DoJ Releases Info Concerning Document Search at Mar-A-Lago

[Webster]

(The Guardian) In a stunning overnight court filing in Florida, the justice department has laid out in great detail their conclusions from the FBI search on the former president’s Palm Beach residence earlier this month that garnered a trove of highly classified documents and government records he had no business having.

Among the remarkable findings: some of the documents were found in Trump’s desk drawer; it was “likely” efforts had been made to move and hide them; Trump’s representatives had falsely asserted all documents were returned to the US government when they hadn’t; and that Trump’s team had obstructed and delayed at every opportunity efforts to retrieve them.

The cherry on the cake, so to speak, was a photograph accompanying the filing, redacted but showing a variety of documents and folders, at least six marked secret or top secret, laid out on the floor of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago mansion.

Before we get stuck into the reaction coming in over last night’s bombshell justice department filing into former president Donald Trump’s retention of classified documents after he left office, here’s a look at the 36-page document itself.

(The Guardian) Reaction to the justice department’s filing over Donald Trump’s retention of classified documents came swiftly, and brutally, on Wednesday.

Conservative commentator George Conway, husband of Trump’s former senior adviser Kellyanne Conway, said it was “insanity” that the ex-president’s legal team had gone to a court seeking the appointment of a “special master” to oversee the inquiry, knowing it would likely reveal publicly much of what investigators knew.

“Basically they asked for the justice department to punch them in the face. And that’s what the justice department did in this in this brief,” he told CNN.

“They talk about obstruction... these documents were moved around from room to room. And they actually show us the certification. I don’t think we’ve seen that before, the certification from Trump’s lawyers that said ‘hey, there were no more documents, no more classified documents’ last year in response to a subpoena.

"They certified that’s it: ‘There’s all the responsive documents we have, and it turned out there were no documents anywhere other than in storage rooms.’

“It turned out there were documents at his office. They were documents all over the place, and tons of them. This factual recitation has him dead to rights. There’s just no question about it, and it explains a lot today about why we’re seeing Donald Trump ‘truthing out’ on his social media platform that’s failing. He was basically just freaking out all day and the reason is this.”

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Hilarious, they actually believe this from our piece of shit corrupt fbi is going to make a difference in this election and when Trump runs again.
