Again, johnny, the search warrant has nothing to do with "classified" or "declassified."
That's the part of the "hoopla" that's "nonsense" which YOU keep bringing up, dummy, and the part that is completely irrelevant to the search warrant.
So why was he searched?
""So, for those of us sitting at home trying to figure out what was the switch that flipped and got them to the search warrant? What was it that happened, and I think it's a myriad of things," [said former FBI official Frank] Figliuzzi. "There are human sources because we know from filings there's references repeatedly to witnesses who have been interviewed, so that's great, but I think one of those so-called witnesses was the surveillance camera footage. I think what they saw was, you know, no surprise here, that they couldn't trust Trump. By that I mean by then a couple of locks had been slapped on the storage room door, right? So, everything's supposed to be fine. While we continued to nicely, civilly discuss and negotiate whatever's going to happen."
But the surveillance cameras showed that there were people coming in and out of the rooms and changing out boxes and containers that the boxes were in.
"So, that gets us, Nicolle, into this whole issue of why were they charging falsification and destruction or masking of evidence? Well, that's part of it, I think. It's not just the Trump lawyer who filed a form saying, 'You've got everything. We gave you everything. There's no more.' It's also, I think, the storage room surveillance footage that says — no, darn it, they're not securing the room," he continued. "And by the way, they seem to be moving stuff out. And by the way, they seem to be changing the containers that documents may be in. There's that going on here as well. we can see where they're getting to the statute. The statutory elements may have been met. We can see what may have flipped the switch in part to get to a search warrant."
He also cited the New York Times report that said Trump personally went through the documents in Jan. 2022, after spending months negotiating with the National Archives about whether or not he'd turn over the documents.
"Let's talk about this. Let's look at it himself. Here's what that does. It takes away this defense that, you know, 'The movers did it. I didn't know anything about this. I had no knowledge of this,'" Figliuzzi cited as some excuses Trump might use. "They were told, repeatedly, how significant these documents were for national security. And he knows it. So, again, we're getting into that statute for espionage."
He then explained Trump qualifies for espionage under the law by being able to prove "willfulness, intent, I know it's here. I know it's highly classified. I'm being told i need to return it, and by god, I'm not doing it. And by the way, I'm probably lying to you about whether I've turned it all over."
That, he said, is the statutory element of willfulness and intent that is required under the espionage laws."-Raw Story
