Passports may be for different people also.

He also needs to have all returned documents checked for “foreign” devices.

I’m not a smash-and-grab thief; I am merely over-collecting some jewelry.

I hate to be an over-collecter these days; as a precedent has been set...

Raiding the home of your chief political rival and taking his passports is some epic Putin type behavior

The problem is that McCarthy will be House leader after November. I doubt he has what it takes to refuse to act on any continuing resolution funding these key agencies until the top leadership resigns and then cut their budgets 30% in any CR pending prompt and efficient reform and mass firings.

One was expired. I presume he has an official passport as well as a personal passport.

He has a diplomatic passport, I assume in addition to his regular one. And one that was expired.

“There is never an excuse to take a person’s passports.”


You can’t stay at a hotel in Europe without giving the hotel your passport while you are in the hotel.

Same with Army bases...

Trump’s lawyers should have been in court the next day to get a special master. Not sure they are moving with due haste here.

“DOJ has designated a process for separating materials that could be covered by executive privilege...”

He was the freakin President. Nearly anything he said or wrote, or was said or written to him is covered by Executive Privilege.

They took the documents under the pretext that Trump took classified documents from the WH, which everyone knows that Trump declassified them all when he left. It was nothing but a fishing expedition to see if there is something among the 20 boxes of documents that might be used against him.

Yes, they also want the Russian collusion documents that he declassified and wanted released, but, the DOJ refused to sign off, hence, they weren't.

I'll bet those were the basis for the warrant.

FWIK< the president doesn’t have to have permission from anyone to declassify documents. He has unilateral power to do so. My guess is that the FIB/DOJ wanted them to KEEP Trump from releasing them.

So, he also declassified those from the Hillary email / server probe.

He directed the National Archives to give access to Kash Patel and John Solomon. Whether they ever saw them, I don't know.
