Federal law enforcement officials were allegedly searching for highly classified documents on “nuclear weapons” when they raided former President Donald Trump’s home in Florida earlier this week, according to a report.
The Washington Post claimed in a report that those familiar with the matter did not offer any specific details on whether the alleged documents on nuclear weapons were about weapons that were possessed by the United States or a foreign nation, and they did not disclose what was recovered during the search.
“If that is true, it would suggest that material residing unlawfully at Mar-a-Lago may have been classified at the highest classification level,” said David Laufman, the former chief of the Justice Department’s counterintelligence section, which investigates leaks of classified information. “If the FBI and the Department of Justice believed there were top secret materials still at Mar-a-Lago, that would lend itself to greater ‘hair-on-fire’ motivation to recover that material as quickly as possible.”
Investigators reportedly recovered classified material, some of which was labeled “top secret.”
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said during a press conference Thursday afternoon that he personally approved the search warrant on Mar-a-Lago and that the Justice Department was moving to unseal the warrant.
“Just now the Justice Department has filed a motion in the southern district of Florida to unseal a search warrant and property receipt relating to a court-approved search that the F.B.I. conducted earlier this week” at Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago, Garland said. “The department filed the motion to make public the warrant and receipt in light of the former president’s public confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances, and the substantial public interest in this matter.”
“I personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter,” Garland later added. “Second, the department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken.”
Trump responded to Garland’s remarks by saying that the FBI raid was not needed because his legal team had been cooperating with the Justice Department.
“My attorneys and representatives were cooperating fully, and very good relationships had been established,” Trump said in response to the press conference. “The government could have had whatever they wanted, if we had it. They asked us to put an additional lock on a certain area – DONE! Everything was fine, better than that of most previous Presidents, and then, out of nowhere and with no warning, Mar-a-Lago was raided, at 6:30 in the morning, by VERY large numbers of agents, and even ‘safecrackers.’ They got way ahead of themselves. Crazy!”
“Just learned that agents went through the First Lady’s closets and rummaged through her clothing and personal items,” Trump continued. “Surprisingly, left area in a relative mess. Wow!”

They are now old and outdated, And any documents a President takes is first approved by the Archivist. Better worry more about Senile Joe having the nuke codes.
This may in fact be what they claim. Then they will say it wasn’t found among the material seized and then they can accuse him of having already handed them over to Russia. and then he can be indicted and arrested... publicly of course.
“The Washington Post claimed”
That’s all I need to know.
Agree it took them 18 month to come up with a bogus document and for the bonus round their informant told them what papers to look for and where they were and it took them 9 to 12 hours to find them.
This case wins the oh my God that stinks award.
WHere are your nuclear weapons?.....................
They would if they knew it would be denied by the judge beforehand.......................
Lol, right! And they probably got this information from Christopher Steele and the Democratic National Committee.
Yep, the Trump people probably started an inside joke amongst themselves and talked about the “real stuff” in the safe. All the while leaving the safe empty.
That would be a fantastic practical joke.

What *don't* they know?
Were they looking for codes? Or just Docs?

17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the go spel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were
fastened
on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
Interesting cross-matching:
Isaiah 61:
1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

Clearly Trump is Dr. Strangelove, seeking world domination. These kinds of fantasies reveal the accuser’s agenda. The patients have gained control of the asylum. Precisely why all the asylums have been shuttered.
Bull crap
Sadly, there are no cameras in Melania’s closet, according to Trump attorneys.
So was the mole a double agent so to speak?
I would hope the codes are changed everyday. In Iraq we changed our IFF (identify friend or foe) codes on our aircraft every day.
Yes the codes are changed every single day so if Trump had them they are absolutely USELESS, what Trump had is not what Obama had, not what Biden has currently and so on..Trump can go on national TV and scream out the code and it wont matter its worthless
This is as much of a farse as the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.
It doesn’t mean he has any such documents. It’s just their excuse to raid Trump’s home. It doesn’t mean it’s true, especially when it comes from a pack of vicious liars and fraudsters like the democrat party, their media propaganda apparatus, and the DS.
I suspect Adam shiftilyse has a sick fantasy of painting the don as the equivalent of
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were convicted of conspiring to pass U.S. atomic secrets to the Soviets, are executed at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York.
Both refused to admit any wrongdoing and proclaimed their innocence right up to the time of their deaths, by
the electric chair.
.And that is the thing that would please them most
