I've wondered about their aversion to the special master. I would rather have him making some of the decisions then loose judge cannon.
Or is that judge loose cannon?

www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/10/14/maralago-supreme-court-ruling-trump/The Supreme Court has dismissed Donald Trump in a single sentence. With no note of dissent, the justices Thursday rejected the former president’s request to intervene in litigation over documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate this summer. This outcome only underscores the outrageous frivolity of the contentions his team has lodged in courts of law and public opinion.

Habba, Habba, Habba I get your drift.... Most would not want things to go forward before the election, but she thinks, and is probably right, that an indictment now would boost, and incite his hoards... Alina Habba, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, called the Justice Department's investigation "a political hack" because of a decision not to indict her client before the midterm elections.*** Habba stopped short of calling the decision "garbage." This is such a political hack," she insisted. "So they're going to try and stay away from any implications that they're doing this because of the midterms. So instead, they say, 'Oh, if there's going to be a charge, it will be after.'" The attorney complained that no other former president has been charged over the mishandling of government records. www.rawstory.com/alina-habba-trump-indictment/ |

No no no.....not just MAL!! bedminster and NYC +++ CNN is reporting on a potential shift in Donald Trump's legal strategy over two months after the FBI executed a search warrant at his Florida result. Donald Trump’s legal team is weighing whether to allow federal agents to return to the former President’s Florida residence, and potentially conduct a supervised search, to satisfy the Justice Department’s demands that all sensitive government documents are returned, sources tell CNN," Sara Murray, Kristen Holmes and Gabby Orr reported. The National Archives and Department of Justice both believe Trump continues to possess government documents. "The possibility of allowing federal officials to return to Trump’s property – likely with Trump’s own lawyers present – is just one option on the table as the Trump team grapples with how best to protect the former President from legal jeopardy" CNN reported. "In the throes of multiple legal battles and hoping to alleviate some of the pressure he is facing, Trump has recently signaled to aides and allies that he is open to a less adversarial approach toward the Justice Department – one that might swiftly resolve the records issue after weeks of contentious court proceedings, according to people familiar with the situation." www.rawstory.com/trump-fbi-mar-a-lago-2658476956/ |

Did they document that Trump had private meetings with Putin and Xi? If so this is even more concerning. I mean more private than what is normal. I mean isn’t there usually some kind of documentation that didn’t happen with Trump that normally happens? Thinking he could then pass on information that normally couldn’t happen as there would be witnesses.

Supposing this is true, that means those documents were actually safer in a private safe under secret service protection than they were with the federal government or else you never would have heard about them. What happened to all the nuclear missile codes that were at Mar-A-Lago that you were so happy to gossip about earlier? Maybe the recipe for Bush's Baked Beans were in the safe. That's supposed to be a secret.  |

What happened to all the nuclear missile codes that were at Mar-A-Lago that you were so happy to gossip about earlier? Maybe the recipe for Bush's Baked Beans were in the safe. That's supposed to be a secret. We heard about them because they were at an unsecured location at a country club where anyone could walk in. The documents relating to the nuclear capabilities of another country are also problematic and a risk to national security. The important questions are why did Trump take the documents, what did he intend to do with them and who else saw them? www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/09/06/trump-nuclear-documents/www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/10/21/trump-documents-mar-a-lago-iran-china/Some of the classified documents recovered by the FBI from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and private club included highly sensitive intelligence regarding Iran and China, according to people familiar with the matter. If shared with others, the people said, such information could expose intelligence-gathering methods that the United States wants to keep hidden from the world.
At least one of the documents seized by the FBI describes Iran’s missile program, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. Other documents described highly sensitive intelligence work aimed at China, they said.
The Washington Post has previously reported that one of the documents seized in the FBI search described a foreign country’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities. The people familiar with the matter said that many of the more sensitive documents Trump or his aides apparently took to Mar-a-Lago after he left the White House are top-level analysis papers that do not contain sources’ names. But even without individual identifiers, such documents can provide valuable clues to foreign adversaries about how the United States may be gathering intelligence, and from whom, the people said.
Some of the seized documents detail top-secret U.S. operations so closely guarded that many senior national security officials are not informed about them, The Post reported in September. Only the president, some members of his Cabinet or a near-Cabinet-level official could authorize government officials to know details of these special-access programs, people have said. Investigators conducting the Mar-a-Lago probe did not initially have the authority to review that material.
The new information about the documents obtained by The Post highlight what current and former intelligence officials say was the inherent risk posed by removing highly classified material from strictly guarded government buildings and keeping them in a private club filled with staffers, guests and visitors. |

Surely we KNEW about the top secret documents long ago, because our government has gathered info since forever. But of course, we never knew details because the public, us, don't need to have that info, nor should visitors and those living at MAL have it!

My my my ....I said they should check Ivana's casket!!! There could be vast implications of a bombshell Rolling Stone magazine report published Friday, according to legal experts. The magazine reported Federal Bureau of Investigation agents have questioned witnesses about whether government documents could be located at Trump Tower and other properties owned by the former president. "The FBI, according to these sources, had also asked in recent months whether the ex-president had a habit of transporting classified documents from his Florida estate Mar-a-Lago to the other Trump properties. The feds specifically discussed both the New York City and Bedminster locations with certain witnesses," Rolling Stone reported. Holy moley," tweeted MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin. Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti said, "the point of asking those questions would be to develop the probable cause needed to obtain search warrants of Trump Tower and Trump’s Bedminster residence." *** Conservative attorney George Conway wrote, "A quick observation: DOJ wouldn't be asking witnesses about an imaginary, nonexistent declassification order unless they were putting together a criminal case against the person who fabricated it." www.rawstory.com/fbi-bedminster-trump-tower/#cxrecs_s |

So they gave Kash Patel immunity.. wonder if he will take Meadows down too? DOJ grants Kash Patel immunity to force his testimony about Mar-a-Lago docsBob Brigham November 02, 2022 One of Donald Trump's official representatives to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has been granted criminal immunity and is set to "soon testify" before the federal grand jury investigating the Mar-a-Lago documents, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. Kash Patel, a former Devin Nunes aide who worked in the Trump administration, reportedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination when he testified before the grand jury in October. "A federal judge recently decided the Justice Department couldn’t force Mr. Patel to testify without such protection against his statements being used against him in some future prosecution," the newspaper reported. "That ruling, the people said, opens the door for Mr. Patel, who says Mr. Trump broadly declassified White House documents while still president, to answer questions." Trump announced Patel as one of his NARA representatives in June. "The immunity grant leaves the government only able to charge Mr. Patel, if at all, using information obtained independently of his immunized testimony," the newspaper reported. "Other Trump associates involved in the Mar-a-Lago documents matter also have been offered some form of immunity, people familiar with the matter said, including one of Mr. Trump’s lawyers, Christina Bobb, who declined, saying she didn’t need it." Eleven days after the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, Trump's Save America PAC paid Patel's consulting firm $7,500. www.rawstory.com/kash-patel-2658590086/ |

This country needs to get over this idea that no one is above the law. Ex presidents are not allowed to keep classified documents once they leave office.
When it was found out trump had taken some he was asked nicely to return them. trump being trump apparently didn’t return them all because he felt he was entitled to them. Then for the next year trump’s lawyers played games. Until finally the FBI did a surprise search over a year after trump as asked to return all the documents he took. And guess what? The FBI find more than a few documents he shouldn’t have.
Now we find out the FBI wanted to ask trump nicely if they could search MAL.
Do you honestly think trump would grant permission ti the FBI to search MAL or if did he wouldn’t have move the documents he wanted to another location?
The man is a crook and a con artist and should be treated as one.
From the Washington Post….
“Showdown before the raid: FBI agents and prosecutors argued over Trump”
“An exclusive look at behind-the-scenes deliberations as both sides wrestled with a national security case that has potentially far-reaching political consequences”
“Months of disputes between Justice Department prosecutors and FBI agents over how best to try to recover classified documents from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club and residence led to a tense showdown near the end of July last year, according to four people familiar with the discussions.
Prosecutors argued that new evidence suggested Trump was knowingly concealing secret documents at his Palm Beach, Fla., home and urged the FBI to conduct a surprise raid at the property. But two senior FBI officials who would be in charge of leading the search resisted the plan as too combative and proposed instead to seek Trump’s permission to search his property, according to the four people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a sensitive investigation.
Prosecutors ultimately prevailed in that dispute, one of several previously unreported clashes in a tense tug of war between two arms of the Justice Department over how aggressively to pursue a criminal investigation of a former president. The FBI conducted an unprecedented raid on Aug. 8, recovering more than 100 classified items, among them a document describing a foreign government’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities.”
Starting in May, FBI agents in the Washington field office had sought to slow the probe, urging caution given its extraordinary sensitivity, the people said.
Some of those field agents wanted to shutter the criminal investigation altogether in early June, after Trump’s legal team asserted a diligent search had been conducted and all classified records had been turned over, according to some people with knowledge of the discussions.
The idea of closing the probe was not something that was discussed or considered by FBI leadership and would not have been approved, a senior law enforcement official said.
This account reveals for the first time the degree of tension among law enforcement officials and behind-the-scenes deliberations as they wrestled with a national security case that has potentially far-reaching political consequences.
The disagreements stemmed in large part from worries among officials that whatever steps they took in investigating a former president would face intense scrutiny and second-guessing by people inside and outside the government. However, the agents, who typically perform the bulk of the investigative work in cases, and the prosecutors, who guide agents’ work and decide on criminal charges, ultimately focused on very different pitfalls, according to people familiar with their discussions.”
On one side, federal prosecutors in the department’s national security division advocated aggressive ways to secure some of the country’s most closely guarded secrets, which they feared Trump was intentionally hiding at Mar-a-Lago; on the other, FBI agents in the Washington field office urged more caution with such a high-profile matter, recommending they take a cooperative rather than confrontational approach.
Both sides were mindful of the intense scrutiny the case was drawing and felt they had to be above reproach while investigating a former president then expected to run for reelection. While trying to follow the Justice Department playbook for classified records probes, investigators on both sides braced for Trump to follow his own playbook of publicly attacking the integrity of their investigation, according to people with knowledge of their discussions.
The FBI agents’ caution also was rooted in the fact that mistakes in prior probes of Hillary Clinton and Trump had proved damaging to the FBI, and the cases subjected the bureau to sustained public attacks from partisans, the people said.
Me: They didn’t storm the castle when it was first found out he had the documents. They fucked around with trump for over a year asking nicely for him to return something he shouldn’t have.
Prosecutors countered that the FBI failing to treat Trump as it had other government employees who were not truthful about classified records could threaten the nation’s security. As evidence surfaced suggesting that Trump or his team was holding back sensitive records, the prosecutors pushed for quick action to recover them, according to the people familiar with the discussions.”
