Trump allies think there's a traitor in Mar-a-Lago who informed on him to the FBI

Allies of Donald Trump believe that an aide or aides to the former president may have "flipped" and provided evidence to the FBI about what he was keeping in his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Axios reported.

According to the report, people close to Trump are filled with paranoia after the FBI raid Monday on the resort Trump has made his home since leaving the White House.

Per Trump's camp, the search was for documents Trump brought to Mar-a-Lago from the White House when leaving office, an issue which prompted previous complaints from the US National Archives.

Trump's lawyer, Christina Bobb, told The Washington Post Tuesday that his legal team had a discussion earlier in the year with Department of Justice lawyers about material being kept in a Ma-a-Lago basement.

Cue the circular firing squad.

The criminals begin to get agitated, squirrelly, paranoid.

Who is squealing, who is wire tapped, who is under surveillance.

And the criminals start doing incriminating things like talk amongst themselves.
Hide and destroy evidence. Threaten possible witnesses.

Someone is out to get them.

But yes cults are paranoid, they feel special and unique.
Others don't appreciate them, others want to hurt them.

The cult leader uses this as a way to manipulate followers.
Makes the followers more isolated, distrusting family and friends.

Also makes the followers more likely to commit crimes, including violent ones.

Have been close enough to the RTumpster to have his ear…

An even more limited number would know which of RTump’s purloined materials were actually worth keeping…

And and even smaller number would be entrusted to know or have access to articles kept in TFG’s safe…

Safe to say, this will soon become apparent…

Loose lips sink ships, and

Paranoid lips let info slip…

Watch this space…

That is all…

Every administration or group is going to have leaks. I found it hysterical that the leaks were both true and that they never figured out who was doing it.

Don’t you give certain groups of people info and then if it leaks BAM the search narrows. Right?

And all those "visitors" to his golf club? Who knows what they're up to?

He should build a wall (nobody knows more about building walls than Trump), dig a moat, stock it with gators, and not let anybody in or out. Ever.

about Alitos abortion memo for about a week. They pointed every finger at the dreaded Left. Then...silence. Ts people will hog the airwaves until it doesn't suit their narrative anymore.

Don't tell ANYONE.

Know how a secret is kept between 2 people? One of them is dead.

Of course there will be flippers. There always are.
