Biden White House facilitated DOJ's criminal probe against Trump, scuttled privilege claims: memos
Just The News ^ | 08/22/2022 | John Solomon

Posted on 08/22/2022 5:22:13 PM PDT by Kevin in California

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 claims, 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.

She’s not even the President, just an underling. She takes it on herself, but probably getting QT instructions from the Coward In Chief, so he has plausible deniability. Wish I could photoshop meld Nixon and Brandon (hint hint).

One lesson to be learned is never to me magnanimous. President Trump should have cut down Hillary and her fellow travelers when he had the chance. President Trump was way to gracious. "Nice guys finish last."

He probably tried...but the DOJ and FBI were and are deep state.

Biden is a ringwraith, but who is the Dark Lord? Obama? Susan Rice?

It’s funny how they scuttled Joe to a vacation a few days before the raid and are still keeping him away from the White House . Something not right about all of this.

It’s simple: They can’t risk the dementia patient spilling the beans, as he did with “…the most extensive voter fraud operation in history.”

So Biden left the decision of whether or not to deny executive priviledge to a petty functionary, the acting national archives director.

Hey, SU-eeee, best retain the white shoe now and as dearly as you can afford, because you are gonna get a few questions in the 118th and you got a 4-month timeline to cover your ass. And some GS-15 approaching retirement at the National Archives facing perjury charges and loss of pension is gonna give you up at the first chance.

-- We know that it ex post facto laws punishing acts that are not illegal in the past are unconstitutional. --

LOL. So, on legally possessing a firearm, Congress changed the law so that domestic violence was sufficient to strip RKBA. Was retroactive, ruled the courts.

There is no "rule of law" except rhetoric with humpty dumpty judges. If they want to harass Trump, it legal, constitutional, etc. There is no boundary at law.

Everything Joe Bidet says is either a damn lie, or someone else’s words that he’s taken and claimed as his own.

Debra Steidel Wall

She decided President Trump has no executive privilege.

She is an archivist wit a BA in History and an MA in film archives.

The Communists deferred to her to take the decision to revoke Presidential Privelidge.

Scared for our nation yet?

If the issue of executive privilege is not one of the issues in Trump’s lawsuit
over ‘unreasonable search and seizure’ it will be in some future court case. The issue has never been decided in a federal court. Courts could refuse to hear the case or rule against Trump. In the latter case, the court would be admitting that we are living in a banana republic. To some extent we are, but will they admit it?

Too stupid to realize those privileges are not about the president, their about protecting the presidency.

He just F’d it up for every future president, including himself.

More Biden - corrupt FBI/DOJ criminal collusion.

Quick, call the NY Times and Wash. Post and alert them to this story.

On second thought, there is no need to do that. They’re in on it.

Never mind!
