Last night after news broke that top secret level documents involving America's nuclear arsenal were part of the trove recovered from Trump's Florida resort on Monday by the FBI, the Trump regime leaked the warrant on contents to friendly news outlets like the WSJ, Fox News, and Breitbart on Friday in order to set up a coordinated defense.
FBI agents who searched former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home Monday removed 11 sets of classified documents, including some marked as top secret and meant to be only available in special government facilities, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation agents took around 20 boxes of items, binders of photos, a handwritten note and the executive grant of clemency for Mr. Trump’s ally Roger Stone, a list of items removed from the property shows. Also included in the list was information about the “President of France,” according to the three-page list. The list is contained in a seven-page document that also includes the warrant to search the premises which was granted by a federal magistrate judge in Florida.
The list includes references to one set of documents marked as “Various classified/TS/SCI documents,” an abbreviation that refers to top-secret/sensitive compartmented information. It also says agents collected four sets of top secret documents, three sets of secret documents, and three sets of confidential documents. The list didn’t provide any more details about the substance of the documents.
Mr. Trump’s lawyers argue that the former president used his authority to declassify the material before he left office. While a president has the power to declassify documents, there are federal regulations that lay out a process for doing so.
“The Biden administration is in obvious damage control after their botched raid where they seized the President’s picture books, a ‘hand written note,’ and declassified documents,” said Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich. “This raid of President Trump’s home was not just unprecedented, but unnecessary.”
And as far as Trump, the GOP, and the right-wing press is concerned, it's all over but Trump's revenge. It was all declassified, they can't do anything to Trump at all, and Democrats will get exterminated at the polls by angry Trump voters for years to come.
Look at how those awful, corrupt federal agents leaked this warrant to the press! Trump certainly had nothing to do with that, and how embarrassing for them that there was nothing in the warrant that could have possibly justified this kind of jackbooted thug treatment! You and your family are next under Biden's fascist rule!
It's all bullshit of course. Trump himself signed the law that made what he did an actual federal crime.
Breitbart has it: "Attachment B to the warrant delineates the three statutes which agents are pursuing evidence under. They are: 18 U.S.C. § § 793, 2071, and 1519."

Yes, Trump is 100% under federal investigation and has been for some time. But as I've said before, America isn't even ready to begin to discuss the price that will have to be paid in order to indict and prosecute Trump.
