Even in the Mar-a-Lago raid, the feds staged pics of “classified documents” to give the false impression been found tossed on the floor. The burden is has to be on the FBI to prove the chain of custody of any document they claim Trump had improperly. Since they carted items off by the bxload without inventorying them at the site, they could add in anything.
Trump would have had only the FBI’s list of documents provided (9/26), not the electronic hosting of the documents themselves, which was set to be provided only by October 15th.
Theoretically, the FBI could have clandestinely altered the text of many a page within the list of documents without the Trump team’s awareness or ability to compare against their own electronic images (it’s my unsubstantiated assertion that they even have such images).
Dearie’s Plan would have allowed no PDJT objections after the 9/30 deadline. This clearly would have robbed PDJT of his rights to consider possible further FBI malfeasance with regard to the body of documents stolen from the residence.
That the FBI only belatedly added scores of documents to their list once again affirms the FBI’s poor care and stewardship of the documents with which they absconded.
