He’s most definitely scared… Perhaps for the very first time.
Business Insider
Former Trump White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said former President Donald Trump's change in messaging following the Mar-a-Lago raid shows he's probably nervous. "I think he's got to be concerned. I don't know how he's not. I mean, the man is under investigation six, seven, eight ways, different investigations. And now people have gone into his home and removed actual evidence. I think the fact that he keeps changing his messaging to me as somebody who worked for him for so long -- that is very telling," Grisham told CNN's Jim Acosta. (snip) She said Trump changed his message several times including alleging the FBI planted evidence and calling for the release of the affidavit. (snip) "This isn't like him to change his message so often. He's much better at PR than that. I know that sounds silly, but usually when he just triples down on anything -- no matter how bonkers or false it is, he gets away with it," Grisham said.
Despite all the whining and excuses by Trump, his lawyers made no attempt to fight the warrant or the search by filing some sort of an injunction... Instead, on the day the warrant was executed, the Secret Service and a Trump lawyer actually facilitated the FBI.
As evidenced by the following, #FPOTUS didn’t know what had and hadn’t been seized by the FBI for at least a week after the fateful knock on his door...
It was then an additional week before Trump’s attorneys filed a motion for a special master to oversee the confiscated documents. Thing is, a special master isn’t going keep documents owned by the federal government from NARA, the FBI, the DOJ, the DNI or any other government agency that might have a need to know what’s in those documents.
The only documents he could hope to get back would be material covered by attorney-client privilege that was generated after he left office at noon on January 20, 2021. All indicators point to this being the material that has Trump’s skivvies in a twist, and I’m guessing it took the moron almost two weeks to realize it was gone...
Attachment B of the warrant is rather specific about what exactly the FBI was authorized to seize...
ATTACHMENT B Property to be seized All physical documents and records constituting evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 793, 2071 , or 1519, including the following: a. Any physical documents with classification markings, along with any containers/boxes (including any other contents) in which such documents are located, as well as any other containers/boxes that are collectively stored or found together with the aforementioned documents and containers/boxes; b. Information, including communications in any form, regarding the retrieval, storage, or transmission of national defense information or classified material; c. Any government and/or Presidential Records created between January 20, 2017, and January 20, 2021; or d. Any evidence of the knowing alteration, destruction, or concealment of any government and/or Presidential Records, or of any documents with classification markings.
It’s my guess that there’s something hugely damning in the paperwork between #FPOTUS and his lawyers about those subpoenaed documents that has Trump terrified like nothing else. Whatever has #FPOTUS freaked the fuck out has to be more damning than being caught red handed in illegal possession of some of our most highly kept state secrets.
What it might be I could only speculate, but I can’t wait to find out what it is.
