FBI raid Trump's residence with criminal search warrant

In politics, Trump can get away with lying because his gullible supporters don't care.  But in court, there are consequences for false statements.  No evidence of FBI planting documents at Trump home as he claims.  So requesting a special master appears to be backfiring since judge challenges Trump to prove his case.

Trump is a pathological liar.  I wonder if he will be able to control himself if he takes the witness (in his case "witless") stand, or will his incompetent lawyers (the good ones have refused to work for someone they regard as guilty) repeatedly advise him to plead the Fifth Amendment to avoid certain self-incrimination.

not looking good for the bad guys 

No argument with that fact.

Trump employee tells FBI
about suspicious Trump directive

CNN ¡ª

A Trump employee has told the FBI about being directed
by the former President to move boxes out of a basement
storage room to his residence at Mar-a-Lago after Donald
Trump¡¯s legal team received a subpoena for any classified
documents at the Florida estate.

The FBI also has surveillance footage showing 
      a staffer moving boxes out of the storage room.

The witness account of Trump¡¯s actions AFTER the subpoena
was served in May, coupled with the footage, could be key
to the federal *CRIMINAL* investigation that¡¯s looking into
a range of potential crimes, including obstruction, destruction
of government records and mishandling of classified information.

Initially that employee lied about moving the boxes at trump's direction in a means to coverup the evidence but later he told the truth.

@fubah2

 Crazy that when he/she lied, the Mar A Lardo employee feared the POS more than the FBI.

Welp, that figures. I don't see this ending well for the fascist former president.

Yeah.  The FBI would merely detain him/her for questioning, but the more immediate threat would be retaliation form the POS - and a mob boss is entirely unpredictable in that case.

The traitor must testify in the rape of Jean Carroll.

Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ruled on Wednesday that the former president must answer questions under oath in relation to the allegations made by magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll.

I saw a better term for it - a national security attorney described him as a ¡°perjury machine¡± in a quote on background to WaPo

Theft of US top secret documents

CNN ¡ª

Justice Department officials have demanded in recent weeks to former President Donald Trump¡¯s attorneys that he return any outstanding documents marked as classified, making clear they do not believe he has returned all materials taken when he left the White House.

The Justice officials ¨C including Jay Bratt, a top lawyer in the Department of Justice¡¯s national security division ¨C have communicated to Trump¡¯s attorneys that he has an ongoing obligation to return the documents marked as classified.

The New York Times first reported on the outreach.

Whether the FBI rounded up all of the sensitive federal records in Trump¡¯s possession during its August 8 search of his Florida residence and resort is a question that¡¯s loomed over the situation in recent weeks.
In numerous court filings, prosecutors indicated they had concerns that classified records were possibly still missing

So Trump could still be hiding some top secret government documents at his residence?

Yes.   Then there is this rather important item:

"If Trump is charged with one of the statutes that federal
investigators are examining in the Mar-a-Lago documents
probe, it might pose the most serious test yet to the
constitutional question.

One of the laws implicated in that Justice Department¡¯s
Mar-a-Lago criminal investigation, a federal statute that
criminalizes the concealment or removal of government
records, said that those found guilty ¡°shall forfeit his
office and be disqualified from holding any office
under the United States.¡±

in which case he would b screwed

but u know chump    he will use the legal system to string that out of rseveral years 

As we speak.   Stay tuned on his further attempts to evade justice.

More classified documents found in Trump's possession

Two documents with classified markings were found in Donald Trump's Florida storage unit during a search by a team hired by former President Donald Trump¡¯s lawyers, a person familiar with the situation told CNN.

Those documents were handed over to the FBI.  The discovery of the documents was first reported by The Washington Post.

The team of two searched Trump Tower in New York, the Bedminster golf club, an office location in Florida, and the storage unit where the two documents were found and where the General Services Administration had shipped Trump¡¯s belongings after he left the White House.

The four searches came amid lingering concerns from the Justice Department that not all documents had been returned to the federal government.  The searches were overseen by Trump¡¯s legal team

Justice Department seeking to hold Trump in contempt over classified documents

Special Counsel has a fair bit of authority overlooking this criminal activity and it's said this one is the most likely by which Trump will be indicted and most likely convicted.  He literally has no credible defense.

word is theyre expecting an update on progress within 2 wks

if biden is guilty of a crime   then they should get a legal search warrant and check his other offices and residence as well

nobody is above the law !

if   hes guilty

i say they should hold a thorough investigation by FBI and HSA without bias along with that chump-appointed attorney already assigned to look into it

if guilty of a crime   prosecute him !!!!

still no update on charges against the fascist traitor who incited a deadly insurrection resulting from his big lie ?
