If we don’t ask the hard questions about the potential motives of the FBI now, soon any one of us who buries our ex-wife in a small grave at the side of their golf course in order to gain a tax concession will be treated with suspicion.

The Washington Post: FBI searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence for classified nuclear documents


By Paul LeBlanc, CNN

Updated: Fri, 12 Aug 2022 04:30:14 GMT

Source: CNN

The FBI sought to locate classified documents related to nuclear weapons, among other items, when agents searched former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, this week, people familiar with the investigation told The Washington Post.

The people did not offer additional details to the Post about "what type of information the agents were seeking" or whether any such documents were recovered, according to the paper.

The revelation adds key context to the Justice Department's extraordinary decision to search the home of a former president.

As CNN previously reported, the criminal investigation started with concerns about missing documents raised by the National Archives, which made a criminal referral to the Justice Department upon discovering highly sensitive documents among the materials retrieved from Mar-a-Lago in January. The 15 boxes contained some materials that were part of special access programs (SAP), a classification that includes protocols to significantly limit who would have access to the information, according to a source familiar with what the Archives discovered in the boxes. That led to FBI interviews with aides to grand jury subpoenas to this week's court-authorized search and seizure of documents.

Though Attorney General Merrick Garland has declined to share specific details about the search, he said Thursday that he "personally approved" the decision to seek a warrant for the search of Trump's Florida home.

"The department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken," Garland said in a news conference.

The attorney general also said that the Justice Department had filed a request in court that the search warrant and property receipt from the search be unsealed.

Trump said in a late-night post on his Truth Social platform Thursday that he would "not oppose the release of documents," adding, "I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents."

CNN reported earlier Thursday that Trump and his legal team had not yet reached a decision on how to respond to the Justice Department's motion, according to a source familiar with their thinking.

Since the search, top congressional Republicans have rushed to Trump's defense, casting the move as politically motivated. The former President has denied all wrongdoing, claiming the investigation is intended to derail his potential bid to return to the White House.

In a pair of posts to Truth Social following Garland's statement, Trump continued to claim that his attorneys were "cooperating fully" and had developed "very good relationships" with federal investigators prior to Monday's search at Mar-a-Lago.

The search warrant had been authorized by a federal court, Garland said.

"It is a federal crime to remove classified documents wrongly. And so if you are filling out that affidavit and you have to list the crime, you can list that as the crime," said Elie Honig, a former federal and state prosecutor and a CNN senior legal analyst, following the search warrant.

This story has been updated with additional information Friday.

Fuck Trump the GOP!

GOP donor pool unexpectedly shrinks as midterms near

In nine out of the 10 most competitive U.S. Senate races this cycle, Democrats have outraised their Republican counterparts. Fundraising alone does not decide elections, of course. Outside groups — often funded by deep-pocketed donors — can close some of the gaps for Republicans. But even those well-funded super PACs and nonprofits have finite resources, and the low online fundraising numbers have alarmed GOP professionals.

Prediction: GOP will declare that only money from rich doners equals free speech.

He doesn't have a narrative. He has "talking" points fed to him by the Fox Box. Perhaps he thinks that by repeating all of this nonsense he'll someday be allowed to actually fellate Donald Trump.

No, this sounds more like Q.  And Fox hates the Donald now as the Murdoch family are solid members of the GOP and they're towing the party line.
