The FBI on Sept. 26 changed the total number of documents it said it seized from former President Donald Trump’s estate.
Sixty-three additional documents or photographs without classification markings were taken from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort than previously listed by the FBI, according to an updated inventory list.
The revised inventory was submitted to the federal court in southern Florida on orders from U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie, a Reagan appointee who was inserted into the case as a special master, or an independent third party to handle disputes and other matters.
Dearie ordered a government official “with sufficient knowledge of the matter” to submit a declaration or affidavit stating whether the detailed property inventory released on Sept. 2 “represents the full and accurate extent of the property seized from” Trump’s home in August when FBI agents executed a search warrant there.
An FBI supervisory special agent, whose name was redacted, fulfilled the order. The agent, based in Washington, said he or she leads a squad of special agents, intelligence analysts, and other personnel in carrying out counterintelligence and espionage investigations, and that their team executed the warrant.
The earlier inventory was performed by the agent and workers under their direction but, wanting to make sure the inventory was accurate, “I and FBI personnel working under my direction conducted an additional review and recount of the Seized materials in order to make this declaration,” the agent told Dearie.
That resulted in some “minor revisions,” the agent acknowledged.
SCRIBD DOCUMENT AT LINK...........
An Epoch Times review of the earlier and current inventory list showed the differences included 63 non-classified documents or photographs being added to the total the FBI said it seized. Additionally, the new list contains two fewer magazines/newspapers/press articles and two fewer empty folders with “CLASSIFIED” banners.
Some of the boxes seized from Trump’s home were said to contain more documents now; others were said to contain fewer.
The update, if accurate, means the government seized over 11,200 non-classified materials from Mar-a-Lago.
The agent said he or she declared, under the penalty of perjury, that they were “not aware of” any documents or other materials seized from Trump’s home that are not listed in the updated inventory, with the exception of materials taken by the government’s filter team.
That squad was focused on identifying and segregating materials they thought could fall under attorney-client privilege.
A spokesman for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The updated inventory excludes documents marked classified, based on a recent appeals court order that blocked Dearie and Trump’s lawyers from reviewing the said documents. The earlier inventory listed 103 documents with classification markings.
“We did not know that we also had to count the pairs of Melania’s panties we snagged.”
No, that’s not suspicious. Not at all.
The FBI is busy fabricating evidence. Our tax dollars at work.
Gee, sounds like election night already——numbers subject to change.
My guess is the 103 “classified” documents are mostly related to Crossfire Hurricane, and Russiagate. These documents don’t threaten national security, but they do threaten to expose the corruption of the DoJ and FBI.
Nothing should have been removed from Mar-a-Lago without justification as described in the search warrant.
There was no justification possible for taking a magazine article.
Ellsberg got off because of unrelated government abuse.
Here we have direct government abuse.
“Gee, sounds like election night already——numbers subject to change”.
I’m afraid you’re right.
Judge is trying to nail them down on making new stuff appear. Now what they have to do is get accurate photo copies of each and every document the gov is claiming as something seized. That will further keep "new" evidence from appearing. They are slimy slippery creatures.
Does the FIB lie?
No wonder they don’t want a special master
One of the new documents is probably an extremely sensitive document that was written last week.
What comprises a document? If there is a schedule or exhibit to a document is that a separate document ?
the pair from the hamper that was removed on special request and shipped to delaware cannot be returned
please direct any requests to the WH
How do we know the FBI didn't empty the folders?
How do we know the FBI didn't empty the folders?
or add to them
Someone needs to give Judge Dearie a copy of Obama’s letter to the National Archives. I guess Trumps error was keeping the documents in a secure location guarded by Secret Service.
They, uh, “found” 63 more documents. Sure they did.
Did they find the 63 more on a car trunk ?
