No Senate to protect him. When folks talk about him 'getting away with everything' I always remind them he was impeached twice. The only and only! reason he didn't get got was because impeachment is a 2 step process. Impeachment starts at the House then gets sent to the Senate to convict. The Senate chose not to convict twice not because he was innocent but because of political loyalty to their voter base.

We are in unchartered territory. If you are scared nothing will happen at this point you are in the 'Dems weak' category of folks even though Democrats have been after this dude for his bs ever since he started with it.

Even Trump is scared. The reason he wanted reelection is because he knew the Feds wanted him and were waiting in the wings.

Here's the problem, if the FEDS indict him before the election, we run the risk of losing the House...or we gamble with Trump basically trying to amp his people up which drives the counter-vote against him

Trump had Mar a Lago looking like Whitney Houston's bathroom

 

[levitate]

Yeah, there’s real crime committed here. At the very least his lawyers who signed off saying that there was no more classified materials are getting fukked.

 

[levitate]

Honestly it’s kinda sad reading that.

Dude has major issues.

The fukk are you talking about? Abortion and the dobbs issue is squarely on the ballot… Republicans are losing the house regardless

Seems clear that the tv host Trump hired to represent him, Christina Bobb, is going to jail for obstruction and lying in written statement unless she snitches. She signed the documents back in January stating that all confidential/top secret/classified. Unless she testifies that Trump told her to lie...

I have read the entire Government filing. I spend all day, every day, litigating against the Government, so some of this is familiar stuff to see. This particular brief is very well-done.

Here are the highlights:

1) The facts. NARA negotiated in 2021 for the missing

records. They finally got 15 boxes. After going through them and finding all kinds of classified records (not organized at all), they raised the alarm. They wanted to make a referral to the FBI but had to first consult with Trump's team, per the PRA procedure. Trump's team

delayed for weeks and weeks, and never substantively responded. Finally, NARA told Trump's team they were making the referral and rejected the "protective" assertion of Executive Privilege.

2) At no time did Trump's legal team file an action *at that point* to prevent the

referral to FBI.

3) The FBI reviewed the records and the criminal inquiry was opened. A grand jury subpoena was issued to Trump's team. Again, they delayed and delayed in complying. Finally, in early June they agreed to a meeting at MAL to comply. They turned over more

classified records, and swore out a statement that they had done a diligent search, they had not found any more classified records, and any records that remained were in the storage room. They refused to let the FBI agents look at the boxes in the storage room.

4) The FBI gathered new evidence that there were in fact more classified records at MAL, including in locations outside of the storage room. They got the search warrant and found approximately 100 additional classified records, some located in Trump's own office.

5) That is

straight up obstruction and concealment of classified records, and willfully retaining them in an unauthorized location.

6) Now come the legal arguments. First, DOJ says Trump lacks standing. The records are not his: they are the property of the US. Even if he wanted to claim

them as personal records, he never did so. He did not do so in 2021, he did not do so when subpoenaed, he never did it. He has no possessory interest in the records.

7) Second, they argue Trump is not entitled to any injunctive relief. Again, these are not his records, he

waited way too long to even try to stop the FBI from getting the records, he's not entitled to relief given Executive Privilege would not apply, and even if it did the criminal investigative need outweighs it.

8) Third, the Special Master is moot. The A/C privilege records

were already separated and are set to be evaluated by the magistrate. The records Trump claims are covered by EP are not his anyway, and the Nixon precedents make clear he cannot invoke it to override the need to conduct a criminal investigation.

9) To sum it up, Trump took

PLAINLY MARKED classified records to MAL, he delayed, obstructed and resisted Government efforts to recover them, he (or his staff) concealed the records from investigators, and they got caught doing so.

Keep your passports in a desk drawer with classified documents, brehs.

Trump's Seized Passports Kept in Same Desk Drawer as Classified Documents

In an August 30 court filing, the agency said the former president's claim the FBI agents had improperly taken three of his passports while looking for sensitive material removed from the White House at his Florida home is "incorrect."

The Department of Justice explained that the passports were seized by the FBI as they were held in a desk drawer in Trump's office which also included classified documents, and therefore within the scope of the search warrant and relevant to the investigation.

"The government seized the contents of a desk drawer that contained classified documents and governmental records commingled with other documents," prosecutors wrote.

Even the most naive Democrat knows that Republicans back in power means Trump goes free, so an indictment will motivate them too
