  1. Interesting insight: One classified information expert who oversaw such issues across the government said Friday that the scenario laid out was extraordinary and suggested that significant national secrets are at stake. “To my knowledge, this has never become an issue. Most former presidents have played this pretty straight and narrow,” said William Leonard, who headed up the National Archives’ Information Security and Oversight Office. “If it was just the infamous personal note from the North Korean leader to Trump and he refused to part with that, that’s something that obviously could be handled administratively… But I have to think in this instance the information was so sensitive and the potential damage to national security could be so significant that the government felt they had no other choice other than to proceed down this route.”

  2. About these top secret documents having to do with national security found at Mar-a-Lago, remember that Chinese woman found on the property and merely escorted off? I wonder if a background check was done on her.

  3. Since when do presidents take home government documents, particularly top secret documents anyway?

  4. Above all, the redacted affidavit (and an accompanying brief explaining the redactions), which was released on Friday, reveals more evidence of a righteous criminal case related to protecting information vital to our nation’s security.

  5. No. It's due to the mindless Rights propensity for creating conspiracy theories, lies and exaggerations out of every single word they see.

  6. In summary: Especially with information classified at that level, the government doesn’t get to pick and choose to defend the nation’s top secrets based on politics — it doesn’t matter if the person in question is a Democrat or Republican, a former president, a secretary of state or Edward Snowden. These documents belong to the government, and their having been taken away posed a clear risk to our national security.

  8. Judge Bruce Reinhart already concluded, based on seeing the unredacted affidavit used to obtain the search warrant, that there was probable cause to believe three federal crimes had been committed and that evidence of those crimes was at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s Florida club-residence.

  9. It isn't the codes. It's the Top Secret national security documents he lifted from the White House.

  14. I'm thinking Trump lifted those top secret national security documents so that he could remain a secret behind-the-scenrs world player on the world stage, with something to bargain with. It's the kind of thing a high-powered and shifty businessman like him would think of doing.

  18.  @JAG8691  - Glowies? Where's my glow stick? I didn't get one. So, in your tiny little world, all must conform to your little mind and tiny world view, or they are trolls. Uh-huh. Ever think your sort are the trolls with your lies, exaggerations, and conspiracy theories for everything?

  19.  @neondystopian  -- What do you mean every president "takes something"? You mean like a keepsake? The filing shows, among other things, that the documents that may have been illegally mishandled at Mar-a-Lago contained some of America's most sensitive secrets.

  20.  @neondystopian  -- Yes, I noticed the phrasing also, "...it to may have been illegally handled". Could be the writer is simply being cautious. He's not involved in the investigation after all. How about the information below that the investigation was prompted by national defense documents at the Florida home? Why did Trump take such documents with him? Why would he have those?

  21. Say what you will, but it pays to side with intelligence. Certainly when compared to Fox News bimbo exaggerations and liars and the Jim Jones type Trump worshipers. A portion from a news article: We always knew that whatever the information about the Mar-a-Lago search that would be released by a federal court, it would not help Donald Trump. We know that not just because Judge Bruce Reinhart already concluded, based on seeing the unredacted affidavit used to obtain the search warrant, that there was probable cause to believe three federal crimes had been committed and that evidence of those crimes was at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s Florida club-residence.

  22. Has a lot to do with the schizophrenic Right vs. Left. The public simply just doesn't know what to believe. The Right especially contributes to this with their lies and exaggerations and conspiracy theories. I notice, though, CNN is cleaning up its act. That's why I can listen to it, while FOX destroys brain cells still.

  24. Well, blame Trump.

  25. Don't you think there really is sensitive information in the affidavit that should be redacted? Why should the mindless unwashed be allowed to see everything?
