It benefits him politically to keep it hidden. He's creating a void and allowing his party apparatus to do the work of filling it for him.
Whenever someone can prove their innocence via a simple method, and yet they choose to pursue the most convoluted method to prove their innocence instead, you can be almost 100% assured they are in deep **** and/or lying.
Wut? Every time he tries to hijack a thread, he is both rude and insulting. He rarely posts evidence of anything. Your blind spot for O's is really weird. He is interested in trolling and getting a rise out of people, he has said as much over and over, why do you ignore that? You sound like a Trump apologist, which is hilarious since you hate Trump and his minions.
“Collusion” isn’t a crime so it shouldn’t be surprising that manafort et Al. We’re convicted of other crimes. That said I find the defense of “well they were convicted of other crimes” a pretty sad defense for arguing that there was nothing there.
I'm only commenting on my experience with him. As I mentioned, I'm not familiar with all of the back and forth.
I agree with most of this post but Mueller was. Republican and went very out of the way ti avoid the impression of partisanship. Many think he went too far in giving deference to Trump out of the fear of appearing partisan.
Lol. So after 48 hours of constant **** flipping for an explanation you're going to doubt what is said before it even gets said?
Report: A secret grand jury subpoena was served to Trump before Mar-a-Lago search The search of former President Donald Trump’s Florida home this week was precipitated by a secret grand jury subpoena for classified documents served to him this June, according to new reports out Thursday. This was first reported by John Solomon at Just the News and quickly picked up by outlets like CNN and MSNBC. On June 3, a prosecutor and a trio of FBI agents showed up at Mar-a-Lago for a meeting. The subject of that meeting was boxes with White House records housed in a storage room at Trump’s Palm Beach property. According to Just the News, an anonymous source said the meeting was specifically related to documents sought in relation to the grand jury subpoena. That subpoena requested that Trump produce any and all documents that had classification labels, including any “mementos” or other notes and pictures he may have kept from his impeachment-marred single term in the White House. Trump, who was not expected at the June 3 meeting, abruptly appeared and told the prosecutor and trio of agents he would comply. Per Just the News, two eyewitnesses recall Trump telling the law enforcement group: “Look, whatever you need, let us know.” The agents then asked to look at the storage locker in the basement at Mar-a-Lago. Trump and his lawyers allowed the search. According to Trump’s campaign attorney, Christina Bobb, a few days after that meeting, the FBI’s chief of counterintelligence and export control, Jay Bratt, contacted Trump’s legal team and asked that a padlock be installed on the door where the sensitive documents were kept. What then followed was the disclosure of key information to investigators. There were more boxes with classified information on the property. This was in addition to the 15 boxes the National Archives had retrieved earlier after much back-and-forth with Trump. The contents of those boxes, according to the National Archives, included classified or otherwise sensitive information. This sparked the FBI to show up with a warrant, something agents only obtained after they were able to convince a magistrate judge that there was likely evidence of a crime that had been committed. Publicly, Trump has continued attacks on virtually every institution, from the FBI to the Department of Justice to Congress and the White House, saying the various probes into his affairs and conduct are part of a larger “witch hunt” against him. His reaction to the search of his home has sparked a wave of threats of violence to lawmakers anew and has generated an intense new round of conspiracy theories about the “deep state” attempt to take down Donald Trump But Trump’s attorneys, at least when it comes to the records search at Mar-a-Lago, have been cooperative. According to reports from The Wall Street Journal and CNN alike, Trump’s attorney Evan Corcoran complied not just with the request to padlock the door but also provided surveillance footage from Mar-a-Lago to authorities when it was requested under a separate subpoena issued to the Trump Organization. The warrant for the Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago contains mention of a possible violation of the Presidential Records Act, Trump’s attorney Christina Bobb, has said. Trump, at any time, could publish the itemized warrant to potentially end the miasma of questions and misinformation swirling around the search, but he has not and is not expected to. The Department of Justice, as a rule, does not release warrant applications to the public, so it is up to the former president to offer this transparency for the moment. Trump has dubbed the search a “siege” of his home by FBI agents, but those officers who showed up for the search did so quietly and discretely in plain clothes instead of their typical unmistakable blue jackets or with guns drawn, lights blazing. The meeting in June and the search on Monday have been described repeatedly by sources as “cordial.” Three rooms were searched on Aug. 8. Agents took 10 boxes, according to the Wall Street Journal. The items taken are now believed to be held in Miami. FBI agents are required under law to leave behind a copy of their search warrant when they conduct a raid. The warrant would also include an inventory of what items were taken, but even those descriptors could be vague. The warrant would also typically itemize what possible crimes were committed. It is the affidavit bearing details of probable cause that is key. This is the record necessary for a judge to approve a warrant, but it will remain sealed for now. It is only made public if charges are filed.
