

How does an independent review by a special magistrate of seized documents taint an ongoing investigation?

It allows information outside of the hands of the DoJ.

You keep rooting for an independent review...more power to ya. It won't lead to any more information than has already been provided. And then you'll just pivot to something else.

 

[phrodeau]

Not the most creative excuse.

FBI Director Christopher Wray was appointed by Trump, and Attorney General Merrick Garland was confirmed with bipartisan support, so what is your excuse?
