If someone in Donald Trump's circle tipped off the FBI ahead of the raid of Mar-a-Lago, that person would have to be 'very close' to the former president, according to former acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.
'I didn't know there was a safe at Mar-a-Lago and I was the chief of staff for 15 months,' Mulvaney told CNN's New Day.
The former chief of staff said that a potential informant would have to be 'really close' to the former president to know where he kept documents at Mar-a-Lago.
'This would be someone who was handling things on day to day, who knew where documents were, so it would be somebody very close inside the president, my guess is there's probably six or eight people who had that kind of information,' Mulvaney predicted.
Newsweek reported earlier this week that Monday's raid had been guided by details an from an informant who told the FBI what documents were still in Trump's possession and where they would be located. The Wall Street Journal confirmed there was a 'rat' within Trump's orbit.
The former president has increasingly become paranoid even some of his closest friends may be working against him. On multiple occasions in May, Trump wondered aloud if Republicans who visited him at his golf club could be 'wearing a wire,' sources told Rolling Stone.
And as of Wednesday Trump and his allies have begun speculating who among them could be the snitch.
All official documents are supposed to be handed over to the National Archives upon leaving the presidency.
The National Archives already retrieved 15 boxes of documents from Trump's property earlier this year, but someone familiar with Trump's document storage reportedly told investigators there still may be more documents at the private club.

Splay?
The idea of a snitch could simply be a fairy tale. We’ll see.
It could have been an FBI agent who worked there as a luggage carrier.
Well, in “Hunt for Red October”, or was the cook —
In all reality, anyone at the company involved with the purchase of the safe, or company responsible for the safe’s installation, or possible maintenance or upgrades over the years could have, learn, and then turn over whatever info the FIB wanted.
As well, janitors, maintenance, and grounds people could also have learned of the safe over the years.
The possibilities of who could know about the safe, and be bribed for the info from the terminally corrupt FIB are numerous.

When the Feds uses an informant, they don’ admit it until forced to at trial.
If they are claiming an informant at this stage, it means the mission was to plant evidence.

It could have been a Communist-planted SS agent. Somebody close.
Or it could have been a lie to get a warrant
If the reports of the safe being empty are accurate, then the “rat” was likely a Trump confidante who was deliberately misleading the DOJ. Heck — it could have even been Trump himself … or maybe his “John Miller” impersonation. LOL.
Since they removed boxes without supervision, any so-called evidence can be impeached as being planted at MAL or later.
And it would only take one extra dirty Connie to do the planting, on orders from above.
My kindle fire uncorrected Fibbie as Connie for some reason.
According to Mark Levin:
By contrast Obama has around 3000 boxes of his white house documents that were removed, and he has an agreement that the every document would be digitized and filed with National Archives witin 2 years after Obama left the WH.
So far, not ne document has been digitized and they remain hidden at the Obama storage for the Obama Presidential Library , whichi is unlikely ever to be built.

You have to wonder if Trump didn’t figure they were going to do something like this...
——if he essentially suckered them into it. .......
-——The safe was empty after all.
-——He was ready with a prepared statement and a video right away.
——The suckers couldn’t have played right into his hands any more than they did.
-——Now they really crossed the rubicon.... and .......
-——Trump got a nice boost from it all.
I think Mick Mulvaney doth protest too much, methinks.... I agree it Is a means to create a distraction in Trump’s inner circle.
That’s what I was thinking.
If you suspect a rat, give him some juicy (but false) info, and watch for response.
Trump knew exactly who he provided the false info to in order to ferret out the rat/RAT. It seems to be a setup (by Trump) to me. But maybe not.
