Surveillance footage shows boxes moved at Mar-a-Lago after FBI contacted Trump

The Justice Department also subpoenaed surveillance footage from Mar-a-Lago recorded over a 60-day period, including views from outside the storage room. According to a person briefed on the matter, the footage showed that, after one instance in which Justice Department officials were in contact with Mr. Trump’s team, boxes were moved in and out of the room.

That activity prompted concern among investigators about the handling of the material. It is not clear when precisely the footage was from during the lengthy back-and-forth between Justice Department officials and Mr. Trump’s advisers, or whether the subpoena to Mr. Trump seeking additional documents had already been issued.

In recent months, investigators were in contact with roughly half a dozen of Mr. Trump’s current aides who had knowledge of how the documents were handled, two people briefed on the approaches said. At least one witness provided the investigators with information that led them to want to further press Mr. Trump for material, according to a person familiar with the inquiry.

Sharks are closing in and it couldn't happen to a more deserving Former Guy. I hope they lock his sorry fat ass up for a long time.

There was no accident like "we made a mistake" or "we must have overlooked" or "we didn't realize"

Justice Department calls. Boxes get moved - not returned.

The Trump's lawyer signs a letter in June declaring they got it all ... when the search warrant proves otherwise.

If international intelligence turns up copies of any of those classified docs, and it looks like $ changed hands, Trump might find himself on death row. Wonder if Sean Hannity thinks Trump can campaign from there ...

for the BAR associations to IMMEDIATELY pull all the lawyers licenses to practice law not only in their states, but BAN them for life from ever practicing or consulting on any legal matter forevermore anywhere in the United States.........

Let's see what kind of principles the Legal Bar Association has.................this should be very telling.........
