They couldn't find a mattress tag on one of the guest beds. This is first time that Trump is in real legal trouble. The media and DOJ are giddy with the success. Trump's a gonner now.

His taking the 5th was in effect telling that vicious & vindictive Black Widow, Leticia James, who's trying to build her sorry reputation on persecuting Trump, to take off her shoes & quietly tip toe to hell. I applaud him for doing it.

The FBI's just took the 15 boxes without taking inventory what were in each box. A gross violation of the process.

The FBI's could fabricate or plant evidence against Trump put in the box, and then accuse and convict trump for that. In 2016, FBI's planted hoax during the FISA, and the Russia hoax report.

I don't trust FBI's anymore. They are weapons of the communist democrats. Everything they do are fabrications, assaulting president Trump and all the staff around him. E.g. Innocent Carter Page, Papadopoulos. Gen. Flynn, Manafort, Peter Navarro. Mayor Giuliani. The damages done to these men were insurmountable. They got bankrupted for legal costs . Gen. Flynn served the Armed Forces 33 years, and yet totally destroyed by the SATANIC democrat party. Same as the rest.

SATAN democrats wanted also to bankrupt president Trump. That Leticia James, a black corrupt democrat Atty. Gen. in NYC, wanted to extort and bankrupt president Trump. She is not contented that NYC is run under all corrupt black leaders, and ruined the most once beautiful city of the world. Now, it is the filthiest, most corrupt, and violent city of the world under blacks. They are jealous that Trump earned and worked for his money all the years of his life.

Who carries more weight, Laetitia James or Stacey Abrams?

The search warrant was way too broad. It was literally for every record produced during Trump's 4-year term of office! See warrant's subsection (c). It permits the seizure of “any government and/or Presidential Records created” throughout the four years of Trump’s presidency.

Plainly, this has nothing to do with classified information. It is mainly designed to use the criminal law — the search warrant, an intrusive tactic for retrieving evidence of crimes — to enforce the Presidential Records Act, which is not a criminal statute.

Can DOJ get away with this? Perhaps. Section 2071 is very broad, targeting anyone who “removes” or “destroys” “any” government record. If you are wondering how this did not apply to Hillary Clinton’s removal of tens of thousands of government-related emails and willful destruction of tens of thousands of others, you are not alone. In any event, Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure permits the seizure not only of evidence of a crime but also of “items illegally possessed.” It seems clear from the context that this phrase is meant to apply to items derived from criminal activity. Literally, though, it is clearly broader than that.

Since Congress did not choose to attach criminal penalties to violations of the Presidential Records Act, what we see here amounts to the Justice Department fashioning a new crime for Donald Trump. This is not my idea of the even-handed enforcement of the law — no partisan discrimination — that Attorney General Merrick Garland insisted he pursued in his remarks on Thursday.

The insinuation here isn’t hard to figure out. The government misused the Presidential Records Act, reinterpreting it as a criminal statute so that they could have a blank check to raid Trump’s home. That means the warrant allowed for the confiscation of absolutely anything related to Trump’s presidency, and the breadth of what was seized went far beyond just the excuse of needing to protect classified information (which the former president had the power to declassify).

Which only underscores how out of bounds the entire raid was. The justification is so paper-thin that it’s only logical to assume the FBI had other motives, and given the DOJ’s obvious coordination with the January 6th committee, wouldn’t that seem likely?

That’s gotta be what this is, right? AG Merrick Garland has been shamelessly coordinating raids and seizures for months now with the January 6th committee. We saw it with the raid of Jeff Clark’s home and the recent taking of phones from GOP members of Congress. Liz Cheney and company say jump, and the DOJ asks how high.

In this case, it just makes no sense that the government was so super-concerned about Trump having classified documents that they waited 18 months to go get them. Instead, it sure looks like the floundering January 6th committee has found nothing and is now using the DOJ to try to fish for more “evidence” of an organized coup.

I was going to say neck and neck, but letitia doesn’t have one.

Bravo! Good post.
It all boils down to optics. Treat Trump like a criminal. And they have been doing that since he descended the escalator.
