Opinion: Trump is captured in a web of lies…

“The defendant DONALD J. TRUMP repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal criminal conduct that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election” (DA Bragg, 04.04.2023).

Donald J. “Papa Don” Trump has now been arrested or indicted in the Supreme Court of New York. District Attorney Alvin Bragg has built up a case and closed the shutters on him. It is now clear that Papa Don cannot run away from the law and a Grand Jury has indicted him. That’s why yesterday was unique and a start of a long case.

The former President and Republican leader now has to answer for himself. Yes, the trial is scheduled early next year. So, it gives time for more discovery and more litigation ahead of it. The man must face 34 counts of criminal intent to falsify financial documents or do so for tax purposes. Yet, another scheme and a long one of that.

This case has now legs and the ones surrounding Trump should be worried. It isn’t the only one he must deal with. There are several of other cases that is encircling him and his closest associates. When they could arraign him over this. It will be much easier for others to pursuit their cases. Since they see the DA in New York could manage it and can stomach the heat.

Just read this one here…

“From August 2015 to December 2017, the Defendant orchestrated a scheme with others to influence the 2016 presidential election by identifying and purchasing negative information about him to suppress its publication and benefit the Defendant’s electoral prospects. In order to execute the unlawful scheme, the participants violated election laws and made and caused false entries in the business records of various entities in New York. The participants also took steps that mischaracterized, for tax purposes, the true nature of the payments made in furtherance of the scheme” (DA Bragg, 04.04.2023).

This was a scheme that lasted for over two years. It wasn’t just a one-time thing. Secondly, the actions was done and discussed even in the Oval Office. Meaning on the dime of the greater public, the President who had conspired to do this during the campaigns… further the case and prolonged into his reign. Trump used his office and related to his businesses, while in Office. Because, he decided and tried to negotiate the transactions, while he was the President. That is a compelling case… and shows what sort of man he is.

This isn’t about the morals of a cheating spouse. No, Trump has been that and is a reason why he has kids by several woman. That’s up of the ones with moral authority to catch up to him. Nevertheless, this case about how he handled infidelity and how he could supress the story. He could have avoided the porn-star and not been off the hook. However, he instead pursuit it and made sure that nobody would know. That was the plan and was the reason for the “hush-money” and the falsified financial documents, which is now haunting him.

The 34 counts are the ones that he must address, and it will be hard to testify differently. Since, the documentation and the evidence forwarded to the DA is reason for the indictment. They cannot come suddenly left field and switch it up. It isn’t like that and especially not with business transactions or financial records. They are either A or B, they cannot be C or D because you like it. Therefore, it’s smart to pin someone with financial fraud and not other crimes. Since, here you have the “headshot”, the signatures and the will to pursuit the illegal activities. It isn’t a conspiracy or a white paper. No, it is a direct scheme with several implications. Meaning other can build on this case too. Especially, if they deem the evidence or the proof as substantial enough to capture Trump yet again. Peace.

Opinion: Papa Don is finally indicted…

That Donald J. “Papa Don” Trump have been able to avoid indictment and being charged with a crime has been his speciality. If Papa Don has ever been tested by the Courts or by the Department of Justice it has been a slap on the wrist, and he could move on. That can be said even with fines, financial malpractice, electoral fraud and all the other possible crimes he has committed. There are a quagmire of running cases against him and his corporation, the Trump Organization.

The previous President, the ex-President and former Head of State is becoming the first who has held the title to ever be charged or indicted by a Court in the United States of America. If Warren G. Harding hadn’t died so soon. He might have gotten the same treatment for the Teapot Dome or any of the other scandals he was in involved in. Another one who could have faced similar treatment would have been Richard Nixon. Maybe he would also have faced time for his involvement in the Watergate scandal. However, that is just assuming and thinking about the past Presidents who could have faced the law for their actions.

Alas, today, the day after the public got the news. There been brewing and reports of possible actions made by the Supreme Court in New York. This is one of the cases which are on-going and facing the former President. It is just one case involving an extra-martial affair and “hush money” to be silenced ahead of the 2016 Presidential Elections. The hobnobbing of Papa Don is haunting him now. The life-style and the choices he made as a civilian is catching up to him. No one is shocked that he had an affair on his pregnant wife. No, that is something Trump has done in previous marriages too… and is just part of who he is. However, this time it was a part of a campaign and using funds of that to cover up his actions. That act and misdeed is now following him and the memory of “Stormy Daniels” are now emerging.

We know that the Trump Organization itself is under investigation and has built up cases against it. There are possible transgressions and systemic fraud been going on in combination of tax-evasion. Therefore, Trump is only having one issue at the time here.

Trump has another case going in Georgia, which is part of him trying to overturn the 2021 Presidential Elections. The others are the ones in who is on-going with the Insurrection on Capitol Hill on the January 6^th and Special Counsel Jack Smith working on at the moment. The tides are turning slowly and the Department of Justice haven’t amped up the speed. It is like they are accepting the stalling tactics and the usage of “prominence” or “prestige” to get away from the law. If he was a small-time crook or holding a little contraband. Trump would have been in the slammer already. However, his the elite and the ones who has been in the upper-echelon of society. That’s why his off the hook and not tasting the same justice system as others. It just shows the two vastly different American experience people can have.

There will be defenders and people saying this is a political case. No, this is a case about the law and how to interpret the law. Secondly, there been enough evidence and discovery to charge the man with a crime. Meaning Trump is indicted and becoming a felon. That’s the gist of it. A man who has been able to get away from charges, allegations and possible criminal for so many years. His business-empire and person has been let scot-free.

Some might say it is wrong to do so and puts a bad precedence. I hate to tell you, if you don’t do the crime, you won’t do the time. It is that simple. Since he left office and lost the election, Trump is just another average Joe or a civilian. If the authorities or Department of Justice finds it worthy. They could build up cases against Bill Clinton, George W. Bush or Barrack Obama. However, there is nothing there or actions, which make that reasonable.

Nevertheless, in concern with Papa Don… there is more than enough and things that he needs to answer for. Not only in the case of Stormy Daniels, but others too. There are plenty more options and places where he fall. This is just first step and possible perp walk. We can only wait for the other numerous cases, which Trump is implicated in. Because, this isn’t the only one and that says something about him. Peace.

Opinion: Garland is very soft on Trump…

 

“Attorney General Merrick B. Garland announced today the appointment of former career Justice Department prosecutor and former chief prosecutor for the special court in The Hague, Jack Smith, to serve as Special Counsel to oversee two ongoing criminal investigations. The first is the investigation, as described in court filings in the District of Columbia, into whether any person or entity unlawfully interfered with the transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election or the certification of the Electoral College vote held on or about January 6, 2021. The second is the ongoing investigation involving classified documents and other presidential records, as well as the possible obstruction of that investigation, referenced and described in court filings submitted in a pending matter in the Southern District of Florida” (Department of Justice – ‘Appointment of a Special Counsel’ 18.11.2022).

You can imagine someone inciting to overthrow the elected government and stealing state secrets would walk free for months on end. In the United States of America that’s the case. The Former President Donald J. Trump can try to install himself in the oval office, incite violence and stop the process of an election. While he can also steal, sell and possible endanger the Republic for personal gains. That’s what Trump has done and still he walks free.

Others who was part of the January 6^th insurrection is already behind bars. Others have pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the prosecution. That’s why it’s interesting that the Attorney General appoints a Special Counsel to look into the case of Trump’s involvement in the January 6^th Insurrection. When he had power, was the President and could have called it off. They all acted on his wishes and he had the motive to do it. That’s easy to see. The former President was the one who could get a second term, if he had succeed that day.

That’s why you know the Attorney General should have instead indicted and started grand jury proceedings. This is so softly going against a man who was willing to end democracy and get himself into office. That sort of man doesn’t care about justice or rule of law. No, he only cares about himself and his own interests.

The second case is also so obvious and he is being treated so uniquely. Trump are able to walk and be free after taking confidential documents. He possibly took the nuclear codes and other highly sensitive secret documents, which are of national importance. They are acting like it doesn’t matter and doesn’t have any real consequences. Because, Trump did it, but we know others has served time and lost their careers in government for taking a single document or leaking it for that matter. This is why this is infuriating. When you know it is boxes upon boxes, which has been returned from his Mar-A-Lago home in Florida.

Attorney General Garland is too careful. Others would have paid the cost and the price already. The AG should have acted more swiftly and ensured a bulletproof case was already certain. It is like it’s glacier slow and only giving Trump time to get into the ring again in 2024. The latest press conference and order of Special Counsel seems to be another move to stall it. Yes, Mueller was able to do certain things, but he never got the big-dogs. That’s why I have little faith in another man or woman in his stead.

Trump is the winner here. The DoJ and the AG is so meek. There is nothing fierce or willing to humiliate Trump. Garland has shown that his not willing to touch or play fair. No, his just depleting all options and not challenging Trump. While Trump can use one scheme and create another scheme. Before the latest scheme is over, he has done another one and a new crime is committed. Meanwhile, he is never paying the price or ever caught. It seems like Trump is a living “get-out-of-jail-free-card”. Since nothing sticks on him and he never get indicted or prosecuted. There is plenty of investigations, but they are not going anywhere. The only real price he has paid is losing his Foundation and paying damages for Trump University. The rest his off the hook and haven’t really gotten punished. That has to stop.

Especially, when he should face charges of insurrection and stealing government documents. Peace.

Opinion: Judge Cannon’s fallacy …

“1. The term “seized material” in the Court’s Order Appointing Special Master [ECF No. 91] is modified to include all materials seized on August 8, 2022, except the approximately one-hundred documents bearing classification markings [ECF No. 91 ¶ 2].

2. Paragraph 5(b)(i)(bb) of the Order Appointing Special Master is hereby STRICKEN [ECF No. 91 ¶ 5].

3. Paragraph 6 of the Order Appointing Special Master is hereby STRICKEN [ECF No. 91 ¶ 6].

Case 9:22-cv-81294-AMC Document 104 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/22/2022 Page 1 of 2” (UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT – SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA – WEST PALM BEACH DIVISION – CASE NO. 22-81294-CIV-CANNON, 22.09.2022).

Today it’s proof that the legal argument for having a special master looking into the documents and whatnot from the 8^th August 2022 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) house search of Mar-A-Lago. Since the defence of Trump himself and his attorneys has been various of weird arguments. We heard the latest in an interview this week that Trump can think and that’s how he “declassified” documents. However, everyone knows that’s impossible and not even clever spin.

Former President Trump had national security documents, documents marked secret and empty binders of that as well. There is several of breaches of law and the security organizations has to assess the damage and possible dangers of the former President having them in a golf-club and storing them in an unsecure location. That’s what the former President did with highly sensitive documents, which should only be at government facilities and around people with proper security clearances. Therefore, the case and defences of it sort of futile. Unless, Trump and his attorney could prove they have “declassified” and done proper procedure. However, that hasn’t been done and it’s obvious they never will. Because, they got nothing and are empty handed. Trump was caught red-handed and like Shaggy trying to sing “it wasn’t me”. Nevertheless, we know it was him and he did this deliberately.

That’s why the taking of a Trump appointed judge in Florida to issue the order of Special Master to review the documents. Really just shows how the former President lacks proper judgement or ideas for having it. Since, he thought the appointed special master would stall the investigation and not ask questions. However, the special master did question Trump and his attorneys without any proper justification for having the classified documents. The only thing this process has done. Is to stop the investigation for some time, but not as much as Trump wanted it.

Now… Judge Aileen Cannon even had to backtrack the Special Master… which is a proven of the lacking justification for it in the first place. These sentences from her will be with her for the rest of her career. Just read it!

On the 15^th September Court Order:

“Lastly, the Court agrees with the Government that “the public is best served by even handed adherence to established principles of civil and criminal procedure,” regardless of the personal identity of the parties involved [ECF No. 88 p. 10]. It is also true, of course, that even handed procedure does not demand unquestioning trust in the determinations of the Department of Justice. Based on the nature of this action, the principles of equity require the Court to consider the specific context at issue, and that consideration is inherently impacted by the position formerly held by Plaintiff. The Court thus continues to endeavor to serve the public interest, the principles of civil and criminal procedure, and the principles of equity. And the Court remains firmly of the view that appointment of a special master to conduct a review of the seized materials, accompanied by a temporary injunction to avoid unwarranted use and disclosure of potentially privileged and/or personal materials, is fully consonant with the foregoing principles and with the need to ensure at least the appearance of fairness and integrity under unprecedented circumstances” (UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT – SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA – WEST PALM BEACH DIVISION – CASE NO. 22-81294-CIV-CANNON, 15.09.2022).

Now that Judge Cannon has STRICKEN the Special Master. That shows the plaintiff and the one under investigation losing out. While the judge has been able to buy a little time. Nevertheless not a lot. Judge Cannon was surely picked because she was a part of Federalist Society and is Republican. She fit the bill and was appointed him. So, when Trump needed a favour… Cannon did that for him now. At least she tried… though she saw it more important to shield and defend Trump over the National Security. That’s the proof of her action and she saw it fit to get a special master when the security agencies should look into the documents and assess the damage further. However, that was partly stopped over the whole ordeal in the Courts.

The Judge has destroyed her name in honour of giving Trump what he needed. She served Trump and not the nation. In a government office, she saw it more important to serve him, than considering the national security implications of this case. That is an act that shouldn’t have happened, but it did and for her it should have consequences. Though we cannot expect impeachment or any sort of reaction. Her name is now tainted and so is her role as a judge.

Her decision to ensure the case got a Special Master to later rescind it or STRICKEN it. Just shows how she failed and how her legal arguments was false. It was a farce and there is nothing good coming out of it. Not even Trump is getting his way and his lucky it hasn’t had further consequences yet. Because, anyone else would be in bracelets and be indicted for having such material in their home. However, his still walking around and being a public figure. Really showing contempt of the courts and their duties. Therefore, this case has to be resolved and the statutes used against him has to be addressed. Since the FBI couldn’t have done a house-search without proof or evidence of the committed acts of the Former President.

That is something the Judge must have known, but she chose to side with Trump. This is the total disarray of her arguments and reasoning to get the Special Master. She has now shown to the world what sort of judge she is. Another lackey and someone who doesn’t value rule of law, which is a sad fact when she’s in-fact as custodian of the law. Judge Cannon should be one of the first to understand and act accordingly, but she chose partisanship. That reflected in the manners of which she got the Special Master. Today she has backtracked it, but the decision will linger on forever.

Just for one reason. A judge chosen a person over national security. No one would believe that is possible, but in this case it was. It is weird writing those words, but someone chose Trump over the law. That shows where the loyalty lays and where the oath went. It wasn’t to uphold the nation or the ideals of the state. No, it was to serve and do it by any means necessary. Peace.

A final memo: The STRICKEN part is sadly only that the marked classified documents are out of the scope for the Special Master. The Special Master still have to review the other documents, but Trump attorney’s will be questioned and have to answer for still having them. Since they are deemed as government documents. There might be private documents in between the government documents, but that is incriminating. Therefore, the next few days will be interesting in this regard. Judge Cannon still chose Trump over National Security in regard to the Classified Documents. Peace.

Opinion: The reasons for the FBI Search of Mar-A-Lago makes more sense by the minute

“There are important national security interests in the FBI and others in the Intelligence Community getting access to these materials. According to NARA, among the materials in the boxes are over l 00 documents with classification markings, comprising more than 700 pages. Some include the highest levels of classification, including Special Access Program (SAP) materials. Access to the materials is not only necessary for purposes of our ongoing criminal investigation, but the Executive Branch must also conduct an assessment of the potential damage resulting from the apparent manner in which these materials were stored and transpotted and take any necessary remedial steps. Accordingly, we are seeking immediate access to these materials so as to facilitate the necessary assessments that need to be conducted within the Executive Branch” (Acting Archivist of the United States, Debra Steidel Wall letter to Evan Corcoran, 10.05.2022).

The raid or the search of the home of Donald J. Trump or Mar-A-Lago, Florida on the 9^th August 2022 is just becoming obvious. It is a reason why the Trump lawyers and their whole “transparency” plans is backfiring.

The former President is now in hot water. That’s because of what the documents that is leaked is saying about the investigation. All the sorts of defences and excuses to have the documents doesn’t make any sort sense now. The documents are not planted, declassified or allowed to be there. Secondly, after the last revelation. It is a possibilities that the documents are missing, lost or traded away.

One way or another… there is conspiracy and intent of the former President here. He took these documents and withheld them from the authorities. There was a long discussion and grand jury subpoena for the return of the set documents, which the former President didn’t comply with.

As the former Head of State he didn’t only breach the rules of taking these documents away from the archives and outside the White House. The former President did this deliberately and kept some documents in an unsecure storage facility and others was either in his desk or in his office. Where they found “43 Empty Folders with “CLASSIFIED’” Banners” and “28 Empty Folders Labeled “Return to Staff Secretary Miliary Aide”. In addition they found several of classified, top secret and secret documents too. Therefore, there is several of questions remaining why he had this and kept these privately.

There was even more in the storage unit of missing documents and secret documents as well. This just shows to what extent this enterprise was. It seems like it was leverage and possible means to an end.

The former President is investigated under several of statutes and one of them is the espionage. If the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) find proofs of the conspiracy or the possible criminal acts. That would be detrimental to it.

However, even without the Espionage Act breaches and possible damage to national security. The law enforcement can go after the former President for breaching the law with having these documents illegally and storing them as well. He broke the law by not complying and letting the NARA take over these. The final part is the endangering the nation by holding these documents and whatever they contained. There was a lot of missing pages and we have no idea what was on them or their designated meaning for either the military or any other vital part of the US Government.

Here Trump has outplayed himself. This isn’t just a scandal, but a crisis of national security. Where people are starting to wonder, if he is a spy and was doing espionage. If he did that… he did something seditious and acted in treason. Just like he was when he incited the mob to attack the capitol on the 6^th January 2021 and tried to make a cover coup d’etat to overturn the previous Presidential Election in his favour. It just shows to what extent he does to do thing for personal gains.

Former President Trump isn’t a man of honour, but a man of criminal exposure and for some strange reasons… his been able to avoid the slammer all of his life. While everyone around him is either pleading guilty, being investigated too or possibly facing time. That’s why he promises pardons to everyone supporting his cause. Because, he know he cannot win lawfully and be living according to the law. The law is a problem for him and it’s catching up to him too. Peace.

Opinion: The most damning paragraph in the FBI Affidavit to Search Mar-A-Lago

“It is respectfully requested that this Court issue an order sealing, until further order of the Court, all papers submitted in support of this application, including the application and search warrant. I believe that sealing this document is necessary because the items and information to be seized are relevant to an ongoing investigation and the FBI has not yet identified all potential criminal confederates nor located all evidence related to its investigation. Premature disclosure of the contents of this affidavit and related documents may have a significant and negative impact on the continuing investigation and may severely jeopardize its effectiveness by allowing criminal parties an opportunity to flee, destroy evidence (stored electronically and otherwise),change patterns of behavior, and notify criminal confederates” (FBI Affidavit for Search of Mar-A-Lago, 2022).

The former President Donald J. Trump is in a lot of legal trouble. There will come a lot litigation and possible criminal cases pending. Because the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) did this as a last chance to get the documents, records and whatnot that the former President had kept in his residence, Mar-A-Lago in Florida.

It is really insane the excuse and the reasoning for the defence of keeping these documents or records. When the former President went into the campaign in 2016 and ahead of the polls just questioning the private email-server of opponent Hillary Clinton. Which was exonerated and investigated into. Yes, Hillary Clinton shouldn’t have done that and given the FBI reasons to investigate her ahead of the polls. However, because of buffoonery of her, it happened.

Now, in 2022 the former President is in even more hot-water than Hillary ever was. The FBI raid of Mar-A-Lago. The share amount of classified, secret, top-secret and TS/SCI documents is staggering. That the former President has kept documents that are of such importance and possible could breach national security. In such a manner, that it’s speaking of nuclear secrets and other national defence information (NDI), which shouldn’t ever be in private hands or outside of secure locations of storage…

Mar-A-Lago was never facilitated to be a secure location. Neither did then President Trump have the rights or the “Executive Privilege” to declassify it. Secondly, these documents wasn’t planted there. Neither, was Trump co-operating with the authorities. That’s why the FBI only saw it fit after trying to get it for months. They had to make the affidavit and get the judge to sign of on the house-search and cease the documents. Which was apparently the only way to retain it…

The larger questions now after the release of the redacted affidavit. There are several of unanswered questions. Not the amount of documents and such. As these documents and possible national secrets could be traded or in part of an espionage mission of some sorts. That’s why the big lie has turned into the big spy. Not only because of the FBI and the Department of Justice used the Espionage Act as part of search, but also the Presidential Records Act and possible obstruction of justice. The last part isn’t anything new, as the President had no trouble obstructing justice in office. That was part of his game-plan and what he did into the investigations surrounding him. Either it was in the Congress or by the Authorities.

If Trump has sold these secrets and national defence information to foreign entities. If he has allowed that to happen. Than a President has gone from being a head of state, into a full fledged traitor of his Republic. It is bad enough that he wanted to overturn and do a coup d’etat against the system he was running at that point. That is saying something, which is seditious in itself and taking it a further step. Just is showing how far the former President could have possibly taken it.

That is just speculation, but there is so many unanswered tales, because of the issue of the documents and what they could possibly contain. It wasn’t like this was publicly available information or sort stuff any private person should have around. No, that’s why this is so damning. Just the idea itself of having it and taking it on purpose. That shows intent and there was some underlying interests in doing so.

Hopefully the investigations will tie the loose ends and the finally indict the former President. That’s when the man will fear the law and actually have huge meltdown. Because, for the first time in his life. He might have to properly answer for his actions. Before he has lost the ability to run a foundation, fined for running a fake university and stifled payment to other companies working for his company. However, he has gotten away with that and also gotten away with vast debt that others could only dream about.

This is why he thinks he can get away with this too. Since there been no real consequences for him. While the wheels of the law is slowly turning. It is looking grim for him. The only hope we can have is that this actually amount to something. Now it really obvious that this man isn’t a trustworthy one. Neither does he care about the law, procedures or anyone else than himself. Peace.

A look into the FBI’s affidavit: The reasons for the FBI Search Warrant to raid Trump’s Mar-A-Lago

 

On the 9^th August the home of former President Donald J. Trump. Mar-A-Lago was raided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI had done everything through procedure and protocol. That’s why the FBI had gotten Search Warrants and ability to enter his building/home legally. This was done, because the former President hadn’t complied with the authorities and hadn’t returned government owned documents. That’s why this went down and there are credible reasons for doing so.

The affidavit states clearly this: “After an initial review of the NARA Referral, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) opened a criminal investigation to, among other things, determine how the documents with classification markings and records were removed from the White House (or any other authorized location(s) for the storage of classified materials)and came to be stored at the PREMISES; determine whether the storage location(s) at the PREMISES were authorized locations for the storage of classified information; determine whether any additional classified documents or records may have been stored in an unauthorized location at the PREMISES or another unknown location, and whether they remain at any such location; and identify any person(s)who may have removed or retained classified information without authorization and/or in an unauthorized space”.

Here is the main issue and the unlawful activity of the former President. It is easy to read this and understand what Trump did. He did blatantly take documents, records and classified information, which he wasn’t allowed to store. Neither did he have secure facilities or the rights to have it. That has been stated in reports in the press already that Trump had “secret”, “top secret”, “classified” and even “TS/SCI”, which is not only highly classified, but only supposed to be kept in certain location and you need special clearances to even get access to it. Therefore, this is case appalling and how little “national security” matters for the “law and order” former President.

The affidavit further says: “The FBI’s investigation has established that documents bearing classification markings, which appear to contain National Defense Information (NDI),were among the materials contained in the FIFTEEN BOXES and were stored at the PREMISES in an unauthorized location”.

Here is talk of compromising documents… and should never ever leave the premises of secure locations. That’s what Trump took to Mar-A-Lago. This could contain vital military secrets and could be dangerous for the national security. He has taken this to his home as he left office.

In addition: “Further, there is probable cause to believe that additional documents that contain classified NDI or that are Presidential records subject to record retention requirements currently remain at the PREMISES. There is also probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction will be found at the PREMISES”.

The ones that defends his rights to have these documents are now partly insane. Because the preposition of having classified NDI or even TS/SCI outside of safe or secure locations are insane. They should never really be kept outside that and only a selected few with clearances can see it. People who leaks or even tries to whistle-blow this sort of information become felons and get punished with the espionage act. As they violated the state and it’s security. The same can now be said by the former President.

Another interesting fact is this one: “Based upon this investigation, I believe that the STORAGE ROOM, FPOTUS’s residential suite, Pine Hall, the 45 Office, and other spaces within the PREMISES are not currently authorized locations for the storage of classified information or NDI. Similarly, based upon this investigation, I do not believe that any spaces within the PREMISES have been authorized for the storage of classified information at least since the end of FPOTUS’s Presidential Administration on January 20,2021”.

This just shows what sort lack of care or concern for these documents. The former President has violated several of codes and because of his reluctant acts to return then. The FBI has to get a search warrant and get it all. They had to investigate and prove all exhaustion of remedies to get it returned. This just shows what sort of contempt for the law the former President has and how he thinks his above it.

The affidavit doesn’t make the case any better for Donald J. Trump, because the redacted parts of the affidavit only shows there are more unknown acts or possible crimes investigated. The parts that is unleashed today on the public. Only shows what sort acts that has been done by him. There was intent and he stored illegal documents, which has vital national defense information (NDI). That’s compelling and spelling out what he did.

So, if the former President thinks this affidavit vindicate him in any way. No, it only shows the public what sort of man he is and how he violates the law without any consideration of the implications. Because, others would have been in the slammer or behind bars for this much sooner. Peace.

Opinion: No one should have TS/SCI documents in their home, yet Trump did…

“Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) is classified national intelligence information concerning or derived from intelligence sources, methods or analytical processes, which is required to be handled within formal access control systems established by the DNI. The SCI control system structure is the system of procedural protective mechanisms used to regulate or guide each program established by the DNI as SCI” ((U) Intelligence Community Authorized Classification and Control Markings – Register and Manual, 2012).

The ones that are downplaying the severity of the revelation that former President Donald J. Trump took not only “Secret”, “Top Secret” and “Classified” documents to his Mar-A-Lago home after ending his term. The former President in addition took the ones classified as TS/SCI.

All of this shouldn’t have happened in the first place. No Head of State or Commander-in-Chief has done this. There been instances where there been whistleblowers who has released highly classified documents and been targets of the Republic afterwards. This being Edward Snowden, Reality Winner or anyone else who has in the recent years done that. They breached the trust of the state and their security clearances by doing this.

Even back in 2008, the former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales story says it all really:

“In sum, our investigation concluded that Gonzales mishandled classified materials regarding two highly sensitive compartmented programs. We found that Gonzales took his classified handwritten notes home and stored them there for an indeterminate period of time. The notes contained operational aspects and other information about the NSA surveillance program that is classified at the TS/SCI level. By regulation, such material must be stored in a Sensitive Compartmented Storage Facility (SCIF). At the time he took these materials home, Gonzales did not have a SCIF at his house. Although Gonzales did have a safe at his residence at this time, we found that he did not use it to store the notes. We also found that Gonzales improperly stored other highly classified documents about the two compartmented programs in a safe at the Department that was not located in a SCIF. Several employees in the OAG had access to the safe where Gonzales stored the documents even though they lacked the necessary security clearances for this information. We concluded that Gonzales’s mishandling of both the notes and the other classified documents violated Department security requirements and procedures” (Office of the Inspector General – Special Report – ‘Report of Investigation Regarding Allegations of Mishandling of Classified Documents by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ September 2008)

So with that in mind, the TS/SCI especially, which is the highest levels of secrecy and national intelligence. The sort of documents that shouldn’t be anyone’s home. The sort of documents that contain secrets of national defence or otherwise security programs, which shouldn’t be easily accessed. That sort of documents was what former President Trump had in his home. The sort of document that should only be stored in a Sensitive Compartmented Storage Facility (SCIF) and Mar-A-Lago is far from that.

The former Attorney General Gonzales mishandled documents too and took them home. What was striking about Gonzales was that he wasn’t charged after that and was shielded for prosecution. While the media at the time was hit the Espionage Act, if they published or discussed the matters. Which is ironic, as the public should know about the actions of their Attorney General and his activities.

That’s what’s happening today and President Trump can say that the documents was already “declassified”. However that is just hearsay at this point, because why did he take them home and store them? Why if they weren’t important… why did he keep them and have it in his home? That doesn’t make sense.

Secondly, there is a process and legalise to how documents of these manner get classified and declassified. It isn’t just a blink of an eye and that a President Orders to be so. No, when it comes to National Security and Secrets that is deemed by the Director of National Intelligence(DNA) and National Security Agency (NSA). All of these has procedures and means to have oversight of the documents, as well as the Department of Defence (DoD) and Central Intelligence Authority (CIA). So, it isn’t an easy escape or way of getting it.

The third aspect is that with every level of secrecy a person needs a clearance and needs to be designated to work with it. It isn’t like free entry and everyone allowed to read or store. That’s why what Trump did is very dangerous. That from the same man who had issues that Hillary Clinton had a private Email-Server in her home while serving as U.S. Secretary of State. This was investigated and the authorities didn’t find any direct illegal by it, but it shouldn’t have happened. However, as bad as that was… the way the former President took documents has to be answered for.

As Trump did take documents, which are designed to be within a SCIF facility and be contained in a secure location. When he has taken such documents to Mar-A-Lago his clearly not caring about National Security or the National Secrets. He believes his obliged and approved to keep onto it. Others would have served time like Reality Winner. Hell, would be in exile like Edward Snowden. So, who does Trump think he is?

Just to read that someone takes TS/SCI home and doesn’t store those things correctly. That sound send chills down your spine. That the FBI did take so much documents and had such a list of things that Trump kept in his home, says a lot about what he did. This is a deliberate act and not just a random act. Especially, when the documents are so visibly stamped and regulated as is. It just shows how reckless and how his acting…

If he thinks he can double down with “declassified” or “copies” or whatever excuses. That will not stick. Because, you as a former Head of State should know better. It should also be a bad omen when the Department of Justice is investigating him under the Espionage Act. That is signalling that he could have “sold” or used the document as leverage with foreign entities. This is also seditious and treasonous, if proven so.

Trump has a lot to answer too. Not only this investigation. We know there was three statutes, which was the reason for the FBI “raid” of Mar-A-Lago. He has several of other cases built against him and he should be worried. The proof and evidence of the level of document kept in Mar-A-Lago only shows what his willing to do.

The ones trusting this man is clearly not seeing the whole picture. A man who is willing to endanger and breach national security for his own interests. While acting like a victim, when he did it himself and tried to keep these things as long as he could. That’s why the FBI needed a warrant and “raid” his home.

He did something very obviously “illegal” and that should have consequences. While Gonzales didn’t pay a price. He took less documents, but I wonder if anyone want to shield Trump now? Does he have friends or associates willing to trade national intelligence and national security over saving their messiah?

Time will tell.. but it shows how Trump acts and doesn’t care about “rule of law”. Peace.
