FBI Seized Documents That Violated Trump's 'Executive Privilege' During Mar-A-Lago Raid

14 August 2022



The  law is pretty clear on the executive order that the president and vice  president have absolute authority."

The Federal Bureau of Investigation seized Trump records that fell  under executive privilege and attorney-client privilege, according to an  exclusive Fox News report that broke on late Saturday. "The  FBI seized boxes containing records covered by attorney-client  privilege and potentially executive privilege during its raid of former  President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, sources familiar with the  investigation told Fox News, ... "Sources  familiar with the investigation told Fox News Saturday that the former president's team was informed that boxes labeled A-14, A-26, A-43, A-13, A-33, and a set of documents—all seen on the final page of the FBI's property receipt —contained information covered by attorney-client privilege," the report added...  Fox News's report continued. "But the former  president is disputing the classification, saying the records have been  declassified." As the report notes, the search warrant application and property manifesto were formally unsealed Friday afternoon. Donald Trump reacted to the latest developments on the unprecedented raid on a former president on Saturday.

Any obvious corruption of their own is apparently acceptable to the Deep State

"The 'White House' just announced that it  had NO KNOWLEDGE of the early morning RAID on Mar-A-Lago, or the break  in of Melania's closets, my safe's, or the secured and locked storage  area where unclassified documents were safely held, and which the FBI  knew of, was shown, and made recommendations that another lock be added  (which they cracked, but not with the safecracker that they brought with  them!)," Trump wrote. "Does ANYBODY really believe that the White House  didn't know about this? WITCH HUNT!"... "Number one, it was all declassified. Number two, they didn't need to 'seize' anything," Trump said on Truth Social. "They could have had it anytime they wanted without playing politics and breaking into Mar-a-Lago. It was in secured storage, with an additional lock put on as per their request..." Earlier on Saturday, Fox News reported that a Trump  attorney certified that there were 'no classified documents' at  Mar-A-Lago after June.

Trump told Just the News on Friday that he had issued a 'standing order'  that classified material that was brought back to Mar-A-Lago under his  presidency was to be considered declassified. "The very fact  that these documents were present at Mar-a-Lago means they couldn't have  been classified," the former president's office stated... "He  had a standing order that documents removed from the Oval Office and  taken into the residence were deemed to be declassified," the statement  added. "The power to classify and declassify documents rests solely with  the President of the United States... "One in 2003 by President Bush, one in 2009 called 13526 by President  Obama. It says 'everybody the government who wants it to classify a  document must follow these the classification procedures except the  president and the vice president. ... "I've talked to archivists, former chiefs of  staff, former staff secretaries, which are the document librarians for  every president — section 3.5 of the executive order I just mentioned,  first by Bush, later by Obama, says 'everybody has to follow this procedure, except the president and the vice president.' The vice president and president may do anything. But the  law is pretty clear on the executive order that the president and vice  president have absolute authority." If the Biden regime's  'fishing expedition' swept up records that fall under executive  privilege, it may very well be the case that the only serious crime that  was committed at Mar-A-Lago was committed by the FBI itself.
