Is The Teflon Wearing Out?
Is The Teflon Wearing Out?
Even Teflon eventually gets old, wears out, and is no longer able to keep things from sticking. The former guy has long been referred to as “Teflon Don” because he has lied, cheated, and stolen for the entirety of his adult life, yet has never had to pay a price. In 2016 when he said, “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters,” most of us scoffed…

You know what's the best part of tRUmp getting indicted for espionage?
tRUmp signed a law changing the penalty for mishandling classified docs to 5 years in prison & made it a felony.
The law he signed to punish Hillary will be used against him.

Hoist with his own petard. 🤭

DOJ released photo of redacted classified docs recovered from Trump
Now that’s a photo for the history books. People way smarter than me are freaking out about the classification levels and types shown in that photo. I’m just... it’s one thing to suspect, to know, to be like ‘I didn’t expect any less’
But to see it so starkly? Yeah, that’s different.
Here’s a great quote from the DOJ filing:
That the FBI, in a matter of hours, recovered twice as many docs with classification markings as the “diligent search” that the former President’s counsel and other reps had weeks to perform calls into serious question the representations made in the June 3 certification
The heart of DOJ's response to special master motion has nothing to do w/ special master.
- Former Pres's attys never asserted docs declassifed
- DOJ prohibited from looking at boxes in June
- Search found 100 add'l class. docs
- Docs so sensitive reviewers needed add'l clearance

Conservative media outlet Breitbart is facing criticism for publishing the names of FBI agents involved in the raid of former President Donald Trump's home.
Breitbart published a leaked version of the Mar-a-Lago search warrant, including the names of an FBI special agent and supervisor agent, on Friday. The agents both signed their names on receipts for property seized from Trump's home, including boxes of classified documents that reportedly may have included nuclear secrets. A redacted version of the warrant, which omitted the names of the agents, was officially released hours later.
Commentators soon took to Twitter to accuse Breitbart, an outlet previously managed by former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, of doxxing—the practice of identifying a person or releasing personal information about them, often with the aim of enabling targeted harassment. Some also accused Trump of leaking the warrant to Breitbart in hopes of targeting the agents.
"[U.S. Attorney General Merrick] Garland called Trump out to make warrant public," tweeted digital strategist Alan Rosenblatt. "Trump tried to get one over on Garland, releasing warrant to Breitbart, w/out redacting FBI agents names. That's right, Trump doxxed FBI agents serving a legal search warrant. Once again, Trump is inciting violence."
"It's also worth noting that they published the names of the FBI agents, which serves no purpose other than opening them up to threats and harassment," legal analyst and former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti tweeted. "Breitbart is also confused about what 'SSA' means. It refers to Supervisory Special Agent, a FBI supervisor."
"Trump, via Breitbart, released unredacted copy of property receipt containing names of FBI agents," tweeted attorney Mark S. Zaid. "Based on his history, this can only be interpreted as intentional to cause these Special Agents (one of whom I know) & their families grief & subject them to possible threats."
"From what I can tell, the court unsealed it - but before that could happen, Trump himself leaked it to Breitbart," author Tessa Dare tweeted. "But the version he leaked had the FBI AGENTS' NAMES in it, whereas the official unsealed one kept those redacted to protect them and their families. Asshole."
"[Breitbart] incl the names of the individual FBI agents involved in the search," Elephant Journal tweeted. "The court issued release of the warrant redacts that sensitive information. Team Trump just put a target on the backs of the agents & their families. That is 100% the intent."
"Trump's social media platform sent a push alert this afternoon to an article with an unredacted version of the search warrant that included the names of two FBI agents," tweeted CNN correspondent Donie O'Sullivan. "Those agents' names are now circulating on pro-Trump social media and are being villainized."
"So... when Trump leaked the warrant docs to WSJ, Fox & Breitbart this afternoon, the names of the FBI agents in moved were not redacted," news anchor Ed Greenberger tweeted. "Anyone who thinks Trump cares about America, or Americans, is a damn fool."
The FBI has received an increase in violent threats in the wake of conservative rage over the raid on Trump's home. FBI Director Christopher Wray has denounced the threats, saying on Wednesday "violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter what anybody's upset about."
Less than 24 hours before the Trump search warrant was leaked to Breitbart, an armed Trump supporter who had recently advocated killing FBI agents online was shot dead by police after allegedly attempting to break into the FBI field office in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Newsweek has reached out to Breitbart for comment.

Surprise, surprise! The warrant was to find classified documents, and FBI agents found them! I'm sure Republicans will downplay this, but at this point, they're just transparently fascist. Trump himself signed the law, but they'll argue he shouldn't be held accountable. They'll say he didn't know, it was a mistake, etc.

Unprecedented
The word ‘unprecedented’ has been used more in the past week than at any other time, I do believe. Yes, a search warrant served on a former president was without precedent until last Monday, but then … the entirety of Donald Trump’s ���presidency’ was without precedent!
No other president had been involved in more than 5,000 lawsuits before taking office. No other president had been elected…

"Rumors have long swirled that FBI agents at various field offices had been sympathetic to Trump even as the bureau launched investigations into his campaign and his business dealings. The claims were always attributed to anonymous sources. An email I obtained last year after a separate FOIA lawsuit related to the Jan. 6 Capital riots backs up those assertions," Leopold adds.
“'There’s no good way to say it,' read the email to deputy director Abbate. 'So I’ll just be direct: from my first-hand and second-hand information from conversations since January 6th there is, at best, a sizable percentage of the employee population that felt sympathetic to the group that stormed the Capitol and said it was no different than the BLM protests of last summer,' the person wrote a week after the [Jan. 6] riots."

FBI Agent Furious Over MAL Search Thought Trump Would Return Classified Docs if Just Asked

John Kelly, Donald Trump's ex-chief of staff, had to repeatedly remind the former president that he couldn't share classified information with friends, New York Times journalist Michael Schmidt said.
Schmidt, the author of "Donald Trump v. The United States," told MSNBC on Saturday that Kelly was "terrified" about a lot that had to do with the former president.

"Kelly did not trust that Trump knew how to handle classified information," Schmidt said.
This comes as the Justice Department is probing the former president for possibly mishandling classified information. In August of last year, the FBI raided Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago after a search warrant was issued to search for missing classified documents. The warrant was issued after requests from the National Archives to return the classified and sensitive information went unanswered.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has since assigned a special counsel in the Department of Justice to investigate Trump's handling of classified documents.
Schmidt told MSNBC that Trump would openly talk about confidential information and "Kelly would try to stop Trump from doing things that could damage national security."
Schmidt added: "Here's the chief of staff to the President of the United States concerned that the President of the United States could damage national security. Remember the President of the United States is in charge of protecting the country, but Trump behaved in such an abnormal, immoral way in Kelly's eye that he didn't trust what Trump would do."
Rudy Giuliani, former President Donald Trump's one-time personal lawyer, says Trump once advised him to take secret documents home.
Giuliani said he was at Mar-a-Lago, working on "vetting" some "very rich" people — specifically, going through their tax returns for Trump. The incident occurred right after Trump became president, Giuliani said.
"When I was his lawyer, I mean, there was a period of time I was there like, uh, 10 straight days," Giuliani said on a Sunday episode of the WABC77 radio show, "Uncovering the Truth with Rudy Giuliani & Dr. Maria Ryan."
"I didn't take, listen to this, this is my training on 'top secret:' I didn't take them out of Mar-a-Lago," Giuliani said, describing how he handled the documents.
"He told me, 'Oh, take them home with you,'" Giuliani said of Trump. "I'm not going to take Wilbur Ross' tax returns home with me. I could misplace them!"
"I — you know, I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, knowingly, and I never got caught — but I don't remember ever taking a doc," Giuliani added. He said he would place documents in a small safe at his desk in Mar-a-Lago to be worked on the next day.
Giuliani also said top secret files are "very, very strange the way they're put together" and "often are very small, but they contain a lot of information."
Giuliani and a spokesman for Trump did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
During its raid of Trump's Mar-a-Lago property on August 8, the FBI seized batches of classified documents, including some marked "top secret."
The Department of Justice is now investigating whether Trump broke any of three federal laws — including the Espionage Act — by keeping the documents at his Florida residence. Trump has baselessly claimed the documents found were already declassified — and that he has the power to declassify documents just by thinking about doing so.
