Eric Trump reveals HE told Donald FBI raided Mar-a-Lago: Ex-President's son claims agents 'ransacked

It's as if we have to keep repeating the same message over and over

 

You know it's a game they're playing. Or they're trying to convince themselves.

It's obvious that any ordinary person in the same situation would have been in jail for months already. The DoJ/FBI are walking on eggshells here.

Yet, they might never put Trump in jail for fear of insurrection.

 

Anyone familiar with this sequence of events 3 yrs ago?

Trump spoke w/ Putin on 7/31/19

Trump requested a list of top US spies on 8/3/19

Russia published the name & biography of a man living w/ his wife & kids near DC on 9/10/19

Meanwhile, Trump’s “promise” to a foreign leader triggered an urgent whistleblower complaint on 8/12/19

Did Trump promise to tell Putin the identity(ies) of one or more US spies? “Trump’s interaction w/ the foreign leader included a ‘promise’ that was regarded as so troubling that it prompted an official in the U.S. IC to file a formal whistleblower complaint...” 1/ #Whistleblower

A preview of likely points in DOJ’s response to Judge Cannon re the Special Master.

1) there is no such thing as a SM for classified documents
2) there is no such thing as a SM for Executive Privilege documents
3) even if there was, it would all be in camera and ex parte.

And it’s not Trump’s executive privilege as he is not the President.

"Judge says she has preliminary intent to appoint special master to oversee Mar-a-Lago search review"
Source: CNN Politics

"(CNN) A federal judge scheduled a hearing for Thursday to consider former President Donald Trump's request for a "special master" to oversee the FBI's review of evidence seized at Mar-a-Lago. In doing so, the court put the parties on notice that she had a "preliminary intent" to appoint the special master, a third-party attorney who would filter out privileged material seized in the search.

Ahead of the hearing, the government faces a Tuesday deadline to respond to Trump's request in writing, according to the scheduling order from the court. US District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was nominated to the bench by Trump in 2020, is asking the Department of Justice to file a public response, and additionally file under seal records going into greater detail about what was seized from the search as well as a notice laying out the status of the review of the seized materials, including the process of filtering out privileged information.

Trump's reply to DOJ's response is due Wednesday. The hearing will be at 1 p.m. ET Thursday at the courthouse in West Palm Beach. Cannon said at the end of the order that it should not be construed as her final decision on the matter. On Friday, Trump responded to Cannon's request that he elaborate on his request for the special master by pointing to some additional legal discussion of case law that he said supported his request.

Cannon had identified several shortcomings in his Monday filing requesting more oversight.

“If you want to influence Trump, you got to be the last guy he talks to,”

Steve Bannon:

 

Fine........but I doubt this Special Master is gonna find anything given Humpty claims he has/had nothing naughty. I wonder what is meant by the term 'privileged material' generally, and specifically given Humpty has reckoned just about everything he has including* the dunny paper at Mar-a Lago is privileged.

 

The fbi affidavit says they KNEW he had those documents before June. Why didn’t they take them in June?

 

Bahahahahah his filing system is what you all think you got him for? Bahahahah

 

That’s preposterous. Your argument is the fbi KNEW he had top secret classified materials and they had a subpoena for documents but those top secret classified materials weren’t on the subpoena? You can’t be serious right now.

 

Except the affidavit says they DID know. So claiming the same stupidly incorrect thing over and over isn’t going to do you any favors.

 

When are you going to post you version of the time line of relevant events? Too hard, is it?

 

Because I have no reason to post a complete timeline of events. The first meeting has absolutely nothing to do with the argument I’m making. What’s the purpose of talking about their first interactions with him when it has nothing to do with what we are discussing?

And no it’s not hard. Anyone can just google “timeline of mar a lago raid” and find that.

 

They took the subpoenaed documents.

 

Then why didn’t they take these classified materials that the affidavit makes clear they KNEW he had before the June meeting? I guess they weren’t that important huh? Or else they were trying to set him up.

 

Oh I have done that Elde Fruit. I doubt you have. So...here ya go.

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/08/09/politics/doj-investigation-trump-documents-timeline/index.html

 

Read my link to the time line and learn the facts.

 

What do you think that’s going to show me to disprove my point?

 

Did you read it or are you not interested in facts?

 

From your source:

“The four investigators meet with Trump's attorneys and look around the basement room where the documents are being stored. Trump briefly stops by the meeting to say hello to the officials, but he does not answer any questions. During the meeting, the federal officials deal with the grand jury subpoena for some of the sensitive national security documents on the premises, and they take away the subpoenaed documents. At some point later in June, a Trump lawyer sends a letter to the Justice Department inaccurately asserting that there aren't any more classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.”

Now I’ll ask you again. The documents were there, according to the affidavit for the warrant the FBI KNEW they were there PRIOR to the June meeting, so why didn’t they take them in June?

The ONLY reasonable explanation is that they were setting him up for this politicized raid.

 

Lol…maga could have started whining in June.

 

Because Trump hid some of the documents from them.
They seem to not know exactly which documents Trump had taken.
And their subpoena apparently didn't give authority to do a search.
Trump lied about it in June.
You're avoiding the obvious.

 

That’s preposterous. The affidavit EXPLICITLY STATES they knew those top secret docs were there before the June meeting.

Why didn’t they take them? The idea he hid them and they didn’t verify which documents they took is completely absurd. The FBI doesn’t show up with a subpoena for docs and just trust they’re given what is on the subpoena.

It was OBVIOUSLY a set up. Why else would they KNOWINGLY leave documents with some of the highest classifications in government in an insecure place and then show up two months later in a raid for those EXACT same documents they knew were there prior that they could have taken but they left?

 

A subpoena doesn’t give the FBI the right to TAKE anything that isn’t handed over. It is an order to the person named to hand over certain things. If they refuse or claim that certain things aren’t covered by the subpoena, the FBI isn’t allowed to seize anything. They aren’t allowed to “verify” anything.

The only thing they can do, if they aren’t satisfied, is obtain a search warrant. Which is what they did.

 

So your assertion is that the FBI KNEW that some of the most classified documents in the us government were sitting at an insecure place and it took them two months to request a search warrant even AFTER they had already provided sufficient evidence to obtain a subpoena for the documents, served it and recovered documents from the site and KNEW they still didn’t have the documents?

That’s either complete rubbish or malfeasance on the part of the FBI.

 

I didn’t say that. I was simply explaining to you the limitations that are inherent in a subpoena.
