The Saudis were the guests at Bedminster on August 2nd.

Why Trump did not turn over the documents before the search warrant of August 8th is a puzzling question?

Could it be that he was saving some of the documents for his friends who were coming to Bedminster on the first of August? And he could not give them up because he had already been paid for them, thru his intermediary, his son-in-law?

The timeline:


January 20, 2021: President Biden is inaugurated, and former President Trump departs the White House without notifying the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) that he has removed several presidential records, including highly classified material.

May 2021: NARA informs Trump that a number of official documents have not been transferred to its custody. NARA and Trump’s representatives negotiate the return of some of these documents in the ensuing months.

January 17, 2022: Trump turns over some 15 boxes of documents to NARA, some of which the agency says “had been torn up by former President Trump” and including some that “had not been reconstructed by the White House.”

February 2022: NARA alerts the DOJ that some records remain missing and that some of those recovered are highly classified, reportedly including information on need-to-know special access programs. (see below)

Spring 2022: The DOJ issues a subpoena to Trump for the missing documents.

June 3, 2022: The DOJ’s top counterintelligence officer travels to Mar-a-Lago to collect documents as part of the subpoena.* Former President Trump’s lawyers turn over additional withheld classified documents. At least one of Trump’s lawyers reportedly signs a written statement that inaccurately asserts that Trump has returned to the government all classified material at the resort.

June­–July 2022: Federal investigators subpoena surveillance camera footage from Mar-a-Lago’s security cameras and receive information from at least one witness that more classified material may still be at the former president’s residence.

August 8, 2022: The FBI executes the search warrant to retrieve any remaining government documents from Mar-a-Lago. This warrant is based on: 1) the existence of probable cause that a crime has been committed and 2) a strong reason to believe that material evidence is likely to be on the premises. The FBI removes several boxes of classified documents from the resort, again after multiple previous attempts to convince Trump to voluntarily return all presidential records and documents in his possession.

2. It was just days after his fucking Saudi-funded golf tournament - someone

needs to connect the dots between Chump's hands in that MBS cookie jar and the specific documents that would benefit the Saudis, and it would likely go a long way in explaining motivation for the document theft in the first place.

4. The Saudis were trying to get nuclear technology for the entire time Trump was in White House.

There were early reports of Erik Prince meeting with people on a small island off the coast of Africa, near Madagascar, to discuss the possibilities. It was a small group of "investors" involved, including the Russians. The Saudis were willing to pay big bucks to build nuclear power plants throughout their country.

3. I am the only person saying this, pure conjecture.

The PGA was supposed to hold a major tourney at Bedminster, this year. It pulled the plug on Trump and he was furious.
Trump holds grudges, we know he wants to get back at the PGA.

What if Trump gave those S-FRD military-related nuclear documents to the Saudis? What price would Trump charge them? 2 billion dollars? Is Trump a silent partner in the new Saudi LIV golf league that is trying to bring down the PGA? Did I mention that a LIV tourney was just held at Bedminster? Did I mention there is a Saudi backed women's golf tourney being played at another Trump course in the Bronx? Trump owns courses in Scotland, will we see LIV tourneys there soon? Nice way to launder money to Trump through a golf tournament. The Scots have also shunned Trump's courses for the British Open.

The Saudis are paying enormous amounts of money to get PGA golfers to join their league. There was a not well known player who played in 3 LIV tourneys, never finished higher than 9th and made over 1 million dollars. The PGA tour tourneys are 4 days, LIV, 3 days.
The Saudis are trying to destroy the PGA. Is Trump a silent partner? Don't dismiss this as kooky because one needs to think like Trump.

6. If the S-FRD documents are not found...?

Then I think your theory is very valid.

7. Nothing is too kooky to consider when it comes to trump.

We probably cannot even imagine all the crap he has pulled.

5. If trump was under surveillance this was a good cover.

Just a golf outing.

8. What the hell do the Saudis care about golf?

Why are they trying to destroy the PGA? They just gave a 124 million dollar signing bonus to lure in the #2 player in the world to join LIV. 1+1=2 for Trump. The PGA shunned him, pulled Bedminster from hosting the PGA championship this year, and Trump holds grudges.

It would be interesting for someone to see if the golfers who are leaving the PGA for LIV are Trump supporters? Is this new Saudi LIV league payment to Trump for confidential nuclear secrets, plus the 2 billion to Jared?
