From what I can ascertain, the court hearing will be on Thursday.
REMINDER: 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}. Here we assemble 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 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.
We must continue to keep Pres. Trump in our prayers for his safety and well being…
They want him GONE. And I do mean gone pecan.
An amended suit was filed in June.

“and given to both John Durham and Main Justice with an expectation of public release when the Durham special counsel probe concluded.”
Hopefully, each page given to Durham and the DOJ were clearly marked as “Certified copy of the true original”.
Let them wonder who has the originals.
Now we know WHY they raided Rudy Guiliano offices nd home. They were looking for the documents. Trump has stated in the last 2 years a few times. “we have em, we caught them all!” So now go forward to MAL and here we are. They don’t have jack now either, so they’re not releasing the affidavit to stall. They’re in a bind and will charge him with something really stupid. It’s what they do! I’m very afraid ofwhat they could do next if this attempt to take him down fails.
Maybe that explains the MAL raid … DOJ & FBI didn’t find what they were looking for at Rudy’s.
I have a couple of questions which have really nagged at me which I have not seen addressed anywhere.
Question #1: What is Bruce Reinhardt’s security clearance? If the affidavit speaks to top secret documents, wouldn’t Reinhardt need a security clearance to view the affidavit?
There are a couple of related questions to this main one. Why would a low level magistrate have a security clearance? If he does have a security clearance, when was that clearance obtained? Was it given just for the purpose of presenting to a magistrate with some ability to sign a search warrant, a person known from his social media postings to have antipathy for President Trump?
Question 2: Who was responsible for installing security for presidential materials at Mar-a-Lago? I don’t think that President Trump went to the local residential security service and asked them to install a secure room for materials that resided at Mar-a-Lago. In fact, I would venture to guess that there is a federal standard that had to be met by a service specifically authorized to provide security in places with a SCIF. So, when the FBI said that they had received a tip from someone inside Mar-a-Lago that the facility where document were housed was not sufficiently secure, would that not be an indictment of the federal contractors who are specifically authorized to install systems in places where any sensitive documents are kept? Why would President Trump be responsible for any failure to install a system that met the necessary security requirements?
I’ve got a lot more questions than these two. But these two seem to go right to the heart of the matter and would explode the DOJ’s corrupt narrative right from the get go. Anyone have any answers that would either support the case that I am laying out or refute where I am going with these two questions?
What if there isn’t/wasn’t an affidavit?!
They had no problem lying to the FISA court, lying in an affidavit to a magistrate would be a piece of cake.
Good questions. I said to my wife when this first happened when it was reported that there was a mole in MAL. I told her the GSA packed these items to bring to MAL. Who’s to say that certain items that Trump didn’t declassify were added by a mole in the GSA after Trump declassified the contents. The deep state plans very well, but honestly for all their planning they seem so stupid in the cover up. LOL Criminals ALWAYS think they’re smarter than everyone else, but in the long run they get caught on stupid little things they didn’t account for. Things like raiding Rudy, raiding MAL. They didn’t find what they were looking for so they searched Melanias undergarments? Now they come up with a 1917 law passed during the Great war?
I hope he does have em all caught and I hope they get exposed! He has to do ASAP now cause they willtry to harm him. If he exposes them it will be obvious to all what they did if he was harmed. They’re no better than the mob, in fact they ARE the mob. Another reason why they want to get Rudy in jail. He knows how to take the mob down.
I don’t see how a GSA “mole” walks into a SCIF, grabs some stuff, and walks out.
The demented Office of Jackasses (DOJ) and the Fumbling Bumbling Incompetents (FBI) have elevated the term “Banana Republic” to a whole new level! What once was a storied honorable institution has been reduced to a weaponized group of America’s version of the Stazi or Gestapo – run by left leaning communists within our own government. Those who run these organizations have, NO INTEGRITY – NO TRANSPARENCY and NO HONOR!
Our forefathers envisioned a land of equal justice under the law – but these bozos have shown the world that the ONLY law they follow is from their puppet masters.
Constitution be damned – Rights and Freedoms excluded and corruption all the way to the WH.
One has but to look across the Potomac into Arlington to see the rows of crosses there by Patriots who gave their all for this country – and with what these treasonous SOBs are doing – there will be a whole lot more interred there, because those of us who donned the uniform of this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution against ALL enemies – foreign and domestic still honor that oath – something these people turned into the punchline of a standing joke!
WE WILL NOT FORGET OR FORGIVE THIS BREACH OF TRUST!
“Intent” is now considered a very important issue in the legal process.
Clearly, the intent of FBI/DOJ has been to “find a crime” with Trump and his advisors.
They have abused Rights and lied to Judges to do this.
Bless you brother!

Would the Comey memos to self, his insurance policy/cya be in the documents PDJT has?
Seems to me it certainly qualifies.
That Obama ever was a presidential candidate, with his hush-hush history, from birth through to junior senator, use of an alias, has always baffled me.
Talk about plants!
The government has been a virtual hothouse for them!
And now I am going to say something that has become extremely ‘unpopular’, in both establishment and alternative media. We can not only thank Donald Trump for the renewed interest in politics, but we can also thank the Q movement, which not only incentivized people to get involved, but also gave birth to an army of digital soldiers. Anyone who tells you otherwise just might be questionable.
All I know is whatever Trump had made the FBI/DOJ look soooo bad they had to make up sh@t to raid his home to get it.
Even toss away all precedent and concern for appearances.
Hope he has a copy somewhere.
Trump should file, a statement on social media isn‘t good enough.
The FBI breaks the law as a practice. Full stop.
That is their history. The Constitution does not apply to them, as they see it. 40 years ago, many of us were outraged by their lawbreaking, famously Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn walked because the FBI brazenly broke the law in investigating them. A pair of dangerous sociopaths who terrorized this country, guilty as hell and free as a bird.
The Uniparty then decided that this FBI lawbreaking was a useful tool. They were motivated because by then the FBI had started investigating them, Abscammers and Rostenkowski went to prison. So the FBI were repurposed, and the Uniparty would be held harmless. Soon, outright felons like McCain would be celebrated, not prosecuted. Same with the Wall Street felons. The FBI is a Uniparty brownshirt org, nothing more.
And here we are.
Boom!
After the Soviet Union fell … the Soviet Archives opened up for public review … McCarthy’s was proven 100% correct per the Soviets own records …
The Rosenbergs were considered Hero Comrades … the left panicked.
Clinton sent a contingency to Moscow …… the Soviet Archives closed again.
We also found out the soviets had a live smallpox culture, too.
So much for the CIA.
‘….what you find at the heart of their conduct is fear.’ Where will their fear take them and what will they do?
Because they KNOW they’re illegitimate and should never have seen the light of day in a Constitutional, Bill of Rights country!
I can’t help but think that we, the American citizens, are a huge part of the problem that has been created over the years concerning the running of this country. We have relied far too often on the (so called) expertise of those we elected to do the “right thing”. (And I feel as though I’m preaching to the choir, as most of those who post really do pay attention to the goings on in The Swamp.) It is a well known fact that the FBI is and has been a den for questionable actions since its inception. Nothing has ever been done to correct their “inconsistencies”. Why not? It’s too difficult to take them on, and it’s much easier to just complain and move on. Same goes for what’s happening in today’s world. We can complain forever and nothing will be done until the entire (or at least majority) of citizens band together to fight big government.
I will be voting for Donald Trump in 2024, even if I have to write in his name. This man is the first President who cared about the people of this country. I feel that is precisely why he’s been chosen for this deception perpetrated by Biden (who doesn’t deserve to be called “President”), the FBI and DOJ, along with the elected officials who talk big and do nothing. This also comes at a time when the liberals need the rest of us to be concerned about anything other than the atrocities they have planned for the future. This is just my opinion, but I think we all need to be more involved with what’s going on in DC. If we can’t correct the errors of the past, maybe we can at least prevent more errors in the future…but we need to stick together and make our voices be heard!!
So true.
Trumps wants a fully unredacted copy of the document that will prove the Democrats are criminals, and I want a date with Jessica Alba. Who do you think stands a better chance?
Sundance’s words certainly suggest massive levels of collusion, conspiracy, treason, obstruction of justice and likely destruction of evidence by DOJ/FBI and cabinet/advisor members of Biden’s administration.
Nothing like stealing evidence that was to be used in pending cases.
All they need is a Judge who will only allow the Government to present “evidence”. They did this to Bannon and Alex Jones pretty successfully.
