“ Probably no details, but they could certainly point to the last 6 years as a pattern of making up evidence. Good time for Trump to have the courts examine the integrity of the FBI.”
************************************************************
And Judge Dearie has been subject to the DOJ/FBI providing FAKE justification to his court. I suspect he’ll be a lot less trusting of them now. DON’T PANIC FOLKS! Don’t be stampeded by the RAY EPPS TYPES in our midst.
That’s how I see it as well.
Trump KNOWS that the reason for the raid was to conceal or insert evidence against him and you can bet your ass that he can prove it. Trump has the ammunition. Now all he needs is the legal path, the gun, and the Special Master is going to provide it.
Trump does not have a right to be accusatory without evidence. The judge is right.
They had means, motive, and opportunity.
They also tried to make sure no one was watching on the cameras.
Great pic TM. Thanks for posting!
Start with the 43 empty folders marked classified. I’d lay money that the FBI had an agent sitting in Mar-a-Lago writing classified on empty folders so they could claim it in their inventory list.
Hmmm... I wonder if this could be a setup? If he didn’t pack them himself, anyone could have slipped anything in there back in 2020.
An insurance policy for later.
“It’s part of the procedure. He’s saying, he wants details on the allegations Trump is making. What else is he supposed to say?”
I totally agree.
Actually, that is exactly what Judge Dearie ordered Team Trump to do.
Dearie asked Trump’s lawyers to submit by 30 September a list of specific items in that inventory “that plaintiff asserts were not seized from the premises”. Dearie also asked them to submit any corrections to the government’s list by that date, including items they believe were seized at Mar-a-Lago but not listed in the inventory.“This submission shall be [Trump’s] final opportunity to raise any factual dispute as to the completeness and accuracy of the detailed property inventory,” wrote Dearie, serving as an independent arbiter known as a special master.
This is why any decent lawyer in a case like this would advise his client NOT to speak about the case, and certainly not to make claims of planted evidence. As Special Master, Dearie could remove any evidence Trump proved was planted, or "not seized from the premises" of Mar a Lago. Of course, when Dearie says this is Trump's "final opportunity" to dispute the evidence, he means dispute it with HIM. Trump can still dispute the evidence in a trial, if he is indicted.
I’d be surprised if they didn’t.
Trump is the accused. Something about innocent until proven guilty and a high bar on the proof. You remove a chain of custody on evidence and it might as well not exist. The judge should be demanding that custody chain for everything he is being asked to examine.
Trump accused...
Hardly. Do you see anyone taking legal action against the FBI? Trump is pointing out that the raid and seizure was done without his lawyers present. Why would any reasonable person have a problem with that? A real court would throw this out in a New York minute.
Actually, the more I read your post, the more absurd it sounds. Replace ‘Trump’ with FBI, Jan6 committee, or any of a dozen other govt entities and see if it applies.
If the Judge asked for chain of custody, the DOJ would provide it. Obviously, the DOJ has demonstrated they cannot be trusted. Particularly when going after Trump, as demonstrated over the past 6 years. But I have little doubt they would established chain of custody that would stand in court. I would love to see a court throw out the case based on FBI/DOJ's clear prosecutorial misconduct during Russiagate but they are still desperately projecting an illusion of legitimacy.
The FBI could fake a chain of custody, but that would require witnesses to purger themselves. If they have a real chain of custody, it’s not going to stand up well since they didn’t even know what they collected. JMO.
Arg, sorry, perjure themselves.
