[The Washington Post] Skepticism before a search: Inside the Trump Mar-a-Lago documents investigation



How Justice Department and FBI leaders decided they had to search Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago, and the steps they took to try to minimize legal risk and avoid mistakes. 

By Devlin Barrett, Jacqueline Alemany, Perry Stein, Josh Dawsey, Ann E. Marimow and Carol D. Leonnig


From the article:

Three days later, deliberately dressed down in khakis and polo shirts to try to lower their profile, agents showed up at Mar-a-Lago with the warrant. They spent hours combing Trump's storage room, residence and office, finding 103 classified documents — some in Trump's desk, according to court papers. They also took about 13,000 nonclassified documents as part of the investigation.
Combined with the documents previously recovered from the boxes sent to the Archives and the envelope turned over in June, the former president had kept at least 325 classified items at his private club and resort. Sixty were marked top secret, according to court papers. Some included highly classified information about a foreign country's nuclear capabilities, Iran's missile program and U.S. intelligence-gathering aimed at China, according to people familiar with their contents.

Your Right to Take Photographs and Make Video and Audio Recordings


Taking photographs and videos of things that are plainly visible from public spaces is your constitutional right. That includes federal buildings, transportation facilities, and police and other government officials carrying out their duties. Unfortunately, law enforcement officers often order people to stop taking photographs or video in public places, and sometimes harass, detain or even arrest people who use their cameras or cell phone recording devices in public. This sheet explains your rights.

Trump Inquiry Fueled in Part by Concern Over Intelligence Sources - The New York Times

Surely it has nothing to do with the $2 Billion that Jared received from Saudi Arabia…  ðŸ™„

From the article:
Last year, a top-secret memo sent to every C.I.A. station around the world warned about troubling numbers of informants being captured or killed, a stark reminder of how important human source networks are to the basic functions of the spy agency.
