…. and the DOJ/FBI had already reviewed the documents in June 2022.
I think we already know what documents the FBI and DOJ were on a mission to retrieve, and they had nothing to do with nuclear secrets {GO DEEP}. Try to avoid the shiny things, the pushed narrative, and keep the full context of the last SEVEN YEARS of DC targeting operations as the primary intellectual filter.
Donald Trump held evidence of a politically weaponized U.S. intelligence and justice system. To include an extensive paper trail showing how the DC apparatus under the Obama-era intelligence system, Dept of Homeland Security, Office of the Director of National Security, Dept of Justice and FBI coordinated with the Hillary Clinton campaign to install her into office {Go Deep}. THAT is the top-secret classified intelligence that must NEVER reach sunlight.
If the content of the documents was so urgent, so vital to national security, so critical to safeguard “nuclear weapon information” from potential exposure…. Then why did the warrant have a 14-day window to execute? That narrative is a hoax, a cover story intended to justify the DOJ and FBI throwing a bag over the documentary evidence that shows the same DOJ and FBI wrongdoing.
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.
.
(Newsweek) […] On June 3, three FBI special agents and a senior Justice Department official visited Mar-a-Lago to discuss any additional documents in response to the subpoena. The visiting officials were shown the basement storage room where White House records were stored, and in fulfillment of the subpoena, left with “a small number of documents,” according to Soloman. The documents were classified as Top Secret and were compartmented, according to people familiar with the investigation. Trump and his spokespeople say the visit was cordial and that the Trump camp fully cooperated.
After the June visit, according to the Trump camp, communications with the investigators ceased until agents showed up on Monday to execute the search warrant. According to people familiar with the search, the decision to escalate the matter to a surprise search came because investigators concluded that additional documents were at Mar-a-Lago—documents so sensitive, they had to be retrieved in order to protect national security.

To understand the nature of the content of the boxes, 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 this year, 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 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 has 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, was 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.
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 reveals 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 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.
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.
The whole FBI raid was a smash and grab operation. Although I suspect this will not happen, let’s hope over the next few days and weeks we start seeing video of the raid being released that was recorded by MAL CCTV cameras, and let’s hope that Pres. Trump starts handing digital copies of the declassified documents out to anybody who asks to see them.
In her interview with Laura Ingraham, Trump attorney Christina Bobb said Trump people in New York were watching what was going on via the security cameras. 🙂 Trump was in New York, I hope he was right there watching.
I’m sure he was watching, recording, and streaming to other friendly locations for further use.
Totally! The Federal Govt. just LOOTED (oops … “looting” is now a racially insensitive term) President Trump’s Library. And make no mistake … they will be BURNING these documents if they provide evidence of any government wrongdoing.
I wonder didn;t FLOTUS aid Stephaine Grisham claim the FLOTUS was
busy making photo albums to worry about Jan 6th.. I wonder if they took
hers when they rummaged thru her stuff?
The 2nd (extra) lock was a ruse to ensure Trump was still in his possession, when they left to prepared and served the warrant a month later.
I wonder. Do you think Trump had only one copy of the relevant documents about the Deep State’s campaign against him?
Hmm.
I wondered the same. Or is it against the law to copy what was declassified documents?
no it is not.
the declassification process is complex.
the simple answer is that once ALL classifications are removed from a record, it is “unclass”…this has a very special meaning. IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY translate as open public records. There are MILLIONS OF UNCLASS documents that are not made public. Mostly this has to do with agency action. How would anyone KNOW about a previously Classified record, even if it is completely declassified and classed as “Unclass”/
you see the “process” also includes that last final step, which is that the record be publicly announced as existing. if the agency and class principle doesn’t want the document/record to go public, even IF IT IS DECLASSED, they can simply just lock it up and black hole it.
What most people need to realize is that there was a very specific reason WHY PRESIDENT TRUMP had grennel and later ratcliffe declassify very specific records. In doing so, AND THEN RETAINING THEM HIMSELF, President TRUMP PREVENTS THE CORRUPTORS FROM BLACK HOLING THEM.
He was largely successful in his efforts. And that is what this raid was about: how to take those records, and then under this fraudulent joe malarkey regime, RE CLASSIFY THEM. And yes, that can happen.
This is about forcing thost documents/records from ever being made public.
And if President Trump leaks them or tries to communicate any of the contents of these classified documents, they will have another jacked up criminal allegation and will indict him for another 18 USC 793 PLUS obstruction.
President Trump no longer has executive power.
What triggered the DOJ to take action and why didn’t they roll on this the moment he left office?
Earlier this year, President Trump filed a criminal complaint (civil?) against specific top level officials in the administration. They cannot afford to have these cases go to trial. THEY KNOW that President Trump and his legal team are going to use some of these classified records to PROVE THAT CRIMES WERE COMMITTED…INTENTIONALLY…not unwittingly. But directly, with full knowledge the actions were criminal.
That is why they waited. This is a strategy to black hole the documents AGAIN, to protect themselves from future criminal prosecution.
They will not win this.
WE THE PEOPLE WILL WIN THIS>
WE WILL WIN THIS BECAUSE WE WILL NEVER AGAIN BE BOXED INTO LEGAL BOUNDS.
We are done with the so called “law”.
May GOD have mercy on their souls.
God Bless America
Anonymous leaks of classified documents happen!
Since they were part of his RICO lawsuit, I expect not.
And if the Feds now try to raid his attorneys’ offices, we know they know.
But did they check the Mar-A-Lago septic – you know, for the flushed notes with fresh ink that doesn’t bleed when submerged.
I am 73 and have never seen this country be reduced to such a level of insanity. The Federal Government is run by a bunch of criminals and thieves while the economy is collapsing and people are just trying to survive. All the while the federal government is allowing an invasion of the country of the southern border. It seems the government hates the american people and are doing everything in their power to hurt us. Where this goes who knows.
Seems it can only go to some sort of actual insurrection.
they (the goober mint) don’t just hate us, they’re trying to f*cking kill us! Once you understand this, you will know how to conduct yourself.
Thank you for the post.
We have citizens standing in lines at the food banks, inflation eating up American’s savings and creating personal credit card debt beyond repayment, a homeless and addiction problem, a deadly crime problem and millions of illegals coming across the border bringing diseases, poverty and economic strain on our communities.
YET it’s more important to spend our tax dollars sending the Political Elites and their families to Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East under the guise of “diplomacy”. We have a President who vacations more than works. A President who answers to no one. A Congress who spends our money like it was their money. Federal Agencies are run to protect the Political powerful, their minions and donors.
We The People are their Deplorables, we are all slaves of the system they created to serve only themselves.
One of the writers from this article is Devlin Barrett- look familiar? He was one of Strozk/Page’s go to people to leak to! He was mentioned in their now famous text chats.. he used to be at WSJ. So the FBI is using the same POS reporters they did the last time to leak and these folks have still never been properly punished from the first go round!
.
What the historic markings on documents say is IRRELEVANT.
.
It is a heads up for people reading the WashPo article.
Who wrote it. Some readers may have not noticed the authors name. Many may not even be familiar with who he is. Many may not know his connection to the FBI/DOJ.
As my Daddy used to say–
Consider the Source.
Glad he finally noticed !
When I saw the first article yesterday and saw his name.
I was pretty sure something was up.
You are right. Devlin is the DOJ/FBI stooge that they used to plant the Russia Hoax stories.
And other media picking up the story and running with it….once again.
I’m old enough to remember the former Director of the FBI admit on camera that Hillary Clinton had documents labeled Top Secret on her home email server. She didn’t have declassification authority and they totally let her skate.
She just “acid-washed” them all! Criminal activities by the professional crime families and agencies within our own government! Time for a good, thorough cleaning!
Treepers…read Part 1…it isn’t a dead horse but I am done w beating it this evening…the president does not decide what gets declassified…Trump 2022/2024
He most certainly does.
So what person, not identified in the Constitution does that? And why do you support non-constitutional BS?
Bottom line….they’re out to get Trump, and everyone associated with him in any way — that includes most of us here!
…
Just a guess
might be there are so many near misses and circumstantial connections of President Donald Trump and corruption, collusion and media proclamation of his guilt is because President Donald Trump has been in the spying business for the past 40-years
Remember Nixon’s note to Donald Trump?
Oh and PS, since I work in the hospitality sector, I constantly laugh at the fact that PDJT has a LOT of hotels with a LOT of security footage for all of those conniving, sniveling hacks of politicians who want a free night stay at a hotel with God knows who or what.
I am sure that doesn’t help their panicked response!
I find both your comments and that of gsonFIT….”intriguing”
I was thinking mafia but pols make sense too
Some people never stop with the tin foil hat stuff…
Garland claims to “narrowly scope any search that is undertaken”
His warrant: “Any government and/or Presidential Records created between January 20, 2017, and January 20, 2021”
ANY record in FOUR years is narrowly scoped?
What an ass. Resign Garland.
That is beyond irrational.
So, just asking here, how do we know Durham didn’t request this search of Mar-A-Lago for his ongoing investigation? Could he be trying to find evidence for his case against the colluders?
A reach, IMO. Durham seems to be Barr on far fewer steroids.
Because Garland would have refused. After everything we’ve seen the last 7 years, you think now they are gonna start playing by the rules? You’ve got to shake off the belief that this isn’t a communist take over. We are in a scrum for the soul of America.
STOP WITH THE “TRUMP SET A TRAP” CR@P
This has all the marks of a “trust the plan” psyop. Anyone who tells you Trump would bring this hell upon himself and f–k up his lawsuit against Hillary, f–k up his MAGA momentum, f–k up his life just as he’s decided to run in 2024, isn’t to be trusted.
Fabulists – great word and exactly right!
That’s nicer than the name I give them.
All this 4D chess will end up with Trump convicted by a DC jury and sent to the J6 gulag.
Where’s the FBI probable cause affidavit?
They’re working on it /s
They are working on the redactions – Here are the first 3 lines. “ The …………and ……….
was………… and ……….
. ………….., ………; “
Yup. You know it!
I hate to say it but… Re-electing Trump isn’t going to put a dent in this disaster.
He went into the white house last time knowing and well warned by Mike Rodgers and others. He sat on his hands, and hired in some of the WORST deep state actors.
This ends with a war, not a president of any name or kind.
Amazing that many have been under a rock for their entire lifetimes.
You may want to study Donald Trump and specifically the Trump International across from the UN and find out how for a decade or more he put that deal together against the entire army of politicians in NYC.
That story is a useful tool. Others are not.
I actually felt like defending you with respect to WSB because he and I have had our tussles, until I saw how ignorant you actually are with this comment. Yes, Donald Trump made some bad decision as President, and had bad people around him giving him terrible advice. But the long and short of it is, there isn’t anyone else in Washington. They’re rare at best.
You apparently like to make comments with little to no context. Emotions in words basically. That’s often gotten me into trouble. I suggest you don’t do that.
Pick your response to this carefully…
It all depends. If he makes it to re-election (if we are even lucky enough to have another presidential election) and he wins, that’s probably a sign that the commies have taken a major blow. So much so that Trump will probably have cart blanch to fix America.
You see, that’s what I don’t think many people grasp. Think about what is actually going on. This isn’t a movie. This is a literal battle for America. If you’re even able to fathom and election happening then that’s a good sign. Personally I know that by them raiding his home, no matter what they found, an indictment and court case is happening. You can take that to the bank and they will FDIC it for you.
This is for all the marbles as it relates to PDJT. This is their kill shot that’s not an actual bullet. They miss and the repercussions are going to be extraordinary. The likes our nation has not seen since the 1800s. We are at the front row of one of histories biggest heavy weight bouts. Unfortunately it’s not something to be excited about. The blowback is going to be awful for most Americans.
S—t got real on Monday morning when they made their move.
May God be with us.
I think day one Trump appoints a special prosecutor just to handle fbi/DOJ whistleblowers.
Until some are perp walked…nobody gonna have trust in the system.
Won’t solve the problem unless all the trials are moved to “Fly-Over Country” as DC juries will NEVER convict one of their own.
So did they get away with all that material and can make it disappear—or do you think Trump has secured copies of everything? If he has everything digitized, looks like he’d better just give them the finger right now and put everything out there. He can use the Pentagon Papers rationale.
My money is with PDJT having digital back-ups. Recall he and his team were extremely accommodating last month. I’m stilling praying for America.
Enough is enough!!!!
I have been saying that since election night. When is enough REALLY going to be ENOUGH?
Now lets see Garland authorize the collection of the 30 million pages of documents Obama trucked off to Chicago when he left the WH. Can garland be absolutely sure there were no classified documents in that lot ?
It’s past time to unseal all those documents Obammy sealed, as well as Obiden’s sealed files. Nothing transparent about them — all murky swamp creatures!
HAHA “nuclear documents”
WAPO so dumb
According to Mike Davis, President of the Article III Project and a former law clerk under Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, the president of the United States can declassify records by simply leaving the White House with them.
“The President of the United States has both the constitutional (and statutory) power to declassify anything he wants,” Davis wrote on Twitter on Aug. 11. “If President Trump left the White House with classified records, they are declassified by his actions.”
“As discussed, the Office of Former President Trump—like every other former president’s federal office—is equipped and secure enough to handle these declassified records,” Davis added. “This is a routine dispute with bureaucrats at the National Archives whether these are presidential records.”
Davis cited Department of Navy v. Egan (ruling), a 1988 Supreme Court decision that Davis says shows the president possesses the constitutional power to “classify and declassify” records “regardless of any statute passed by Congress.”
“The President, after all, is the ‘Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States,’” The Supreme Court ruled at the time. “His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security and to determine whether an individual is sufficiently trustworthy to occupy a position in the Executive Branch that will give that person access to such information flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant.”
“When President Trump had the records sent to Mar-a-Lago, they were declassified,” Davis explained. “Former presidents don’t have this power. But Trump did this as the president.”
The biggest threat is evidence planted and mixed in with the rest after the Feds left Margo Largo.
I have been stuck on the FBI and J Edgar Hoover days.
J Edgar Hoover was known for blackmailing politicians
I finally realized.
The FBI and DOJ own Biden!
They have Hunters laptop.
Ahhhhh. I think you are on to something there…
Resepectfully gyps, that’s been known for quite some time. Consider Epstein’s original arrest in ’08, it goes back further.
I know….but I was thinking along totally different lines.
Yeah…I am a little slow sometimes. 🐌
What a circus.
The real “tell” in all of this is that NO ONE is buying the doj fib story. They just blew themselves up.
Okay, Stardust if you see this PLEASE comment on this twitter thread.
Liz Cheney, the EVIL man hater looks like a bitter old crazy woman ready to kill someone and her father, Dick Cheney looks like a scary EVIL Demon wearing a cowboy hat on his phony commercial. Both are very rich and very crooked.
Both Father and daughter are full of the angry gene
Yet they played the ad on Sean Vannity. Must be effective for some viewers.
Just release the docs … let the crap fly.. they should have thought about privacy before they engaged in treason
Paper documents can be scanned and placed on a cloud server beyond the grasp of the Deep State. Also, the Deep State would have a tough time finding all of the certified copies of all the confiscated records that reside in the safes of various attorney’s that work for Trump in a personal capacity. It might be fun to see the Deep State try to chase all those hidden documents and repeatedly violate attorney-client privilege. Once that precedent has been set, Biden, Crooked Hillary, and Obama will need to continually look over their shoulder to look for the agents of the replacement of the FBI snapping the cuffs on and frog-marching them directly to a DC jail for several years of isolation.
The whole operation is a ploy to plant damaging “evidence” against the true President of the United States of America!
What they refer to as a nuclear “threat” is actually Trump’s nuclear “option”. He’s a deal maker extraordinaire. The Deep State found out that he had cards up his sleeves and the raid was an attempt to pull back his coat sleeves. No doubt, he has digital copies of everything off-site. He can tell the world exactly what they took but he’ll do it on his own schedule. Like all good card players, you never show your hand early.
I have been having a running gun battle with lefties over on Yahoo! I mentioned that Trump’s attorney stated (on TCT) that she had only been shown the warrant “from several feet away” and had not received a physical copy. Everyone disputed that claim, and here I am now reading the actual warrant that says (net) “hand over a copy without delay”. So Trump’s on-site attorney went on national TV and lied.
Did I get that wrong?
Probably. What was written on the warrant and what was done are two different things.
I sure as hell hope everything they took is comfortably backed up somewhere. Hopefully a multitude of copies exist hither and yon. On that note, watch for additional raids (or accidents) befalling various associates.
But they CAN’T possibly indict hunter the crackhead right?
Yea, no bias going on here. Our country is sickening beyond belief.
If they can and will do this to our great president, what will they be doing to us?

St Michael The Archangel protected God by defeating Lucifer, now Satan – and his evil angels, now devils.
Ask St. Michael to now protect President Donald Trump from Satan’s devils who now control the democrat party – including the FBI and DOJ.
Dear God in the name of your precious Son, our Lord and Savior, save us. Amen.
The property list is typed?? Did they bring a printer with them?
Another question I have is the informant went to fbi on June 22 according to reporting day of raid…the judge refused himself same day from trumps civil case! Any intel or rumors about this?
all this to see if TRUMP has the documentation to prove the FBI faked the Russia collusion? We KNOW THAT> Can we start locking them up now?
