Justice Department Says Documents Were “Likely Concealed And Removed” In Effort To Obstruct Donald Trump Mar-a-Lago Investigation

If you think a little thing like an indictment under, say, the Espionage Act, is going to slow down the Trump Train, you have another thing coming. And that thing is probably NOT democracy…

Perhaps the most controversial part of the Emmys, on a night when political speechifying was fleeting, came at the very end, when Succession‘s Jesse Armstrong attempted to make a quip or light snipe about the British monarchy, now dominating the television landscape following the death of Queen Elizabeth.

As with everything related to this man for the past seven years or so, it just keeps getting worse in every way imaginable.

The Justice Department is revealing more details about what was discovered at Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago Club.

UPDATE, Friday AM: A more detailed inventory of what items the FBI retrieved in the search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was unsealed on Friday.

You have to be kidding at this point. He really is just admitting to the crimes he’s accused of on the internet, and he’s still going to get away with it??

massive court filing Tuesday night, the Department of Justice said its search of Donald Trump’s Florida residence earlier this month came in response to evidence that the former president had taken steps to conceal his illegal possession of classified documents. In doing so, the filing said, Trump defied a grand jury subpoena and “likely” attempted to obstruct the investigation.In the filing, Justice Department counterintelligence head Jay Bratt wrote that there was “evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the Storage Room and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation.”Despite sworn denials from Trump’s lawyers, the filing said, several of the boxes recovered in the August search of Mar-a-Lago contained “highly classified records” and investigators “identified items marked as classified national security information, up to the level of Top Secret.”The filing also includes a photograph taken at the scene that clearly shows a large number of documents marked top secret that were in Trump’s possession.

The past 24 hours has been like a flashback to 2020, as former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to amplify false claims that the presidential election was stolen, an array of conspiracy theories and a fake quote from his daughter.

Donald Trump got exactly what he was demanding, as usual — the Justice Department on Friday released to the public the affidavit used to get the warrant to raid Mar-A-Lago.

the affidavit in support of a search conducted Aug. 8 at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, showing that after classified documents were found in boxes he handed over voluntarily, the Justice Department suspected there were more at his Florida residence.The DOJ was unsuccessful in keeping the document under seal, but a federal judge allowed the department to heavily redact its contents to protect the identities of agents and potential witnesses.New details from the affidavit were scant.

In the wider scheme of things, ongoing litigation in relation to his unapproved use of Eddy Grant’s ‘Electric Avenue’ in a 2020 campaign video probably isn’t a major cause of stress for former US President Donald Trump. But that lawsuit proceeds, and now the Grant side has got an extension to the case’s discovery phase in order to subpoena Trump’s former Deputy Chief Of Staff Dan Scavino.Grant sued Trump in September 2020 over the use of his 1983 track in an election video which, according to a description in the musician’s lawsuit, featured “a visual depiction of a high-speed red train bearing the words ‘Trump Pence KAG 2020′ in stark contrast to a slow-moving handcar bearing the words ‘Biden President: Your Hair Smells Terrific’”.No one had sought permission to use ‘Electric Avenue’ in that video, hence the copyright infringement lawsuit.

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump are asking a federal court to appoint a “special master” to “preserve the sanctity of executive communication and other privileged material” seized when the FBI conducted a search of his Mar-a-Lago property earlier this month.
