A court filing unsealed on Friday included a detailed inventory of the material that the F.B.I. removed in its Aug. 8 search of former President Donald J. Trump’s office and storage area at Mar-a-Lago, his residence and private club in Florida. Among the items seized, according to the list, were 18 documents marked as top secret, 54 marked as secret, 31 marked as confidential and 11,179 government documents or photographs without classification markings. Forty-eight empty folders marked as having contained classified information were also taken, though the list did not specify whether that information was recovered.
In total, the inventory included 33 groups of items that F.B.I. agents removed from Mar-a-Lago, including individual documents as well as containers full of materials like books, articles from newspapers and magazines or gifts and pieces of clothing. These seemingly more innocuous objects were often mixed together in the same boxes or containers as government documents, both with and without classification markings.

Peace man.
to challenge the post
You keep blaming others for what you and your cult pals do, “Renfield”!
The truth doesn’t matter to Trumpers. If the Cheeto shat in their mouths they’d ask for a pardon. This isn’t conservative. It is a cult. What do you think they’d say if Obama or Clinton had those documents? Their inability to answer that question shows how childish their logic is. The Donald can do no wrong. This isn’t about politics. It is a cult. A cult centered on an egomaniacal, narcissistic, ignorant blowhard who makes them feel good. You can’t convince somebody they are in a cult. This isn’t about politics. Despite what they say. It is a religion. It is hard to argue religion with a zealot. Trump won, right?
Didn’t have anything to do with his viewpoint on this one way or the other.
Regarding Trump, it very much matters to me if he held important documents that he had no reason to have…..
It’s just hard to believe the MSM anymore or the DOJ after all of their leaks going one way politically, after their falsification of an affidavit to spy on the Trump campaign, and after their protection of Biden in the last election by interfering to squelch a true story about him, his son, and his laptop which was a blockbuster. There is also the matter of the FBI not allowing observers when they searched for evidence, as well as the fact that when the identical potential crime was being investigated with Hillary, the chose not to pursue the case because “no reasonable law enforcement agency would do so”. Yet this same standard did not apply to Trump.
And then there is the question of why the DOJ would wait so long to act if they knew about such critical information….until just before midterm elections. This is a problem for a clearly biased agency and suggests the possibility that it wasn’t really that important.
So yes, Many of us have issues with the credibility of the claims. That being said, I am a big DeSantis supporter, and removing Trump would make my day. But my day is not as important as truth and fairness.
That’s my view anyways.
and well-reasoned. At least you care that the documents might be at Mar-a-Lago for nefarious reasons and you don’t state he can “wave his hand and declassify the world”. I would disagree with the degree of bias you reliably find in the DOJ. If an investigation into illegal Biden shenanigans (which should have been investigated at a federal level) was intentionally and politically squashed that is a big deal and should be evaluated. I think the DOJ HAD to pursue the Russia lead given how sloppy Trump and his minions were with the Ruskies.
Just because Hillary screwed up with the server doesn’t make Trump’s whole mess forgivable or acceptable….and it doesn’t mean it should be handled in exactly the same way. From a recent NYT article:
“In explaining his agency’s recommendation not to prosecute, Comey cited the lack of four elements that he said had been present “in some combination” in previous prosecutions involving removal or mishandling of classified information:
• “Clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information.”
• “Vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct.”
• “Indications of disloyalty to the United States.”
• “Efforts to obstruct justice.”
Comey concluded: “We do not see those things here.” Thus Clinton was not charged.”
The investigation into the Cheeto is active. Let’s see what turns up.
