The Biden administration sicced the FBI on 15 boxes containing classified information that the National Archives retrieved from Mar-a-Lago earlier this year — escalating the investigation of former President Donald Trump for allegedly mishandling secret government information, a newly published letter reveals.
The May 10 missive by Acting Archivist Debra Steidel Wall to Trump attorney Evan Corcoran — published late Monday by JustTheNews — confirms that the White House counsel’s office, “affirming a request from the Department of Justice supported by an FBI letterhead memorandum,” asked the National Archives on April 11 to “provide the FBI access to the 15 boxes for its review within seven days.”
In response, according to Wall, Trump’s legal team sought to delay the disclosure until April 29.
On that date, JustTheNews reported, Corcoran wrote to National Archives general counsel Gary Stern requesting the handover be further held up “until we have had the opportunity to review the documents and to consult with President Donald J. Trump so that he may personally make any decision to assert a claim of constitutionally based privilege.”
In the May 10 letter, Wall rejected that claim, writing that Supreme Court precedent “strongly suggests that a former President may not successfully assert executive privilege ‘against the very Executive Branch in whose name the privilege is invoked.'”
Wall added that the Justice Department “has advised me that there is no precedent for an assertion of executive privilege by a former President against an incumbent President to prevent the latter from obtaining … Presidential records belonging to the Federal Government where ‘such records contain information that is needed for the conduct of current business of the incumbent President’s office and that is not otherwise available.'”

So, the FBI can browse "top secret" documents?
Biden doing another look over there to get the heat of his screw up it’s going to fun to see the new movie coming out next month about him and Hunter.

Remember when the Clinton White House sicced the FBI on Billy R. Dale in Travelgate? That was 29 years this past May. Nothing has changed since then. The FBI is still a willing tool for the evil Democrats to destroy innocent people’s lives.
FBI thugs are democrats so they're 'above the law' - - they cheat when it 'works for their benefit' - just like the DOJ.
The FBI's being renamed the " Lavrentiy Beria Society' in honor of Joseph Stalin.
FBG Federal Biden Gestapo..
If the next congress is republican they ought to severely cut back the funding for the criminal FBI.
Been horse SHIT since Ruby Ridge.

I doubt that Biden called in anybody. He is a classic case of “Chauncey the Gardener” from the Peter Sellers movie “Being There”. He doesn’t say anything but is being given credit for making strategic moves for the liberal Deep State.

Exactly + add a shot of Wag the Dog
I’m thinking now that FBI and Beijing Biden are concerned with what DJT is going to put in his Library.
They wanted to know what ‘evidence’ on them he was hiding......................
So, this entire charade then is based SOLELY on the Acting NARA director deciding that “she” needs the documents “everyday”, for the continuing operation of the government “.
BS.
And the liberal press doesn't care anymore than they cared about Hunter's laptop or dead migrant children in whore houses.
