If only Trump had returned documents that he shouldn’t have had just as quickly. Very strange!. |

Irony:
GOP insisting the WH, DOJ and FBI preserve all documents related to the subpoena on Mar-A-Lago, and the documents Trump illegally kept or flushed |
|
This is typical of a search: the warrant asks for all classified documents and related stuff, including items in the vicinity of those documents. So the passports were near at hand and they obeyed the search warrant and took them. And then they were returned because people looking through the items determined they did not pertain to the investigation (so in their minds, not a flight risk). A normal person searched by the FBI might not have had their stuff returned so quickly. They're definitely treating him with kid gloves. |
It's too bad the FBU can't see all the documents he flushed while in the Oval Office. |
The FBI too. |
| Was isn't the affidavit being released by the DOJ? Remember the proclamation from the Delaware basement... "most transparent administration ever". |
The affidavit cannot be released because it contains sensitive information that would help the suspects, identify sources and national security documents, and impede the investigation. The DOJ has mentioned sharing some other info, but whatever it shares will not satisfy the Trump clan, since what they really want is information the DOJ cannot release. There's no solution here until charges come down the pipeline, or the DOJ simply closes the investigation. |
So you're in favor of helping suspects out with a list of informants and nuclear information? Not looking good here, PP! |
Because, wait for it, they are trying to investigate crime. Maybe you should just put your feet up and watch some law and order reruns to get up to speed on how the criminal justice system operates. |
| Parts of the affidavit that contain sensitive information could be redacted. They cannot play this in such a cute way. |
Yes. Yes they can. If they are very good at catching serious criminals. The accused, if indicted, will have access to all of the evidence at trial. That’s how this works. Not in public message boards and social media, but in a court of law. |
The DOJ already addressed this in one of its court filings. That the redactions would be so pervasive as to render the document meaningless. And then offered to show the judge just what they meant. |
You mean like how Breitbart released the information with no redactions leading to right wing extremists harassing the judge? Klassy. |
Why? Why should he get that treatment? |
Guessing the disconnect here is that the poster doesn't recognize what "in a court of law" means. |
