"SNIP......

Former President Trump called on the FBI to return the documents seized from his estate in Mar-a-Lago, claiming some of them to be privileged, attorney-client material, The Hill reports.

There is no indication that agents seized any non-governmental documents.

Daniel Dale: “Responding to FBI search, Trump and allies return to his familiar strategy: flood the zone with nonsense.”

.......SNIP"

1. Link?

Also, if true, Trump once again confirms he cannot be trusted with US intelligence.

[applegrove]

3. I am using my cell phone so it takes a few minutes to get the final op up. N/T

[sakabatou]

25. Ah.

[FarPoint]

2. This bowl of pasta

it will not stick to the wall either and ketchup will not help him...

[Lovie777]

4. Oh please . ...

stick that demand up shithole's arse.

[Brainfodder]

5. LOCK HIM UP!

The jackassery just can't end with this one?

It's like he never heard of files and laser printers?

[TigressDem]

6. How does it feel to WANT, Orange boy?

The warrant receipt lists what was taken.

JUST because you told your attorneys you planned to commit a crime, doesn't make evidence of the crime inadmissible.

[Vinca]

7. And I want Trump in jail. Everybody wants something.

[RKP5637]

9. K&R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[tavernier]

60. He better get used to wanting ice water.

[Tetrachloride]

8. if a box is returned, let the attorney or TFG assert the

attorney client privilege.

then ask what’s in the other boxes.

[Beetwasher.]

10. Wow, The Arrogance!

Holy cow, every time he continues to come up with shit that I just can’t believe, it’s amazing. I’ve never seen or believe someone could be this entitled and stupid!

[SergeStorms]

46. It gives his flying monkeys....

something else to demand and fling poo about today. It's Trump's outrageous request of the day.

[tishaLA]

11. I plan to FOIA them

they're declassified apparently, so I look forward to getting unredacted copies of whatever they took and I plan to specify that I want only documents relating to nuclear weapons and the identities, contact information, and payroll information of covert agents whether foreign or domestic.

[COL Mustard]

14. You might be able to build your own!

Intimidate the 2A gunhumpers in your neighborhood!!!

[orangecrush]

74. "payroll information of covert agents whether foreign or domestic."

You just made my stomach flip.

My God, the damage he has done..

[tanyev]

12. Go on...

[MuseRider]

22. Awww rats

I was going to look for that!

This has to be one of the funniest things I have heard. I may have to eat those words if they do it and the way things always go for him that just might happen but maybe, just maybe he has burned everyone out so much that they will react like that clip.

That he even had the guts to ask for that lets everyone know that even now he knows nothing about what his job was and what their job is.

[RockRaven]

13. His claim of executive privilege is a confession.

I know these docs aren't in fact executive privileged because that's not how executive privilege works, but the very fact that he claims they are is a confession that he was not legally allowed to possess them.

Even if executive privilege worked this way -- which I repeat I know it does not -- the only way those docs could be executive privileged in any circumstance would be if they were docs from his presidency. But docs from his presidency belong with the National Archives and he isn't allowed to have them.

He's loudly proclaiming that he was breaking a law, while not gaining the shield he thinks he is.

[roamer65]

15. No.

Fuck no.

[aeromanKC]

16. Of course, how else will he get Trump Tower Moscow.

[Aviation Pro]

17. Can I get a go fuck yourself?

Go fuck yourself, Bloated Tick.

[FakeNoose]

19. Here's one of my favorites

It's directed at Chump, of course.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

18. You're the "former guy" now, Orange-Glo...

Get used to it.

[C_U_L8R]

20. So sue us.

They are all work product property of the USA.

[malaise]

21. Shut the fuck up

you criminal fool

[dweller]

23. In the spirit of bothsiderism, Biden wants

53. That was great!

Go get 'im, Joe!

65. Look at all the Covid sweat on Pendejo45's face! n/t

[twodogsbarking]

24. They took the ketchup.

[YoshidaYui]

26. They don't belong to you asshole

They Belong to the American people.

[EnergizedLib]

27. Wait, what?

This creature, wants the FBI, to return documents to him, even though there no evidence they took non-government docs?

And this isn’t The Onion?

https://m.

[malaise]

36. He wants them to return the documents they planted

[Captain Zero]

48. He will use this to DELAY A TRIAL in the future

Claiming they took some of his lawyers prep papers. Watch him.

[EnergizedLib]

49. Just like Bone Spurs

Using that excuse to avoid Vietnam.

Of course, there will be no proof they took anything that wasn’t government-related, but the cries on their side will be loud.

[kentuck]

28. People in hell want ice water...

A bullshit con artist.

[agingdem]

29. Toddler (Trump) Rules..

1. If I want it, it's mine

2. If it's in my hand, it's mine

3. If I can take it away from you, it's mine

4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine

5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours

6. If it looks like mine, it's mine

7. If I think it's mine, it's mine

8. Once it's mine, it will never be yours

[BeerBarrelPolka]

31. +1

[YoshidaYui]

61. 9. iF I have to go to prison

its yours!

[RKP5637]

30. Sounds good, you can review them when in Federal prison!!! n/t

[LiberalFighter]

43. There are federal docs he can have when he is in federal prison

Federal prisons have plenty of them.

[RKP5637]

58. All he wants, I bet he'll like them even better!!! Line his cell with them! n/t

[Baitball Blogger]

32. Juicy.

[Orrex]

33. His intent, of course, is to feed the Reichwing narrative

"It was a fishing expedition!"
"They're out to get me!"
"Illegal raid!"
"I'm the real victim!"

And so on.

Obviously it's bullshit, and obviously his KKKultists will suck it down and regurgitate it everywhere.

[brush]

34. Some nerve this crook has. Wants docs back he had...

to commit a crime to smuggle them to Florida. Now watch the megats and winger media start demanding the same thing.

[70sEraVet]

35. I guess he needs them back, because he's already sold them and they need to be delivered

to their new owners.

[Zambero]

37. Roy Cohn trained him well

When confronted with your criminal acts, lash back with unbridled fury. As for the FBI return, I certainly hope they do so soon, only with handcuffs.

[Takket]

38. this is called "setting up for years of appeals"

it is a stalling tactic. he'll take privilege to court with endless appeals and buy himself years of freedom.

[Handler]

39. FBI needs to tell trump to fuck off

[Justice matters.]

40. Keep talking, Crimie Donnie.

The DoJ is listening to every single word you're vomiting.

[BluesRunTheGame]

41. I was sure this was going to be The Onion!

[James48]

42. That is because yesterday

One of the news sources said he hadn’t asked for them back, and that showed his guilt.

[JuJuChen]

44. next up: Trump wants 4 hots and a cot

[littlemissmartypants]

45. Trump this, Trump that, Trump, Trump, Trump...

Who gives a flying fack about him? It's time to stop signal boosting his UNMITIGATED NONSENSE. I was getting so used to the good old DU now it's becoming the Trump Underground again. The more I trash the word, the worse it gets. Can we please give him his own designated group so I can trash it and be done? Good grief, Charlie Brown.

50. Please use the x icon.

The icon next to each OP is faster than creating a new forum.

[littlemissmartypants]

52. I don't understand.

[Justice matters.]

54. Each Original Post in all Forums have an 'x' icon next to its Headline.

https://ibb.co/8c1y8mL

The 'x' icon allows DUers to just make the corresponding OP disappear from their screen.

[littlemissmartypants]

57. Thanks, JM. Unfortunately, I had to change my account settings to find that.

Because I mostly post from my tablet I can barely read the posts when I switch to Classic where the x marks become visible. But thanks for sharing this. ❤️

[DENVERPOPS]

47. Obviously

Trump's attorney's can't Dazzle Them With Brilliance, so they try to Baffle Them With Bullshit........

[kimbutgar]

51. Meaning he can't monetize them anymore if he doesn't t have them

[CaptainTruth]

55. If his attorneys participated in illegally retaining the docs, is there attorney-client privilege?

My understanding is that when an attorney participates in a crime with a client, that eliminates attorney-client privilege.

I'm not an expert, so I could be wrong.

[CaptainTruth]

56. "if it's covered by executive privilege, Trump doesn't own it"

From attorney Mike Dunford on Twitter:

Thing is, if it's covered by executive privilege, Trump doesn't own it. It is by definition a presidential record. So Trump's statement here is effectively a confession.

59. Doubtful that

is true

[Emile]

62. The ones he said he didn't have?

[aggiesal]

63. People in hell want cold water too! ...

Is this the first time someone has told him NO?

What a sniveling baby.

[Sneederbunk]

64. My guess is he is uncertain about what was taken.

The FBI and DOJ now live in his head.

[Mr. Ected]

66. If Trump mouthed off in the woods but no reporter reported his grunts and howls

Would he make a sound?

[Ferrets are Cool]

67. THAT gave me my biggest laugh of the day

[myohmy2]

68. ah, no...

...those are our documents, not his...

...trump can go to hell, which he most likely will...

...

[GreenWave]

69. Just send him fake ones.

Imagine what the Saudis will do to him when they get the wrong top secrets or Putin.

Problem solved.

[Jarqui]

70. Even if Trump could assert executive privilege, and it is legally questionable that he can ...

Executive privilege is not for the benefit of an individual.
It is for the benefit of the Republic.
In other words, it is a governmental privilege not a personal privilege.

So what advantage is it to the Republic that Trump gets to keep these government documents out of the possession of the government? Rhetorical question.

The DoJ & its Attorney General, FBI & its Director and National Security Division and its Chief of the Counterintelligence = the government
want these documents back.
And a Grand Jury and a judge agreed with them
The resulting search warrant delivered what they said would be there with the alleged assistance of an informant.

Joe Biden decides executive privilege claims as he did in the Jan 6th efforts to get documents.
Trump has little to no say.
More BS smoke

[LetMyPeopleVote]

71. This is a sad request by TFG

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

72. I was surprised that the FBI didn't conduct simultaneous raids ...

... on the New Jersey golf club, and his Trump Tower apartment. He's probably got documents everywhere.

[orangecrush]

75. Excellent point

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

73. Hey Donald
