(CNN) EXCLUSIVE: Trump considers allowing federal investigators to search Mar-a-Lago again

Going to turn on that salesman charm and woo them with the omelette station?

https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/19/politics/trump-mar-a-lago-second-search/index.html


Donald Trump’s legal team is weighing whether to allow federal agents to return to the former President’s Florida residence, and potentially conduct a supervised search, to satisfy the Justice Department’s demands that all sensitive government documents are returned, sources tell CNN.

Some in Trump’s inner circle aren’t convinced there are any remaining government documents, after the FBI seized nearly 22,000 pages when they executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago in August.

“The general belief in Trump World is that this is much ado about nothing and the sooner we get past it the better,” said a person close to Trump, adding that the former President has told allies he “wants to move on.”


“He is worn down,” one source close to the former President said. “Getting one thing off his plate” would help him move forward.

But while you are “allowing”, send invites asking them to visit your New York and New Jersey properties.

So many hiding places in so many properties and so many friends - the papers are long gone!

I'll bet that's unfamiliar territory for the former guy. He usually wears down the other parties to his lawsuits, but the Department of Justice has some rather formidable tools at its disposal. All this tells me is that any remaining classified materials have long since been spirited out of Mar-a-Lago.

How about we just go trial for lying to the FBI and unlawful possession of classified documents?

Have we ever seen him actually DO anything? Follow up on the boring management and ...uh ...following up part?

I get it grat but I have to go back to what’s been glaringly obvious every specific day for more than 6 years.

And look anywhere a piece of paper can be hidden. Tear up the carpets, rip the wallpaper off the walls, slash the upholstery on all the furniture, etc.

As for taking something off his plate, I think Donny Two-Scoops might have a problem with that in the end.

It would only show the coffin, not what's in it.

Don't call Ivana a "carcass." She didn't do anything but marry and divorce Donald. And give birth...oh...well, she's dead. She's out of it all. Show a little respect.

But, let's do dig her up.

After seeing that it took 8 military pallbearers for the Queen, I am not so sure of what was seen for Ivana, but let's be sure.

Sorry Trumpo, but there should be enough evidence to convict your sorry ass.

They don't need that shitbag's permission. And, if there are no documents remaining there, it's because he moved them elsewhere, or sold them. Time to search his oter properties, including his ex-wife's grave.
