1. Wow. . . . nt

[NullTuples]

71. In retaliation, Trump doxxed the agents.

"Trump apparently leaked the warrant to Breitbart. The DOJ had sought to redact or shield the names of agents involved. Trump took no caution. The Breitbart article has names of agents, which obviously puts a target on their back."

You have to go to Brietbart and give them the clicks & cookies, but they posted the entire warrant without redacting names, etc.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

89. Wow again, that's domestic terrorism by tRump, or mobilizing private army for personal gain. nt

[NullTuples]

91. It was his counter move to DoJ requesting to release the warrant.

He figured if he did it first he was in control, therefore he wins.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

92. Yeah, tRump logic: Win by committing yet another crime. . . . nt

[SheltieLover]

2. Yes!!!!!

[mitch96]

72. " Yes!!!!!".. You betcha.. This is gonna get juicy...nt

[SheltieLover]

74. It sure is!

I wonder if Depends stock has skyrocketed?

[FirstLight]

3. This is no game. Proper procedure must be followed perfectly.

I freaking love this stuff... It's forensics and science as well. And you bet your aSS the FBI has not been handling these without gloves!

Looking forward to this entire thing unfolding

[iluvtennis]

42. I'm like you - love this forensic analyses stuff

[BComplex]

88. Don't all the printers and paper have those little watermarks? Won't that

alert the forensic people to which printer was used?

[leftieNanner]

4. And I'm Guessing

That every White House and Federal employee had their fingerprints taken as part of the background check!!


Ding-Ding-Ding!

[crickets]

12. Does this include elected representatives? Asking for a friend... nt

[leftieNanner]

14. Ooh! Good Thought!

I would think so.

Wouldn't that be .... interesting.....

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. Do ghouls leave fingerprints? How about trailer queens and kiddie gates?

[COL Mustard]

40. Linseed has been fingerprinted

As a member of the military he had to be.

[peppertree]

50. Plus foreign authoritarians

[Sgent]

76. Not usually

but any former military would be.

Also, I think all bar associations now fingerprint as part of criminal background checks before membership, but I'm not sure how long they have done that (so older attorneys might be grandfathered).

[crickets]

81. Well, darn. Interesting about bar associations. Thanks for the info. nt

[intheflow]

84. I wonder if we have Putin's prints on file somewhere... n/t

[2abigbman]

59. You betcha

All Federal employees submit to fingerprints as part of a background investigation. Personal with access to TS/SCI undergo even more intensive checks. Not the normal SF-50 but an SF-52 exam. So he'll yes their fingerprints are in the non-criminal background section.

[Ilsa]

90. Hell, I had my prints taken just to work a low level job

at a bank. I didn't even handle money or transactions. Insurance required fingerprinting.

Most states, if not all, require fingerprinting and background checks for nurses, now, or at least registered nurses. Too many ID and license thefts and felonious impersonations.

[msongs]

5. and what will that prove? nt

[leftieNanner]

9. That unauthorized people may have touched

Top Secret documents.

Widens the web.

[InstantGratification]

48. The AUTHORIZED people may tell us more.

A lot depends on having fingerprint samples on file for comparison. Anyone authorized to see classified should already have prints on file, it is part of the background check process.

Authorized people could raise questions if the security cams proved it happened post White House.

Unauthorized people on the docs would prove compromise of classified. In office or after.

Unauthorized plus authorized on the same doc, combined with Mar-A-Lardass security cam footage could prove an attempt to shop classified info. Example: Would anyone find it suspicious if Kushner's and MBS's prints were on nuclear secret documents? Especially in light of the 2 Billion $ payment Kushner got from the Saudi's for ???? Consulting??

That last one would be an EARTHQUAKE if proved. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed in 1953 for selling secrets that included nuclear secrets to the USSR.

[crickets]

65. 👆👆

[Captain Zero]

70. Like if Flynn's Prints showed up on a

Document that was created After HE LEFT GOVERNMENT. You get the idea.
Stone, Patel, et al.

[crickets]

75. Yeppers. Funny how Kash Patel and John Solomon were suddenly added to the NARA list... later.

February letter from tfg to NARA designating his representatives:

June... hmm, wasn't there an FBI visit and a subpoena that came out around that time?
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/24/trump-grants-records-access-to-conservative-favored-journalist-00042343

https://www.emptywheel.net/2022/08/12/john-solomon-and-kash-patel-may-be-implicated-in-the-trump-related-espionage-act-investigation/

On June 24, two days after DOJ sent a subpoena for the surveillance footage, Betsy Woodruff Swan reported that it wasn’t just Kash who had been given privileged access to Trump’s Archives. Solomon had also been made Trump’s representative at the Archives.

That seeming coincidence — that the FBI formally asked for surveillance videos showing who had accessed Trump’s stash of stolen records on the same day that Kash and Solomon were officially added to the list of those who represented Trump’s interests with the Archives — may raise the stakes of Trump’s legal exposure significantly.

That’s because if Trump deliberately allowed people not permitted access to classified documents or his negligence allowed people to remove such documents, it would trigger other parts of the Espionage Act than the one that prohibits someone from stealing classified documents and refusing to give them back (and all are covered by the warrant).

[msfiddlestix]

87. I wonder if that subpoena was complied to, and if it wasn't at the time, I wonder if it was

obtained in this week's search.

an important factoid I hope was produced somehow.

[NickB79]

27. It gives them more people involved to flip by offering them deals to testify

Testify against the big fish, and maybe we knock a few years off your sentence.

[NullTuples]

55. Depending on the content of the documents, that they were aware of them & had likely read them

What if some of them are not nuclear secrets but instead, personal agreements with foreign leaders that violate US law?

[certainot]

67. those not authorized will have to rat out dolt 45 to get lower sentences

and there is no way trump was the one showing those docs to paying customers

[Lovie777]

6. Gloves ...

if they were smart.

[sheshe2]

11. They are really not that smart...

[wnylib]

26. Even you and I know that you don't

touch evidence in an investigation without wearing gloves. I am sure that the FBI agents handling this case know that much, too.

[HuskyOffset]

31. I think they meant Trump & gang touching the docs w/o gloves

At least, that's how I read it.

[wnylib]

32. It didn't look that way when I read it, but it would make more sense.

[tclambert]

64. I'm pretty sure the Russian and Chinese agents who photographed them

all knew to wear gloves.

[leftieNanner]

7. They better start watching the International Airports! nt

[wnylib]

30. And start tailing Trump and family

very closely. They might try to sidestep regular transportation and arrange their own.

Wouldn't it be funny to get pics of Trump caught at our southern border trying to sneak into Mexico illegally?

[leftieNanner]

39. LOL!

He can climb over his wall!

Thinking charter flight since his big plane is not operational.

[wnylib]

46. Yes, a charter flight. Or, since

he does not yet have an indictment, and since things are getting heated up for him, he might go abroad soon and just not return.

[Eyeball_Kid]

62. Oops! Trump has to have his SECRET SERVICE detail!

They can't leave him. He can't tell them to buzz off. He has to be accompanied by FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT at all times. So he can't get driven to an airport without the SS going right with him. And if he tries to ditch them, they have to immediately contact their superior officer, who would put a hold on any airplane scheduled for take-off.

[GregariousGroundhog]

77. About telling the Secret Service to "buzz off" - Trump actually can do that.

Richard Nixon actually waived his secret service protection in 1985, about a decade after leaving office.

[wnylib]

79. As we have learned, many of the SS are compromised

as allies of Trump and not trustworthy.

Also, Trump can still go abroad with SS and not return. If he is in a country that does not have an extradition agreement with the US, there is nothing that the SS or anyone else can do about it.

I want to see Trump caught and tried. But you can be sure that he has some kind of plan set up for himself because he has no intention of ever being held accountable for anything. So, to make him accountable will require anticipating his likely moves and blocking them somehow.

[birdographer]

57. From what I read

He has repaired his jet and is ready to flee.

[LiberalFighter]

60. Someone needs to disable it.

[Maraya1969]

10. This makes me so happy!!!!!

[ffr]

13. Getting TFG's fingerprints would be a good idea then.

[woodsprite]

16. They're the greasy ones. nt

[Ocelot II]

20. And they are very small.

[Traildogbob]

34. Chocolate and cheese berder juice.

[ShazzieB]

66. And ketchup.

Lots and lots of ketchup.

[Autumn]

15. This has made my day. Start sweating mother fuckers.

[jcgoldie]

18. Seems to be a serious blow to...

…the theory that there may be no criminal charges.

[Samrob]

21. Are they insinuating that they were too dumb to wear gloves??? nt

[BadgerMom]

43. Well, many wouldn't wear masks so...

Smart precautions aren’t their thing.

[meadowlander]

51. Handling documents protected by a padlock?

I'm gonna go out a limb and say it's worth the fingerprint powder to find out.

[gibraltar72]

22. People are about to have a "come to Jesus" moment.

[COL Mustard]

44. That wasn't a sonic boom

It was assholes slamming shut all over Florida!!!

[SergeStorms]

23. Does the FBI have Pootie's prints...

on file? Probably. Probably a lot of Russian "clerical workers" at the Embassy too.

[CatWoman]

24. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[gibraltar72]

25. It's the ketchup!

[littlemissmartypants]

28. I thought about this earlier. Glad to see it's going to happen.

I hope no-one believes that if your prints Don't show up, you're not culpable because that's just the kind of stupid thing you know who would claim..

❤

[Joinfortmill]

29. There's gonna be a rush to see who can squeal first.

35. YES!

Great way to continue the investigation.

[Torchlight]

36. FBI's keeping it as clean as possible and dotting every i.

My guess is the FBI realizes the eyes of America are being directed towards them and due to that, will play this one out as starched and pressed and aboveboard as possible. The chains of evidence will be meticulous, the data analyzed with as little human bias as possible, and every word, move and message they make will be double-checked by a field supervisor.

Miss anybody?

49. Ivanka, Beevis, & maybe Butthead

[Deminpenn]

38. This means the staffers who brought the docs to Trump,

packed them up or printed them out are in big trouble.

[R Merm]

41. I wouldn't be surprised if he

Was bringing them out for the guests at his place to look at and touch.

[bucolic_frolic]

45. This is not a search for bamboo

[TygrBright]

52. That's gonna pucker buttholes from one end of the sewer to the other. n/t

[ancianita]

53. Of course. A basic first step. And time consuming.

[brooklynite]

54. What does that tell you?

If Trump handled them, how do you know if it was before or after he left office?

[Mister Ed]

85. Fingerprints other than Trump's might be more interesting to the FBI.

Perhaps fingerprints belonging to persons who had no legitimate access to the docs at any time, before or after Trump left office.

[neoconn]

56. WOWSERS!!

They ain't playing around. Looks like alphabet boys are trying to take this to the goal posts!

I thinks this is the one set of claws that ole Donnie will not be able to squirm out of.

[karin_sj]

58. Wow! That's really something!

You just know that Trump’s chubby little fingerprints won’t be on any of them because he doesn’t like to read. But I’m sure Jared’s will be, along with assorted foes of the US from other countries…

[LiberalFighter]

61. If they find small fingerprints it will be from the orange idiot's fingers.

[FakeNoose]

63. Somebody in West Palm Beach is sweating bullets right about now

[DemocraticPatriot]

68. CAN TRUMP ACTUALLY READ???

I fear the results of this search could be disappointing...



Between Trump and W., they hold the world record for ignoring matters of national security, much less READING them...


However, in this legal instance, I believe that "possession" of these documents is TEN-TENTHS of the law! Doesn't seem to matter worth a damn whether he actually read them, or not... The point is, that he TOOK THEM.

[2naSalit]

69. I don't think I got enough popcorn...

At the store today.

[WarGamer]

78. finger prints mixed with KFC grease...

[Meowmee]

80. They could have worn gloves

[BlueSpot]

82. I wonder how many are doing voluntary overtime n/t

[Sogo]

83. That's the FBI we all know and love!

Straight outta some spy novel.

Love it!
