The DOJ has filed a response to the motion by President Trump for the court to appoint a special master to review the seized material from the DOJ/FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. [Court pdf Here] Additionally, the outside government Lawfare group has filed an amicus brief supporting the DOJ-NSD position [Amici court pdf Here]
Essentially the position of the DOJ boils down to… They have already reviewed the material. Yes, there was attorney-client privilege material seized; but they swear the internal team segregated the legally confidential material and the DOJ investigators & prosecutors didn’t see it – double pinkie swear, yer honor.
Additionally, in a nice lawfare maneuver, the DOJ claims President Trump never formally evoked ‘executive privilege‘ on any material at Mar-a-Lago; therefore, despite his position as a former President, he was/is legally considered an ordinary citizen for the purpose of raiding his home to seize material the government considers vital to national security.
To complement the created DOJ narrative for media consumption, and to assist the media effort for direct distribution of the DOJ position, Main Justice released a picture as an example of the documents seized. The DOJ literally staged and created this photo for media to use, then released it in the court filing. Slick lawfare:
The cover sheets are essentially non sequitur as they do not necessarily describe or affirm the nature of the documented material underneath. “HCS-P/SI/TK” looks all officially looming; however, it doesn’t necessarily mean any of the information is classified as HCS (HUMINT Control System, or human intelligence), SI (special intelligence), or TK (talent keyhole), or SCI (Sensitive Compartmented Information), aka the silos.
One word or paragraph could be considered ‘special intelligence’. Example “FISA” or “FISC”. You might remember our prior discussions that every document that contains the designation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, FISA or FISC, literally those words or abbreviations, is considered classified special intelligence.
Example (as above): Someone might write “the Carter Page FISA application” on a government document. That document is now considered ‘special intelligence‘. That’s how each silo inside the agencies of government keep a cloud over information.
It was not that long ago when the classification rules stated you could not ever publicly use the words “FISA Court,” without running afoul of the rules governing classified special intelligence. Yes, that’s correct, until about three years ago it was a violation of law to even discuss what took place in the FISA court process.
As a result, take the cover letter designations with a grain of salt. The covers are essentially useless for the purpose of understanding what material might be underneath. However, for the purpose of creating an optic, which helps drive a narrative, the oh-so super special cover values are priceless.
Moving beyond the filings, the DOJ narrative engineering is particularly noteworthy. By framing the material seized in such a manner as most people will never understand what the designations mean, Main Justice lays the foundation for the media to obfuscate, portray and define the potential of the evidence.
This is lawfare narrative engineering at its best. It is also very easy to see what comes next because this is a rodeo very familiar to those who watched the media push the DOJ and FBI manufactured stories around the Trump-Russia and Trump/Russia-obstruction cases before.
Just like the examples from 2016 (FBI leaks), 2017 (FBI/DOJ leaks), 2018 (Weissmann/Mueller leaks) and throughout the impeachment constructs (Nadler/Schiff committee leaks), this coordinated Main Justice effort is all done via public consumption of misleading articles produced by allied media working to promote the political interests of the DOJ.
As a result, screaming headlines of “Trump Held National Security Documents“,… and “Intelligence Community now Conducting Risk Assessments“…. and “ODNI Now Launching an Investigation of Classified Documents Found in Mar-a-Lago“…. etc are sure to follow.
Today the focus of media will be pushing the “Top Secret Classified Documents Detailed in DOJ Filing” aspect, hence the photograph becomes a key part of the narrative engineering value. However, within a few media cycles, the narrative will switch to The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Avril Haines, briefing congress on the documents.
DNI Avril Haines will be the next phase, triggered to assist the emphasis of Main Justice and Lawfare. All of this is coordinated and planned in advance. None of the timing or sequencing is accidental. The best reference was the prior deployment of the same process throughout 2018 (DOJ Weissmann/Mueller) leading up to the midterm election.
Last point. As to the actual nature of the material in the photograph staged by the DOJ for media use, many of the documents you see in the picture are transcripts from the 2018 House Intelligence Committee (HPSCI) investigation and witness testimony. Again, the cover sheets are a moot point. You might remember Representative Doug Collins releasing the witness transcripts (Bruce Ohr, etc) to the public.
Even though those House Intel and House Judiciary transcripts were released to the public, the cover sheets designate how the agencies view the testimony therein. Something can be a public record and still labeled “special intelligence,” that’s just the nature of this ridiculous classification system – or what I call the silo value.
It is likely that Mary McCord is working closely with Norm Eisen (red tie), and perhaps even Barry Berk (blue tie) on these collective efforts. It’s just how they roll.
As noted, Mary McCoup taking a leadership role…
“Former top DOJ official: Graham warning of ‘riots’ if Trump is prosecuted ‘incredibly irresponsible’”
https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/3619358-former-top-doj-official-graham-warning-of-riots-if-trump-is-prosecuted-incredibly-irresponsible/
Mary McCord, a former top official at the Department of Justice, knocked Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday for comments warning there would be “riots in the streets” if former President Trump is prosecuted for his handling of classified materials found when the FBI searched his Mar-a-Lago home.
Yes… we know, Mary… Lindsey Graham is a horse’s ass… no need for a reminder. Also: you belong in jail.
Graham is a pontificating fool. He is part of the problem; not part of the solution.
It looks like Mary McCord is his new boss
“We give you guns for a reason,””Use them,” is what he told Capitol Police on J6..?
So what does he think now, considering the last few hours?
‘Executive Privilege’ revoked and Congress abolished via (‘no oversight on whistleblowers’?)
The DOJ has declared itself Specious Master over the United States of America.
Yet not one of them are bulletproof. They all have addresses.
Surprised Lindsy bothered to say another about 45’s dilemma; he’s got a war to promote.
He is promoting the war–He’s promoting the war against President Trump and those that voted for him.
CWII would adversely affect the desired war’s profit margin.
I think Graham is actually trying to help advance their narrative that all MAGA is violent which is why he said it. He’s also encouraging it.
Can’t help but see Graham as the Leo Getz (of Lethal Weapon) of the Republican party. Will say anything to be with the in crowd, whatever that crowd happens to be that day.
Graham likely said what he did about the “riots” because of some super-secret double probation info you, Mary, have on him. He’s a puppet. You know it but so do we!
As for Lawfare, they likely wrote the DOJ “position paper” (you know the position, bend over and take it up the wazoo Meritless Garland). At this point, most rational Americans realize fully that Lawfare is just the legal wing of the Obama/Holder Communist party.
Graham is as guilty as any of them and is fighting for his life. The “Bad Guys” which Graham is one of them, desperately need MAGA riots. Just as they needed Jan 6. They do not concern themselves with whose life they ruin…Graham is and has always been a traitor going back to McCain days.
We need to March peacefully singing “We Shall Overcome”.
They are goading MAGA into doing something really stupid…..
Another strongly worded media interview from Graham. When is the last time he actually DID anything?
Somehow he keeps getting elected despite being a known RINO. That pretty much sums up his life’s work.
It was PDT that brought Lindsay over the line the last time he was elected. Remember him nearly crying on Hannity that he needed money and help from PTrump. Such a loser. They must have a lot on him. Especially his trips (Mcain) to Ukraine.
He keeps getting re-installed, not elected.
EVERY state has corrupted voter roles, and the corrupting OF the voter rolls is maintained under both “R” and “D” State governments.
Its about Uniparty vs MAGA, aka We, the People.
It is NOT about “R vs D”.
The legitimate votes Lindsey got, were because of the speech he gave at the end of Kavanaugh hearings.
So many FELL for it; “Liking” Graham, because they “liked” what he said, during one 3-5 minute bit of staged political theater, and totally overlooking that Graham was meeting with those SAME Dems he “hoped would never gain power” to craft a National Red letter law, to take away their 2A.
But he WON, because the Uniparty wanted him to win.
When is the last time any “Republican” senator did anything but bloviate, from McConnell on down? Like Sundance says ” the illusion of choice”.
Quisling Linda Grahamnesty is assisting the doj & her “friends across the aisle” with her hair on fire rhetoric.
Maybe I missed something but did not the Dems with the help of some Republicans hold a lengthy scam committee to prosecute Trump for inciting the Jan 6 riots. As an aside please do not display a picture of that thing that is supposed to be a woman called Mary
The picture shows Mary made up by professional makeup artists for TV. Imagine waking up next to her in the morning.
More like “imagine waking up next to him in the morning”
Like they say, Politics is Hollywood for ugly people.
Makes me wonder if that is what they want – riots.
They’ve been pushing on MAGA since J6 and in many ways it “feels” like they want someone, anyone to claim to be MAGA to go B*tSH*t crazy and shoot something or someone up so “they” (read Democrats, media, et. al.) and declare martial law, or exterminate anyone considered to be MAGA since they continually declare us to be a danger to society, anti-“democracy”, anti any other derogatory term they can dream up, and fascist.
I am so tired of these people.
They desperately need riots. Don’t be surprised if you see riots of BLM, Antifa dressed in MAGA disguise. The average American will fall for it hook-line and sinker.
Yeah they need a confirmation ,for their “tall tales.”So they can” I Told You so!”
Lindsay’s comment is being used by the media and its troll warriors to project that MAGA is violent (J6) and will “storm” the Capitol, again, if anything happens to President Trump. Basically, saying that MAGA is no different than BLM or AntiFa.
Next, they will say that BLM and AntiFa had to go behind the MAGA crowd and pick up all of the trash, right all the knocked down statues, righted all of the overturned police cars, replaced all of the smashed windshields, removed all the graffiti, healed all the beat down and bloodied observers and press journalists, returned all the looted items, and restored all the burnt down buildings and storefronts that occurred on J6.
Must have been johnny-on-the-spot as I saw none of the above-mentioned items present as I walked down the Mall after the Capitol grounds were cleared that evening.
“Makes me wonder if that is what they want – riots.”
Yes. You can’t have Domestic Terrorism without… you know… terrorism.
As noted, Mary McCoup taking a leadership role…
Doesn’t that go against Potato admin policy, having a white male in a leading role?
Keep the anger frozen. The DS, including Ms. “Gonna” Graham, desperately want to incite violence before the mid terms. The arrest of Trump is obviously one such event but not the only one they have planned.
That is what the hope for so they can cancel misterm,
Is that a box of framed memes?
Chances are President Trump signs them and send them as gifts with a note or comment about their work to the creators.
Someone mentioned they were waiting to see the arrests of Meme creators. …Not to mention the Left can’t meme.
I got kicked off social media for reposting a Hunter meme.
A guy is doing 10 years for election interference for “memes”. Be careful.
I didn’t create it .
Just like I didn’t create songs, art, or news articles I post.
people didn’t riot or enter the Capitol either and are being held and charged
Ironic that these people take words and completely change the wording for public consumption. What 10 years ago would have been known as rioting in normal vernacular is known in the progressive, Fascist world as peaceful protesting. What was known then as parading (as the charges are mostly made) is now rioting or insurrection.
I guess you can’t expect more from groups that think men can have babies and women can impregnate these men!
Juan O Savin: Bloody Hill > Jan 6th Revealed! (rumble.com)
One of the takeaways from above video is a comment that struck me, I’ll paraphrase:
“Since not enough security was present (intentionally) what controlled the massive gathering of those gathered on Jan 6? The crowd.”
The crowd control was the crowd itself.
I have had the same happen on FB multiple times with Hunter memes, Kyle Rittenhouse cartoons, Covid-19 facts…pretty amazing what they get away with.
I only post political stuff on FB and mostly from the articles and comments here and at CFP as well as a few others.
My latest fun thing I do on FB, and I mean on EVERY POST, I add Global Warming, Climate Change, Monkey Pox, COVID-19, VAXX, Vaccine, VAERS….anything that gets a fact check I will add, therefore, my entire feed is mostly all fact checked. Great visual for those paying attention, though, I suspect that FB has me shadow banned as I receive comments and likes only from very few of my over 500 friends.
Is that Douglas “Ricky Vaughn” Mackey? They didn’t even find a statute for what he did on Twitter and they didn’t prosecute a Democrat for the same meme on Twitter.
Nonetheless –
Hunter’s laptop turned out to be real.
As is Ashley’s diary.
And, the election was stolen.
So what do we do? Push back against the media pushing the regime’s story? Let them know we see the unequal application of justice and recognize it for what it is – tyrannical government?
As Sundance points out,…
‘We have seen this same Lawfare play before’; it is a Court case in which ‘winning’ in Court is NOT the goal, the goal is to ‘fight it out’ in the Court of public opinion.
And, every time we see it PLAY out the same, as well.
Their false narrstive lie, with the help of msm and big tech censorship, does indeed ‘run around the World’ before the Truth can get its shoes laced up.
But, the lie is a sprinter, can’t go the distance, while the Truth is a Marathoner, eventually it catches up with the lie, and puts a running shoe 4 1/2′ up the lies butt.
Listed above, from muh russia on, it always plays out the same.
However, the TIME it takes for Truth to catch up to lie, and give it a prictology exam is FAR shorter than it was when all this started.
“So, what do we do?”
Sit back, have a beer, say a prayer, …
“What? Me worry?”
Reminded me of this:
«According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day.
The Lie says to the Truth: “It’s a marvellous day today”!
The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful.
They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well.
The Lie tells the Truth: “The water is very nice, let’s take a bath together!”
The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it, indeed, is very nice.
They undress and start bathing.
Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away.
The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back.
The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage.
The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein, its shame.
Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbours no wish at all to meet the naked Truth.»
Never heard this before but it sums up the Democrats perfectly. The one I was applying was “Why tell the truth when a perfect lie serves the purpose even better?”
Libtard democrats would rather walk a mile to hear a lie than stand still and hear the truth.
Maybe they would ‘rather’, but in reality, look at this and remember how ‘many’ showed up for Joey Shitferbrainz campaign appearances…
Only problem with this clever tale is well, ironically ,…THE TRUTH.
With the exception of the Covid plandemic and inextricably bound 2020 Stealing of the election,…
Their consistent behavior of promulgating a false narrative about PDJT (the Lie) has, in the end hurt them and helped him, as the naked and virtuous TRUTH, once exposed for all to see, has the LIE hiding itself.
The one “battle” they can be said to have won, (Plandemic/ election steal) was of a fundamentally different attack than the lawfare tactic, although it included false narratives (lies) and while it achieved a short term gain (for them) of ousting PDJT from office, the exposure and discrediting that has, and continues as a direct result, has cost them a tremendous amount.
Combined with the installation of Brandon as a direct result OF stealing the election, with Biden quite possibly increasing the MAGA mvmt MORE than a second PDJT term starting in 2021, and even in this ‘succesful’ attack on PDJT, they have ‘lost’ far more than they gained.
That’s awesome — thank you for sharing!
Or as Mark Steyn says, and often… the process is the punishment. And brother, he would know.
“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” W. Churchill
“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” Abraham Lincoln
“People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked…The man who lies to the world, is the world’s slave from then on…There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all.” Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
Love it. These creeps are starting to trip over their own hooey; “Their mouths have written checks their asses can’t cash” American slang/ a twist on True Grit.
“Don’t let your mouth write a check that your ass can’t cash, son.” True Grit Charles Portis
And vote in person on November 8th. Make the steal impossible
Respectfully, a “dissenting opinion” on voting in person on election day.
A major and essential part of carrying out “the Steal” involves various means of voter suppression, employed in combination with creating ghost votes.
Every vote for “Trump” they can suppress, is one less ‘ghost vote’ they have to create.
Sharpiegate as an example.
They knew certain districts (fFountain hills, az.) were heavily MAGA, AND that the MAGA voters were same day voters.
SO, in those voting locations ONLY, and on ELECTION day, they passed out sharpie pens to mark ballots with, knowing that would throw those ballots into “adjudication” where they could then change the vote.
Similarly, many same day MAGA voters are told ‘the record says you have already voted’ and when they insist they are given a “provisional ballot” which means their BALLOT is set aside and will ONLY be opened and counted IF the total # of ballots is enough to change the results, after all other ballots are counted.
Point is, by the overt act of “voting on election day” in and of itself, tells them your vote is the one they want to suppress.
Me and mine in Az. both legitimately qualify for absentee ballots, as could not stand in line for hours.
For 2020, we hand carried our ballots into the polling place, during ‘early voting’ and placed them in the lockbox there.
In the recent primaries, hand carried in and placed in the lockbox, in the County recorder building lobby, under the watchful eye of security guards and cameras.
DID NOT mail them in. As their various efforts at suppressing MAGA ballots are largely focused on “going where the $ is” i.e. heavily MAGA districts ON election day, we very well have evaded such efforts, entirely.
Go where they DON’T expect you, NOT where they expect you?
The judges ruling on the Special Master and appointing one not controlled by the government would end the whole thing
Keep pushing the truth because when you are pushing out the truth your story does not have to change.
God wins.
Once you understand cold anger, the media becomes non sequitur.
FBI saw this just sitting out on a coffee table during their June visit, and POTATUS said “We gotta get in there! PRONTO!!!”…
Probably belongs to one of Trump’s grandkids.
One of my favorite magazines when I was a kid.
Pre-Emptive COUP against Trump has begun to STOP Trump 2024. Now even Conservatives reject him. Ben Shapiro, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, and others have said no to Trump 2024. Many are calling for Ron DeSantis to be the 2024 GOP nominee as he is younger and has less baggage and more accomplishments. But polling data shows that Trump is performing better than most GOP candidates suggesting that he is the best chance for republicans to beat democrats in 2024 and with his endorsements 2022 midterms. polling data shows that Trump is performing better than most GOP candidates suggesting that he is the best chance for republicans to beat democrats in 2024 and with his endorsements 2022 midterms.
Shapiro, Coulter, and Ingraham are Country Club Elite GOPe members not Conservatives. DeSantis does not have “more accomplishments than President Trump
You couldn’t add all three of those idiots together and end up with anything close to a rational thought
They are employing the Trump/DeSantis wedge and it is working for the dumb and stupid.
Or Trump and DeSantis have agreed to milk the never Trumper Lincoln Project cash cow for all they are worth. Win, win.
Love your optimism!
Now THAT is hopium, and clinging to an image as DeSantis as a white hat, even though it in no way comports with reality.
i.e. DENIAL
I’ve heard both Shapiro (his show) and Coulter (on with Clay and Buck) unequivocally state biden won the election.
If they’re too stupid not to question the idea that the potted plant supposedly received ’81+ million individual, legally-cast, American-citizen votes’, I wouldn’t put stock in what they think.
DO NOT WATCH FOX…let them go by the wayside like CNN
The cocktail class.
I trust very few people in governemnt with a JD from Harvard Law School. Look what they have wrought.
I don’t think you can go through the school without having your belief system skewed in a not so good way. DeSantis may yet provide more evidence of the Harvard Law School old boy’s network in government.
Some are more subtle than others, but they all have a role to play in the network.
It just means it is not in their interest financially to admit it.
These are NOT conservatives:
Ben Shapiro, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham
MORE accomplishments. B.S.
“Ben Shapiro, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham” …what do they have in common? life long swamp rats who love to hear themselves talk. The only candidate, the only man, the only president (twice elected) to do anything about what they incessantly talk about. When we finally clean the swamp out these three need to go away.
We now know for certain Trump is our man, thanks gang.
Shapiro and Coulter have been never Trumpers from the beginning.
both have been following the Levin model for years…..self-promoting bloviators
Now even Conservatives reject him. Ben Shapiro, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, and others have said no to Trump 2024.
Wow!
Now I’m breathlessly waiting for George Will and Mona Charen to chime in.
Well, those people named aren’t really conservatives. The talkers earn their living by talking to conservative audiences, telling the people what they think the people want to hear; the politician, well, he’s a politician who got lucky in being elected after being endorsed by an American First President and luckier still that the legislature of his State was actually run by a majority of conservatives.
Newsmax had Niki Haley on last night talking tuff about leaked donors by NY atty general…..
Ann Coulter, the women that dated Bill Maher and Bob Guccione? Ok…….
Just waiting for the Anti-Trump, Trumper Levin to kick in.
There comes a point when one just cannot stand it any more.
Yes, true. All I offer is to hold on to the truth in spite of the despair.
That is when you buckle up, kick ass and take names. What you don’t do is whimper, snivel and quiver like an emu in a winter rain.
Yes indeed. I am at the breaking point, which I’m sure is the idea.
You are not alone. There are tons and tons of weak people with you.
The scaling ruler is just for effect.
These dirty cops and lawyers really need to go to jail. These degenerates are destroying institutions and will burn the country down.
Respectfully, the institutions NEED to be destroyed, and burned to the ground, and the earth salted.
Not ONE thats salvageable.
States, all 57 of them, need to succeed from D.C., which is what extreme federalism is.
Extreme Federalism is withdrawing our consent.
AGAIN….revisit the video…the states count is either 59 or 60 if you pay attention
I like the play on words of “succeed from D.C.” (and rather than from in spite of” might have been more appropriate) rather than “secede from D.C.”
The ruler makes it all “science”
Sundance: Thanks for reading these filings (so I don’t have to). John Solomon posted a detailed article on the General Counsel for the National Archives that also merits a deep dive: https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/national-archives-lawyer-central-mar-lago-raid-sued-reagan-while-aclu
Note particularly the C-SPAN program from January 2021 where the Archives General Counsel outlines his view of President Donald Trump and the Presidential Records Act. Seems to me that deep state actors have been planning the Mar-A-Lago drama since mid-November 2020.
Nice try, but not going to fly. An FBI on the honor system does not resolve the problems that we face. We need reform or a complete restart.
This is like the termination of any personal relationship. If you are in a struggling marriage, you will tolerate abuse in a effort to “make things work out.” And then that one event occurs that let’s you know that the marriage is over. At that point nothing can bring the two parties together again. It is over!
That’s where I am with the FBI, and everyone who I know feels the same. We meed a restart and some very bad people need to go to jail.
You cannot be on the honor system if you have no honor (or morals or scruples or soul).
Why are these slimes always ahead of everyone? No Trump lawyer, who has seen this playbook before, kneecaps these guys before hand. 😢
I don’t see it that way at all. I see it as the noose tightening and they are desperately flailing with everything they have got including the kitchen sink.
Exactly.
Because they know Trump has little regard for institutional norms so they just predict what he might do… thereby setting him up easily and well in advance.
Sundance never sleeps. It would take 5 of me to produce as much as he does on so many different topics.
OK, maybe 6 or 7.
And if done all by the lonesome self…it speaks to the passion and dedication…Commitment.
that has been here for a long, long time.
Passion and dedication…to what is right and honest, is a quality the enemy fears.
Passion and dedication to what is true and right…
“Passion:–strong and barely controllable emotion
The suffering and death of Jesus”
“The Truth has no Agenda”. “Passion” guides!
God bless, Sundance. : ))
The fact remains – these are all stolen materials absconded by criminals no matter what they want to call themselves.
Their actions are illegal and violate our highest law of the land – the Constitution of the United States.
They are the ones on trial.
And God has already found them guilty. We should be on total offense.
President Trump has done nothing wrong. Period.
Wonder how many planted docs in the bunch.
Interesting how the enemy never seems to detect that the hole they are digging to get God’s servants to fall into – it is they who fall in and bury themselves there.
“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”
Even in 1594 lawyers were known as snakes. It’s even more true in 2022, as proven by the two snakes pictured.
Heck, those two aren’t just snakes, they are COBRAS. Hissing, swaying and coiling, preparing to strike…..US and the country we live in!
That’s it? Nothing else? What happens now?
Just wondering what this all means as far as the case goes. Does this mean no special master?
You don’t want to “harm the Nation”, do you?
/sarc
“The department argued in the filing that Trump’s request for a special master “fails for multiple, independent reasons,” saying it’s both “unnecessary” and would “harm national security interests.”
The filing said Trump “lacks standing” for a special master because the records in question belong to the United States, not him.
It said Trump won’t suffer any injury without an injunction “and the harms to the government and the public would far outweigh any benefit” to him.”
‘Lacks standing’ is their favorite ploy. So nonsensical and farcical.
I steal your car and now possess your car.
You sue in court for return of said car.
I claim you have no standing because hey you even admit you do not possess said car at this moment.
Genius.
I think we have to wait until Thurs to see how the judge rules on it.
Prior I never heard of a “special master”. I got along great before and will get along great with or without.
What this means is a very clear path towards an indictment for obstruction of justice… their “go to” crime.
Those two lawyers were so smug back in 2019…. like they already knew the outcomes.
They are two of the faces of evil forces we’re fighting against.
We need spiritual weapons, we can’t do on our own.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus Christ!
What happens if “the blood of Jesus Christ” doesn’t show up?
The blood of Jesus Christ “showed up” already.
it was laid at the Throne of God the Father as the Final Sacrifice so ALL could choose to enter into Glory……by choosing to be bathed within it you are then clothed in His Righteousness and your sins and no longer visible to God the Father…..your sin debt is paid and propitiated
Amen! All the honor and glory to our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
Even David had to pick up a rock.
He picked up 5, but used only one and “in the name of the God of Israel.”
Pay attention to Mr. Red Tie, Norman Eisen. He is the mastermind behind the “Color Revolutions”, think the Maidan in the Ukraine in 2014. Eisen did employ the strategy here vis a vis President Trump, do you recall all the Swampers on TV during the days after the 2016 election that were wearing purple ties, scarves or other articles of clothing that were purple?
Interesting! I remember many references to the color purple, but I’m not sure how that works.
Just the next phase of the on-going IC/military coup.
Those two lawfare scumbags are twisting up their faces so they can’t be recognized, somewhat akin to a mugshot at the County jail.
Are we not in uncharted territory.
The Presidency of the U.S.A. was stolen.
The MSM, and individuals from both parties were complicit in the steal.
We still have honest citizens in Gaol in D.C. your President is still being harassed unceasingly.
Yet your courts sit around with their fingers up their ass.
Should this not be getting to the Supreme Court ASAP.
F*#k me if this were happening to P44 the the Dems and most independents would be enraged.
Rant over…
Cheers!
Well, if the wanted to prove they don’t know the law, they did a great job. Sorry folks the DOJ, et al, do not know the LAW.
They know the law, but more importantly they know that WE can’t enforce the law, only their “associates” can.
LAW—Laughing At Washington (D.C.)
American greatness has an article that says 2 truck loads of boxes were delivered to Trump on Jan 18 ,2021. 2 days before Biden was sworn in as president.
CNBC and Bloomberg business spinning this filing this morning as Trump obstructing justice. And of course, the boxes or folders marked Top Secret. They coordinate everything with their MSM distribution outlets.
Hopefully the judge deciding whether to appoint a Special Master will step up to the plate and hit a home run. John Durham maybe can take this on as he’s familiar with all the sleaze balls involved, and leave his other probe to his, no doubt, very able assistants.
Lol…Durham�
? Durham? Really?
Wait PDJT did claim executive privilege, months ago, and Biden waived it or something saying PDJT couldn’t do executive privilege. they think we do not remember.
Which is absurd.
Fox News reported this morning that there’s word floating around that the judge has decided NOT to allow the Special Master.
Now does this stink, or what. The FBI is a putrid mess.
I have never heard of a Special Master before so I guess I can get along without Special Master now.
Maybe you can, but President Trump wanted one. Seems pretty important to him. I really hope these scrimmage don’t succeed.
Thank God for Sundance and his insight! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
‘DNI Avril Haines will be the next phase, triggered to assist the emphasis of Main Justice and Lawfare.’ – Sundance
DOJ, FBI, ODNI: this is the three-headed criminal triad serving as the public face of the Fourth Branch.
It has been crystal clear since Garland’s July 26th interview with Lester Holt where this is heading:
“The indictment of a former president, and perhaps a candidate for president, would arguably tear the country apart,” Holt said. “Is that your concern as you make your decision down the road here, do you have to think about things like that?”
Garland replied: “We intend to hold everyone, anyone who was criminally responsible for the events surrounding Jan. 6, for any attempt to interfere with the lawful transfer of power from one administration to another, accountable. That’s what we do. We don’t pay any attention to other issues with respect to that.”
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/merrick-garland-not-rule-prosecuting-trump-jan-6-rcna40092
Garland made his intent unmistakable. This interview was the public announcement – the road map – to Trump’s pending indictment. Now the sole question is whether the Fourth Branch conspirators think indicting Trump before or after Nov 8th is more electorally advantageous.
In the Lügenpresse, this week’s meme is that “Biden’s” approval is bouncing back, and Dems have a shot at holding both houses of Clowngress. Those with long memories will recall a similar “inevitable Hillary” meme in 2016. Like a harmony duo partner, the GOPe sings its part to perfection, undercutting Trump-aligned Republicans to the obvious benefit of the D-party.
Having set this runaway train rolling downhill, DOJ now finds that it’s acquiring an urgent momentum of its own. Can procedural maneuvering stall for another 10 weeks till after the election?
Just depends on how overconfident the Fourth Branch seditionists feel. An ‘October surprise’ indictment a couple of weeks before Nov 8th might be ideal from their perspective, to tar Trump-aligned candidates with the innuendo of criminal conspiracy. In a Psych textbook example of projection, the MSM already is accusing Republicans of plotting to steal the election. Trump’s indictment is the planned capstone of this seditious campaign.
Adolph knew how to deal with traitors.
president Trump just needs to declare he’s running for the 2024 presidency. See, then, you’re not allowed to go after him. Isn’t that the way it works? Use their playbook already.
I would hope that the President (you know the real one) is prepared with a counter narrative. His credibility is greater than his enemy. The President, as the representative of the people, determines what is secret. A secret plot to overthrow democracy is a national security issue. Since the plotters are the DOJ et al., and they hide the truth, he can decide that in the name of national security the plotters and their nefarious scheme must be exposed. He does this on behalf of We The People against domestic enemies, in line with his oath. Hence to protect the country the information must be released. They will respond that this is reckless and obstruction of their brand of justice, but really it is an obstruction of injustice. Trump trusts the people not the professional liars who have sold out democracy for their slavemasters.
Again, amongst most people the content of the documents will be more important than the process regulations. We know this because the DOJ ignores process all the time and few even grasp it. Trump has an ally in the truth. He ought to use it.
Trump and his Patriot friends has all this down to a “T”…. Red October.
CNN this AM: “A picture on the final page of the filing showing classified documents strewn about on the floor of Trump’s office…”
Naturally no mention of WHO did the “strewing” and why. The theater production moves on.
The “classified” documents that have cover pages on them, said cover pages created by the DOG. Gee, I think I’ve seen this movie before
The “demographics” of those two in the elevator are impossible to miss.
As I said the other day, the law is what “they” make it but several posters who wear their naivete like a badge stuck with “A president has absolute authority to……..”.
ALL these lawyers come from the same nest.
The entire beach friends lawfare club all need to be part of the helicopter ride club
Like everyone on this website I agree that the raid of President Trump’s home was disgraceful and it is obvious that the Biden regime is looking for a way to convict Trump of a crime so he cannot run again and perhaps even spend time in prison.
Having said all that this doesn’t look good! Why are the people that Trump has surrounded himself making that job so easy?
In response to a subpoena ordering that all documents marked “TOP SECRET” be turned over, a Trump lawyer identified as the “custodian of records” certified that all such documents marked TOP SECRET had already been turned over (see below). IT WAS A LIE! Clearly this is not the case as we see from these photo’s of documents marked TOP SECRET (strategically placed beside a box with Trump’s TIME magazine cover).
The Trump legal team can argue whether or not he had the right to possess TOP SECRET documents. They can argue that by virtue of the fact Trump removed them from the White House while he was President they are automatically declassified but the subpoena was very clear. It asked that all documents with the markings TOP SECRET be turned over to which the Trump lawyer replied that they already turned over such documents.
This is obviously not true as we can see from the pictures and this will probably result in the lawyer being disbarred if not charged with perjury. This lawyers only defense will be that Trump lied to her/him.
This does not look good! Who was the Trump lawyer who signed that certification? Was it one of the three very attractive female attorneys (they look like former swimsuit models) that have been making the rounds nightly on Fox news since the raid?
I can’t help but think that once again Trump has terribly served by the people that he hired to protect him. In this instance it may disqualify him from running in 2024. This is not something that I want to see just stating what I think should be obvious.
There are a number of people who prefer voting for Donald Duck rather than Donald Trump.
the Dimm/commies count on them
True and their plan works. Many lame disregards the most; experienced, competent, leader since Washington for a Joe Biden or something similar by comparison.
I believe black piller is the term most people would use to describe someone like yourself. I highly doubt your “black pilling” will extend any further than the twitter account that you are desperately trying to advertise right now.
Keith’s questioning the competency of Trump’s lawyers is more than valid.
I believe the DOJ redacting their reasons for redacting as well as leaking a photo to the press despite originally telling the district judge that they want their response under seal reveals the DOJ is playing with a much weaker hand than Trump’s lawyers.
Just go ahead already and put the statement you wanted to put at the end: “We need to move forward from this, Trump has too much baggage, DeSantis is who we need to get behind.” Too late, we see you.
Keith – think clearly for a moment…..
The Raid Team redacted the affidavit, but posts a picture of what they supposedly took.
The Raid Team is downstream of Russia Gate, hunters laptop, FBI election interference and a stolen election from the corrupt swamp, but then you trust the same team to tell you the truth about Trump and documents he held because of this photo?
Dude please.
I wish there was a way to see when the poster was registered, what they have posted. Trolls and bots are abound.
If only the cover is marked top secret then all the lawyer has to turn in was the cover.
They asked for all documents marked top secret.
They got it.
You might believe the FBI . . . If . . . you believe the Steele dossier was real and Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation . . .
Muddying the waters is a winning strategy if the truth is what you oppose.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your crime garden grow?

If you want to be taken seriously, probably should start acting like it……I’m not even going to mention the “floating” appearance of the photo., or the 2A placard…….(Staged as SD says)

Wonder if the surveillance cameras caught the production crew?
Trump doesn’t have standing over his own presidential records?

Justice Dept argues Trump doesn’t have standing to request a “special master” to review records seized from Mar-a-Lago… because the records don’t belong to him
LOL…..they already admitted to seizing records they had no right to be in possession of….what drugs are these people doing?
‘Justice Dept argues Trump doesn’t have standing to request a “special master” to review records seized from Mar-a-Lago … because the records don’t belong to him.’ – Troublemaker10
Catch-22, Mr ex-President: you’re under legal attack, but lack standing to defend yourself.
Thus you can be convicted ex parte, in the landmark case styled as United States vs 33 Boxes of Classified Documents.
If only Lavrentiy Beria were still here, to file an amicus curiae brief:
‘The hooligan Defendant brazenly, illegally seeks to defend himself. An automatic sentence of crucifixion is dictated by the Law. So ordered.’
DoJ originally claimed it would take them 2-3 months to sort through the seized documents and separate them out……PDJT files for a “special master” and voila 3 weeks after the illegal raid they are done having identified “few documents that qualify as attorney-client privileged documents”…….first off they VIOLATED the privilege to come to that determination and secondly their possession of them shows they took documents they had no right to cart off with them among the MANY that PDJT rightfully had possession of as declassified documents that he took with him as a part of HIS records
If our duly elected President has no right to possess certain documents, then who does? And by what right?

Seeing documents labeled “classified” or “top secret” has no legal binding impact. Anyone who ever downloaded a declassified document from the FOIA archives has a document marked “top secret” or “classified”.

Human nature. As old as time itself. Predictability. Pattern. Jesus knew. A man strike you on the cheek, turn to him the other also. WHAT?!? Break the Matrix – don’t be so predictable. Like the wind. There’s a clue …
Some are more predictable than others. Programmed even. There’s another clue. Now if you’re good, at what you do. You know? a billionaire, an empire – Oh! all clean too! I repeat, ALL clean. Very important. Anyway, if you are the type of individual that’s good at managing LOTS of stuff at once, big things, very important things – particular type of skill sets …MORE than one. A deadly combination of skill sets, tried, tested …and true. And you knew, no matter what – like chess – moves and counter moves. Limitations. PLAYER limitations. Advantages. What your opponent will do …
Predictability has its advantages.
How many times people need to see President Trump GONE!!! – only to see him turn it around. If you ask me he’s playing them, playing them all. They are walking right into his trap! Mark my words this is not what it appears to be. The corruption MUST be brought to light, and wouldn’t you know it, right on clue (yeah that’s deliberate) President Trump comes up trumps. And yeah, I did it again 😛
The fun part is watching him do his stuff. Only Trump could do this. Covid breaks out “Here’s Fauci and Birx” the man is pure genius. Pure Patriot.

I was just reading on American Greatness by Julie Kelly how the” Three Sisters”, Avril Haines, Susan Rice and Lisa Monaco, are behind everything joining back together from the Obammy years. Susan Rice apparently wrote a book, and mentioned how this gruesome threesome were Bestees. Much to my surprise Sundance was also talking about it.
Thanks for the hat tip.
The Julie Kelly article is an absolute -must read!

If DOJ thought they had Trump on obstruction, they wouldn’t disclose it now, least of all for a motion opposing a special master (it has no legal bearing on that issue anyway). It’s just a smear tactic in their p.r. war against Trump.

Folks, this is sloppy and reeks of desperation.
I like to use the analogy of the dog that finally catches the car, it doesn’t wind up well for the dog. In this case they have caught the Trump Train and in the end this will not end well for the swamp rats. They do not have the consent of the governed and even in a totalitarian government doesn’t end well for the tyrants.
Be prepared, stay alert, keep God and family close, I believe this is going to escalate and Nothing Is Off The Table!
A Constitution protecting Judge would be furious about the leaks. Especially the Dept. Justice trying to coerce the judge’s decision by leaking and displaying so-called-evidence to the press to influence public opinion.
Unfortunately, IMO, we no longer live in the United States of America as a country of laws to protect citizens from tyranny.
Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
Donald Trump grew up listening to Norman Vincent Peale every Sunday. Contrary to the media, he wears his armor well.
As you can tell from the last sentence, this is from a dimwit leftist (but I repeat myself) site, but I find them to be useful idiots for occasionally useful news:
Foley & Lardner Scrub Any Mention of Chris Kise from their Website after He Agrees to Represent Trump in Mar-a-Lago Court Case – 30 Aug 2022
https://wallstreetonparade.com/2022/08/foley-lardner-scrubs-any-mention-of-chris-kise-from-their-website-after-he-agrees-to-represent-trump-in-mar-a-lago-court-case/
According to NBC News and confirmed by Reuters, Donald Trump has located a new lawyer that is willing to step into the Palm Beach, Florida court case involving the U.S. Justice Department’s raid at Trump’s beach resort/hotel/event-venue and private residence known simply as Mar-a-Lago. (For background, see our previous report: Mar-a-Lago: Thousands of People of Questionable Character Have Visited this Resort/Hotel in the 18 Months That Trump Stashed Top Secret Documents There.)
According to NBC News, the new lawyer, Chris Kise, worked for the law firm Foley & Lardner right up until NBC News reported that Kise had taken the job representing Trump. NBC News reports that the bio for Kise then suddenly disappeared from Foley & Lardner’s website. (We can go a step further than that: the law firm also scrubbed past articles it had published on its website that profiled Kise. See a Google cache of a 2008 article at Foley.com announcing Kise was returning to Foley & Lardner after serving in the administration of then Florida Governor Charlie Crist. Another Google cache from the Foley.com website in 2018 is an announcement that Kise would be serving as counselor to then Florida Governor-Elect Ron DeSantis’ transition team. DeSantis has his eyes on the White House in 2024 and is thoroughly enmeshed in the radical right agenda.)
