Astonishing breaking story from the Washington Post via Yahoo.News and this headline from Reuters:
“Document seized from Trump home
described foreign government's nuclear capabilities: Washington Post”
The first chart above is a lie-filled quote from Trump on his
Truth SOCIAL page posted on August 12, 2022, which was a few days after the August
8, 2022 FBI document raid at Mar-a-Lago.
The second chart hints at the Washington Post shocking
report (September 6, 2022) linked above by great WaPo reporting.
From the story:
WASHINGTON (Reuters)
– A document describing a foreign government's military defenses, including its
nuclear capabilities, was found in the FBI's search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago FL
resort home (Washington Post report).
The Post report, which
cited people familiar with the matter, did not identify the foreign government
discussed in the document, nor did it indicate whether the foreign government
was friendly or hostile to the United States.
Trump representatives and
the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment from
Reuters.
The FBI recovered more than 11,000 government documents and
photographs during its August 8 search – that according to court records.
Also, according to the Post, some of the seized documents
detail top-secret U.S. operations that require special clearances, not just Top-Secret/SCI clearance. In fact, some of the documents are so restricted that
even some of the Biden administration's senior-most national security officials
were not authorized to review them.
As we know, the DOJ is investigating Trump for removing
government records from the White House after he departed in January 2021, then
storing them at Mar-a-Lago.
Related: On
Monday (Labor Day), U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon — a Trump appointee —
said in her ruling that the “Special Master” should be able to review the
seized documents both to address questions of attorney-client privilege and to
litigate claims of executive privilege.
My 2 cents: Based my more than 44 years of military and DOD service
with much of that time in the intelligence field, I know as the FBI assessment
says, and that is, government employees screening the documents already had set
aside the ones that might have been protected by attorney-client privilege and they
also argued that executive privilege was not at play here – thus the special
master approval is basically a moot point.
Also, even the special master
would be need a high level special clearance to even see or handle any
high-level nuclear-related documents, assuming they even will be found – which
at this point seems highly unlikely.
Plus, there is no provision
in law to give anyone them a “temp nuke access clearance.”
However, the special
master approval enhances Trump’s main goal and that is: To stall and delay and
disrupt this whole process and to run out the clock as it were for his benefit
and lifelong strategy in serious legal cases involving him with possible jail
time on the other end like surely does.
Stay tuned – this truly is
earth shaking news.
