Biden White House facilitated DOJ's criminal probe against Trump, scuttled privilege claims: memos
justthenews.com ^ | 8/22/2022 | john solomon

"I have therefore decided not to honor the former President's 'protective' claim of privilege," acting National Archivist Debra Steidel Wall wrote Trump's team in May.

Long before it professed no prior knowledge of the raid on Donald Trump's estate, the Biden White House worked directly with the Justice Department and National Archives to instigate the criminal probe into alleged mishandling of documents, allowing the FBI to review evidence retrieved from Mar-a-Lago this spring and eliminating the 45th president's claims to executive privilege, according to contemporaneous government documents reviewed by Just the News.

The memos show then-White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su was engaged in conversations with the FBI, DOJ and National Archives as early as April, shortly after 15 boxes of classified and other materials were voluntarily returned to the federal historical agency from Trump's Florida home.

By May, Su conveyed to the Archives that President Joe Biden would not object to waiving his predecessor's claims to executive privilege, a decision that opened the door for DOJ to get a grand jury to issue a subpoena compelling Trump to turn over any remaining materials he possessed from his presidency.

The machinations are summarized in several memos and emails exchanged between the various agencies in spring 2022, months before the FBI took the added unprecedented step of raiding Trump's Florida compound with a court-issued search warrant.

The most complete summary was contained in a lengthy letter dated May 10 that acting National Archivist Debra Steidel Wall sent Trump's lawyers summarizing the White House's involvement.

I’m sure this dippy National Archives woman was pacing back and forth deciding on the relative merits of the case. /S

The White House told her to play on their ball team to get Trump and she said “I’m a woman. I hate and despise Trump and his hairstyle and his tweets. I’ll tell any lie you want to bring him down like my ex husband who never appreciated me. All men are alike.”

“allowing the FBI to review evidence” that Trump had on them.

There, fixed it.

Just think Nixon was driven from the Presidency because a few subordinates went into an office and took a few pictures.

On January 21st, 2024, President Trump or Desantis should arrest Joe Biden for theft of federal property from the White House.

Can anyone doubt, now, that we are in a full fledged dictatorship? A senile aimless ego maniac (but a great thief and liar) is being encouraged to 'be tough' and prove that you can get things done. The real villains behind their leader are the same ones behind Alfa Bank, Russian collusion, Crossfire Hurricane and two impeachments and now - just to prove that they have the power to do it - the seizing of all the previous president's private papers, private correspondence, legal papers, tax and business records - everything!

Not only was the warrant grossly unconstitutional, but Bitem's waving of Trump's executive privilege is grossly unconstitutional. Think about it; George Washington established the idea of executive privilege, based on the principle of 'separation of powers'. It allows a president to consult with a wide variety of people in order to formulate acceptable policies. If people think their private conversations will be exposed to public view, they will hesitate to contribute in developing governing policies.

If a following president can waive a previous president's executive privilege, THEN THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE! IOW, this administration is establishing that THEY are the supreme power!

I don’t think the National Archives has veto power over what the president can de-classify.

It’s 50 years since Watergate... that is a jubilee, a time for restitution. A president was driven from office, now is time for one to be restored.

The Regime is fearless, so far. Nothing has stopped them. Only the same handful of R’s are wised up, but no growth.

We sure need November to come off as planned and come off well. Not sure how that happens. Nothing of large scale has changed, not with mail-in ballots and the same foreign tabulators in charge.

Polls are creeping upward at 75%. The White Hats want a solid 82-85%, reportedly. Per 107.

Debra Steidel Wall became Deputy Archivist of the United States in July 2011. She previously served as the agency’s Chief of Staff (2008-2011), and in a variety of management
positions relating to bringing NARA’s [National Arcives]archival holdings to the public online. She joined the National Archives in 1991 as an archivist trainee with a specialty in film, and holds an undergraduate degree in history and government from Georgetown University, and a graduate degree in film from the American University.
The woman is a rabid feminist and shnauzer; I’m surprised she is not posterperson in ads pumping government employment.

Guvmint is going to lose this Mara Lago case, I believe there’s no question. Arrogant overreach.

They stole the second set of diamonds. The problem is they have them, and they’re wearing them in front of the rightful owner. Just like the Biden Regime is wearing the stolen presidency.

It’s been tough, but they’re all exposed, now. They need a civil war to hope to retain power. By 2024, we’re looking at some estimates of Six Million illegals, readied to vote for the communists.

Long war ahead, regardless.

Putin put it pretty darned well. The West, NATO, G7, etc., have and are practicing COLONIALISM to “sponge” off the spoils. 🎯

***Guvmint is going to lose this Mara Lago case, I believe there’s no question. Arrogant overreach***

I suspect that with Trump's exerting his Fourth Amendment rights the govt case is all but over. The problem is, as you say ((They stole the second set of diamonds. The problem is they have them, and they’re wearing them in front of the rightful owner. Just like the Biden Regime is wearing the stolen presidency -- excellent!)) they have DJT's total public, private and business life. They can fabricate a million scenarios to cripple his business, his financial dealings, his personal endeavors, smear his image in everything he does.

This is a stunning abuse of power (NOTE! All you who keep waving the Constitution about!) I think the only way to stop this is to arrest those hidden figures behind the scenes that have been engineering this from the start (I have a few of the names but not on this tablet.) The only authority that could probably prosecute these people is the military... or the citizens re: Robes Pierre.

***They need a civil war to hope to retain power***

They seem to almost be begging for one recently. They think that they now have the military and the law enforcement organs. They have not read history!

***Long war ahead, regardless***

I fear that you are probably correct.

Juan O’Savin, nick named 107, takes a beating on this thread, so be prepared, but his sources say that any MIL recompense taken against this Regime depends on popular support (or the American distress level) attaining a very high percentage, before MIL would activate DOD, Law of War 11.2, 11.3, 11.4. (Google Law of War DOD)

Factors getting us there, as per Q, included a “Scare Event”. Juan implies it would be a nuclear event alarming enough to shake even those among the White Hats.

Exactly right. Rubbing our nose in their thefts and their spying-for-use everything Trump held secured.

I do expect he knew they were coming. Those boxes... wow... what do you suppose he left in them, and maybe... what he wanted them to find? A poisoned mouse trap?
