Last year, CTH outlined a four-part series of articles going deep into the background of the DOJ-FBI raid of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, along with the outline into why it was important to them. It doesn’t matter how many different legal angles and Deep State justifications the DOJ attempts to deploy in order to divert away from what took place; the background of who, what, when and why they raided Mar-a-Lago will not change.
In Part One, we outlined the background of the modern Deep State {Go Deep}. In Part Two we outlined the specifics of how President Trump was targeted by political operatives using tools created by the DC system {Go Deep}. In Part Three we outlined how and why President Trump was blocked from releasing documents {Go Deep}. And then finally, as below in Part 4, we assembled the specifics of what documents likely existed in Mar-a-Lago.
It is important to remember, the Presidential Records Act –the presented pretext for the document conflict– is not a criminal statute. An FBI raid cannot be predicated on a document conflict between the National Archives and a former president.
The DOJ-NSD warrant, and the subsequent raid on Mar-a-Lago can only be related to records the U.S. government deems “classified” and material vital to national security interests. Hence, DOJ National Security Division involvement.
In prior outlines, we have exhaustively covered the details of President Trump’s desire to publicly release information about DOJ and FBI conduct in their targeting of him during the fabricated Trump-Russia claims. However, to understand the nature of the documents he may hold, we first review the declassification memo provided by President Trump to the DOJ upon his departure from office.
In broad terms, there are two sets of documents that intermingle and are directly related. First, documents that highlight the activity of Hillary Clinton’s team in creating the false Trump-Russia conspiracy theory (2015/2016). Second, documents that highlight the activity of government officials targeting Donald Trump within the same timeframe (Crossfire Hurricane), that continued into 2017, 2018 and 2019 (Robert Mueller).
Think of the two sets of documents as evidence against two teams working in synergy. Team one (Clinton) was outside government. Team two (DOJ/FBI) was inside government. The documents pertain to both groups but are also divided. That helps to explain the wording of the memo above.
The documentary evidence against the outside group (Clinton et al) would also involve government documented evidence as the DOJ/FBI inside group interacted with them. Notes from interviews, materials provided, FBI 302 summaries of interviews, etc.
We can extract a lot of information on the first sets of evidence from the lawsuit filed by President Trump in March of 2022 – mostly against the outside actors. [LINK HERE]
The lawsuit was filed against specific persons, and most of those persons were interviewed by the FBI as part of the originating investigation. Within the subjects of the lawsuit, we find names and groups including:
Hillary Clinton, Hillary for America Campaign Committee, DNC, DNC Services Corp, Perkins Coie, Michael Sussmann, Marc Elias, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Charles Dolan, Jake Sullivan, John Podesta, Robby Mook, Phillipe Reines as well as Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson, Peter Fritsch, Nellie Ohr, Bruce Ohr, Orbis Business Intelligence, Christopher Steele, Igor Danchenko, Neustar Inc., Rodney Joffe, James Comey Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Kevin Clinesmith and Andrew McCabe.
In addition to being named in the lawsuit, many of those names were interviewed by the FBI as part of the origination of the Trump-Russia investigation, and/or part of the ongoing investigation of the Trump-Russia fabrication. Each of those interviews would carry an FD-302 report summarizing the content of the interview, the questions and answers given.
The totality of those 302 documents is a lot of evidence likely consisting of hundreds of pages.
For the government officials on the inside, in addition to 302’s (ex Bruce Ohr), there would be documents of communication between them.
Think about the full unredacted text messages between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok as an example. The DOJ publicly released over 600 pages of those text messages, and that wasn’t all of them. The text messages were also redacted under claims of privacy and national security. We can assume any version of these text messages declassified by President Trump would not be redacted. Hence, you go back to the January 20th memo and see the notes about “privacy.”
We also know there are many pages of communication between DOJ lawyer Lisa Page and her boss in the FBI, Andrew McCabe. Almost none of them were ever made public; but they exist. This internal communication is likely the type of material contained in both the “binder,” left for the DOJ to release, and the boxes at Mar-a-Lago to be used as evidence against the named defendants in the Clinton lawsuit.
Bruce Ohr has 302’s and emails relating to his involvement as a conduit between Fusion GPS and the FBI. Some of those were released in redacted form, and some of them were never released. Additionally, Nellie Ohr, Bruce’s wife, who worked at Fusion GPS invoked spousal privilege when called to testify before the House committee investigating the issues. However, it is almost certain the FBI interviewed her, so there are likely 302’s on Nellie Ohr.
Chris Steele, Igor Danchenko and Rodney Joffe were also interviewed by the FBI. Those 302’s were never released. Presumably John Durham held stakeholder equity in that part of the Trump-Russia hoax, but the documentary evidence prior to January 20, 2021, that exists outside the special counsel, could also be records at Mar-a-Lago.
Then we get to the big stuff…. The records and evidence, in unredacted and declassified state, that would drive the DOJ-NSD to claim vital national security interests.
The NSA compliance officer notified NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers of unauthorized use of the NSA database by FBI contractors searching U.S. citizens during the 2015/2016 presidential primary. That 2016 notification is a classified record.
The response from Mike Rogers, and the subsequent documentary evidence of what names were being searched, is again a classified record. The audit logs showing who was doing the searches (which contractors, which agencies and from what offices), as noted by Director Rogers, were preserved. That is another big-time classified record.
In addition, we would have Admiral Rogers writing a mandatory oversight notification to the FISA court detailing what happened. That’s a big and comprehensive classified record, likely contained in the documents in Mar-a-Lago… and then the goldmine, the fully unredacted 99-page FISA court opinion detailing the substance of the NSA compromise by FBI officials and contractors, including the names, frequency and dates of the illegal surveillance. That is a major classified document the Deepest Deep State would want to keep hidden.
These are the types of documents within what former ODNI John Ratcliffe called, “thousands of pages that were declassified by President Trump,” and given to both John Durham and Main Justice with an expectation of public release when the Durham special counsel probe concluded. That is why the DOJ has to make their moves now. The Durham probe has concluded.
In short, President Trump declassified documents that show how the institutions within the U.S. government targeted him. However, the institutions that illegally targeted President Trump are the same institutions who control the specific evidence of their unlawful targeting.
These examples of evidence held by President Donald Trump reveal the background of how the DC surveillance state exists. THAT was/is the national security threat behind the DOJ-NSD search warrant and affidavit.
The risk to the fabric of the U.S. government is why we see lawyers and pundits so confused as they try to figure out the disproportionate response from the DOJ and FBI, toward “simple records”, held by President Trump in Mar-a-Lago. Very few people can comprehend what has been done since January 2009, and the current state of corruption as it now exists amid all of the agencies and institutions of government.
Barack Obama spent 8 years building out and refining the political surveillance state. The operators of the institutions have spent the last six years hiding the construct.
President Donald Trump declassified the material then took the evidence to Mar-a-Lago. The people currently in charge of managing the corrupt system, like Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, Chris Wray and the Senate allies, are going bananas. From their DC perspective, Donald Trump is an existential threat.
Given the nature of their opposition, and the underlying motives for their conduct, there is almost nothing they will not do to protect themselves. However, if you peel away all the layers of lies, manipulations and corruption, what you find at the heart of their conduct is fear. The need for control is a reaction to fear.
What do they fear most?…
…..THIS!
People forget, and that’s ok, but prior to the 2015 MAGA movement driven by President Donald J Trump, political rallies filled with tens-of-thousands of people were extremely rare – almost nonexistent. However, in the era of Donald J. Trump the scale of the people paying attention has grown exponentially. Every speech, every event, every rally is now filled with thousands and thousands of people.
The frequency of it has made us numb to realizing just how extraordinary this is. But the people in Washington DC are well aware, and that makes President Trump even more dangerous. Combine that level of support with what they attempted in order to destroy him, and, well, now you start to put context on their effort.
The existence of Trump is a threat, but the existence of a Trump that could expose their corruption…. well, that makes him a level of threat that leads to a raid on his home in Mar-a-Lago.
MAGA 👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Trump should just release it all if they indict him.
But President Trump no longer has the files does he?
at the least he would have an inventory of the documents – details of their contents etc.
He has video of what they did in his house.
I have no doubt were Trump smart, he would have multiple copies of the documents.
No. Give it to Sundance!
Sounds like a plan.
We dont need a filter. He should have put it on the Internet along with the JFK files.
this isnt done for us its the sleepers….our neighbors ,friends, family….its a wake up call thats been taking time to undo all the MK ultra…..brainwashing…..its hard to wake up
I’m just happy to know that there is a ton of people in government who will burn in hell for eternity for how evil they are and what they continue to do to a completely innocent man who gave up his billionaire lifestyle to serve the American people and help save an America that was purposely brought down to it’s knees by a foreigner from Kenya and a 47 year lifelong corrupt compulsive liar .
Well deserved
Another problem that’s become quite evident in the last couple of months is that despite a full press for 2 years plus, they didn’t change a single mind about how valid the 2020 election was. If anything, they lost ground. The bag of tricks is getting thin. We’re heading for a showdown one way or the other on the conduct of our elections. Without election machines, the state department loses its mojo around the world. They have gotten lazy. Without election machines, the WEF is in dog cages in Guantanamo. So we’re getting down to the nitty gritty. Can this same group of corruptocrats pull off another one, or does it blow up in their faces? Time will tell
Just a reminder…from August 2022…

We don’t know what the FIB planted in his house either.
I have been waiting a long time for this! These examples of evidence held by President Donald Trump reveal the background of how the DC surveillance state exists. THAT was/is the national security threat behind the DOJ-NSD search warrant and affidavit.

And the so called republicans will just let this shit happen
We lost this Country
And I’m absolutely so sad for our Great President Trump
DeSantis could have given the President a heads up had his Florida Marshall’s there to prevent this bs and that’s why I will NEVER vote for the a$$hole
Republicans are much like police, never there when you need them, always there when you don’t.
I would bet that DeSantis knew about the raid before it happened
I suspect Trump has the deep state by the you know what. And they know it. Thus, the level of lawfare and persecution against him.
If indicted, I hope President Trump releases everything he has on them and makes public the criminals they are.
Those in power cannot let an outsider to the Uniparty inadvertently win the presidency again.
All the pedo blackmail, child trafficking— perverts in power— cannot allow their sick shit to be revealed to the world.
Those at the top are perverts and satanists.
Consider how decent people have reacted to Bud, Target, etc. They fear Donald Trump and his supporters.
Really? Unless you have eyes that don’t see and ears that don’t hear, you, not even Donald Trump, you, already know that they (DS) are criminals.
Exactly what more do you need to see to prove it?
The Durham report regarding the fake Russian collusion and the J6 prisoners (over two years in jail for trespassing, especially the ones motioned in by the Capitol police) don’t prove it to you?
Trump lawyer Alina Habba reacts to reports that prosecutors are ready to ask for a Trump indictment on obstruction and Espionage Act charges.
a worthless see you next tuesday she is.
A pretty good peek under the circus tent . . .
Jack Smith looks like a character on the TV show “Criminal Minds” and I’m not talking about a good guy character. I don’t watch that show because it is too evil.
If President Trump is indicted and goes to prison for being innocent of everything they accuse him of, then be careful people, you might go to prison next. The Crooked Corrupt Left Government won’t stop till they get everyone that doesn’t agree with them. That is why it’s so important to pray for President Donald J. Trump that God will free him so he can run for President and stop all the EVIL that is going on in our Government that is destroying America and the people living in America.
They were after the Crossfire Hurricane Documents that would put many in harms way including FJB and Barry Soetoro aka Barrack Obama! Mike Davis of Article III project and Kash Patel both say that is what they were desperately trying to get back!!! President Trump wrote the official documentation that declassified them but the FJB Regime never released the document!!! Mike Davis has pointed out how damn convoluted their whole process is because they have to literally make up a fictional espionage charge to tag an Obstruction charge because you can’t charge anyone with Obstruction if NO CRIME HAS OCCURRED! It is such a farce and thankfully their are so many people now awake that it is being viewed as the farce that it is!!! 😑
Why did Samantha Powers unmask hundreds of FISA Court surveillance identities during her last days in the Obama administration?
What was her need to know. Why are we still waiting for an explanation 8 years later?
I pray I survive this life, this charade, this crime against the peoples of this country and President Trump, to see all these traitorous, seditious, criminal and corrupt Deep State officials (and the Judas’) prosecuted and incarcerated.
Edit: Certain members of the press should in be indicted and prosecuted, too. These people are particularly despicable.
Remember what Killery said . . . “If they ever figure out what we’ve done, we’re all gonna hang . . . Well, Trump figured it out and had the receipts.
Early in the Trump administration days, the link between Michael Flynn and Mike Rodgers dealing with this very issue was brought to light. Then it was buried. That is when he harassment of Donald J Trump, 45th President of the United States began in earnest.
That is when the hatchets also came out against Michael Flynn. How little of this swirling around did any of us know, but I do remember this exact subject – misuse by government contractors of protected national intelligence files.
Why did outgoing President Obama specifically warn incoming President Trump about Michael Flynn. What was the full agenda of that Obama warning?
Yes!…. This time frame and incidents thereof are of great interest to me as well! I recall only so much about this today. I do recall reading an article regarding the specifics of Flynn, and Rogers pertaining to FISA issues, and I really want to say I read it on this site….Something about Operation (Insert Bird Name)… Flynn was, at the time, incarcerated… I cannot, for the life of me, remember the title, and thus I cannot find the article. I think with your aligned interest in the specific details you.ve mentioned above, if you read the article I’m thinking of you would connect more dots, so to speak.
How is it that the the GSA packed presidential records ended up in Mar a Lago to begin with? The NARA set up buildings near the homes of all the other presidents to temporarily house the Presidential Records for easy access by the president and to be later placed in their presidential libraries. They just sent them to Trump’s home in Mar a Lago and then asked for them to be sent back to DC. Maybe Trump requested this, and ok if he did. I just wonder who’s idea it was?
The whole segment is good to watch, but…
the part of interest starts around 7:20 mark (especially where he talks to one of Trump’s attorneys about the process).

Greg Kelly to National Archives: You should’ve ‘stayed home and watched TV’
Sounds like what we already knew, thanks to Sundance. Trump declassified and retained all crossfire hurricane and fisa abuse documents, corroborated by paint-job Durham and deep-state Horowitz.
The leak about the supposed Iran document, with Meadows as the “poor unwitting hammer”, as the basis for the actual criminal indictment makes sense on so many levels.
First, it obscures CH and FISA from discovery.
2nd, they use it for misapplication of espionage.
Third, the refusal to give back the documents is obstruction as well as a threat to national security.
A sure loser for the DoJ at SCOTUS, but that isn’t the objective, now is it?
“Comey’s a pimp. He never could’ve outfought Trump. But I never understood before this day, that it was Meadows all along.”
All that is left is the GOPe defending his honor going forward.
WE’RE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE FOLKS.
Seems applicable lately..
I hate it when they put those name cards with the word Honorable before the names of the most evil people on earth. There is nothing honorable about any of them. Then there is the charge of lying to Congress…..they lie to us every day!
Dishonorable for sure!
I called it from the very first. Trump wanted to release the documents to the public early on, just to show the level of corruption in the higher echelons of the Swamp, but he was talked out of it with the usual BS: “Would compromise methods and sources.”
When they raided Mar-a-Lago to confiscate them, I guessed they were the exact documents that proved the corruption of the DOJ, FBI, et many al. They could not afford to let them out, just as now they cannot afford for them to be seen.
Hopefully, Trump made multiple copies.
Exactly, there are items that Trump declassified, as president, that still has not seen the light of day due to DS obfuscation.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
“n the era of Donald J. Trump the scale of the people paying attention has grown exponentially. ”
THIS alone is enough to make him one of the most important Presidents in history. He single handedly exposed the breath and depth of federal government corruption and got people to wake up and see it. Andrew Jackson is his only peer in this regard. JFK seems to have been heading down this road too and his assassination stands as an example of how far the deep state is willing to go to maintain control.
Had Trump released and declassified ALL of it 6 months before the election he would still be President today. I’m sure some of the RINOS closest to him convinced him otherwise…..
Who….has who here? It would appear to me, DJT has the upper hand, has them by the ⚽️⚾️🏐🏈 and they are extremely concerned…that we the people will find out the truth! Ha…we already know and we are just waiting for the 💩 to hit them in the face! They all need to be taken down, shipped to Gitmo, put on military tribunal, convicted, and quickly placed in a very warm place waiting for their extraction to the furnace below!
Again, Democrats and Rinos are guilty of abuse of power by public officials, bribery, thefts by fraud, money laundering, perjury and the obstruction of justice, violations of civil rights, the attack on and subversion of the rule of law and equal justice, the violation of the inalienable rights of the people and the defilement of the US Constitution in an ongoing criminal enterprise as defined in Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
Given all this, we have to assume that Trump did not research, catalog, and identify all the evidence of corruption. There had to be a team, likely Cash Patel was one member, that worked on everything. This team had to have high security clearances and is assuredly loyal, or was.
SCOTUS will break the entire Deep State tyranny, if they push this case forward. Relying on only unelected government bureaucrats to exercise total power over an elected POTUS is anathema to our express written constitutional protection. Bring in on, DOJ.
The quicker the death of the entire Deep State – the unelected fourth branch of government exercising unconstitutional powers — the better.
You are joking, or being sarcastic, right?
I believe if Trump will release the info if he has when he needs to or finds a good time to do it.
Masterful summary, Sundance!
Kudos!
Jack Smith looks like a raving lunatic. Just saying.
They will give Trump the JFK/RFK treatment to save themselves, as a last resort. I hope his personal security is prepared to prevent such an event. Not sure the Secret Service can’t be infiltrated and thus an inside job. Think the Secret Service agent not properly positioned to protect JFK.
I like to remind people frequently that no one in my lifetime, and I was a 60s child, has ever drawn crowds like President Trump for a political event. I have only been to one rally – the 2018 one in Houston which was historic at the time. First time people lined up the day before (I was there! Slept on the sidewalk), the largest one to that date, the “reconciliation of Trump and Cruz. It is difficult to describe and I have been to lots of different big events. It was a political rally wrapped in a revival tent surrounded by full on patriotism from the huge diverse peaceful crowd. We were so excited we cheered the prayer! It was a singular event for me and I am so glad that I got to experience it firsthand.
Anyone remember that Dan Scavino truthed out a picture of a front door with the number 45 on it a couple days before the Mar a Lago raid?….meaning, Dan and Trump knew they were coming. Now, ask yourself….if President Trump knew that the raid was coming….do you really think that he would leave such important documents in the safe or anywhere on the entire property?
