Chomper Higgot Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 An interesting question that is surely being addressed is, who has the security clearance to view the documents as a ‘Special Master’? Clearly it’s not going to be some attorney appointed by the Judge. The nature of the documents suggests it can only be some working for the Government, I would be very surprised if even the FBI has agents with the necessary clearances. So most likely someone working for Government National Security. Are these then the seeds of the next whacked out conspiracy theory? My guess is it won’t get that far, the DOJ will appeal the Judges order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO their desire to remove Trump from 2024 is so strong they were blind to the inevitable consequences. I imagine they are trying to find a way to mitigate the unintended consequences, but IMO the longer it goes on without any indictment, the worse it gets for them. This is probably going to be a large part of the GOP election strategy up to the mid terms, and given to them on a plate. But it is only your opinion and you are politically biased. What is needed is an independent opinion and application. What ever happens, one side will not accept the results. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you didn't "fix" anything. Do these armed agents always carry weapons in the normal course of their duty? Did these agents have a legal warrant to enter the premises and conduct a search? Did any of those agents draw their weapon and threaten any of the staff present? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do YOU know this? Or is it just your opinion? If it is and IMHO it has just as much value as my opinion, which is that you are completely wrong. Now if you are correct then I am sure that you have the genuine links to prove it. It seems to me that the Trump supporters (and Trump himself) say the most outrageous things but mostly fail to back it up with proof. After all who would support a known serial liar, 30,xxx or more in 4 years. Most rational readers and posters wouldn't. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No documents requiring a security clearance could be part of the "personal" or "privileged" documentation the Special Master is supposed to be on the lookout for. So the Special Master would not have a reason to be looking at them, anyway! So, even if the Special Master himself doesn't possess the proper clearances............. all that's needed is for the Special Master to be working along side a person who does.

Tough luck, MAGA is revered by American's and it shows, just ask Joe about his recent rally in WB-PA. What don't you understand about the fact that this all began as an attempt by NARA to get back the unvetted documents that Trump took from the White House. All Trump had to do was was return the documents for NARA to be vetted. Instead, he refused to accede to a grand jury subpoena. His own lawyers had returned some classified documents in January. We know that they recognized them as classified documents because they claimed Trump had no further classified documents in his possession. In a june meeting at Mar a Lago convened only because of another subpoena, Trump's lawyers refused to let government reps open the remaining boxes kept in storage. They subsequently send a letter to the Justice Dept claiming that all classified documents had been returned. We now know this was false. It was out of desperation that NARA called in the FBI.

Popular Post ullman Posted September 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2022 You people here actually expect Trump to be indicted for a doc dispute? If you do, you are clearly deluded. But, despite the questionable leaks to WAPO, what and where does a state or fed prosecutor take this silly doc dispute? The nuclear codes leak, where's the evidence, somewhere in the 22 pages of redactions in the affidavit? I doubt it. And since the NARA dispute was about Trump having the cited docs in his possession, now that they have been taken during the raid, in possesion of the DOJ, or government whats all the fuss about now? This is nothing more than a stunt to distract Americans from Biden and his disaster admin and the out of control problems plaguing America in hopes of curtailing the blowout elections loses they face in November. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A doc dispute? You think it's just because they were pieces of paper with writing on them that makes for all this fuss? It depends on what was written on them. Apart from the fact that Trump's people apparently lied most likely at his behest, which would be obstruction of justice and that he refused to obey a grand jury subpoena, another crime, the fact is that he left the information highly classified documents exposed to possible enemy acquisition. A resort with guest everywhere is hardly a secure place. The Secret Service is there but to guard the President and his family, not to guard documents. People have been jailed for what he did. Why should he get a break? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
