“Goodbye Cannon”: Experts say judge’s controversial pro-Trump order doomed after “hostile” hearing


Quote:
During a tense 40-minute hearing in Atlanta, a three-member panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals appeared likely to side with the Justice Department's appeal that Cannon erred in appointing a special master in the first place, according to The New York Times.

The panel in their questions expressed concern that Cannon had "acted without precedent" by ordering the review and had "overstepped by inserting herself into the case" and trying to prevent the government from using the seized documents in its investigation, the outlet reported. Two of the judges were fellow Trump appointees.

Lawyers for the DOJ argued that there was no precedent for Cannon to interfere in a case where no charges had been filed and that she should never have gotten involved in the first place because there is no evidence the August search of Mar-a-Lago was unlawful.

Judge Andrew Brasher, a Trump appointee, pressed Trump attorney James Trusty to cite a "single decision by a federal court other than this one" that had issued a similar ruling. Trusty tried to sidestep the question, arguing that the "raid" on Trump's property was itself unprecedented, before Judge Britt Grant, another Trump appointee, called him out for describing a lawful search as a "raid."

"None of the judges asked any skeptical questions of the Justice Department," the Times report added.

with the conviction of trumps company for violating the law for basically we can assume his entire life. Well and we now find out that the search initially found 13,000 documents when they said there were none, and then more and now some more on thanksgiving.

With the conviction of 17 counts it is time to assume he and his lawyers are all criminals and the DOJ needs to execute search warrants of everything he owns in the world. Again a convicted life long serial criminal can not be trusted and take his passport as well as everyone in his family layers and top advisors.

The Department of Justice has asked a federal judge to hold former President Donald Trump or his office in contempt of court over failing to comply with a subpoena that requires him to turn over all documents marked classified in his possession, two reports said Thursday.

Prosecutors for the department last week told U.S. District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, D.C., that searches for such documents performed by Trump's team of four locations before Thanksgiving were not satisfactory, CNN reported.

The Washington Post, which earlier reported on the contempt request, said a key issue of dispute between the DOJ and Trump's legal team has been his team's repeated refusal to designate someone as a custodian of records who could state that all classified records have been returned to the government.

The Post reported that the DOJ wants Trump's office held in contempt, while CNN reported that the department wants Trump held in contempt.

The subpoena for the classified documents was issued in May.

The reports came a day after news broke that Trump's search team found at least two documents bearing classified markings at one of his storage units in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The DOJ is conducting a criminal investigation of the former president for his refusal to return government documents that were removed from the White House before he left office, and shipped to his residence in his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.

An FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago in August found thousands of government documents, more than a hundred of which were marked classified or highly classified.

Presidents are required by law to return government documents to the government when they leave office.

Trump last month announced that he would seek the Republican Party's nomination for president in 2024.

In Mar-a-Lago case, DOJ wins another dispute over Trump’s lawyers


Quote:
It was about a month ago when Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago scandal effectively returned to its starting point, following an unfortunate legal misadventure. The former president filed an odd lawsuit, which led to an even stranger ruling from a Trump-appointed judge, followed by the appointment of a special master.

Four months after the legal fight began, the entire case was dismissed; the special master went back to his day job; and the Justice Department returned to work investigating the suspected crime, unburdened by restrictions on the materials the FBI retrieved from the former president’s glorified country club.

Since then, there’s been relatively little news about the controversy, but that’s not evidence that the matter is fading away. On the contrary, it’s exactly what was expected given the circumstances: Federal prosecutors are moving forward with their examination, and much of that work happens away from the spotlight.

That said, there are occasional developments of note. The New York Times reported late yesterday:

A federal judge has ordered lawyers for former President Donald J. Trump to give the government the names of the private investigators who searched Mr. Trump’s properties late last year for any remaining classified documents, part of what appeared to be a step by the Justice Department toward questioning the investigators about their efforts, two people familiar with the matter said.

For those who might benefit from a refresher, let’s briefly recap how we arrived at this point, specifically as the story relates to Trump’s private investigators and their search.

It was nearly five months ago when FBI agents executed a court-approved search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, retrieving classified materials that Trump took and refused to give back. There was, however, a related question that has lingered in the background: Are there still other documents in the Republican’s possession that need to be returned?

As recently as early October, the National Archives and Records Administration told Congress that it believes some records from the Trump White House still haven’t been turned over. The New York Times reported soon after that the Justice Department delivered a similar message to the former president’s defense attorneys.

With this in mind, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell pressed Team Trump to do a more thorough search, and the former president hired an outside team to go through his Bedminster golf venue in New Jersey, as well as Trump Tower in New York. The Republican’s lawyers soon after concluded that the searches didn’t turn up anything.

Then they changed course, disclosing at least two items, both of which were marked classified, that were found at a Florida storage unit used by the former president. The materials were, by all accounts, quickly turned over to the FBI.

The disclosures mattered, in part because they left little doubt that Trump failed to fully comply with an earlier federal subpoena, and in part because they suggested the Republican took so many materials marked classified that, in a rather literal sense, he struggled to keep track of them all.

Not surprisingly, Justice Department officials were left with some questions about the private investigators, but the former president and his team were reluctant to share their names. Yesterday, the judge overseeing the matter said Team Trump didn’t have a choice: Prosecutors have a right to know who did the search.

The Times’ report added, “The fact that the Justice Department sought a formal order for the investigators’ names suggests an increasing breakdown in trust between prosecutors investigating the documents case and Mr. Trump’s legal team.”

If there’s any element of this scandal that’s going the former president’s way, I can’t think of it.

this is huge, and no one is noticing....

Trump must have allowed the classified documents tobe electronically copied.... why are not all trump people being raided by the FBI to get their phones and computers. We know trump people can not be trusted with defending the USa and its secrets as they tried to overthrow the government. And are covering up still to this day, they can not be trusted with government secrets.

Here note not making front pages and not even highlighted we see a trump person had electronic files of secret materials that it appears had been at Mar-a- LOCO

Trump legal team turns over additional classified materials to federal prosecutors: reports

The additional materials, which included an empty folder with classified markings, were discovered by Trump’s attorneys at his Mar-a-Lago residence and subsequently handed over to the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to The Associated Press.

A current Trump aide’s laptop was also reportedly turned over to federal prosecutors, after it was found that the classified materials had been electronically copied onto the device, according to ABC News. ABC News was the first to report on the new classified materials.

The discoveries are the latest in a yearlong effort by the Department of Justice to recover classified materials and other records from the former president.

Is Pence subpoena Trump’s nightmare? Ari Melber breaks down DOJ’s pursuit of ‘coup club’

Trump’s attorneys turned over several more classified documents last June, in response to a subpoena from the Department of Justice.

However, amid concerns that classified materials remained at Mar-a-Lago, the FBI obtained a search warrant for the former president’s Florida home in August and discovered about 100 additional classified documents.

Trump’s handling of classified materials remains the subject of an investigation by special counsel Jack Smith, who was appointed in November to oversee the DOJ’s probes into the former president. Smith is also leading the department’s investigation into Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

Reports also emerged on Thursday that former Vice President Mike Pence and former national security adviser Robert O’Brien had both received subpoenas from Smith.

Classified documents have also been found in the private homes of President Biden and Pence — and those documents have been turned into DOJ and are under investigation.

"This wasn't a lawyer, this was a Trump aide, and one that was working for the Save America PAC, which is Trump's favorite PAC at this point," she prompted. "So the fact that it's not someone, it's someone who's not a lawyer, do you think it changes the analysis?"

"Of course," Cevallos replied. "If you give it to your lawyer that's one thing, it could still be problematic. But giving it to someone clearly outside the government, that's a huge problem. Because you've established one of the elements, and not only one of the elements of a criminal statute, but one of the reasons this is a problem in the first place, we don't want classified documents getting into the hands of regular people. That's why they're classified. They're classified because they could pose a threat to national security."

FBI Thinks Trump Playing ‘Shell Game’ With Classified Docs After Box Found in ‘Bridal Suite At Mar-a-Lago’


Quote:
Federal authorities investigating former President Donald Trump believe he’s playing a “shell game with classified documents” after another box was discovered after several searches and a lengthy journey to the Mar-a-Lago bridal suite that now serves as Trump’s office, say CNN sources.

CNN reporting teams have been breaking scoop after scoop on the Justice Department probes into Trump’s mishandling of classified information under the Espionage Act and his conduct surrounding the January 6 insurrection, which are now being headed by special counsel Jack Smith.

The latest scoop comes from Katelyn Polantz, Paula Reid, and Jeremy Herb, and involves the long and strange journey of a box containing classified material that was discovered in December — after the FBI searched the property and Trump aides had searched the property as well.

Some of the report’s key revelations include a colorful description of the box’s journey and some newsy tidbits as well. For example:

Bodega Aurrera
“Investigators working for special counsel Jack Smith in recent weeks have interviewed a Trump aide who copied classified materials found in the box using her phone to put them onto a laptop. After a voluntary interview with the aide, prosecutors subpoenaed the password to the laptop, which she provided, according to one of the sources.”
“People familiar with the Trump legal team’s efforts to locate documents describe a confusing chain of events that delayed discovery of the box, including having its contents uploaded to the cloud, emailed to a Trump employee, and moved to an offsite location before finally ending up back at a Mar-a-Lago bridal suite that is now Trump’s office – the very place that the FBI had searched just weeks earlier.”
One person who described the box’s movements and the special counsel’s inquiry into it described federal investigators as suspecting a ‘shell game with classified documents.’ The person said Trump’s daily movements and instructions to staff are a core part of prosecutors’ questions as well.”
The various attributions used leave the reader guessing as to the identity of the sources.

Several weeks ago, Trump attorney Tim Parlatore addressed the box:

REID: As you just heard, CNN and other outlets reporting that you handed over additional materials, pages with classified markings, a laptop, and a thumb drive over to investigators. Tim, Trump has been out of office for two years. Why do classified materials keep showing up?

PARLATORE: You know, what has happened here that you’ve seen here and also in the Biden and Pence investigations is that the White House does not have proper procedures for handling classified information. And these documents, when they get backed up and sent out when people leave office, they do keep showing up, if you will.

We conducted a search back in December, which is where we found these documents. And we turned them over immediately. These were not turned over last week, although, you know, the DOJ leaked it last week. This was turned over back in December. And so, we have gone through, we’ve tried to work with the DOJ. We’ve tried to do searches of all of the relevant places. And anytime we’ve found anything, we’ve immediately turned it over.

REID: And as we understand it, the laptop that was handed over, it had scanned copies of some of the pages that were handed over. We’ve learned that this, the laptop belonged to an aide from the Save America PAC. So, why would someone from a PAC have access to classified materials?

PARLATORE: She was working as an aide to the president. And this is a box that had all of his daily schedules from his time in office. And she scanned all of those as part of, you know, being available for future speeches or biographies or things like that. And after we did the search in December and we found that within this box of thousands that there were a couple of pages that had a little marking at the bottom, which we turned over.

After that, we found out that she had scanned the box so that it would be digitized. She had no idea that there were any classification markings on anything. And as soon as we found out about that, we called up DOJ to let them know. And immediately provided them access to it.

Jack Smith may be trying to prove Trump tampered with Mar-a-Lago security footage: legal expert


Quote:

According to new reporting from CNN, special counsel Jack Smith is now investigating the Trump Organization's handling of security footage from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, as part of the criminal probe into troves of highly classified documents that were found illegally being stored on the premises — and that longtime Trump security aide Matthew Calamari and his son are a key focus.

Speaking to CNN's Pamela Brown, NYU professor Ryan Goodman argued this is a key indication Smith thinks the footage Trump's legal team handed over previously may have been doctored or otherwise interfered with.

"The special counsel is looking at the handling of surveillance footage that was turned over under subpoena," said Brown. "How significant is this development."

"It's highly significant if the special counsel has reason to think that the surveillance video was tampered with," said Goodman. "It's very significant in two respects. One, this is a case about obstruction, which would be 'obstruction on steroids' if people tampered with the surveillance that the Department of Justice specifically subpoenaed in order to find out what had happened to the classified documents. And the second is that it would be a very serious aggravating factor pointing the Justice Department to indictment under the Espionage Act if, indeed, it included this kind of level of obstruction, of any tampering with the video surveillance. And would also mean that more than one person was involved. That's another aggravating factor that the Department of Justice would have to take into account."

"We played that sound of Trump telling Sean Hannity a few weeks ago, quote, 'I gave them tapes of storage areas, I wasn't holding anything back,'" said Brown. "CNN has reported that the security camera footage that was turned over showed a Mar-a-Lago staff member moving boxes from a storage room with a Trump aide ... what do you think, do you think there's more footage that Trump doesn't want out there."

"That's an open question," said Goodman. "The footage they provided was only of a certain date range. They only keep surveillance video footage for a specific period of time. It also sounds as though the special counsel wants to hear about how people like Walter, who's caught on the video, and the Calamaris may have been discussing it. Moving the boxes out after they received the subpoena and the direction to keep the boxes in the storage room, really important for the Justice Department to know about those conversations entail."
