FBI search warrant executed at Mar-a-Lago (Update: Trump Indicted!)

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/08/politics/doj-trump-contempt-classified-documents/index.html

The Justice Department is asking a federal judge to hold Donald Trump in contempt of court for failing to comply with a subpoena issued this summer ordering the former president to turn over records marked classified, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

The development comes after Trump’s legal team said it conducted searches at four locations just before Thanksgiving, finding two documents with classified markings at a storage facility in Florida. The Trump team turned over those two documents to the FBI and announced to a federal judge in Washington, DC, that they believed Trump was now in compliance with a 6-month-old subpoena.

But the Justice Department disagreed. And in an escalation last week, department prosecutors told DC District Chief Judge Beryl Howell, who oversees federal grand jury proceedings there, that the searches weren’t satisfactory. The contempt proceedings before Howell are under seal.

Trump says everything should be returned. 🙄

Under the Presidential Records Act and the very well established Clinton Socks Case, the raid of Mar-a-Lago by the FBI, and the taking of documents and many other items, was ILLEGAL. Everything should be returned, at once!

Head of criminal organization demands immediate return of evidece and loot.

Good. Hopefully he goes to jail for this too, as a little appetizer.
But that excerpt is interesting - does it mean the DoJ thinks that there are yet more documents out there?

It probably means that there are classified documents that were in Trump's custody in the White House per inventory lists or logs or whatever, which are still missing. This could all be resolved if Trump would just fess up that he destroyed those documents, or handed them over to Putin, or whatever.

I agree that there must have been someone responsible for logs (inventory lists) that clearly say that certain documents went directly to donald trump (into the Oval Office), and did not come back-out.
I can not imagine that there were no (very strong) internal controls in place, to protect these vital and very secretive documents that our federal government is responsible for. Tracking were every single document is/was (who last possessed, or someone higher-up who demanded to keep it) must be recorded.

While there doubtless were such policies pre-Trump, would it really be surprising if the guy who tried (and failed) to flush official records down the toilet ignored them, the same way he ignored so many other laws?

Little meltdown from Trump today

Page 1. The Special “Prosecutor” assigned to the “get Trump case,” Jack Smith(?), is a Trump Hating THUG whose wife is a serial and open Trump Hater, whose friends & other family members are even worse, and as a prosecutor in Europe, according to Ric Grenell, put a high government official in prison because he was a Trump positive person. Smith is known as “an unfair Savage,” & is best friends with the craziest Trump haters, including Lisa Monaco who runs “Injustice.” The Boxes Scam is a HOAX...

Page 2. For seven years, from the day I came down the escalator in Trump Tower, the Democrat Party has WEAPONIZED the “Legal” System, using City, State, and Federal Law Enforcement against me and the Republican Party as though they were a Private Protection Agency. The greatest Witch Hunt in American History must end now. I beat the Fake Impeachments, the disgraceful Mueller Persecution, and much else that the Fake News doesn’t want to write or talk about, but this charade MUST STOP NOW!!!

Page 3. Fire a man who may very well turn out to be a criminal, Jack Smith. His conflicts, unfairness, and mental state of derangement make him totally unfit for the job of “getting Trump." Go after Biden and the Biden Crime Family instead. Like Bill Barr, the U.S. Attorneys in Delaware and Illinois are weak, ineffective, and afraid to do what must be done. The Election was RIGGED, and we are now losing our Country. We can’t let that happen. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Merrick Garland has to immediately end Special Counsel investigation into anything related to me because I did everything right, and appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Joe Biden who hates Biden as much as Jack Smith hates me.

From "truth"

It's getting more difficult to tell if he belongs in a prison cell or a padded cell.

That he still leads the GOP is a disgrace that ought to stop any decent human being from posting with a blue avatar out of overwhelming shame.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

The news hasn't spent much time on how we're now on Trump's fourth "criminal lawyer", with Trump's self-generated claim that he's about to be indicted/arrested taking up most of the oxygen in recent days. However, there is still some coverage, including the revelation that Corcoran was taping his conversations with Trump.


https://abcnews.go.com/US/sources-special-counsel-claims-trump-deliberately-misled-attorneys/story?id=98024191

Prosecutors in the special counsel's office have presented compelling preliminary evidence that former President Donald Trump knowingly and deliberately misled his own attorneys about his retention of classified materials after leaving office, a former top federal judge wrote Friday in a sealed filing, according to sources who described its contents to ABC News.

In her sealed filing, Howell ordered that Evan Corcoran, an attorney for Trump, should comply with a grand jury subpoena for testimony on six separate lines of inquiry over which he had previously asserted attorney-client privilege.

Sources added that Howell also ordered Corcoran to hand over a number of records tied to what Howell described as Trump's alleged "criminal scheme," echoing prosecutors. Those records include handwritten notes, invoices, and transcriptions of personal audio recordings.

It seems like lying to your lawyers so they'll conceal a crime you committed ought to run afoul of the law at some point.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

The appeal on Corcoran's evidence and testimony appears to have gone at the court equivalent of transluminal speed. Do we know why?

It seems possible it could be related to national security concerns, or perhaps there's some timing issue I'm unaware of, or maybe the courts are just tired of Trump's bad faith delays.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

So, I haven't been following all the ins and outs of this story, but I feel like I should ask this question sooner rather than later: Who is Corcoran? Was he the lawyer who affirmed that all the classified docs had been turned over and none were left at Mar-a-Lago?

Corcoran was a college buddy of Trumpist DoJ hack Tim Shea. That led to him unsuccessfully defending Steve Bannon from contempt of Congress and being one of many lawyers for Jan 6th defendants. When Trump started running low on lawyers willing to work for his preferred compensation - a wrecked reputation and possible criminal charges - early last year, Corcoran joined his defense team.

From there, he represented Trump to the DoJ in their efforts to recover the documents Trump stole, loyally presenting a series of legally questionable arguments to defend Trump. After the subpoena was delivered, Corcoran drafted the false declaration that Trump had returned all classified material.

For some reason, he did not sign the document he'd drafted himself, instead recruiting MAGAT lawyer Christina Bobb to step in as Trump's "custodian of records" and put her head on the block by officially lying to the DoJ. Once the declaration was determined to be false, the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago.

As Jack Smith's special prosecutor investigation got going, Corcoran invoked attorney-client privilege for questions relating to his communications with Trump. After reviewing the communications in question, federal judge Beryl Howard determined last week that Corcoran's communications with Trump were likely to have been conducted to commit or further a crime, and revoked attorney-client protections.

Corcoran and Trump immediately appealed, and the DC Court of Appeals held an incredibly swift hearing earlier this week before rejecting the appeal 3-0. Corcoran will be forced to testify, under oath, to Smith's grand jury later today.

Corcoran's testimony (and other evidence) will be key in determining if:

1) Trump lied to him about hiding stolen classified documents from the DoJ, or,

2) He conspired with Trump to hide stolen classified documents from the DoJ.

In theory, he could try to throw himself on his sword, and go with,

3) Hiding stolen classified documents from the DoJ and then lying to the DoJ about it was all his idea and Trump is innocent.

However, if Smith has evidence that proves 1 or 2, and Corcoran tries 3, then perjury will be a slam dunk.  In theory, he and Trump could try to argue they're innocent and did not deliberately conceal stolen classified documents from a subpoena, but the feds already have a fairly solid case to the contrary.

tldr; in the next 18 hours, Corcoran has to decide whether or not to throw Trump under the bus, hard, or go under it himself.

It's quite likely that this is what Trump has spent the last week trying to distract from, and not genuine concern about the the NY "lying about bribing the sex worker he cheated on Melania with" case.

MAGA (Making Attorneys Get Attorneys) -  an up-to-date list (courtesy of journalist Marcy Wheeler):

Happy Crime-Fraud Exception Day, for Those Who Celebrate

The following lawyers have all — at a minimum — appeared in subpoenas pertinent to one or another of the investigations into Donald Trump, and a surprising number have testified before grand juries, including at least three with (Executive Privilege) waivers. To be clear: Many have no legal exposure themselves, but are instead simply witnesses to the efforts made to keep Trump in line before they were replaced with lawyers who were willing to let Trump do whatever he wanted, legal or no. But some of these lawyers have had legal process served against them, and so may themselves be subjects of one or multiple investigations.

The GOP's transformation from political party to criminal enterprise/terrorist cult is almost complete.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

(Going to put this here, since it's another thing Trump stole.)

Even as he advocates more treasonous terrorism to save himself from possibly being charges for lying about bribing the sex worker he cheated on his wife with, here's a reminder that the leader of the Republican terrorist cult"party" is also a vain, petty thief.

Trump didn't just steal top secret documents when he left office. He also stole foreign gifts to the President, including a giant portrait of himself found (by the NYT) gathering dust in a utility hallway of his Miami Dorel hotel.

https://money.yahoo.com/8-foot-tall-portrait-trump-230211613.html

House Democrats released a report earlier this month declaring Trump had failed to report more than 100 expensive foreign gifts that he received while in office, some of which were still missing. The report said El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, presented Trump with the large portrait towards the end of his presidency, ahead of the 2020 elections.

The Times sent a reporter to the hotel this week to confirm the painting's location: and there it was next to a pile of old yoga maps, collecting dust, with its ornate gold frame resting on a crumbling, purple foam pad. It was being stored in a small area that led to electrical rooms, with doors that read: "ELECTRICAL ROOM No Storage."

Under US law, any gifts a president or federal official receives from foreign governments that are valued at more than $415 must be reported to the State Department. If an official would like to keep one of the gifts when leaving office, they are required to pay for it.

The report from House Democrats said, "the Trump Administration's failure to disclose more than one hundred foreign gifts President Trump and his family received raises new questions about whether these and other gifts may have been used by foreign governments to influence US policy under President Trump."

Witnesses Asked About Trump’s Handling of Map With Classified Information
The map is just one element of the Justice Department’s inquiry into former President Donald Trump’s possession of sensitive documents and whether he obstructed justice in seeking to hold onto them.

Federal investigators are asking witnesses whether former President Donald J. Trump showed off to aides and visitors a map he took with him when he left office that contains sensitive intelligence information, four people with knowledge of the matter said.

The map has been just one focus of the broad Justice Department investigation into Mr. Trump’s handling of classified documents after he departed the White House.

The nature of the map and the information it contained is not clear. But investigators have questioned a number of witnesses about it, according to the people with knowledge of the matter, as the special counsel overseeing the Justice Department’s Trump-focused inquiries, Jack Smith, examines the former president’s handling of classified material after leaving office and weighs charges that could include obstruction of justice.

One person briefed on the matter said investigators have asked about Mr. Trump showing the map while aboard a plane. Another said that, based on the questions they were asking, investigators appeared to believe that Mr. Trump showed the map to at least one adviser after leaving office.

That's not just obstruction they're asking about. That's would be Espionage Act violation.

Trump's lawyers Congress, ask them to intervene to end DOJ investigations into Trump, Biden, and Pence over classified info

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23790193-230426-parlatore-letter-to-congress

    A legislative solution by Congress is required to prevent the DOJ from continuing to conduct ham-handed criminal investigations of matters that are inherently not criminal.

     What is consistent in all three of these cases is that the document handling procedures in the White House are flawed and DOJ is not the appropriate agency to conduct investigations pertaining to the mishandling or spillage of classified material.

     The solution to these issues is not a misguided, politically infected, and severely botched criminal investigation, but rather a legislative solution. DOJ should be ordered to stand down, and the intelligence community should instead conduct an appropriate investigation and provide a full report to this Committee, as well as your counterparts in the Senate.

     President Trump’s legal team would be happy to meet with you or your staff to assist in any way necessary to address these issues. Please know that despite the differences in the cases, we do not believe that any of these three matters should be handled by DOJ as a criminal case. Rather, the stakeholders to these matters should set aside political differences and work together to remediate this issue and help to enhance our national security in the process.

(I think this is the right thread for this. The lawyers for  the sex criminal leader of the Republican party (and of the criminal Trump Org) have themselves potentially committed so many crimes while covering for his many additional crimes that it is hard to keep track sometimes.)

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-lawyer-tim-parlatore-leaves-former-presidents-legal-team-rcna84896

Timothy Parlatore, a key lawyer representing Donald Trump in a special counsel investigation of his handling of classified documents, said Wednesday that he is leaving the former president’s legal team.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/20/us/politics/parlatore-trump-lawyer-conflict.html

Timothy Parlatore, who withdrew this past week from representing the former president in the special counsel investigations, said he stepped aside over differences with a Trump adviser, Boris Epshteyn.

What were those differences? (Usual disclaimers for the propaganda mill Dilbert Stark paid the GDP of Bahrain for apply.)
https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1660023873088151554

This is the same lawyer (Parlatore) who previously claimed that "Mr. Trump's legal team has no evidence that Mr. Trump showed classified documents to anyone."

So, the lawyer who says he doesn't have any evidence Donald Trump shared the secret information Donald Trump stole, is quitting because he hasn't actually be able to talk to his client about the details of the defense he's supposed to be mounting. It seems to me that Donald's strategy of "lying to lawyers  who then lie to other lawyers who will then lie to the Court" is reaching the point of diminishing returns. (Or maybe he just needs to recruit a fresh round of unpaid legal meatshields.)

Because I understand that Republicans' permanent state of reality denial can lead to problems with their reading comprehension and recall, I'll repost this from last September as a refresher:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/06/donald-trump-mar-a-lago-documents-nuclear-weapons-report

The FBI recovered a document describing a foreign government’s nuclear capabilities during its search of Mar-a-Lago, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

The Post, citing unnamed sources, did not identify the foreign government named in the document describing the country’s military defenses.

Among the records recovered by the FBI were documents detailing top-secret US operations that require special clearances “on a need-to-know basis”, beyond a top-secret clearance, according to the Post report. Some of the Biden administration’s most senior national security officials were not authorized to review some of the documents because they are so restricted, the Post said.

There's also these, from this week:
https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/25/politics/trump-mar-a-lago-documents/index.html

Two employees of Donald Trump moved boxes of papers at Mar-a-Lago a day before the Justice Department visited the former president’s residence to collect classified documents , The Washington Post reported Thursday.

The Post, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that investigators view the timing – just before FBI agents and a prosecutor visited the Florida resort to recover the documents sought as part of a subpoena – as a potential sign of obstruction.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/26/trump-classified-documents-workers-moved-boxes

Federal prosecutors have evidence Donald Trump showed classified documents to people, the Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing unnamed sources, as the investigation into his handling of national security materials and obstruction of justice approaches its conclusion.

The development could raise the stakes for the former president as it exposes him to serious action under the Espionage Act, of wilfully communicating national security materials rather than simply retaining them, which is rarely charged

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

At this point I think the chances of Trump being indicted for both obstruction of justice and violating the Espionage Act are approaching 100%.

What's the punishment for violating the Espionage Act?

A military buddy I know said something about death penalty, but I highly doubt that would be the case.

It's a fairly controversial piece of law with a convoluted history. Violating the Espjonage Act was the basis for the Rosenbergs' execution, so the death penalty would at least theoretically be a possibility.

Mar-a-Lago pool flood raises suspicions among prosecutors in Trump classified documents case

An employee at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence drained the resort’s swimming pool last October and ended up flooding a room where computer servers containing surveillance video logs were kept, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

While it’s unclear if the room was intentionally flooded or if it happened by mistake, the incident occurred amid a series of events that federal prosecutors found suspicious.

At least one witness has been asked by prosecutors about the flooded server room as part of the federal investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents, according to one of the sources

Page 2: I have been summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, at 3 PM. I never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former President of the United States, who received far more votes than any sitting President in the History of our Country, and is currently leading, by far, all Candidates, both Democrat and Republican, in Polls of the 2024 Presidential Election.

Minor note among the celebrations here. I think we can unsticky this thread and allow it to Fall by the wayside in favor of the Trump indictment thread. Maybe let someone create a second one to focus on the documents indictment? Or just continue this one?

I actually don't understand why everyone is posting in the other thread. It was originally about the New York case and the title was changed to Trump indicted when that was the first time it happened so the case itself didn't really matter. But this is still the thread for the indictment that happened today.

Trump has committed so many crimes that we can't even keep track of which investigation we're talking about.

This is actually a large part of his political success. Trump creates a whirling miasma of crimes and lies that surrounds him at all times, making it difficult for the average American to grasp exactly what he's done that was so awful.

He's aided in this by much of the media, such as the New York Times, who seldom fail to amplify his message for him, and often (such as with NYT journalist Maggie Haberman) provide Trump-favorable spin even on negative reporting that seems negative.

Jim Trusty and John Rowley, who helmed Trump’s Washington, D.C.-based legal team for months and were seen frequently at the federal courthouse, indicated they would no longer represent Trump in matters being investigated and prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith, who is probing both the documents matter and efforts by Trump to subvert the 2020 election.

In their place, Trump indicated that Todd Blanche — an attorney he recently retained to help fight unrelated felony charges brought by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg in April — would lead his legal team, along with a firm to be named later. Trump and his team have liked Blanche, who is expected to play a more elevated, central role.

I'm guessing they don't want to be stuck defending a client who lies to them and won't ever pay.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

Tonight Trump accused Biden of selling classified information to China, says Smith has put the country through hell, said he was deranged again, and accuses the FBI of planting some/all of the documents. See below.

Hillary and Biden were not Indicted. Hillary destroyed 33,000 emails with BleachBit, and smashed her phones with a hammer. Biden was even worse, but they didn’t get Indicted and, unlike them, I never gave a foreign power anything. Biden probably did. He gave to China because China gave him a lot of money?

The News Conference just given by Deranged Special Prosecutor (and Trump Hater) Jack Smith was one of the weakest ever. After putting our Country through Hell, with fake charges about a “No Crime” under the Presidential Records Act, the Clinton Socks Case, and more, he sheepishly spoke for three minutes, said nothing, and walked off the stage. He is a Coward and a Thug!

When the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, they wouldn’t let my lawyers or representatives anywhere near them. They wouldn’t tell us what they took. Knowing them, and based on past performance, they probably later “stuffed” in other documents. My lawyers had to wait outside, on a very hot day. The FBI took my medical records, birth certificate, and passports, and just about anything else they were able to get their hands on. What a group! They didn’t do this to Crooked Joe Biden or Hillary.

Does everyone know that Deranged Special Prosecutor Jack Smith was in charge of Lois Lerner and the IRS Scandal?

The bolded text above is a confession that he sold some of the documents he stole to foreign powers.
