Did you notice though that presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is hosting Tucker Carlson on Friday night??

She was great last night in a guest segment.

Now I'm seeing a segment on Alien Secrets on Fox America where you can watch in exchange for a small fee.

You know they are just saying it's nuclear codes so they can redact it and say they can't ever reveal what the raid was about

WOW, DOJ and its cronies are slow dripping a moronic narrative that Trump *might* have stolen nuclear docs to give to Putin. And DOJ was so "concerned" about this they waited 18 months to act, and coincidentally only did so a week after Trump endorsed candidates swept primaries.

It's entirely possible that Trump, knowing his adversaries have tried to arrest and even frame him for yrs, squirreled away a top secret nuclear document, intentionally hoarded it in a personal stash for some reason & made sure not to keep the stash hidden from Secret Service.

Considering recent proven history, with FBI attorney doctoring document (for example) & FBI using false political opp research to pursue a criminal case against him, it's also sadly possible that any sensitive doc, if found on his premises, was planted there by his adversaries.

That's the problem with the same conflicted agencies conducting ongoing investigations of the same political opponent they've falsified info about and tried to frame in the past. If they say they found something, it's going to be difficult for half of US to believe.

Trump calls for ‘immediate release’ of Mar-a-Lago search warrant, says lawyers won’t oppose DOJ move
by Chloe Folmar - 08/12/22 7:16 AM ET

Former President Trump late Thursday called for the release of the warrant allowing the FBI to raid his Mar-a-Lago home earlier this week.

“Release the Documents Now!” he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

Trump’s comments came hours after Attorney General Merrick Garland said that the Justice Department had moved to unseal the warrant.

The former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence was searched by the FBI on Monday, possibly to find classified information that the former president had illegally brought home after the end of his time in office.

Trump said he was “encouraging” the immediate release of documents related to the FBI search of his home, adding that he wanted the public to see the warrant despite its being written by “radical left Democrats.”

“Not only will I not oppose the release of documents related to the unAmerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid and break-in of my home in Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago, I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents,” he wrote.

“Even though they have been drawn up by radical left Democrats and possible future political opponents, who have a strong and powerful vested interest in attacking me, much as they have done for the last 6 years…” the former president added.

Shortly after Garland’s announcement on Thursday, a judge set a 3 p.m. deadline for Trump and his lawyers to oppose the move to unseal the warrant.

The Justice Department has not yet shared information explaining the reasoning behind the search, and many in addition to Trump are calling for the release of the search warrant to the public.

Garland said that he signed off on the move but did not provide further information on the reasoning behind the raid.

“Federal law, long-standing department rules and our ethical obligations prevent me from providing further details as to the basis of the search at this time,” Garland said.

The raid took place following a summer of public hearings arranged by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Donald Trump Mocks Claim He Had Classified Documents on Nuclear Weapons at Mar-a-Lago

President Donald Trump on Friday ridiculed a report suggesting he had classified documents about nuclear weapons at his home at Mar-a-Lago, which prompted the FBI raid on Monday.

Nuclear weapons issue is a Hoax, just like Russia, Russia, Russia was a Hoax, two Impeachments were a Hoax, the Mueller investigation was a Hoax, and much more,” Trump wrote on social media.

The Washington Post cited “people familiar with the investigation,” who claimed the FBI was searching Trump’s home for “classified documents relating to nuclear weapons.”

No other details were provided.

Most likely what this is about is that when Trump met NK's Kim Jong Un, KJU wrote on a cocktail napkin "we have 20 nukes we can drop on you" and slid it over to Trump (who, of course, laughed inside), and Trump kept that napkin as a memento of NK's ridiculousness.

DOJ sought documents from Mar-a-Lago labeled 'special access,' more classified than 'top secret': Report
by Victor I. Nava, Overnight News Editor |
 | August 12, 2022 12:26 AM

The documents sought by the FBI from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate this week included material designated "special access," a label reserved for information even more classified than “top secret,” according to reports.

The classified information that Justice Department officials believe Trump took with him to his West Palm Beach, Florida, home after leaving the White House last year was so sensitive that authorities wanted to take it into possession immediately, according to the reports.

Sources familiar with the investigation told ABC News and the New York Times that the DOJ and the FBI were looking for material labeled “special access,” which is a designation reserved for documents accessible only by those with the highest-level security clearances. The reports indicate that sensitive documents, related to some of the most highly classified U.S. programs, had national security implications, and government officials expressed concern that allowing the materials to remain at Mar-a-Lago could leave them vulnerable to foreign adversaries seeking to acquire them.

FBI found several classified documents in Trump Mar-a-Lago raid: Report
by Cami Mondeaux, Breaking News Reporter |
 | August 12, 2022 08:51 AM

FBI agents found several classified documents during their search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, with some documents being considered the highest level of classification, according to reports.

Investigators discovered "boxes everywhere" in at least two areas of Trump's home, including his personal office and in a storage room near the pool, FBI agents told NewsNation. Some of these boxes contained sensitive material that may be so secret it's unknown if investigators will ever publicly disclose what information was found.

Some of the documents that were recovered may have been related to classified nuclear weapons documents, sources told the Washington Post Thursday night.

It’s not clear what kind of information agents thought may have been included in the boxes taken from the White House or whether these documents were recovered, but experts told the outlet the unusual search points to deep concerns that the sensitive information could fall into the wrong hands.

Information on nuclear weapons materials is highly sensitive and is only given to top government officials, according to experts. If the FBI thought that information was located inside the Mar-a-Lago home, that could potentially explain why agents acted with urgency to execute a warrant.

“If that is true, it would suggest that material residing unlawfully at Mar-a-Lago may have been classified at the highest classification level,” David Laufman, former chief of the Justice Department’s counterintelligence section, told the outlet. “If the FBI and the Department of Justice believed there were top secret materials still at Mar-a-Lago, that would lend itself to greater ‘hair-on-fire’ motivation to recover that material as quickly as possible.”

Trump denied the nuclear report, calling the assumption a "hoax."

Even three days into this, I stand by my wish that these 30+ members of what likely is Garland's Khaki Brigade within the FBI should be held criminally liable for this raid. 

Using the excuse of "Just Taking Orders" doesn't cut it  in an armed political hit job.

Observations on the Mar-a-Lago Raid

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/08/observations-on-the-mir-a-lago-raid.php

There is much to be said about the FBI’s raid on Donald Trump’s home. I won’t try to say it all here. These are a few observations, based on what we know currently:

* To get a search warrant, you have to identify a crime that has been committed, and explain how evidence you are looking for is relevant to that crime. At this point, we don’t know what purported crime was the basis for the Mar-a-Lago search warrant.

----

* The DOJ, in its many press leaks, mostly to its in-house media organ the New York Times, keeps talking about classified information. This is because no penalty attaches to violation of the Presidential Records Act. The Biden administration has to allege the commission of a crime, and that most likely explains its references to classified information.

* I have no idea whether classified information is included in the 15 boxes that Trump has in his basement or not. It wouldn’t be surprising. The serious criminal statutes on classified information relate to passing it on to, say, the Russians or Chinese. As far as we know, there is no suggestion that Trump gave classified information to anyone. He was perfectly entitled to know it and to view it himself; the issue is that he may have taken it to an unauthorized location, i.e., Mar-a-Lago. Until now, this has generally not been considered a serious offense. Sandy Berger is an exception, although he got a slap on the wrist. But in his case, the point was that he stole a document from the Archives, apparently something damaging to the Clinton administration, so as to delete it from the historical record. There is no such suggestion, as far as we know, with regard to Trump.

* Many people have drawn analogies between what Hillary Clinton did and whatever misdeed Trump may now be charged with. I don’t see any comparison. Hillary, while Secretary of State, conducted official business on an illegal, off-the-books server located in her home, apparently for the purpose of evading the Freedom of Information Act. Most notably, the server was insecure, and the Russians, Chinese or others could have, and likely did, intercept her official communications as Secretary of State. Trump, on the other hand, has 15 boxes of documents in his basement. There is no comparison.

[Private Citizen] Trump, on the other hand, has 15 boxes of documents in his basement. There is no comparison.

The statute which the Left continues to cite in regards to classified documents only applies to government workers, agents, contractors, etc.  Donald Trump was none of these when he came into possession of these boxes - boxes that were packed and shipped to him by the GSA after he left office.

DAVID NG  |  11 Aug 2022

The Los Angeles street artist known as Sabo has struck once again, hanging a series of signs around the city that read “bleep the FBI” and “Trump 2024 MAGA.”

Sabo told Breitbart News that five signs were hung all together, including two in Brentwood — with one near The Coral tree Cafe — and one in front of The Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. Two were hung at the intersection Robertson and Melrose Aves. but were removed quickly, the artist said.  .  .  .

It's so funny that Garland says this kind of BS, oh sure he can't say anything but apparently that doesn't stop all the other stooges from spreading all sorts of information(true or not) to the fourth branch of the democrat government.

Live Updates: Documents Taken From Trump’s Home Included Classified Material

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/08/12/us/trump-news

Items removed from Mar-a-Lago included files marked as top secret and meant to be viewed only in secure government facilities, according to a copy of the warrant.

The Justice Department cited serious possible crimes in seeking the Mar-a-Lago warrant.

A list of documents removed from former President Donald J. Trump’s Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, includes materials marked as top secret and meant to be viewed only in secure government facilities, according to a copy of the warrant reviewed by The New York Times.

Federal agents who executed the warrant did so to investigate potential crimes associated with violations of the Espionage Act, which outlaws the unauthorized retention of national security information that could harm the United States or aid a foreign adversary; a federal law that makes it a crime to destroy or conceal a document to obstruct a government investigation; and another statute associated with unlawful removal of government materials.

Sections of the warrant and an accompanying inventory were reported earlier in the The Wall Street Journal on Friday. The search on Monday seized 11 sets of documents in all, including some marked as “classified/TS/SCI” documents — shorthand for “top secret/sensitive compartmented information,” according to the report.

In total, agents collected four sets of top secret documents, three sets of secret documents and three sets of confidential documents. Included in the manifest were also files pertaining to the pardon of Roger J. Stone Jr., a longtime associate of Mr. Trump, and material about President Emmanuel Macron of France.
