AP: Feds cite efforts to obstruct probe of docs at Trump estate
AP ^ | Aug 31 | By ERIC TUCKER, JILL COLVIN and MICHAEL BALSAMO

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department said Tuesday it had uncovered efforts to obstruct its investigation into the discovery of classified documents at Donald Trump’s Florida estate, saying “government records were likely concealed and removed” from a storage room even after the former president’s representatives had assured officials that they’d thoroughly searched the property.

The FBI also seized 33 boxes containing more than 100 classified records during its Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago and found three classified documents stashed in office drawers, according to a filing that lays out the most detailed chronology to date of stained interactions between Justice Department officials and Trump representatives over the discovery of government secrets.

Tuesday night’s filing included a photo showing the cover pages of a smattering of paperclip-bound classified documents — some marked as “TOP SECRET//SCI” with bright yellow borders, and one marked as “SECRET//SCI” with a rust-colored border — along with whited-out pages, splayed out on a carpet at Mar-a-Lago. Beside them sits a cardboard box filled with gold-framed pictures, including a Time Magazine cover.

The filing offers yet another indication of the sheer volume of classified records retrieved from Mar-a-Lago. It shows how investigators conducting a criminal probe have focused not just on why the records were improperly stored there, but also on the question of whether the Trump team intentionally misled them about the continued, and unlawful, presence of government secrets.

Yeah. Documents implicating the FBI and DOJ in Russia gate. Would come out in the Civil Suit by Trump against Clinton Inc.

Dear Jill,

Trump has the legal right to access any and all of the documents created during his presidency, classified or otherwise. Period. https://t.co/aPrW3g8zft— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 30, 2022

That picture was taken before the horrible incident with the two dozen boxes of Krispy Kremes that she accidentally inhaled over the course of a few weeks...

She is now being pursued by Cap'n Ahab and The Pequod.

Biden wants to Indict Trump.

All evidence is Biden gets whatever he wants.

Like the raids of Giuliani and for Ashley’s Diary - Biden is directing Garland.

Biden wants to Indict Trump.

Biden wants vanilla ice cream for dessert.

Biden's handlers want to indict Trump.

Biden does what his handlers tell him to do. He is a worn-out puppet but still useful to maintain the fiction of a legitimate government.

The government is illegitimate, but they have the keys to your life. Steer clear of me, government, I say.

Never believe AP on a story like this. Even their biased written is gibberish.

Something that has me confused. I thought former president’s were supposed to have a SCIF room for storage and handling of documents. So why didn’t Trump have one?

He did have one, I read it was specially constructed in Mar Lago for that purpose

For starters, I think it’s time for a raid on the offices and homes of every living former POTUS.

They were likely removed from the storage room? Doesn’t that mean they found them in the storage room and speculating that they may have been removed?

Laughable.

Just in the wake of Sleepy Joe’s hate speech on Tuesday and before his more hateful prime time speech on Thursday.

Orange Man Bad cult.

Hilarious: this is the LEAD STORY in the Miami Florida media. So obvious they’re working hard to pump up the Democrat party.
