Special master orders Trump to provide proof backing up claim about FBI

The special master overseeing the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation has ordered former President Donald Trump's lawyers to back up out-of-court assertions that the FBI may have planted evidence at the property during their search last month.
Judge Raymond Dearie, the court-appointed special master, said in a filing that Trump's team needs to submit a sworn declaration saying if they believe the Justice Department included any items on their "inventory" of materials taken from Mar-a-Lago that were not actually seized during the search.
The declaration must include "a list of any specific items set forth in the Detailed Property Inventory that Plaintiff asserts were not seized from the Premises on August 8, 2022," Dearie wrote in the order.

    1. @Kirk Patrick and the doctor EXACTLY what is required by law. They presented an affidavit detailing probable cause and how they arrived at that conclusion, the listed exactly what they were looking for (materials belonging to the government and the associated container they were in (with other contents co located with said documents)) and exactly where they were going search. They got a warrant from the magistrate judge and they presented the warrant to the occupant if the facility at the time (the secret service).

      If trump thought they had done something illegal he should have appealed the warrant instead of going to a special master and just handing the DOJ more evidence.

    2. @XVI it s so fascinating seeing all these people who claim to be the party of law and order not understanding ANYTHING about the law. How a search warrant works for example. Don’t they teach civics in school anymore?

    3. @Zynathera
      I always tell myself that they’re just lying. First because that’s often the case with these people. Second because I can’t wrap my head around the idea that they could be that stupid.

    1. @Jeremy Backup I do the same.
      The other day, a guy quoted Leviticus 20-13 as justification to kill gay men.
      I replied with a list of all the actions the Old Testament says it is ok to kill people for. One is, striking and cursing your parents.
      I then asked him if he was guilty of anything on the list…. No response.
      These “Christians” do not realize that the New Testament (The Christian part of the Bible) does not mention killing anyone. After all, Christ sacrificed himself to save anyone who believes in him….
      I became an Agnostic because I was tired of the crap I heard in a “Christian” Baptist church.

    2. @COTUS 2 Trump’s lawyers at first said that they were not present. Then a couple of days later we learned that one of Trump’s lawyers signed the receipt…. meaning they were present during the search.
      Trump and his cronies will lie in the media and social media. At the end of the day, what they say in the “court of public opinion” is nothing but a bunch of 🐂💩.
      What really matters is what they say in a court under oath. So far, all I see from Trump, is nothing.

    1. @Carmen Romero Question, do you state what the appraiser number for the banks higher and to the state lower? Because that is the issue with Trump and the appraising scam.

    2. @Deonna Trice this is the United states, princess. People aren’t required to prove that they’re innocent. The government is required to prove that they’re guilty. I guarantee that you can’t PROVE that you didn’t blow straight dogs in an alley in 2014. Should you be prosecuted for it?

    3. dude they stihhlll let bhuyddhennn talk to and around khiddddos even after he’s been seen smehhhlinnng and rhubbbing on many of them. Justice is dead we are in chyuhhhnieeeese land now

  1. How many documents are still missing? If there is truly a chain of custody,a process,records that are kept relating to classified docs then they must know if any are missing already and then they must find out if they were shredded or sold or stolen or flushed or given to wikileaks or who knows what else OR do they not know because records are not kept because the keepers of the secrets are incompetent

  2. That little pause after he says “sending it to Mar-a-loco” is when Homer Simpson’s voice in his head goes “DOH!” and Nelson goes “Ha Ha”.

  3. Here’s an argument he might use: “I have been lying my whole life. Some say I lie as I breathe. Making it impossible for me to lie just because I’m in court is unfair because lies are like oxygen to me.”

    1. TRUMP- no body lies like me!!!!! I lie better than anyone!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    1. @Teri Reed kkkult folk live in an alternative reality, after swallowing so many alternative facts. They are truly gone. I would feel sorry for them, but then I remember that *hate* led them there…

    2. @Just A Hair That’s even worse. You’re telling me she gave her under links access to SAP CSI TOP SECRETS? We know she gave unsecured ComputerTech workers access to SAP CSI TOP SECRETS. We know she gave her Lawyer access to SAP CSI TOP SECRETS. We even know she gave Platte River Networks access to SAP CSI TOP SECRETS.

  4. Dearie: If you have proof the FBI planted documents, this is your opportunity to prove it.
    Trump: (crickets)
    Dearie: If you have proof you declassified documents this is your opportunity to prove it.
    Trump: (crickets)
    Dearie: This is your opportunity…..

    1. If they are dumb enough to do all that, then they are dumb enough to send him their money, which he will squander

  5. The Special Master acting like a real person in the real world asking for REAL proof before just buying into a random statement or conspiracy theory. AND giving the Donald trump team a firm deadline. I love it:-)

  6. For 6 yrs we’ve been listening to his lies with no one calling him on the carpet. Finally, finally we have someone who is doing that. Keep it up.

  7. Always the big question that has not been answered by DJT; “why did you need to have these docs in your possession?”
