The Department of Justice has responded to former President Donald Trump’s call for a special master to go through the items taken from his Mar-a-Lago home in a raid earlier this month. And basically, it’s this: he doesn’t deserve them because we don’t like him.
Of course, it took a 36-page document, including a photo staged by the FBI, to say this, but there it is.
In short, and as I explained in some detail at PJ Media earlier this week, the FBI and attorneys at DOJ contrived a way to insinuate themselves into a documents pissing match between Trump and the National Archives. They accused Trump of obstruction involving disputes over documents under the “espionage act,” which isn’t a criminal statute, and then accused the former president of “obstructing” things that are not crimes.
Here’s how I put it:
The Biden Administration took a National Archives dispute with the last president (which happens with all presidents), elevated it to the White House to blow up the previous president’s privileges (which have been enjoyed by all presidents), parlayed that to a grand jury, and got its subpoena ham sandwich. The Feds then waited until its hand-picked anti-Trump magistrate — not a federal judge — was on the bench and Trump wasn’t home and got the okay for a search warrant for presidential records. Then they dispatched the phalanx of 30 gunned-up FBI raiders, who rifled through the family’s personal items for nine hours to get every document Trump ever touched during his four years in office, trying to find something — anything — on the 45th president. With the documents in their possession, the Feds declined to wait for an actual Article III judge to weigh in on a federal special master to go through the items.

The Biden FBI staged a dishonest photo with purportedly classified material, with the approval of the Biden DOJ, and submitted it to a court to try to make Trump look bad. These agencies are irredeemably corrupt.

In a TruthSocial post, former President Trump tsk tsk’d the FBI’s handling of his documents.
Showboaters eventually step in it. The FBI will soon face hard times for their blatant corrupt activities.
The DOJ’s filing came late last night because the Creative Writing Department at DOJ, which doesn’t exist, hit a wall. Garbage cans were overflowing, everyone was getting punchy, and nobody wanted to die walking to Starbucks. So they were forced to go to the kitchen and steal the leftover Four Lokos someone still had squirreled away in their cubby. By the time it was over, DOJ lawyers had patched together a narrative, put lots of Nixon references in it, pretended Trump had to assert all presidential document rights or they didn’t count, and hoped the judge wouldn’t notice the president has the power to declassify documents and has a right to retain documents under the Presidential Records Act.
Here’s an English-language version of the DOJ/FBI assertions:
One would think that since the FBI is part of the Government they could get REAL Security Cover Sheets. These sheets are “Official” Forms with Real NSNs printed on them.
The ones in the picture LOOK FAKE. Especially the one that says: SECRET//SCI
That they would stage a photo like this tells you irredeemable and corrupt they have become
The FBI is irredeemably corrupt. They are starting him by making it appear he had classified information.
A fisherman showing off his catch. How completely unprofessional.
The cops have more respect for the drugs they catch, that they line up nice and neat before they take pics of it. The FBI is a trash organization and should be shut down.
in this hand drawn picture, you can see trump urinating on the hooker and the hands of the clock clearly read ten fortyfive on what is the 4th day of november 2016, according to the calendar just under the clock with “pee on hookers” penciled in for that day... in ink.
Typical evidence photo, right?
Woe be it to the FBI when Trump 47 lowers his hand on January 20, 2025.
Fake photo. Very nice carpeting though.
FBI has been working overtime at the gun range, never seen anyone shoot themselves in the foot over and over again.
Funny the “media” maggots never did that to Clintoon’s emails. I guess it was because “her daughter Chelsea was jogging nearby.”
It’s getting more and more obvious that there is a massive abuse of power going on here. The administration is out to get Trump and to disable him permanently. They will do whatever it takes, no matter how unfair or illegal.
I’m sure Trump has copies. That’s what’s at play here.
Exactly how old are these documents?
The American public can be informed about how old they are without compromising secrecy.
So tell us!
Since they have been declassified, they should be obtainable through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The New York Times can request copies, and should. They look to be agency documents, so the news media doesn’t even have to get Trump’s OK.
I assume the yellow documents were at a lower level than the red document.
