A search warrant viewed by POLITICO reveals that the FBI is investigating Donald Trump for a potential violation of the Espionage Act and removed classified documents from the former president’s Florida estate earlier this week.
A receipt accompanying the search warrant, viewed by POLITICO on Friday, shows that Trump possessed documents including a handwritten note; documents marked with “TS/SCI,” which indicate one of the highest levels of government classification; and another item labeled “Info re: President of France.”
The warrant shows federal law enforcement was investigating Trump for removal or destruction of records, obstruction of an investigation, and violating the Espionage Act. Conviction under the statutes can result in imprisonment or fines.

I wonder if Vlad has this little "fixer up" ready for the Trump family? You know Melania will not be going.
Trump's 440 times of taking the 5th in his NY civil trial could be taken as 440 guilty pleas.
I asked my lawyer/neighbor/friend and the burden of proof in civil trial is different from a criminal
trial. In a civil trial it is the is the preponderance of evidence not proof beyond reasonable doubt.
In a civil case that might be seen as 440 guilty pleas. Trump is so fucked. All of Trump's businesses in New York
might be shut down by Letitia James.
Former President Donald Trump pleaded the Fifth Amendment at least 440 times on Wednesday to avoid answering questions in his four-hour deposition with New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office in lower Manhattan about business dealings at his real estate company, according to NBC News.

I imagine it as a chilling final turn of the plot. His world is coming to an end. He will never have another good day. Loser label will haunt him. The law will pursue him. Mental illness will hobble him. His properties will bankrupt him.
Why did Donald Trump steal America's most classified nuclear secrets ?
Answer To keep them safe from Hunter Biden's laptop.
*************
What are "they" gonna say now? Donald Trump was caught red handed with America's nuclear weapons secrets and he had or was going to sell them to our enemies and was risking thermonuclear war so he could make money. His ass should be locked up today. At the very least he needs to be in front of a federal judge and put under house arrest with an ankle monitor on him. It doesn't get any worse than this.
Too bad that MAGA idiot from Cincinnati* didn't live long to see Trump sell out America's top secrets.
* S.W. Ohio is thick with those mouth breathers they have had 70+ years of hate talk radio there, Lebanon, OH
is the home of the Klan in OH, and most of the white christo fascist shits arrested @ the Charlottesville, VA riots
had been from S.W. OH or had spent time there.
Garland just dropped a well placed bomb on Trump and all the pro Trump media spin after the FBI ....
... search with his statement today.
He dared Trump to block the unsealing of the search warranty and the property seized invoice which
when released should show what laws Trump broke and then he called out Fox and so on for lying
about the work of the men & women of the FBI and the DoJ.
Watch how quick Trump now tries to block the unsealing of the warrant and the release of the property
invoice.
What I think / know. I very well might be wrong.
Trump took highly classified documents with him to Florida
Trump knew that was illegal
The documents were "sensitive compartmented" information and had to do with national security
The "sensitive compartmented" information had something to do with America's nuclear weapons programs
Trump has already or wanted to sell that information to foreign governments or organized criminal operations
Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, Russian mob, and Iran (Iranian Revolutionary Guard) were the likely targets for being
potential buyers for this top secret information.
I would suggest that Erik Prince, Gen. Flynn, Manafort, and Roger Stone might have something to do with this
international criminal/nuclear terror operation. (I have no idea what to call "it." )
When the truth comes out it will be so bad that even Fox News will dump Trump PDQ and the MAGA/GOP folks will
try to pretend that they never knew him.
This "thing" will not only end Trump's political career and he might very well end up in prison too.
Class by Joe B. Warning you might cry. Best President of my lifetime. Great Speech too.

Cassidy Hutchinson (May): Meadows burned papers in his WH office fireplace after meeting Scott Perry
05/26/2022 02:08 PM EDT
Then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows burned papers in his office after meeting with a House Republican who was working to challenge the 2020 election, according to testimony the Jan. 6 select committee has heard from one of his former aides.
Cassidy Hutchinson, who worked under Meadows when he was former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, told the panel investigating the Capitol attack that she saw Meadows incinerate documents after a meeting in his office with Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.). A person familiar with the testimony described it on condition of anonymity.
The Meadows-Perry meeting came in the weeks after Election Day 2020, as Trump and his allies searched for ways to reverse the election results.
It’s unclear whether Hutchinson told the committee which specific papers were burnt, and if federal records laws required the materials’ preservation. Meadows’ destruction of papers is a key focus for the select committee, and the person familiar with the testimony said investigators pressed Hutchinson for details about the issue for more than 90 minutes during a recent deposition.

This is wonderful! TFG is having a very bad week.
Publicly pushed away twice by an American swimmer because she didn't want him to kiss her.
Manafort admitted that he helped Russia flip our elections for money.
He has to turn his taxes over to the J 6 committee ..... correction to the house ways and means committee
His home in Florida was "raided" by the FBI
It looks like Mark Meadows might have flipped
Questions about him selling state secrets to foreign governments have come up
He and his family will have to testify in front of a NY court because NY's AG Letitia Davis is after his real estate frauds
..... correction Letitia James
Rudy Giuliani has to be in front of a Georgia Grand Jury run by Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis because of the
phony electors he tried to install after Trump lost the state in 2020
And Joe Biden is kicking ass too.
And today is only Wednesday.
