Trump's own lawyer blows up his 'planted' evidence claims

.

"The FBI and others from the Federal Government would not let anyone, including my lawyers, be anywhere near the areas that were rummaged and otherwise looked at during the raid on Mar-a-Lago," Trump ranted on Truth Social on Tuesday. "Everyone was asked to leave the premises, they wanted to be left alone, without any witnesses to see what they were doing, taking or, hopefully not, 'planting.' Why did they STRONGLY insist on having nobody watching them, everybody out?"

Bobb acknowledged on Thursday that while surveillance cameras at Mar-a-Lago were shut off for a "very short period of time" while FBI agents spoke to Trump's legal team, the former president and his family were able to view the entire raid through surveillance video.

"I think the folks in New York — President Trump and his family — they probably had a better view than I did. Because they had the CCTV, they were able to watch," Bobb told the right-wing outlet Real America's Voice.

1. It's not that they didn't want them to see it. They didn't want them grabbing stuff

2. They also asked that the CCTV cameras be turned off

Why?

Because they were searching for classified documents.

They wanted no unauthorized eyes or cameras on those documents - which is precisely how it should have been done.

Trumps CCTV will show them arriving without the 20 (reports increased from 12) boxes they took away so that is going to be a problem for the planting story. Empty handed agents plant 20 boxes of stuff?

5. I'd bet money Mar-a-Lago is bugged and the CCTV is compromised

Chinese or Russian, take your pick.

6. I would not bet against you.

Though I bet Doj/FBI/law enforcement had them under surveillance for some time before the search

3. No, the lawyer is making the argument that the Trumps know evidence was planted because they

were watching, and therefore they know things that the naysayers and FBI defenders do not. Her claim, while likely bullshit in every which way, doesn't blow up their claims at all.

4. Yea, right.

Every perp since the beginning of time has made that kind of claim. The vast majority of them ended up in jail.

So is he going to go with "planted evidence" or that the documents were declassified and were his personal property?

I say we lock his ass up to give him time to develop his defense without undue distractions.

7. No decent attorney will work for TFG
