It’s a must to be kidding at this level. He actually is simply admitting to the crimes he’s accused of on the web, and he’s nonetheless going to get away with it??
As you’ve little doubt heard by now, after a yr and a half of making an attempt to get Donald Trump to return all of the labeled paperwork he took after shedding the presidency, the feds actually raided Mar-A-Lago… and located TONS of prime secret docs.
We’re speaking critically prime secret stuff involving nationwide protection — paperwork no civilian is allowed to have (and most authorities officers aren’t even allowed to learn)! Any certainly one of us can be jailed for espionage! He additionally lied to the federal government and denied he had them — which is fairly textbook obstruction of justice, to not point out consciousness of guilt.

Thus far his defenses haven’t been sturdy, to say the least. He started by extremely insinuating the FBI planted proof, making a giant deal about how his legal professionals weren’t allowed to be within the room in the course of the search. Properly, he simply blew THAT protection out of the water!
OK, so you could have heard the Division of Justice released a photo Tuesday evening as a part of their newest authorized submitting displaying everybody simply what these prime secret paperwork they discovered appear to be. Kinda exhausting to overlook, proper?
However Trump HILARIOUSLY misunderstood the purpose of the pic!
He began complaining that the feds staged the picture to make it appear to be they discovered the paperwork simply mendacity round on the carpet. We aren’t even joking. That is how his mind works. He posted to his TRUTH Social feed on Wednesday:
“There appears to be confusion as to the ‘image’ the place paperwork had been sloppily thrown on the ground after which launched photographically for the world to see, as if that’s what the FBI discovered after they broke into my residence. Improper! They took them out of cartons and unfold them round on the carpet, making it appear to be a giant ‘discover’ for them. They dropped them, not me – Very deceiving…”
He actually thinks they’re making an attempt to make him appear to be a slob. It’s… it’s a photograph for proof. The proof is laid out for the digicam. Not a single affordable one who noticed this thought the FBI was making an attempt to make it appear to be that’s how they discovered the docs.
And earlier than you doubt that is what Trump is upset about, he doubled down! He went on the John Fredericks Radio Present on Thursday morning and warranted everybody he’s NOT a slob!
“Lots of people assume that while you stroll into my workplace, I’ve confidential paperwork or no matter it could be – all declassified – however I had confidential paperwork unfold out throughout my ground. Like a slob. Like I’m sitting there studying these paperwork all day lengthy or any individual else can be.”
And he received others to go unfold the message, too! His daughter-in-law Lara Trump went on Fox & Buddies to defend him, too!
“He’s a really neat particular person. He would by no means scatter paperwork round on a ground like that.”
And Alina Habba, certainly one of his legal professionals, went on Hannity to argue:
“I do have firsthand data, as you recognize, I’m down there ceaselessly. I’ve by no means seen that. I’ve by no means seen that. That isn’t the best way his workplace seems. Anyone that is aware of President Trump’s workplace – he has visitors ceaselessly there – it’s, uh, only a joke.”
Hahahaha! There’s a joke happening right here, but it surely’s not the one they assume.
Trump mentioned in his social media rant the paperwork had been saved in “cartons” and never on the ground like that. Man, the issue was by no means that the labeled docs had been on the ground — which, once more, we can not reiterate sufficient, NO ONE THOUGHT. It’s that you had them in any respect. In fact they had been in packing containers, everybody will get that. The difficulty is that you simply’re saying you knew they had been in these packing containers as a substitute of the ground. And people packing containers had been at your silly, utterly unsecure Florida resort! That’s the crime half!
Talking of the dearth of safety, did y’all catch when his lawyer mentioned Trump “has visitors ceaselessly” in his workplace? The place the highest secret nationwide protection paperwork had been saved?? Three of which had been present in his desk along with his passport?!?
Sigh.
