Donnie Dumptruck says Mar-A-Lago's been searched by the FBI

[Anonymous]

I'm glad they were able to recover documents, but I'm more scared about the folders that were all found empty. What the hell did he do with those and who is he blackmailing. Who has he sold that to?. My guess is Russia or China and I'm guessing a lot of GOP Congress names were in them.

I’m guessing you’re right.

And most of us will never find out all that he did. I’ve maintained all along that the reason that Biden and Harris functionally went dark after the Inauguration was because Trump did to everything in the government what he did to the confidential and presidential papers and everything to do with them. I think he just wrecked everything, made things into the governmental equivalent of a meth house. Biden and Harris have been quietly cleaning up the last two years - even as Trump has continued to do damage!

Actually finding those docs at other properties is like a best case scenario.
Which … isn’t … good.

I wonder if they relate to the assets who were killed? Will we ever know??

The government has records of everything given to the president and if it was returned.

That still doesn’t mean we’ll find this all out. Maybe our grandkids (provided we defeat MAGA) will find out, but a lot of the stuff Trump and his cronies stole is highly classified. We’re not likely to find out the extent of the damage he did in our lifetimes, except perhaps obliquely.

There have been alarm bells for a long time.

And how long until we find out about government documents Trump has stored at Trump Tower and Bedminster? Trump was served a subpoena last May requiring he return all documents with classification markings, regardless of where he stored them. The search warrant and special master issues only focus on the materials stored at Mar-a-Lago.

He’s been given enough deference and slack by the DOJ, I can’t imagine other docs haven’t been burned or destroyed.
Of course that might actually be worse for him.
It would be better if he could produce what he stole.

Trump also kept gifts without reporting them and having their value assessed.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/09/02/fbi-inventory-mar-a-lago/

The gifts found in the FBI search raise a separate set of issues than the classified documents, which contain information that could compromise national security or sensitive intelligence-gathering methods and sources. Under federal law, presidents and other government officials are prohibited from keeping gifts from a foreign government that are worth more than $415. Typically, a president or a government official would submit any gift to the Office of the Chief of Protocol for a valuation and assessment. Gifts under $415 are traditionally transferred to the National Archives or a Presidential Library when the president leaves office.

The House Oversight Committee launched an investigation earlier this summer into unreported gifts Trump received while he was in office, after the State Department indicated to lawmakers that Trump “failed to comply with the law governing foreign gift reporting” during his final year as president.

The inventory list does not contain information about who gave Trump the gifts seized from Mar-a-Lago and whether the items went through the proper assessment protocols.

Taking expensive booze seems like such astonishingly normal theft, not this stuff with the documents at Mar-A-Lago.

Nothing about stealing an eight thousand, five hundred dollar bottle of alcohol seems normal at all.

It seems so 1970’s with “written” documents laying around.

Regarding White House gifts, the obituary for the former WH pastry chef noted that all food gifts given to the President are supposed to be destroyed, but that the chef kept and consumed a large tin of Russian caviar given to a former President, saying that he would take his chances on whether it was poisoned or not

The public can sympathize with greedy people taking food gifts.

But keeping, then evaporating, documents related to national security is something else entirely.

Stealing something gifted to the United States by a foreign government isn’t “astonishingly normal” unless you routinrly fraternize with felons who don’t think laws and ethics apply to them.
