    When he goes fully unhinged, who do you think he will try and blame?

    Sounds like he got swept up in the world of espionage and will soon be in the next xXx movie with Ice Cube and the Diesel.

    It's so funny. There are media personalities who make far more heinous claims about Biden that aren't prosecuted.

    To thing the Biden would go full fascist because a reporter was going to write a book about the failed withdrawal is laughable. It would make far more sense for him in your make believe world to do this to someone who is spreading far more "damning things" like the various people trying to find the secrets of Hunter's laptop.

    Sure you may think private citizens don't need access to the NOC list, and that they shouldn't, you know, steal it, and then lie repeatedly to say they haven't stolen it, and then try to hide it.

    But does Ann Althouse?

    Well now we know Trump took top secret documents about Iran and China. As a Putin lover I smell the scent of espionage.

    Federal prosecutors examining Donald Trump’s unauthorized retention of highly sensitive government documents at his Mar-a-Lago property will obtain testimony from top adviser Kash Patel after granting him limited immunity from prosecution, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

    The immunity – a powerful tool that forces witnesses to testify on the promise that they will not be prosecuted for their statements or information derived from their statements – takes effect on 2 November and signals the importance of his testimony to the criminal investigation.

    Trump and advisers like Patel have claimed repeatedly since the Mar-a-Lago search that the seized documents were declassified, though no such evidence has emerged and Trump’s lawyers have not repeated the assertions in court filings, where they could face penalties for lying.

    As Patel is a close adviser to Trump – he maintains a personal relationship with the former president – who was also appointed as one of his representatives to the National Archives, the justice department is expected to ask Patel about the circumstances behind the documents at Mar-a-Lago.


    The push to secure Patel’s testimony intensified after he was summoned earlier this month to testify before a federal grand jury in Washington hearing evidence about Trump’s mishandling of government documents and potential obstruction when he resisted returning certain records.

    Patel asserted his fifth amendment right against self-incrimination to an array of questions, the sources said, though the basis for some was not clear; even if the documents were not declassified, making false public statements would likely not be a crime.

    In the obstruction investigation examining Trump by the former special counsel Robert Mueller, for instance, prosecutors concluded that the former president’s false statements about his campaign’s ties to Russia could only be considered criminal if he made them to Congress or the FBI.

    But after chief US district court judge Beryl Howell in Washington agreed that Patel could justifiably believe he had reason to assert the fifth, the justice department applied for an order giving him limited immunity from prosecution that was granted late last week, the sources said.

    The justice department’s willingness to grant use immunity to Patel underscores how important they consider his testimony as prosecutors continue to collect evidence against Trump through his current and former aides.

    Prosecutors only grant immunity to witnesses as a last resort, especially in high-profile cases, since it makes potentially prosecuting them in the future much more difficult, and the move requires internal approval at the highest levels of the justice department.

    The justice department has also pressured Trump’s valet Walt Nauta to sit for an additional interview to answer questions about how Trump instructed him to remove boxes from a storage room at Mar-a-Lagowhere documents marked classified were stashed, one of the sources said.

    Nauta has resisted having another interview with prosecutors – on the advice of his lawyer, who also represents Patel – after they indicated they were skeptical of an initial account he gave about moving documents
    from the storage room and raised the prospect of charging him with obstruction.

    Patel is definitely someone that needed immunity.
