Part of the lawfare efforts of Jack Smith against PDJT was to get a search warrant from some Florida magistrate to look for some supposed classified documents that Trump was holding/hiding in Mar-a-Lago. FBI agents swarmed Mar-a-Lago and apparently took some 100,000 documents with them.
The agents staged photos of folders with Top Secret markings on them strewn around on the floor to make it appear that Trump was extremely careless in how he handled such information. The idea here was to convince the public that Trump should not be elected again because he would put the country at risk with such careless handling of these kinds of information. It was also done to convince the public that there really was something there that needed proceedings in a courtroom.
There was nothing found that matched the claim made in the warrant. And I believe that the claims in the warrant were just subterfuge to gain access to Mar-a-Lago. The real question here may be this. Just what were they really looking for?
Let’s be reminded that on several occasions starting in November, 2019, PDJT along with some members of his family had claimed that they “had caught the swamp…had caught them all.” Now we all know that Trump can be prone to exaggeration. Just what did he mean?
Fast forward to March 2022. PDJT filed a 108-page lawsuit in a Florida court. The suit was against Hillary Clinton, Hillary for America Campaign Committee, DNC, DNC Services Corp, Perkins Coie, Michael Sussmann, Marc Elias, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Charles Dolan, Jake Sullivan, John Podesta, Robby Mook, Phillipe Reines as well as Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson, Peter Fritsch, Nellie Ohr, Bruce Ohr, Orbis Business Intelligence, Christopher Steele, Igor Danchenko, Neustar Inc., Rodney Joffe, James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Kevin Clinesmith and Andrew McCabe. It was RICO action.
In total, 508 claims were made against the defendants. And there were many sub claims. These assertions would need a ton of documentation along with hundreds of citations to dozens of attachments. The attorneys would have needed these in order to create the suit. They were not there.
So, what was the lawsuit really about? Let’s be reminded that the “ongoing investigation” angle created by the John Durham probe was essentially blocking public release of declassified documents showing the efforts of all the lawsuit participants (Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax). There was an obstruction risk to the President, if his legal team was to publish citations that were part of an ongoing investigation.
President Trump needed a legal way to secure and more importantly share evidence.
From Sundance:
Think of it like the people around Trump wanting to show lawyers the evidence in the documents. However, because of the construct of the lawfare being deployed against Trump, any lawyer would need a *reason* to review the evidence. The Trump -v- Clinton et al lawsuit becomes that ‘reason.’
The “documents” (classified or not) were likely reviewed by lawyers in preparation for the lawsuit. This is their legal justification for reviewing the documents. In essence, the lawsuit was a transfer mechanism permitting the Trump legal team to review the evidence on behalf of their client, former President Donald Trump.
Once the formation of the lawsuit was established, the retainer and acceptance of the lawyers to represent their client cemented, the legal counsel, discussion and information within legal duties/obligations of those who represent the plaintiff (Trump) becomes an information silo. In addition to previous executive privilege established by President Trump himself; outside government there is now another silo to defend against the motives of the Lawfare crew (DOJ), the attorney-client privilege.
So, was the raid looking for evidence of the corruption within our government that had weaponized the DOJ, FBI, et al against political opposition?
