Was the story a couple of weeks ago not that Fox News was turning its back on Trump?
Like an old man trying to steal soup from a deli for attention
According to Bannon et al yeah. They're name dropping anyone with ties to the Jewish community as conspirators against MAGA too.
He's saying that to avoid confusion with those other well known Barrack Obama's obviously 👍🏻
bananas
Radio silence on any potential motion to block the release. So we should see that sometime potentially in the next hour.
WSJ reporting some info on the 20 boxes of documents seized by the FBI:
FBI Recovered Eleven Sets of Classified Documents in Trump Search, Inventory Shows
TFG's lawyers are claiming he declassified them (some are marked Top Secret), but there's a process for that that's more than just saying so.
"The Federal Bureau of Investigation agents took around 20 boxes of items, binders of photos, a handwritten note and the executive grant of clemency for Mr. Trump’s ally Roger Stone, a list of items removed from the property shows. Also included in the list was information about the “President of France,” according to the three-page list. The list is contained in a seven-page document that also includes the warrant to search the premises which was granted by a federal magistrate judge in Florida."
SCI must be only processed, stored, used or discussed in a sensitive compartmented information facility.
Which reminds me:
Which combined with:
Is another oh **** moment: is the reason some of this stuff got leaked because the Republicans leaked them? Oh ****..
Still very quiet on here from the folks who were still supporting him....
To recap,
When Trump lost the election, many deleted their accounts
When Jan 6 happened, even more deleted their accounts
After this, I bet a few more will delete their accounts
And the rest run afoul of civility rules and get banned from discussion, even though personal attacks don't make Trump less fcuked than he is.
The GOP has effectively canceled all their complaining about the warrant, canceled pressers they had scheduled to amplify their persecution complex - and have pivoted to a spending bill that will "Arm the IRS" with 87,000 new hires over 10 years and appropriate funds for them to purchase just 4,500 guns, among many other measures in the bill.
Remember earlier in the Spring when Spygate was the worst thing to happen since the Holocaust? They just go from one persecution to the next, forgetting the last. "Spygate! Spyg- what's that, WOKE DISNEY?! Stop the Presses!"
Everything in between that: a bunch of dangerous messaging trying to encourage more Stochastic Terrorism against judges and the FBI.
Statement from the national archives just released:
August 12, 2022, statement
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) assumed exclusive legal and physical custody of Obama Presidential records when President Barack Obama left office in 2017, in accordance with the Presidential Records Act (PRA). NARA moved approximately 30 million pages of unclassified records to a NARA facility in the Chicago area where they are maintained exclusively by NARA. Additionally, NARA maintains the classified Obama Presidential records in a NARA facility in the Washington, DC, area. As required by the PRA, former President Obama has no control over where and how NARA stores the Presidential records of his Administration.
Actually, more than Fox News, I thought the story was supposed to be that Murdoch was distancing himself from Trump, and therefore also the media outlets he controls including Fox News and the New York Post who published an editorial decrying Trump and his movement. Is Murdoch or is Murdoch not trying to distance himself from Trump or is that all just overblown?
Who knows, there is certainly a bunch of bullshit erupting from bullshit mountain though.
What is this? You mean the Donald is putting out false statements that are wrong and bear no relation to reality? Surely not!
so He's under investigation for violating the espionage act
and
18 USC 2071 — Concealment, removal or mutilation
18 USC 793 — Gathering, transmitting or losing defence information
18 USC 1519 — Destruction, alteration or falsification of records in Federal investigations
Trump apparently leaked the warrant to Breitbart. The DOJ had sought to redact or shield the names of agents involved. Trump took no caution. The Breitbart article has names of agents, which obviously puts a target on their back. Reprehensible. Trump needs to be stopped. Enough. (this is from a tweet)
Oh and lets not forget that Trumps Lawyer was on Fox telling everyone that trump etc were watching via the CCTV during the search (no sure how they could have planted stuff)
True, my bad
Apparently he is on one on truth social (not sure how true it is)
Please someone line up all his last 48 hours of statements, because it's everything we said it would be from "I didn't do it... and eveen if"
so they have formally agreed to it (but apparently trump released them to Breitbart earlier today)
I thought Former Presidents were still entitled to classified material? George Bush senior was very big into receiving top level Intel briefings when out of office.
So.... not in a country club?
I'm presuming Trump's claim that all the documents were declassified is akin to Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy in The Office by just shouting "I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY"
this is getting juicy
some of the classification of the docs
SCI basically means they are to be read in a scif so certainly not in a resort in palm beach
yep pretty much.
I seen something earlier that someone was saying that as the president has ultimate say that he can essentially say in his head I'm declassifying these and not actually need to tell anyone (yes we know this is horseshit but apparently this was from someone in trumps circle)
Seeing tweets that Trump (or his team) sent a copy of the warrant to Brietbart, but without redacting the FBI agents names that are on it. If those names get out there will likely be threats made against them.
The king of whataboutery strikes again! Which interestingly enough, is an old Soviet propaganda tool.
The information he reportedly took includes SCI
SCI are documents that are specially compartmentalized. They are not scanned or copied, they are not stored electronically. The Nuclear Energy Act provides that no POTUS can unilaterally waive SCI classification on nuclear secrets. Ergo, the DOJ can exhaustively demonstrate that 1) Trump had these documents checked out 2) They were never returned 3) they were never decompartmentalized or declassified 4) they were found in the search of Mar a Lago.
Why do you think they did it? They have already used violence, intimidation, insurrection and even murder, GQP 2022.
They retain their security clearance but a) they don't need to have access to this stuff, which is a requirement to access it and b) they're certainly not entitled to keep it at their country club in Florida.
They are some scumbags
