This looks VERY bad. I've attached 4 screenshots indicating DOJ perpetrated a FRAUD on the Court in its warrant application affidavit. These show Trump's attorneys KNOW there was fraud. Where are the Motions to Dismiss Indictment & to Suppress evidence?
2/4 The May 5 warrant app affidavit👇states that Trump Attorney 1 (Corcoran) "was advised" that only the "STORAGE ROOM" contained documents responsive to the subpoena. The affidavit alleges that such advisement obstructed Corcoran's search. BUT on Aug 30, DOJ altered this fact...
3/4 The Aug 30 DOJ filing no longer alleges Corcoran "was advised" to only search the "Storage Room". DOJ backs off to say Corcoran only "represented" SR was "sole repository".
Now look at FN#1 in Trump's Aug 31 reply👇informing Court DOJ "misled the Magistrate" as to June 3...
4/4 Indictment then dialed back June 3 folder handoff from Corcoran to DOJ even further - EXONERATING Trump of Obstruction in par. 56👇as Smith tells Court "Trump confirmed his understanding" Corcoran would search TMALC not just SR.
Where are the Motions to Dismiss & Suppress?🤡
5/5 CONCLUSION:
There can't be any obstruction related to boxes being moved from one room at TMALC to another room at TMALC - prior to search - if Trump "confirmed his understanding" that Corcoran was going to conduct a search of TMALC generally and not just the "STORAGE ROOM".

I present the current NARA faq on classified docs donated ILLEGALLY to private institutions from former government officials OR contractors. NARA says govt will "respect your rights to maintain...collections of donated personal papers."👇
"Former government officials and contractors have been known to retain papers containing classified national security information and eventually donate them to private archives."
NARA doesn't mention criminal referrals👇
3/4 🚨WTF NARA
"If you discover classified materials... immediately remove the records from public review and restrict access to as few staff members as possible...records should be locked in a safe, filing cabinet, or other secure areas."
1/2 The Indictment hoax re staff handing Trump a pile of "papers" in NJ on Iran put my memory back to an article about 45 being an old school hard copy newsPAPER fiend. Staff had stacks on his desk each morning. This Politico article "The Print Reader In Chief" kills the hoax..👇
2/2 If you now go back to the Indictment transcript & tape, it makes PERFECT sense when he says they just brought me this stack papers "This was him. This was Milley." The article👇tells you that's exactly how he used "papers" to push back on his enemies:
3/3 The Bedminster thing was exactly as I told my readers two weeks ago - confirmed by Trump in Fox interview a few days ago. He waved around a stack of newspapers, magazines, and various clippings printed out on paper. THAT'S HIS MO - puts NJ in focus. And another hoax is dead.
1/2"[B]efore passage of the PRA the President's papers were his property after he left office and he was free to consult his papers at will, completely privately. The PRA gives no indication Congress intended to alter the President's historically unfettered access to his papers."
2/2 The 2d Circuit stated it perfectly: a former POTUS is entitled to "unrestricted" "unrestrained" "unfettered" access to his Presidential records "completely privately". That means in his home. The PRA grants him this with no restrictions at all for classified docs or storage.
Folks, take good notice-the holding in COOK v NARA was won by NARA on behalf of former POTUS Bush. NARA argued former POTUS have unrestrained unrestricted unfettered access "completely privately". Did law change? No. Only the President did.
SCOTUS knows.
