EXACT TITLE: Reports said the search warrant centered on boxes of presidential records Trump improperly took with him when he left the White House.

Donald Trump said the FBI served a search warrant at his estate in Florida on Monday as the former president continues to face a flurry of investigations over the Jan. 6 insurrection, interference in the 2020 election, fraud, and other issues.

In a lengthy statement, Trump said "a large group of FBI agents" were raiding Mar-a-Lago, his estate in Palm Beach, in an effort he deemed was "not necessary or appropriate."

In addition to slamming law enforcement, Trump also disparaged Democrats. It wasn't clear what items the warrant was seeking, but the former president said agents opened his safe.

A spokesperson for the FBI declined to comment. The execution of a search warrant requires sign off by a federal judge, who authorizes such a measure after being presented with evidence of potential crimes.

2. Betsy Swann just said TFG had met with the FBI awhile ago about the documents

and that some had been turned over, but that this search warrant suggests that TFG had refused to turn over some of them or lied about having them.

[William769]

4. Well, they should have them now.

[Ocelot II]

5. Unless he shipped them off to his BFF Vlad.

[William769]

8. That's true.

[blm]

10. Likely scenario, sad to say.

[Rebl2]

27. Bingo

They should have gotten a search warrant when they interviewed him and felt he was lying.

[Shipwack]

28. Why mail them when emailing pictures would be faster/safer? nt

[Ocelot II]

29. TFG doesn't do email.

[SergeStorms]

3. Didn't they already go through it once?

I thought the FBI already searched the house, or someone did. I remember them taking 11 boxes of documents out of there.

It won't make any difference anyway. Trump has already sold every state secret he stole. He just couldn't get those "Top Secret" jackets to flush down his gold plaited crapper.

[Ocelot II]

7. According to Betsy Swann, he didn't return all of them

and maybe lied about it. Apparently the FBI has evidence that he didn't return all the documents he was supposed to.

[Wednesdays]

12. Lying to the FBI is also a felony

That in itself is up to five years in prison!

[SergeStorms]

19. For the most persecuted president....

in the history of the universe?

Probably not, but we can dream. No one's touched him yet.

[SouthernDem4ever]

40. can we make it a rally prison so his supporters can all join him?

since they love a law-breaker so much.

[EndlessWire]

26. Yeah. I agree. n/t

[usonian]

6. Just slips of paper with pictures of former presidents on them.

Lots and lots of them.
(Speculation)

And plane tickets to Moscow.

[turbinetree]

9. So Trump what are you going to do now....rant.....

if they were looking for classified documents that you had ......maybe you and the RNC should revisit the agreement of them paying for your legal fee's.......because the costs is going to go up....up....and up.....

11. "TFG also disparaged Democrats." Oh yeah, it's like a four-alarm fire at work today

Half the Rs in the office are losing their minds, openly thrashing democrats...because that's what Fox News is reporting? I'd have to assume that's why. Rs cannot think on their own. They have to get their talking points and marching orders from someone else. It's where all of their anger originates.

What a wonderful day this has turned out to be!

[SouthernDem4ever]

13. Maybe he hid it all in Russia

too late to check there I guess.

[William769]

14. Maybe not.

[DENVERPOPS]

24. check the homes of his spawn for starters

Hell, he has had a year and a half to hide them anywhere............

36. Jared & the $2 billion Saudi "investment" comes to mind.

Before Giving Billions to Jared Kushner, Saudi Investment Fund Had Big Doubts
Before committing $2 billion to Mr. Kushner’s fledgling firm, officials at a fund led by the Saudi crown prince questioned taking such a big risk.

By David D. Kirkpatrick and Kate Kelly
April 10, 2022

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/10/us/jared-kushner-saudi-investment-fund.html

snip...

Six months after leaving the White House, Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment from a fund led by the Saudi crown prince, a close ally during the Trump administration, despite objections from the fund’s advisers about the merits of the deal.

snip...

Those objections included: “the inexperience of the Affinity Fund management”; the possibility that the kingdom would be responsible for “the bulk of the investment and risk”; due diligence on the fledgling firm’s operations that found them “unsatisfactory in all aspects”; a proposed asset management fee that “seems excessive”; and “public relations risks” from Mr. Kushner’s prior role as a senior adviser to his father-in-law, former President Donald J. Trump, according to minutes of the panel’s meeting last June 30.

But days later the full board of the $620 billion Public Investment Fund — led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler and a beneficiary of Mr. Kushner’s support when he worked as a White House adviser — overruled the panel.

Ethics experts say that such a deal creates the appearance of potential payback for Mr. Kushner’s actions in the White House — or of a bid for future favor if Mr. Trump seeks and wins another presidential term in 2024.

[SouthernDem4ever]

41. Yeah no kidding

hopefully no one was dismembered in the process.

[DENVERPOPS]

42. Don't forget Jared's trip

to the Saudi Prince with a briefcase, then immediately he came back to the U.S. with a 150 million dollar loan to bail him out of a loan payment he couldn't make on one of his real estate disasters. It was reported a few days later that several members of the Saudi Royal Family "disappeared" the next week. Intel for sale........

[herding cats]

15. That's the very first thing I said it was about to my husband when this broke.

He stole classified documents and he's going down for it.

[William769]

16. I have always valued your thoughts.

You are always right on the money.

[herding cats]

18. You flatter me!

I wish it were true, but I'll take the sweet compliment all the same.

It's so good to see you, and under such happy times, too!

[Botany]

17. the documents he stole mostly likely covered:

1) Trump and Russia connections .... see Paul Manafort admitting to working with the Russians today.

2) Attempted Coup and rat fucking the 2020 elections.

[RussBLib]

20. I'll bet the FBI knows....

...what documents were missing from those boxes of docs Trump took to Mar-a-Lago, and they wanted them back.

[ultralite001]

21. I keep checking the Miami Herald...

They have a long, deep, abiding relationship with the RTumpster...

and they are updating their site frequently...

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article264310461.html

That is all...

[moniss]

22. Check the guest list

at Mar-a-Ghastly ever since the 2020 election and see who might be one to have left with more documents than he came with.

[alfredo]

38. They can probably be found at the Kremlin

[Lasher]

23. They said on CNN that the FBI left with about 15 boxes of things.

He must not have been honest about what documents he still had.

[C Moon]

31. Oh wow. I didn't know about that. That's good news.

I figured they wouldn't find anything there.
He must have the valuable stuff hidden elsewhere.

[intheflow]

32. The man stupid enough to destroy documents by clogging toilets when

there are multiple fireplaces in the White House may be too stupid to hide the "valuable stuff" elsewhere, assuming his former position would shield him.

[alfredo]

39. The valuable stuff is what he can sell to Putin

[Cozmo]

25. Wouldn't be great if the judge who signed the warrant was appointed by tfg?

[DonCoquixote]

30. I hate to say it

But I was one of the people going "garland do something!" turns out this hit was a nice shot to Trump's jaw..Follow through though, please.

[jaxexpat]

33. I'm almost ready to renig on my Garland disparagement in just a little while longer

It will be the pleasure of my life to find myself totally wrong. I can hardly wait.

[Ford_Prefect]

34. Do you suppose they may have found a few of the "gifts" as well?

[Lulu KC]

35. This is TOO delicious! n/t

[alfredo]

37. It's not took, it's stole
