Affidavit Day Thread 1/

So we had fun with Affidavit Day. Now let's do a Thread of what we learned, and where we now stand, on the largest espionage case in US history, in fact Trump's theft of US secrets is one of largest in world, of all time
#TrumpStoleClassifiedDocuments

Affidavit Day Thread 2/

With previous news, and what broke on Thursday, we know at least the following:

In January 2021, outgoing sitting US President Trump personally stole documents. They were not packed by the General Services Administration. Trump personally packed boxes

Affidavit Day Thread 3/

In January while Trump was still President, his White House Chief Counsel, Patsy Baloney told Trump that Trump does not own government documents. Pat Cipollone also told the National Archives that he is aware these documents must be sent to Archives

Affidavit Day Thread 4/

Trump was asked nicely by National Archives, & then in ever more severe terms, for a year, to return documents. In Jan 2022 Trump returned 15 boxes of government documents. Among non-classified, but government property, DOJ found 184 classified documents

Affidavit Day Thread 5/

That Trump had kept 184 classified documents is a crime. The penalty would be 184 x 5 years = 920 years of prison time JUST on taking these classified documents without authorization (and keeping them)

That is before we consider Top Secret matters, etc

Affidavit Day Thread 6/

Trump could theoretically have claimed he did not know of these documents, but DOJ has found Trump handwritten comments on many of them. It establishes Trump's personal liability on the theft

Among classified docs were secret documents (about half)

Affidavit Day Thread 7/

And among the classified documents were 25 Top Secret documents. The classified materials from January included items about human intelligence (very vulnerable details about actual spies and informants helping United States in foreign countries) and about

Affidavit Day Thread 8/

AND the classified documents includes materials about signals intelligence, where USA leads the world, the spy satellite and various electronic intelligence gathering tech which is incredibly expensive, and info that CAPABILITY is closely guarded

Affidavit Day Thread 9/

We learned that Trump had taken materials out of their 'Top Secret' style jackets and classified documents were intermixed with random papers (in Jan 2021 set of 15 boxes). And that classified info was in various locations in Mar-A-Lago

Affidavit Day Thread 10/

Furthermore we learned that the main storage room where many of these 15 boxes were stored, was unguarded and unlocked. The DOJ demanded that Trump secure and lock that room in May of 2022. Furthermore we found out that DOJ told judge in Affidavit..

Affidavit Day Thread 11/

..DOJ told Judge that they have reason to expect Trump will obstruct justice (in other words they have either evidence, or testimony by an informant(s) that Trump will try to HIDE stolen government property). And that DOJ expects to find EVIDENCE of that

Affidavit Day Thread 12/

When we found out there were 184 classified documents seized, of which 25 are Top Secret, we do not know page count. I estimated 25 Top Secret documents at 19.6 pages ave length = 490 pages + remaining 159 classified docs ave length 7 pages = 1,113 pages

Affidavit Day Thread 13/

So a fair estimate of the number of PAGES of government secret stolen, in those 184 classified documents retrieved in January 2022, is 490 + 1,113 = 1,603 pages. That is under HALF of one box of papers, out of 15 boxes of government property stolen

Affidavit Day Thread 14/

To understand SCALE of this espionage. Trump faces at least 920 years in prison for the half box of classified papers he stole that were returned a year later, in Jan 2022. But in the FBI search of Mar-A-Lago three weeks ago, FBI found ELEVEN BOXES MORE

Affidavit Day Thread 15/

Do not focus on the parking ticket when there was a bank robbery

in January USA recovered one half of one box of Government secrets from Trump

in August FBI found ELEVEN BOXES MORE of classified docs. Up to 44,000 pages more !

Literally 25 TIMES WORSE

Affidavit Day Thread 16/

In the original Search Warrant we got to read a week ago, we found out, that the FBI has an informant (I said to expect more than 1). It made Trump apoplectic, as he found out there is a rat near him when he read that search warrant 3 weeks ago

Affidavit Day Thread 17/

Now in this heavily redacted affidavit, we find out there are a 'significant number' of informants. I say that is more than 5, could be a dozen. All assisting the FBI in some way. And from the filings about releasing the original warrant, we found out

Affidavit Day Thread 18/

..we found out, that at least one of informants is assisting FBI on an UNRELATED crime committed by Trump that is not espionage or related to these documents. So someone has truly 'ratted out' Trump, full informant, helping FBI catch Trump on MORE CRIMES

Affidavit Day Thread 19/

Now in filings supporting this Affidavit, DOJ has told us, they believe Trump will cause HARM to witnesses (in other words, one of the crimes DOJ has evidence against Trump is witness intimidation). They have either proof of this, or witness testimony

Affidavit Day Thread 20/

Trump wants his files back & has gone to court asking for a Special Master (very late for this request) and seems both unaware of what was taken, & simultaneously hysterical that he does not currently have it. My take is, that it was his 'Extortion File'

Affidavit Day Thread 21/

This filing tells us, there is a filter team, and that is only going through files seized from Trump's office, as the only privilege relevant is 'client-attorney' privilege as Trump has no 'executive privilege' currently & all govt files must be returned

Affidavit Day Thread 22/

The Affidavit was written in support of the Mar-A-Lago search warrant. So ALL info in the Affidavit was about time before this August. It of course gets dramatically worse for Trump in August

What happened after the first 15 boxes were recovered?

Affidavit Day Thread 23/

We know now, that the DOJ had asked Trump to return more classified documents they knew Trump held. And Trump attorney, Bobb signed a letter proclaiming no more classified documents existed at Mar-A-Lago. She will be disbarred & rot in prison

Affidavit Day Thread 24/

DOJ told Trump to secure the classified docs in a room to be secured. But in the search of Mar-A-Lago, classified documents were found outside that locked room, also in Trump bedroom and Trump office. This is further criming

Affidavit Day Thread 25/

In the August search of Mar-A-Lago, FBI took 26 boxes of documents

11 of those boxes contained classfied documents. That is from 33,000 pages to 44,000 pages of secrets

I estimated 3,736 documents = 18,680 YEARS of prison time (on top of the 920 years)

Affidavit Day Thread 26/

Donald Trump PERSONALLY packed some of the boxes

His personal handwriting is on some of the documents

He (through his attorney) told he had no more documents when he had 3,700 more

He had removed secret documents from their folders

& was HIDING files

Affidavit Day Thread 27/

The Government had a court-ordered legal search warrant to go look for, find, and recover government secrets. Trump will get prison time measured in CENTURIES just for stealing, a US record, possibly world record in classified document theft

Affidavit Day Thread 28/

That is the DOCUMENT RECOVERY part of this crime. Say worth, give or take a century, 19,500 years of prison time

Trump is INVESTIGATED for ESPIONAGE in this crime. So say the court documents

Espionage is WORSE

Far worse

Far far worse

Affidavit Day Thread 29/

Donald Trump does not read. He only looks at pictures. He had his briefings READ TO HIM by someone, or summarized

Trump stole between 35,000 and 46,000 pages of classified government documents. Of TEXT. The equivalent size is a book case of 160 books!

Affidavit Day Thread 30/

Even for an AVID reader, it would take about a year to two years, to read all those pages ONCE. Trump does not read. He did not steal 3,800 government secret documents to read them. He stole them to SELL them

That makes this a FAR FAR worse crime..

Affidavit Day Thread 31/

Understand 'espionage' as a crime. It is a CAPITAL crime. It is a crime AGAINST THE STATE. It carries the DEATH PENALTY as maximum penalty

The crime is the ATTEMPT not the successful transfer of secrets to an enemy

All you need is the ATTEMPT to sell

Affidavit Day Thread 32/

Donald Trump stole about 1,900 secret US documents, about 40,000 pages of government secrets, to sell

To whom? At least to Russia, Saudi, UAE, Turkey, Egypt, China, Iran, Israel, Philippines & North Korea. That Trump was dealing with (that we know of)

Affidavit Day Thread 33/

Let's ONLY take Saudi Arabia. Did you notice that career financial criminal Steve Mnuchin, the fox that Trump put in charge of the henhouse of the US Treasury - was paid a BILLION dollars by the Saudis? What the actual fuck?
One Thousand Million dollars

Affidavit Day Thread 34/

And the same Saudis paid TWO BILLION dollars to Bone Saw Boy, Jared, the Saudi Ken Doll hubbie of Entitlement Barbie. Two Billion with a B. For what? His creepy looks? That is a BRIBE. That is to pay for spy stuff they got. For secrets

Affidavit Day Thread 35/

This damned golf tournament by the camel fuckers. Bone saw butchers. Fucking mass murderers of Yemenis. These sick bastard Saudis are OPENLY paying Trump bribes, with the golf tournaments. PLURAL. Not just in New Jersey. There is more

Affidavit Day Thread 36/

If Saudis handed 3.5 BILLION dollars quite OPENLY to Trump associates in past year and half - it is a pretty safe bet, SOME of that was to pay for US government secrets Trump stole, and handed to the brutal murdering regime in Ryiadh.

Affidavit Day Thread 37/

BTW Tom Barrack trial next month? Is about Trump's first year extortion, blackmail & bribes relating to Saudis including transfer of NUCLEAR tech to the camel humpers. Jared was intimately involved. Maybe that is why everybody is saying Jared has flipped

Affidavit Day Thread 38/

I want to mention a few others

This sick brutal mass-murderer of civilians, Erik Prince who used to run Blackwater. One of Trump's closest advisors, brother of sick Nazi bastard Betsy DeVos. Erik went to UAE when Trump left office. Why? To sell secrets?

Affidavit Day Thread 39/

One of the many of Giuliani's corrupt drug deals was a money laundering racket for IRAN, through Turkey. And Trumpy was so best-friends-forevery with Erdogan. Yeah. and a Trump Tower. IRAN for fuck's sake! Trump will sell secrets to America's enemies

Affidavit Day Thread 40/

Why did Bill Barr stop the investigation into Egypt money laundering?

And who the FUCK bought the Trump hotel ex US Post office, in a down economy and got Trump a PROFIT? That is a BRIBE. A payment for Trump's espionage

Affidavit Day Thread 41/

Espionage is a FAR worse crime than stealing government documents. And Trump is CAUGHT stealing so much government documents his prison time is about 19,000 YEARS

Espionage using this material is yes FAR WORSE than 19 MILLENIA in prison

Affidavit Day Thread 42/

We do not currently know if Trump engaged in Espionage

We can be sure he did not steal those documents to READ them

And the Department of Justice is INVESTIGATING Trump for espionage

& they have MANY WITNESSES inside Trumpworld who are ratting him out

Affidavit Day Thread 43/

But we WILL find out, when Trump espionage trial starts. It will of course be a closed trial because of the secrets involved but we will see various court documents etc

Now. Let's move to the OTHER boxes taken this August, that were NOT secret documents

Affidavit Day Thread 44/

Donald Trump sent his attorneys to court, to demand he get 'his files' back

FBI took 26 boxes of files from Mar-A-Lago. FBI receipt says 11 of those boxes contained government classified documents (of which 2 boxes were Top Secret docs). That leaves 15

Affidavit Day Thread 45/

The search warrant clearly stated, FBI is allowed to take any documents that are near stolen documents. This makes sense, because clearly Trump was mixing files, documents and had taken classified docs out of their folders.

Affidavit Day Thread 46/

Also DOJ said that they knew of Trump OBSTRUCTION of justice. If Trump tried to hide - as he did try - any stolen documents, that is obstruction of justice

But in this search warrant, FBI can seize ANY documents proving obstruction of justice ... haha!

Affidavit Day Thread 47/

Now who was it, just a few years ago, who on TV blackmailed the sitting US President, with his notorious 'insurance file'? It was the personal attorney to Trump, the honorable Sir Rudibald di Butt-Diali. If Giuliani had an insurance file.. So did Trump

Affidavit Day Thread 48/

When the FBI search of Mar-A-Lago happened, I wrote a long, detailed analysis about Trump's Extortion File. Am not going to repeat that. If you want to read that, it is here:

Affidavit Day Thread 49/

So we have 3 layers

Trump is CAUGHT stealing government secrets, in two sets, January and August 2022

Trump is INVESTIGATED for espionage

And if FBI found any of Trump's Extortion Files, DOJ gets to keep it, and prosecute those crimes & criminals

Affidavit Day Thread 50/

I am sorry, in my haste posting this very long Thread, I mangled some numbers. Let me do this closing with the numbers:

In Jan 2022, Trump caught, having stolen 184 classified documents. I estimated, that is 1,603 pages in total length (half of 1 box)

Affidavit Day Thread 51/

In Aug 2022, Trump caught having stolen another 11 boxes of classified documents. It would be somewhere around 30,000 to 44,000 pages. I estimated that is 3,736 classified documents

Fair estimate total is 3,920 stolen classified docs, about 40,000 pages

Affidavit Day Thread 52/

On the stolen 3,920 classified documents crime alone, Trump faces 19,600 YEARS of prison time

Any 'Top Secret' documents among those adds many millenia on top of that

And that is before his Espionage, and/or the Extortion Files
