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

[QP!]

He declassified them.

Except he did and this a lie.

It is Trumps own White House who prove that a lie based on precedent. Mark Meadows and Trumps own WH counsel, he sent in to court 3 times to say

- 'even when Trump says something is declassified or writes something is declassified, it is not UNLESS Trump and the WH actually follow thru and do the REQUIRED process to actually declassify them. If we do not, then all the material remains classified'.


Read that again and understand it. Trump had his own team go in to court 3 times to stop journalists getting material via FOIA that Trump had stated on TV or wrote on Twitter that he had declassified them. In all 3 court cases when the Trump admin did not want to hand that material over to the media, they argues successfully in court that Trumps words alone or writing alone was not in FACT sufficient to declassify them. And they WON in court all three times. The court found none of them were declassified and the media could not have them.

That is with clear statements from Trump they were declassified but with no process follow thru they were not.


- James Madison Project v. U.S. Dep't of Justice
- LEOPOLD et al v. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE et al, No. 1:2019cv01278 - Document 86 (D.D.C. 2020)
- The New York Times, et al., v. Central Intelligence Agency




In this current instance there is no statement, no writing, just a claim he COULD declassify with NO PROCESS followed. Much weaker than above when Trump himself sent Mark Meadows to block the Media getting the info having Mark Meadows argue in court, just because POTUS said it or wrote it DOES NOT mean it is actually declassified as he DID NOT do the follow on required steps.

And in each case the Trump WH team won in court, saying Trumps words and writings were NOT enough and thus nothing, in FACT, was declassified.

The president has the power to declassify, he said he declassified them.

Trump says he declassified Mar-a-Lago documents. ...

Aug 12, 2022 — Allies of former President Donald Trump say that any sensitive White House documents he brought with him to his Mar-a-Lago estate had been declassified.

Stop lying.

Having 'the power' does not mean he used the power properly.

He DID NOT. See post above and stop lying.

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 obvious to all but the diehard Trumpanzees (like pEarl who gave you one of his impotent groans) that the #TreasonousTyrant deliberately stole the documents and intended to keep them.

Did they move them to Brandons garage?

No, they didn't, move the documents to Biden's garage, but they did move them to Mar-a-Lago.

Anthony Weiner, the pervert, had Hillary’s classified documents on his computer.

No prosecution…equal treatment under the law.

Anthony Weiner — the former New York congressman whose career and marriage were wrecked by sexting scandals — sobbed Monday as a federal judge sentenced him to nearly two years in prison for X-rated communication with a 15-year-old girl.

No, they didn't, move the documents to Biden's garage, but they did move them to Mar-a-Lago.

How did they get to Brandons garage?

[Trumpet]

So fucking what? They were his property.

[Trumpet]

How did they get to Brandons garage?

I think that you've got your events mixed up.

[ExpressLane]

It's all on audio tape sweetie, in Trumps own words. Thats about as devastating as you can get.

So NOW you believe Trump.

[Doc Dutch]

So NOW you believe Trump.

Are you claiming Pedo Don lied, Dr. Melon-picker?

[floridafan]

So NOW you believe Trump.

Kinda hard not to believe what he records on tape.

[Doc Dutch]

Kinda hard not to believe what he records on tape.

It also proves Pedo Don's arrogant stupidity. Is it any wonder so many JPP Trumpers follow him?
