Trump Criminal Trials

The DOJ previously assured the Court that the placement of classified documents as originally found had been maintained – THEY LIED!
Footnote 3: The Government acknowledges that this is inconsistent with what Government counsel previously understood and represented to the Court. See, e.g., 4/12/24 Hearing Tr. at 65 (Government responding to the Court’s question of whether the boxes were “in their original, intact form as seized” by stating “[t]hey are, with one exception; and that is that the classified documents have been removed and placeholders have been put in the documents”
The DOJ in August 2022 lied to the Courtwhen they claimed the red, blue and yellow sheets shown in the viral photo of the classified documents indicated their classification status.

The FBI admitted they messed with Trump’s documents! The FBI used cover sheets as placeholders for the classified documents.
“After the boxes were brought to WFO, the FBI created an index to correlate the documents with classification markings to codes (e.g., document “bb”) and labeled the classified cover sheets in the boxes with the codes for the seized documents. The FBI also generally replaced the handwritten sheets with classified cover sheets annotated with the index code, but regardless, any handwritten sheets that currently remain in the boxes do not represent additional classified documents—they were just not removed when the classified cover sheets with the index code were added. In many but not all instances, the FBI was able to determine which document with classification markings corresponded to a particular placeholder sheet.”
Hahahaha.... so they could then publish photos THEY took of what the docs looked like?
{shaking head}
Even you can see how truly nutty your idea is?

"Lets turn off the cameras so we can take our own pictures and that will be all the folks get to see as we go about an unprecedented raid on an ex POTUS?"

Seems fair to you, right???

Spin - "~~The FBI admitted they messed with Trump’s documents!~~"

Fact - "The FBI used cover sheets as placeholders for the classified documents."

The new photos just released prove the above and show why many of the stolen documents were not in their original order.

The fact that these docs were re-arranged for a photo is not the get out of gaol card that Trump requested.
