Justice Dept. Is Said to Believe Trump Has More Documents

[orleans]

Source: New York Times

Conversations between department officials and the former president’s representatives have underscored investigators’ skepticism about his cooperation and exposed a rift among his lawyers.

A top Justice Department official told former President Donald J. Trump’s lawyers in recent weeks that the department believed he had not returned all the documents he took when he left the White House, according to two people briefed on the matter.

The outreach from the official, Jay I. Bratt, who leads the department’s counterintelligence operations, is the most concrete indication yet that investigators remain skeptical that Mr. Trump has been fully cooperative in their efforts to recover documents the former president was supposed to have turned over to the National Archives at the end of his term.

It is not clear what steps the Justice Department might take to retrieve any material it thinks Mr. Trump still holds.

1. Try locking him up.

I doubt he’s ever enjoyed a night behind bars.

[Orrex]

15. Seriously, what the fuck.

A few years back police raided the house of a a guy up the street from me, finding a stolen gun, a small quantity of drugs, and a few thousand dollars.

He was denied bail as a flight risk and was jailed pending trial.

A large quantity of stolen classified materials are found in the raid of MaL, exactly as expected, yet Trump walks free, doing his best to taint any jury pools nationwide while rallying his KKKult of fuckheads into a murderous frenzy.

But I know, I know. The System™ is working.

Who DIDN’T know that?

[C_U_L8R]

3. Soooo... maybe more search warrants are warranted?

Trump properties and those of his conspirators are just sitting there aching to searched... meanwhile who knows what evidence has been destroyed or sold off to foreign adversaries.

16. Hey now, let's not do anything drastic

We don't want to risk creating the impression that Trump is subject to the rule of law.

[EndlessWire]

6. You have to read the Times link.

It explains several options that the DOJ has in regards to empty folders and missing documents. Interesting.

[Scrivener7]

7. We've known this for months.

[Jvp]

8. more documents

what do you think is buried along with the body of trumps former wife on that golf course?

[BlueIdaho]

9. Seems to me he has become a security threat.

The best way to contain that threat is to incarcerate TFG. Especially now with Putin threatening to use nuclear weapons we must protect ourselves from all enemies foreign and domestic.

10. Trump seems to be out of lawyers who will 'verify' that all classified docs have been returned.

Trump seems to be out of lawyers who will 'verify' that all classified docs have been returned.

Let's see Trump swear under oath that all have been returned.

20. The Irony

The guy who didn’t trust email stole paper documents to sell/hold hostage…

…in case a prosecutor proves him a criminal and he needs money and leverage to make a deal to escape justice.

It’s all about the money with this sick fuck.

21. Two words.... Ivana's Grave

[Grimelle]

22. Ivana's grave

could be the safest place for them to be.
He can't sell them or can he?

[lark]

23. Search all his other places, especially Bedford where we know boxes went.

Ivanka's grave should be screened for other items as well. Sure they can do that without disturbing her remains. He's either hiding something or he's already sold those and they are in Putin's or MBS's hands.

[notdarkyet]

28. I believe they went home with the Saudis after the golf tournament as party favors. I Think

MBS is paying trump back by screwing our gas quota.

[lark]

29. Makes total sense.

25. Seems there is some very timid staff assigned to investigate Trump's national security breach

The staffers are fainthearted and skittish. From the link posted.

"The problem with the DOJ staffing on the MAL case (at least what is visible) is the lead attorney is trained to think of DOJ’s role as negotiating compliance with the law after the person is discovered to be in violation vs indicting the person to promote compliance with the law," he wrote."

Yeah, just what you need. A fearful staff who thinks national security and theft of government property is negotiable. And still there are more classified documents not returned because no one checked all his other homes and stash locations.

[CrispyQ]

26. Then do something! JFC, do something!

It's past time to pull off the kid gloves & put on the boxing gloves. We look weak, as a party & as a country.

[twodogsbarking]

27. Poor law enforcement in my opinion.
