Trump workers moved Mar-a-Lago boxes a day before Justice Dept. came for documents

[BidenPresident]

Two of Donald Trump’s employees moved boxes of papers the day before FBI agents and a prosecutor visited the former president’s Florida home to retrieve classified documents in response to a subpoena — timing that investigators have come to view as suspicious and an indication of possible obstruction, according to people familiar with the matter.

Trump and his aides also allegedly carried out a “dress rehearsal” for moving sensitive papers even before his office received the May 2022 subpoena, according to the people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a sensitive ongoing investigation.

It's the classified material problem that is most likely to nail Trump. There's a lot of layers between him and the domestic terrorists on 1/6. Prosecutors would have to provide a smoking gun, such as Donnie Jr. in a video telling the militias how to attack. The classified material case is easier to prove in court.

Trump was stealing them, so why would he want to make them available to the FBI?

Yes, he knew what he did was illegal.

Yes, he knew what he did was illegal.

Agreed. If he thought what he did was legal, he'd be showing them on Twitter saying he'd declassified them by thinking about it.

It's all about trumps intent, and that was to keep the documents and never return them. Who did he show them to, who did he give them to. It comes right down to the Espionage act.

Which explains why Trump's lawyers, and anyone who helped Trump commit crimes, should be worried.

Key Trump defense in Mar-a-Lago doc case 'off the table' after new revelations: former prosecutor

ppearing on MSNBC on Saturday morning, former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade explained how a report from the Washington Post that DOJ investigators now have evidence that Mar-a-Lago employees working for Donald Trump knowingly hid documents from the FBI will ultimately cripple his attorney's defense options if the former president is indicted as expected.

With reports that the former president's legal team is preparing him for another day in court on possible obstruction and espionage charges, McQuade said that -- if the Post report is accurate -- things just took a turn for the worse for Trump.

"Well, that reporting wouldn't really catch the eye of a prosecutor because it suggests potential for obstruction of justice," McQuade told "The Saturday Show" host Jonathan Capehart.

"When prosecutors are considering pressing charges for the mishandling of classified documents, they're typically looking for some aggravating factor beyond an innocent mistake," she elaborated. "And so here, if they really were moving boxes the day before they knew the Justice Department was coming to visit to look at them, that could suggest that they were trying to conceal or interfere with the case."

So fucking what? They were his property.

Since when do highly classified government documents become trumps personal property?

Since when do highly classified government documents become trumps personal property?

When Trumpers say they do.

[QP!]

So fucking what? They were his property.

Except for the fact that they were not his property and that they belong to the goverment.

So there is that.

[Nordberg]

Did they move them to Brandons garage?

[Nordberg]

So fucking what? They were his property.

They belong to the people and are overseen by the Archives. No, they were not his. Thts fucking what.
