Quote:1) Trump envoy releases letter from National Archives deemed 'extraordinary damning' for Trump

Hehe.
The NARA letter is "damning" to Trump "on any number of levels," including it's "lack of any reference to a claim by Trump's representatives that he had declassified any of the classified materials," adds University of Texas law professor Steve Vladeck. "It's also telling that, even though this letter really hurts the Trump version of events, it wasn't released by the Biden Administration or NARA. It was released by Trump's own team — both a self-inflicted wound and further proof of how the government has been playing by the rules."

2) The U.S. government retrieved more than 300 classified documents from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home this year, according to a new report. The fact that there were so many classified documents remaining after multiple government requests to return them suggested Trump was not cooperating and was handling them in a cavalier way.

3) Trump hired cronies to search top-secret docs he believed would erase 'stain' of his impeachment
Trump was desperate for documents that he thought would somehow absolve him of the offenses for which he was impeached and criminally investigated. He believes that there is some smoking gun in the classified archives of the government that will somehow cleanse him and allow him to run again, that will provide him with political leverage.

4) 'Yikes': Experts stunned after Trump's late-night release of incredibly incriminating NARA document
Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti said, "The letter also confirms that Trump was on notice that the documents he possessed were federal government property and that he needed to return them to the government’s possession. Very uphill battle for Trump’s team."

It turns out that the White House was directly involved in the raid and colluded with the DOJ and the FBI all the way back in May despite lying and saying they found out about it because of the News.
Not only that, but there's a bit of Entrapment going on here as well along with an unprecedented act of a sitting Administration revoking rights to classified documents of a former president, which may in and of itself be deemed unconstitutional. Not good for Biden* while the SCOTUS makeup looks like it does.
Joe Biden* is fucked.

The government tried to recover the documents peacefully and quietly. They spent one year discussing the matter with Trump’s staff.
After identifying more missing records, the government returned in June with a subpoena and found more boxes of records that should have been returned. Both times, properly marked classified documents – up to and including documents marked as Top Secret and requiring Sensitive Compartmented Information access eligibility – were located within the boxes.
A Trump lawyer swore out an affidavit promising there were no more documents. The government gathered evidence that the Trump lawyer was not being truthful, and on August 8, 2022, a court-authorized search warrant was executed that, sure enough, located several more classified documents.
The truth needs to be set forth plainly and simply, and so let’s get down to brass tacks here. What happened on August 8, 2022, was not tyranny. It was not political persecution. It was not a minor dust up over bureaucratic processes blown out of proportion. It was the criminal justice system operating just like it does with any other private citizen on any other given day ending in a "y."
Trump was the president and commander-in-chief up until noon on January 20, 2021. The moment Joe Biden took the Oath of Office, Trump became just another private citizen in his 70s who vacations in Florida during the winter months to avoid the bitter cold back in his native home in the Northeast. He was no longer shielded by any privileges or protections of the Office of the Presidency at the point beyond physical security protection. He is subject to the laws of the United States just like anyone else.
What also is true is that Trump had particular legal obligation as the former president to properly turn over presidential records to the National Archives and Records Administration. That is mandated by the Presidential Records Act because those records are the property of the United States. They are not Trump’s personal property.
The result was apparently more than 25 boxes’ worth of presidential records were shipped to Florida and stored in a basement at Mar-a-Lago. If this were a mere issue of simply recovering unclassified presidential records, though, there likely never would have been a criminal element to this matter. But buried into those boxes were countless properly marked classified documents. Those documents lacked any markings indicating that Trump had ever declassified them. No actual substantiated evidence indicates Mr. Trump ever declassified them. No one viewing those records would have any reason to view them as anything other than properly classified documents.

Trump will get two bullets in the back of the head.
Are you still calm? Or are you archiving that, 6ix? Archiving proves once again you don't believe what you write over and over about Trump's inevitable good fortune, e.g. Trump will be fine, Trump will be President, Democrats are dead, etc.
If Trump is worried about the FBI violating the sanctity of Mar-a-Lago, Trump should be extremely worried that the Secret Service won't protect him from assassination. Who will Trump sue if he thinks Biden has given the Secret Service orders to not lay down their lives to protect Trump?

Don McGahn had one foot out the door because he thought Trump was ‘crazy’
Don McGahn was ready to quit as White House counsel for Donald Trump until the managing partner of an influential conservative law firm persuaded him to stay.
McGahn had been personally responsible for picking Trump's judges, whose ranks he filled with conservatives approved by the Federalist Society, and gutting the administrative state, but less than six months into the job he was growing increasingly frustrated with handling the former president's legal problems, according to excerpts from the new book "Servants of the Damned" published by the New York Times Magazine.
"For his part, McGahn was growing worried about his own potential legal exposure — especially when Trump in June 2017 pushed him to fire Mueller," wrote author David Enrich. "McGahn refused and contemplated quitting. Around then, he called [Jones Day managing partner Stephen] Brogan. The president was crazy, McGahn fumed. Maybe, he ventured, he should cut his losses and return to Jones Day."
But Brogan, who had unsuccessfully sought the job as Trump's personal outside counsel, wanted to maintain the close relationship the firm enjoyed with the administration, whose ranks were filled with Jones Day alumni, and the firm handled a multitude of cases for the former president and his campaigns.
"Being unhappy is 'not a good enough reason to quit,' Brogan replied, according to McGahn’s confidant," Enrich wrote. "If McGahn threw in the towel so soon after joining the White House, it would look bad not just for McGahn but also for Jones Day. McGahn, who had gotten as far as packing up his office, heeded Brogan’s advice and stayed put until late 2018. By then, he had accomplished his mission."
"The Senate had just confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, the second justice McGahn had chosen, Trump had nominated and Mitch McConnell’s Senate had confirmed," Enrich added. "With McGahn in charge of selecting judicial nominees, the White House had nominated more than 130 judges to the federal courts in a span of 21 months. By the time they were confirmed, fully one-quarter of the appellate bench had turned over."

Inside Trump's public bravado and private resistance over Mar-a-Lago documents
Not long after the National Archives acknowledged in February that it had retrieved 15 boxes of presidential records from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, Trump began fielding calls from Tom Fitton, a prominent conservative activist.
Fitton, the longtime head of the legal activist group Judicial Watch, had a simple message for Trump — it was a mistake to give the records to the Archives, and his team should never have let the Archives "strong-arm" him into returning them, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
Those records belonged to Trump, Fitton argued, citing a 2012 court case involving his organization that he said gave the former President authority to do what he wanted with records from his own term in office.
The Judicial Watch president suggested to Trump that if the Archives came back, he should not give up any additional records, according to sources with knowledge of their conversations, which have not been previously reported.
While Trump continued to publicly tout his cooperation with the Archives, privately the former President began obsessing over Fitton's arguments, complaining to aides about the 15 boxes that were handed over and becoming increasingly convinced that he should have full control over records that remained at Mar-a-Lago, according to people with knowledge of his behavior at the time.
Trump even asked Fitton at one point to brief his attorneys, said a person familiar with the matter.
"The moment Tom got in the boss' ear, it was downhill from there," said a person close to the former President, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.

Trump Will Be Indicted
(1) Trump was in unauthorized possession of national defense information, namely properly marked classified documents.
(2) He was put on notice by the U.S. Government that he was not permitted to retain those documents at Mar-a-Lago.
(3) He continued to maintain possession of the documents (and allegedly undertook efforts to conceal them in different places throughout the property) up until the FBI finally executed a search warrant earlier this month.
That is the ball game, folks. Absent some unforeseen change in factual or legal circumstances, I believe there is little left for the Justice Department to do but decide whether to wait until after the midterms to formally seek the indictment from the grand jury.
The cruelest irony for Trump is that it never needed to be this way.
If he had returned all of the records last year, this likely never would have become a criminal matter. DOJ would have declined to take any action, notwithstanding the existence of the classified records, and it would have been a “no harm, no foul” situation.

Easy as 1, 2, 3
1) U.S. feared Trump’s mishandling of intelligence files put spies’ lives at risk
Spies risk imprisonment or death stealing the secrets of their own governments. Their identities are among the most closely protected information inside American intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Losing even one of them can set back American foreign intelligence operations for years.
Clandestine human sources are the lifeblood of any espionage service. This helps explain the grave concern within American agencies that information from undercover sources was included in some of the classified documents recently removed from Mar-a-Lago, the Florida home of former President Donald J. Trump — raising the prospect that the sources could be identified if the documents got into the wrong hands.
Mr. Trump has a long history of treating classified information with a sloppiness few other presidents have exhibited. And the former president’s cavalier treatment of the nation’s secrets was on display in the affidavit underlying the warrant for the Mar-a-Lago search. The affidavit, released in redacted form on Friday, described classified documents being found in multiple locations around the Florida residence, a private club where both members and their guests mingle with the former president and his coterie of aides.
Nothing in the documents released on Friday described the precise content of the classified documents or what risk their disclosure might carry for national security, but the court papers did outline the kinds of intelligence found in the secret material, including foreign surveillance collected under court orders, electronic eavesdropping on communications and information from human sources — spies.
