First Former President to Have Home Raided by FBI

Anyone remember when the sitting President was impeached for asking for investigation against a political opponent ?
 
This reminds me of Russian Collusion. Keep chasing your tails, boys. Y'all will get Orange Man Bad someday.
 
Some of the classified documents recovered by the FBI from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and private club included highly sensitive intelligence regarding Iran and China, according to people familiar with the matter. If shared with others, the people said, such information could expose intelligence-gathering methods that the United States wants to keep hidden from the world.

At least one of the documents seized by the FBI describes Iran’s missile program, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. Other documents described highly sensitive intelligence work aimed at China, they said.

David Laufman, a former senior Justice Department official who handled cases involving mishandling of classified information, said the “exceptional sensitivity” of the material found at Mar-a-Lago will count as an aggravating factor as prosecutors weigh whether to file charges in the case.

“The exceptional sensitivity of these documents, and the reckless exposure of invaluable sources and methods of U.S. intelligence capabilities concerning these foreign adversaries, will certainly influence the Justice Department’s determination of whether to charge Mr. Trump or others with willful retention of national defense information under the Espionage Act,” Laufman said.

Nothing like a corrupt DOJ/FBI leaking info to the public.
 
counter to what our oft defeated friends say,
They are still a thing.
latest on documents


The leather-bound box contained some of the most sensitive records found at Mar-a-Lago: seven documents marked “top secret”, 15 marked “secret”, two marked “confidential”, as well as 45 empty folders with “classfied” banners and 28 folders marked “Return to Staff Secretary/Military Aide”.

......

let me ask,
many of you work in offices in many capacities.
Once that employment stops,
Should a copy machine or laptop be found in your house ...

Or suppose you, like family members of mine, work in competitive tech and unauthorized
documents pertaining to new product is found in your home desk drawer after you have left employment ...

curious what happens next
