Who can forget that infamous photograph from the Biden Justice Department of the raid on Mar-a-Lago that showed a pile of documents with “Secret” and “Top Secret” cover sheets messily strewn about on the floor?
Trump haters saw the photo as proof that Trump had grossly mishandled classified documents.
As we previously reported, the boxes containing classified documents had been in the National Archives' possession before they requested that Trump's people take them. As if it wasn't enough that the Biden administration likely set up Trump, we now have proof that the infamous photo was staged.
"A few weeks after the armed FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, the Department of Justice released a stunning photograph depicting alleged contraband seized from Donald Trump’s Palm Beach estate that day; the image showed colored sheets representing scary classification levels attached to files purportedly discovered in Trump’s private office," explains independent journalist Julie Kelly. "Included as a government exhibit to oppose Trump’s lawsuit requesting a special master to vet the 13,000 items taken from his residence, the crime scene pic immediately went viral — just as Attorney General Merrick Garland, who authorized the unprecedented raid, intended."
The liberal media was happy to oblige with endless hysterical coverage of the implications of the photograph and how it incontrovertibly proved Trump's guilt.
"New court filings in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s espionage and obstruction case against Trump and two co-defendants conclusively demonstrate that the government used the cover sheets to deceive the public as well as the court," Kelly explains. "The photo was a stunt, and one that adds more fuel to this dumpster-fire case."

In what must be considered not only an act of doctoring evidence but willfully misleading the American people into believing the former president is a criminal and threat to national security, agents involved in the raid attached the cover sheets to at least seven files to stage the photo.Classified cover sheets were not “recovered” in the container, contrary to Bratt’s declaration to the court. In fact, after being busted recently by defense attorneys for mishandling evidence in the case, Bratt had to fess up about how the cover sheets actually ended up on the documents.
Kelly quotes Jay Bratt, who was serving as the lead DOJ prosecutor on the investigation at the time of the raid and is now on special counsel Jack Smith's team. Originally, he claimed in an August 2022 court filing, "[Thirteen] boxes or containers contained documents with classification markings, and in all, over one hundred unique documents with classification markings… were seized. Certain of the documents had colored cover sheets indicating their classification status."
His story, however, has changed. He now says, "[If] the investigative team found a document with classification markings, it removed the document, segregated it, and replaced it with a placeholder sheet. The investigative team used classified cover sheets for that purpose.”

The democrat-socialists long march through the institutions included the Dept. of Justice.
The FBI has been completely corrupted along with many other bureaus and agencies. We are seeing the corruption now.
The DC deep-state seems to run their schemes with “public relations” and “optics” as their over-riding purpose and strategy.
It applies to their persecution of Trump, it applies to how they manage the Ukraine war, it applies to political theater like J6, and applies to management of the economy.
Its as though reality, and even likely adverse consequences, are not even considered.
It looked like a staged photo from the corrupt FBI from day one. Wray should be prosecuted.
The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate includes federal law enforcement agencies.
Not just Wray, you can bet this was done with Garland’s full knowledge.
Garland is crooked as hell, and should be prosecuted & jailed.
His bitterness is clouding his judgement, like Hillary. The press never seems worried about their "revenge".
“..It’s as though reality, and even likely adverse consequences, are not even considered....”
Well, in all fairness, ^THIS^ would require a modicum of intelligence including an IQ higher than single digits.
This isn’t just a hoax. It was a colluded effort to change the outcome of an election AND to imprison an innocent former US President. To my mind that is treason, punishable by the death penalty for all involved.
It also applies to the Thomas hearings, the Federal Reserve, the war on terror, the war on poverty, the crusade against guns etc....
Bring back the guillotine! Place it in the DC Mall and let the show begin.
Operation Fast & Furious was meant to do the same thing....drive up assault rifle murders to bolster political support for a ban and confiscation.
The left is totally corrupt and untrustworthy.
WRAY-—GARLAND-—SMITH, etc AL should be prosecuted
AGREED
I’d prefer they do it the way they did the Lincoln conspirators. At the Old DC Arsenal inside Ft. McNair.

Fibers need to be fired ...how obscene what they have done to this country...G.Gordon Liddy was WRONG!
That's because voters have been brainwashed sufficiently by the corrupt media to place criminals in positions of power. With a closely divided Congress the power of the purse has been effectively neutered. The bureaucrats and radical judges run things now.
