Huffpost: TFG and family watched most of FBI search on MaLago's CCTV as it occurred...

[allegorical oracle]

"Trump never mentioned on his social media platform that agents were in view of surveillance cameras throughout most of the search and were being watched by him and his family members, according to his own attorney. He has insisted there were 'no witnesses.'"

[viva la]

1. He and his attorney are deliberately lying

Claiming the agents could have planted something.

[cstanleytech]

15. If his lawyer is lying you would think he would be facing an ethics investigation though.

[jaxexpat]

32. Can't say that anything Trump does is "deliberate".

That implies some forethought and at least "localized" logic. Perhaps it would be more appropriate and accurate to say, "instinctively lying" or "reflexively lying".

[viva la]

34. "Perpetually lying"

Incessantly lying.

[GB_RN]

2. No Witnesses, Eh?

Since when has tRump, or his lawyer, ever told the truth - deliberately. It only happens in slip-of-the-tongue moments like this.

You know Dolt45’s lying when his lips are moving.

[Victor_c3]

3. A video of that would be useful in proving the FBI did/didn't plant evidence

I suspect any recording might end up being deleted by trump.

[msfiddlestix]

4. I wonder if the CCTV recording can be submitted as evidence? n/t

[Scrivener7]

9. I know they got CCTV from Log O' Merde, but they really need to get it from where they

were watching.

Those things sat in that room for 18 months. We need to know who made copies.

[msfiddlestix]

11. ✔️ Ty n/t

[Scrivener7]

12. Timmy the pool boy suddenly has a mansion and a yacht.

At the same time as Petrov, our valuable ally in Spotsylvania, has fallen out of a fifth floor window.

[jaxexpat]

33. Twas a sad day for comedy when Jay Ward exited this mortal coil. Where is moose?

Yes, Fearless Leader. Of course, Fearless Leader.

[LuvLoogie]

27. The storage hard drives are usually on the same network

as the cameras. Watching remotely can be done over the internet via a browser and secure login.

[Ferrets are Cool]

5. DAYUM, I had not even thought of that. OF COURSE they had surveillance cameras.

And OF COURSE, they were watching ever moment of this go down. What I wouldn't give for a video of his reaction during this search.

[gab13by13]

6. It is good that it happened this way,

but 9 times out of 10 the people being searched are not present during the search. It is not common procedure to have a lawyer observing the search.

[PJMcK]

7. Trump's lawyer was present for the search

She even signed the receipt.

Trump's allegation that the FBI planted evidence is just more BS without a shred of evidence. Let's see his lawyers try to make that case in court. Without evidence they'll be shut down. In fact, the government could probably demand that the lawyer who was there be forced to testify.

Trump is so transparent. Lock him up.

[dalton99a]

17. +1

[blogslug]

8. Release the video!

I would watch the shit out of the FBI confiscating boxes from Donny's house. In a perfect world there would be video of them watching the video, freaking out and yelling at each other while it happens...

Whoa. I think I just wrote the cold open for this season's premiere of SNL.

[tavernier]

10. Quite possibly the FBI also has a recording of the search.

We heard there were a lot of agents there. One may have been there to document the search of the documents. I reckon Garland anticipated all of their excuses.

[Claustrum]

13. I saw reporting to the effect of no video recording

During the search because they don’t want any leaks. With so many agents and so many rooms to search, one person wouldn’t be able to capture the whole search.

[tavernier]

22. Yeah that makes sense.

[paleotn]

14. Donnie lied? Say it ain't so.

Better yet, when does he NOT lie?

[Irish_Dem]

16. Reality TV star watching his demise on TV.

Seems fitting.

[SKKY]

21. It does seem ironic, no?

[Irish_Dem]

23. Irony abounds.

The GOP made Trump, now they are unmaking him.
Trump's ego made him POTUS, now his ego is taking him down.

I could go on and on.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

18. Person, woman, man, camera, TV.

[3Hotdogs]

19. MORE FUKKIN' FAKE NEWS. Did you ever try to watch shit on a CCTV

with ketchup running down the screen?

[tanyev]

37. ...

[Jarqui]

20. The FBI ordered the cameras turned off when they arrived

This contradicts her position on the day of the search:

Here she says the cameras were only off for a short period of time

On Monday, she complained that she was unable to watch the search and that the cameras had been turned off at the request of the FBI (because they could be looking at classified documents/material) and therefore, she was concerned the FBI would plant evidence.

Trump and another Trump lawyer also floated planting of evidence Monday.

But now they're saying they watched nearly the whole search on CCTV. So where is the CCTV showing the agents planting 39 boxes of evidence?

Hopefully, the FBI subpoenas that video (as they have in the past) to make sure copies of classified docs are not made and Trump doesn't doctor it.

[Kid Berwyn]

28. That TV news reader sure can lawyer!

[LeftInTX]

39. According to Bobb, the cameras were turned back on after she complained.

Meanwhile, Bobb said she was "stuck in the parking lot" of Mar-a-Lago, "there to collect paper and answer questions."

"But they were actually able to see the whole thing," Bobb added of Trump and his family, though it's unclear which family members were with him at the time. "They actually have a better idea of what took place inside."

Bobb claimed that the FBI had initially told them to turn off security cameras in Mar-a-Lago and the staff complied — until "the lawyers stepped in."

"Shortly after, they turned them back on," she said, "so the cameras were only off for a very short period of time."

She was stuck in the parking lot and couldn't watch, but Trump got to watch on CCTV in New York

[Jarqui]

40. I saw that

It is not what she said the day of the search.

She used the cameras being turned off and her inability to see the search as grounds to suggest the FBI was planting evidence.

Trump attorney: No proof 'something wasn't planted' in FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago

Link to tweet

I can't find the article with her claim about the cameras. She reported the FBI had them turned off and never claimed they had been turned back on. Her complaint was that without the cameras or her ability to observe, the FBI could be planting evidence.

[Mr. Ected]

24. Well...they COULD HAVE planted evidence. WHAT IF they planted evidence?

You know you can't trust THEM. THEY do this all the time, you never hear anything about it, do you?

Why aren't we investigating THEM? They're the ones trying to ruin our country!

It COULD HAVE happened. Therefore it did. Or something else did.

What were we talking about again?

*Trump Talk*

[louis-t]

25. He whined "they made my attorney stay outside in the hot sun."

So he can continue the 'planted evidence' lie. He declassified the documents....that the FBI planted?

[louis-t]

26. Oh and another thing. If the agents brought in boxes of documents to plant

and his attorney was 'forced to stay outside in the hot sun' wouldn't the attorney have seen them bringing in the boxes?

[EnergizedLib]

29. Oh, he watched it as it happened?

How much ketchup was on the walls?

[Farmer-Rick]

30. Yeah, the FBI made that known yesterday afternoon

But it's good that we focus on it now since Soo much info came out yesterday.

I'm sure Trump knew it was recorded when he claimed the FBI was planting evidence and supposedly trashed his trashy hotel golf course.

He's such a liar he can't help but make obvious lies on top of obvious lies.

Of course there are tapes. Does law enforcement act anymore without them?

[aggiesal]

31. Wonder if he has cameras in all the rooms? ...

He seems like a pervert.

[Scrivener7]

35. His good friend Jeffrey probably wired them up.

[crickets]

36. K&R for visibility.

[LeftInTX]

38. Ugh...I knew he watched on CCTV

I could tell by his voice on my TV that he had witnessed everything.

On Monday, I'm sitting at my computer. The TV is in another room. I suddenly hear Trump's loud voice, "They raided everything!!" He was going into detail. I'm so out of the loop, that I didn't know Trump's home was being search, but his voice on TV told me everything.

I read his lawyer negotiated to have them turned on. (But I could be wrong)

I'm sure the FBI would notice if cameras had been turned on illegally.
