When a phalanx of SWATted-out FBI agents descended upon Donald Trump’s Palm Beach home, they also walked off with boxes of what the DOJ claimed were “classified” documents, photographs, the former president’s passports, and privileged legal documents that, the last time we checked, the Trump-Russia collusion hoaxers or any other government actor shouldn’t put their prying fingers on.
Now, according to Just the News, we’ve learned that the FBI will give back President Trump’s passports and documents containing privileged information between the former president and his attorneys. No doubt the Justice Department will be reading and copying the documents as they prepare to return them. It may be why the DOJ estimates it will take two weeks to get Trump back his property.
The department was making plans Monday evening to return the passports and has also alerted defense lawyers the FBI may have obtained materials covered by various privileges that will be returned in the next two weeks, two sources told Just the News.
DOJ has designated a process for separating materials that could be covered by executive privilege or attorney-client privilege, the sources said.
“Occasionally a warrant collection can grab things outside the scope authorized by the court and the department is now following a procedure we would for any person affected this way,” one official said Monday night.
The sources spoke only on the condition of anonymity because the communications between the two sides are confidential.
This announcement came after The Daily Beast’s Mitchell Epner, a former federal prosecutor who now works at a New York City law firm, wrote, “Former President Donald Trump says the Department of Justice must ‘immediately’ return the documents seized from his office and residence at Mar-A-Lago because of alleged violations of ‘attorney-client’ material and ‘executive’ privileged material.”

oopsie!
we accidentally “over collected” the stuff we were really after
just give us two weeks to make copies
again, a thousand apologies (wink wink)
poisoned fruit is irrelevant
the privileged documents will not be used in court
they will be digitized and leaked to the appropriate bad actors
Today bitches.
Since the privileged documents have been removed from control of both the attorney and the client, one has to assume that the documents have been viewed (copied) by those who should not have had access to them! What recourse does the client have in un-ringing that bell?
Par for the course. Standard practice for the left - do what they want and apologize after.
Just like everything else going to hell in the US by sheer ineptitude, corruption and stupidity the FBI is no exception and the recent raid on Mar-a-Lago is proof of it.
We know damn well they violated every single inch of her belongings and defiled every single inch of President Trump’s belongings.
p
PDJT said he got em back already:)
And nothing will be done!
