They Scared
quote:

To justify the unprecedented raid on a former president's residence and protect the source who revealed the existence of Trump's private hoard, agents went into Trump's residence on the pretext that they were seeking all government documents, says one official who has been involved in the investigation. But the true target was this private stash, which Justice Department officials feared Donald Trump might weaponize....

quote:

"I know it is hard for people to understand that the classification of the documents was not the main concern per se," says one of the high-level government officials. "It is Donald Trump's potential law-breaking that is the focus. That applies to the Records Act stuff. As for his private stash? I don't know what that material is, but Justice was alarmed that Trump was planning to keep his possession secret."

But in the course of its investigation, the FBI and Justice became aware of Trump's private collection. As Newsweek previously reported, a confidential human source revealed that the former president wasn't planning to divulge that he had possession of some of his own documents and that he did not intend to return them.

Trump administration officials, including former national security advisor John Bolton, have described how the president regularly tore out pages from intelligence reports, or took away documents which interested him to his White House residence....

The FBI could actually do some good work if they didn’t have to constantly cover up their own bullshite.

If John Bolton is a source in the affidavit, we can all agree that it’s based on complete lies and fabrications.

Call it hoard, stash, collection or whatever I think we can all agree that Trump should not have any of this upon leaving office.

What critical files do you think the FBI might plant at MAL?

Should he not have these, too?!

In what universe should any private citizen be denied evidence of a nameless crime from which he was exonerated?

I fricking hate these ppl.

Trump DECLASSIFIED IT -
He could publish it in the New York Times if he wanted.

Not that the Deep state hasn’t actually done that with classified info.

He should not have the information that could prove all the lies being trumpeted 24/7 by the Democrat media - the lies that hobbled his administration for its full tenure - the lies that led to 2 impeachment hoaxes and one Special Prosecutor investigation - the lies that are still being trumpeted daily by the Jan6 cabal???

that data?? needs to be under the total control of the liars??

It sure is sickening how people are so easily multiplied by the fbi and cia. These assholes will create any scenario they want to fit their actions and narratives.

How people can’t see that amazes me.

fricking sheep.

Why should they be worried. The Spygate and PeachMints were done by the book without any Phukery right?

Obviously they don't want their means and methods exposed or their disregard for the law and decency. I don't know what we will ever be able to do about them. If for some reason they indict Trump and take him to trail before 2024, they will move on to libeling and slandering DeSantis or whomever else.

Let us raid Mobamas stash/hoard and compare and contrast what should be kept and what should be given up.

Because, you know, precedent and stuff.

Moreover have the Washington post and New York times print it all on their dead tree editions and give it to the unwashed masses.
Let "THE AMERICAN PEOPLE" decide what should be done about the situation.

Because democracy and stuff.

No one including you has any idea what “this” is other than media innuendo

Trump made a mistake not declassifying this stuff and putting it all out to the public before he left office…

Just like he made the mistake of putting swampers in his cabinet…

Official records, portion-marked classified documents - no need to play coy.
