Trump employee tells FBI of order to move Mar-a-Lago boxes

There was a conference call with Dearie and the parties.

In a phone conference, the special master, Judge Raymond J. Dearie of Federal District Court in Brooklyn, complained that the log of an initial batch of documents over which Mr. Trump is seeking to claim privilege lacked sufficient information to determine whether the arguments were valid.

Judge Dearie encouraged Mr. Trump’s lawyers to give him a better sense of why they believed the documents could be lawfully shielded from the Justice Department’s inquiry into whether Mr. Trump unlawfully kept classified records at his estate and obstructed the government’s repeated efforts to retrieve them.

“It’s a little perplexing as I go through the log,” Judge Dearie said. “What’s the expression — ‘Where’s the beef?’ I need some beef.”

Judge Dearie seemed doubtful, for instance, about one document that Mr. Trump’s lawyers claimed was his personal property — not a government record — and yet also claimed was protected by executive privilege, a designation that is generally used for presidential records.

“Unless I’m wrong, and I’ve been wrong before, there’s certainly an incongruity there,” Judge Dearie said.

The judge also said he wanted more information to support the former president’s claims that some of the documents were shielded by attorney-client privilege. To that point, he asked for the names of any lawyers connected to such materials and suggested that Mr. Trump’s team had asserted privilege over other records even though a third party was involved, suggesting they were not confidential.

“Where third parties are involved in the document, I need some understanding why the presence of the third party doesn’t defeat the privilege,” he said.

It's shaping up to be another bad legal week for Trump. Dearie's calling his lawyers out on their nonsensical claims regarding executive privilege. He's got his deposition tomorrow in the E. Jean Carroll suit (which I've yet to see anyone on here mention.) Bannon's getting sentenced on Friday which could have done influence on how Trump responds to his own Congressional subpoena. And to put the cherry on to of everything, the Durham probe has ended with a whimper as Danchenko was acquitted of all charges.

Yes true, and the report came out that his business was making almost 3x the amount of regular rates, charged to the government when SS stayed on his properties.

take it out of his pay check.

Jack Smith apparently has evidence that the surveillance footage that was subpoenaed from Mar A Lago was tampered with.

Recent witnesses have reported being asked about the footage being tampered/mishandled. The head of Trump's security is also scheduled to appear before the grand jury on Thursday.

It also explains why Corcoran was asked about a phone call he had with Trump the day the subpoena for the footage was issued.

Would be nice to see some proof of all that and just who is claiming this 😁

No proof = clowns 🤡

Today's revelation is the Jack Smith is looking into Trump's dealings with the Saudi Royal Family in regards to the LIV golf tournaments.

Which almost definitely means he's also looking into Jared's multi-billion dollar deal with the Saudis that was made the second Trump was out of office.

This may also be related to the wire fraud charges Smith is investigating in regards to Trump's fundraising.

Jolly Good. Can we be blessed with some articles and sources that would establish some clarity ? 😀

Here you go. It also discusses how someone has flipped on Trump and that's why Smith is now looking into the surveillance footage.

As an added bonus it details some of Corcoran's testimony where he claims he was told that all documents were stored in the storage locker.

Justice Dept. Intensifying Efforts to Determine if Trump Hid Documents

Desperate deflection by mainstreet from the real story of both Hunter and Biden.

A duo peddling influence and laundering abroad.

Quite funny how all this is playing out.

Despite the doom porn, Trumps chillin, was even out the Country, lol.
