Trump Claims The FBI Stole Three of His Passports; The FBI Admits It Took Documents Protected by Attorney-Client Privilege

Trump says the FBI seized three of his passports in their raid.

Former President Donald Trump said the FBI seized three of his passports during its raid on Mar-a-Lago last week, calling the unprecedented search an “assault.””Wow! In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else,” Trump posted on his Truth Social account. “This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country.”
 
He added: “Third World!”
 
The FBI carried out a search warrant at the former president’s private residence in Palm Beach, Florida, last week, as agents seized classified records, including some marked as top secret. Trump is disputing the classification of those records, saying the records have been declassified.
 
Sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News Digital over the weekend that the FBI also seized boxes containing records covered by attorney-client privilege and potentially executive privilege during its raid.
 
Sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News Saturday that the former president’s team was informed that boxes labeled A-14, A-26, A-43, A-13, A-33, as well as a set of documents — all seen on the final page of the FBI’s unsealed property receipt — contained information covered by attorney-client privilege.

Whoops — they took attorney-client privilege documents when searching for National Archives papers.
 
Megyn Kelly says “Bull. Shit!”

This is about January 6. If you believe this has to do with classified documents, having to do with bullshit Trump took with him when he left office, your head is in the sky. This is about January 6 and the never-ending desire to get Donald Trump on something. They don’t want him to run for election again. They’re mad that he did not get convicted on the first or second impeachment, they are mad that he did not get pursued criminally by the New York D.A.They are mad Russia-gate fell apart and they are made he is ahead in the polls, crushing DeSantis, and that his candidates of choice all [won primaries] last week, and the Democrats are prepared to play dirty.
 
[Attorney General] Merrick Garland is clearly willing to go along with that. He’s been moving in, in concentric circles toward Donald Trump over the past several weeks, going after his top advisor with subpoenas, we’ve seen close Trump advisors in handcuffs, dragged away as if they’re like mobsters. This is really getting alarming and the American public deserves answers.

Kash Patel says that the secret agenda here is to gin up another Fake Russiagate so that all of the Russiagate documents Trump declassified can be re-classified.

President Trump named me his — his representative to the National Archives months ago. And we have been in a bureaucratic battle. As Devin and I have always had to, we found whole sets of documents we meted out to the American public from Russiagate. We got out about 60 percent.That’s why President Trump made it his mission to declassify and be transparent. In October of 2020, he issued a sweeping declassification order for every Russiagate document and every single Hillary Clinton document. Then, on the way out of the White House, he issued further declassification orders, declassifying whole sets of documents.
 
And this is a key fact that most Americans are missing. President Trump, as the sitting president, is the unilateral authority for declassification. He can literally stand over a set of documents and say, these are now declassified, and that is done with definitive action immediately.
 
The fact that the bureaucrats at NARA, who referred — remember, the National Archives are the ones that referred this to the Department of Justice. But they — the same principle failed to refer Hillary Clinton to the Department of Justice when they got their hands on the classified e-mails from those servers.
 
And switching gears a little bit to the national security officials involved, me, as a former national security prosecutor in the National Security Division, where this case is being run out of, it’s no surprise that the likes of John Carlin, who was the assistant attorney general for national security, who authorized the Russiagate hoax to begin with, is now the number three officials at DOJ.
 
And Lisa Monaco is the number two official, who was his superior back then.
 
These folks — and this is — this is a thing I want to stress with. Now that this is a — quote, unquote — “ongoing FBI counterintelligence investigation,” they will come out to the American public and be able to say, ongoing C.I. investigation. You will never be allowed to see the Russiagate docs or any other docs that President Trump lawfully declassified.
 
And they will hide it from the public.
 
And Congress has a monumental lift ahead of them. Come November, they better start subpoenaing these documents immediately and putting these people before the American public. Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray have failed in their mission to uphold the law. They have become political hucksters. And they are completely destroying our Constitution and putting on a two-tiered system of justice.

John Solomon had a scoop last month — the Justice Department once again committed gross and illegal insubordination by defying a valid presidential order, refusing to declassify the Russiagate documents Trump ordered declassified. Only on January 19th, 2020, hours before Trump left office, did they sneak over a note to Trump stating that they would have to take a look at the documents he’d ordered declassified and examine them for further redactions.
 
That’s bureaucratese for “We’re ignoring your order and we’ve let the clock run out on your presidency and now we’ve fortified the election so there’s a new president and the Deep State always wins, ha-ha.”
 
If a lot of these documents the feds seized were Russiagate documents — and I bet they were — then these “classified” documents were not in fact “classified.”

In the final hours of the Trump presidency, the U.S. Justice Department raised privacy concerns to thwart the release of hundreds of pages of documents that Donald Trump had declassified to expose FBI abuses during the Russia collusion probe, and the agency then defied a subsequent order to release the materials after redactions were made, according to interviews and documents.The previously untold story of how highly anticipated declassified material never became public is contained in a memo obtained by Just the News from the National Archives that was written by then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows just hours before Trump left office on noon of Jan. 20, 2021.
 
Meadows’ memo confirmed prior reporting by Just the News that Trump on Jan. 19, 2021 declassified a binder of hundreds of pages of sensitive FBI documents that show how the bureau used informants and FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign and misled both a federal court and Congress about flaws in the evidence they offered to get approval for the investigation.

Maybe you’ll see it all when the indictments come.

Good, honorable people are sacrificing their careers and personal security to finally bring this threat to their nation down. That’s what real patriots must sometimes do to honor their oaths.

If the FBI revealed the insider informants’ names at this point, they might as well paint targets on their backs.

@Greg

I don’t think we’ll see anything unless the affidavit and the Russiagate documents are released. When people have been caught LYING repeatedly, they no longer get the benefit of unquestioned credibility and honor. Thanks to the Democrats destroying that credibility in themselves and the FBI, we will require seeing the PROOF before we think about believing the indictments are valid.

As I said, if you want to see Trump’s popularity and support EXPLODE exponentially, go right ahead… indict him. ARREST him. The jig is up; NO ONE believes he has done anything wrong and further persecution is justified. So, go right ahead… CONFIRM it.

It would be about time we begin targeting liars and seditionists instead of cops, Supreme Court Justices and Border Patrol Officers. The FBI is afraid to expose more lies like were used to justify FISA warrants and illegal spying.

One doesn’t leave a rattlesnake loose in the house because of fear of getting bitten while removing it.

Yet there he is, wreaking havoc, causing horrific damage and weakening the nation, idiot Biden stumbling through the White House, doing the bidding of the highest bidder, selling out the nation and f**king the living daylights out of the American taxpaying citizen.

Trump, on the other hand, did nothing but great things to the benefit of the nation, which idiot Biden undid.

Good, honorable people are sacrificing their careers and personal security to finally bring this threat to their nation down.

I’m sure Comrade Greggie is referring to Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Or maybe even James Comey. What role models. Bet they have little statues of Mark Felt on their mantels..

How about Elizabeth Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Brad Raffensperger, Fred Upton, Anthony Gonzalez, Nancy Mace, Dan Newhouse, Tom Rice, Peter Meijer, Herrera Beutler, Lisa Murkowski, Robert Mueller, etc? I can’t even keep track of the republicans on Trump’s personal revenge list.

These are all compromised, Uniparty shills.

They need to go too.

@Greg

Aren’t those all people you villainized until the told the lies you wanted to hear? ANYONE that supported either of the illegal impeachments does not deserve to serve in Congress… and after 2022, many of them won’t. Cheney will be one of them.

For the love of Mike, Comrade Greggie, can you show your ignorance even more than you already do?

Not one person you name on that list is a Republican, unless you count running on the Republican ticket because you know you will lose if you run as a Democrat.

It seems the criteria for you to support a Republican is for them to be as dishonest as you are.

Not one person you name on that list is a Republican

Actually, you’re not a Republican, nor a conservative, nor a respecter of the Constitution, the rule of law, or the true protectors of those things—and neither is Donald Trump. As with Trump himself, those are only things you pretend to care about. YOU people are the aberration from all American norms.

Every person on that list is a Republican with discernment and ethics, whether I agree with them on other things or not.

Trump is a scoundrel, devoid of principles and driven by his ego. He sees himself not as a leader, but as The Leader. His followers view him the same way. He would like to use his influence over them to regain his former powers—and, of course, to somehow evade criminal prosecution, in the same way that he evaded removal from office.

Meanwhile, his rallies have generated hundreds of millions in contributions, and the GOP has paid most of his legal fees. They’re still afraid to confront their own monster, though the wiser ones know condoning and supporting him is becoming increasingly dangerous. He’s under criminal investigation, and attacking the nation’s most fundamental institutions of law and government to cover his ass and fire up his base. They know what they’re supporting. A few are pointing it out.

@Greg
You base all your bile on the false accusations against Trump that are PROVEN to be false. You should feel really stupid to have been used by the Democrats to be nothing but a useful idiot, but apparently you’ve yet to muster the courage to face that fact.

Meanwhile, Hillary destroyed evidence and obstructed justice. She destroyed government records and committed perjury, under oath and on video, before Congress. Idiot Biden has compromised the entire nation by selling out, via his dope head, whore mongering son, to China, Russia, Iran and others. You support actual proven, confirmed scumbags and call Trump a “con man”. YOU are who have been conned, dummy. Conned into supporting anti-American criminals.

@ Goose stepper
Indictments oh no just like the indictment Mueller dream team had on the Russians…OMG they actually showed up to court, then what happened Greggie poopoo britches?
He and his team tucked tail so hard it went up their ass .

NEW: According to a DOJ official, the FBI is NOT in possession of former President Trump’s passports. Trump had accused the FBI of stealing his three passports during the search of his Mar-a-Lago home.

We are also learning tonight that if any items not contained in the warrant were retrieved during the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago, they will be returned.

How can the FBI return something Nora claims they never took?

Washington DC journalism is stenography for the democrat fascist regime. Nothing more.

Actually, you’re not a Republican, nor a conservative, nor a respecter of the Constitution, the rule of law, or the true protectors of those things—

So says Comrade Greggie, the Goose Stepper’s boy, about someone whom he has never met, and will never meet. Comrade Greggie, who is nothing but the DNC’s boot licker. But in some ways, our resident Commie is right; I am not an (establishment) Republican, I am a Christian Conservative Constitutionalist.

People like Comrade Greggie makes me wonder what this nation is all about when we can have such stupid minded, gullible scum who subscribes to the Marxist view point that they are willing to come on a public forum and show their disdain and disrespect for the very thing they are trying to destroy.

Remember, Comrade Greggie is the same pos that has never spoken ill of China in spite of the fact that China unleashed the gates of Hell on the world, not once, but twice. He supports the Nazis in Ukraine. He never holds Democrats to account. Why? Is he so gullible or just so stupid to believe what they say?

Comrade Greggie has been coming to FA for years, spouting the same mantra. It never changes. He simply repeats the blatherings of the DNC, the WEF and the Communist Party.

Yes they took these items despite them not being named in the warrant, the warrant was way to vague to be legal. Napkins, menus, passports, photo albums all taken so important to national security. Even if he had the launch codes, those would have changed, with the election coup.
They were sweeping for evidence that incriminates themselves the same freakshow involved in the Russian Hoax have positions in this new farce.
We see what is going on here, same old song and unconstitutional dance.
Oh they are manipulating the stockmarket as well just before the mid terms.
Have you heard they are coming for the rosary its another extremist symbol, hell my mom has 6 she must be a national threat, perhaps a couple more deep in her jewelry box unused just waiting to be unleashed to topple this administration the UN and WEF.


And, since an “informer” told them where everything was, they took the personal items and attorney/client documents intentionally and illegally. Following the law and Constitution, though, are not the kinds of thinks people like Greg care about. All they care about is destroying the political competition so their incompetence and failure is no longer a factor.

Yet they never point out the threat of Muslim extremism, something that actually KILLS people.

@greg

Do you have a purpose here today?

Has it occurred to anyone what holding multiple passports implies? One of two things: Multiple citizenship, or lawful permanent residency established in more than one country.

05/31/22 – How Many Citizenships Can You Have?

Expatriation & Non-Extradition Countries: Myth or Reality?

What a total asshole you are

Only one was operational, two were expired.

Came here today to lie your ass of some more.

@Greg
Yeah, one is his, one is a diplomatic passport and one is expired.

Any other questions, whinybabie?

The informer may be a distraction theory, they scrarfed up everything even outside of the warrant, mementos everything, he has has two separate office suites, one for ex president one for the resort. A top safe cracker was taken in. I wonder if they liked his asswipe, the stuff with Hillarys picture.

The “informer” serves two purposes. First, it makes the affidavit look good, with an inside guy confirming the need for the warrant and, two, it serves as an excuse to keep the affidavit secret. Can’t risk the life of that “informer”… they may have a “family”.
