It needs to be said, and it needs to be said loudly, the FBI is the 2024 equivalent of the 1984 era Soviet FSB.
The modern FBI is the now police agency of the federal government, with a direct and purposeful mandate to keep the American people under control through a strict surveillance and police state.
Understand and accept this with great seriousness, there are no honorable “rank and file” inside this organization.
Every member of the FBI is a participant in the weaponization of power and government. The members are jackboots recruited from ideological college campuses for exactly the purpose of supporting a Stasi-like police state.
Representative Mike Garcia (R-CA) is straight forward, pretenses are slowly starting to be dropped, but even Garcia still too kind in his wording. WATCH:
Through the past several years, we have discovered how the FBI worked inside Twitter, Facebook and social media to control information, remove content and manipulate opinion on behalf of the U.S. government – all activity political.
We have also learned the FBI took active measures to suppress information about the Hunter Biden laptop and control any negative consequences for the Biden regime – again, political. These are not disputed realities.
The U.S. Dept of Justice and FBI are now political institutions that have abandoned their originating mission in order to become the domestic equivalent of the Soviet-era FSB. Their joint targeting mechanisms have been redesigned to support the interests of corrupt DC politicians, specifically the interests of democrats.
It was in June 2022, when Senator Chuck Grassley sent a letter [pdf HERE] to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray, notifying them of whistleblower allegations from within the FBI that senior leadership in both Main Justice and FBI are involved in a coordinated effort to cover up criminal activity related to Hunter Biden.
The whistleblower allegations, in combination with the documented history of DOJ and FBI misconduct, culminate in Senator Grassley stating:
“If these allegations are true and accurate, the Justice Department and FBI are – and have been – institutionally corrupted to their very core to the point in which the United States Congress and the American people will have no confidence in the equal application of the law. Attorney General Garland and Director Wray, simply put, based on the allegations that I’ve received from numerous whistleblowers, you have systemic and existential problems within your agencies.” (LINK)
Grassley was admitting what has been visible for years.
Senator Grassley is telling the corrupt DOJ-FBI leadership that people in the organizations are outlining the detailed behavior of their corrupt leadership. However, with zero oversight involved, and with Democrats in charge of all committees that would be responsible for such oversight, and with institutional media in alignment and agreement with the corrupt institutional intents of the DOJ/FBI, the frustrating question becomes, “and“?
I mean, who are we kidding?… If Republicans were in charge of the Senate Judiciary, Reform/Oversight, or Intelligence committees, do we really believe that anything would be different? Before responding to that cynicism remind yourself, they were for four years, January 2015 through January 2019, Republicans were in charge of oversight.
It was exactly when Republicans were in charge of Main Justice and FBI oversight that Main Justice and FBI were targeting political candidate Donald Trump.
In July 2021, the DOJ OIG produced an absolutely damning Inspector General investigation of FBI conduct in the rape and sexual assault of U.S. Gymnasts, revealing how FBI agents facilitated Nassar’s sex crimes by taking no action despite numerous witness statements to them.
Worse yet, the FBI never reported the sexual assaults to local law enforcement… and to top it off, the rank and vile FBI agents lied during the investigation of their conduct, and the DOJ under AG Bill Barr, and now under AG Merrick Garland, refused to prosecute the FBI liars.
The entire IG report [Must Read pdf Here] reveals layer-upon-layer of FBI wrongdoing, misconduct and false statements in an effort to cover up their activity when the internal investigation of their conduct began. This report is a total condemnation of the FBI rank and file. It really is quite stunning.
BACKGROUND on FBI – As we discovered in January of 2023, the FBI was fully aware of the terrorist who was planning to shoot the synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, and yet they did nothing.
The FBI knowledge of the shooter, Malik Faisal Akram, who was known as Faisal Akram, was confirmed by The Daily Mail. Akram ranted, prior to his travel to the U.S, that he wished he had died in the 9/11 terror attacks. He was a regular visitor to Pakistan, and reportedly a member of the Tablighi Jamaat group set up to ‘purify’ Islam. To say the U.S. intelligence system knew Faisal Akram would be an understatement.
The FBI was also fully aware of the Boston Marathon bombers, the Tsarnaev brothers, before they executed their plot. The FBI took no action. The Russian police twice warned the FBI that the Tsarnaev brothers were going to carry out a domestic terrorist attack on the USA, the FBI did nothing.
The FBI knew in advance of the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen) and were tipped off by the local sheriff. The FBI knew in advance of the San Bernardino Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI knew in advance of the Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev brothers) tipped off by Russians. The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz). The FBI knew in advance of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan), and the FBI knew in advance of Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa. The FBI took no action.
The case of the first recorded ISIS attack on U.S. soil was in Garland, Texas in 2015.
The FBI not only knew the shooters (Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi) in advance, BUT the FBI ALSO took the shooters to the venue and were standing only a few yards away when Simpson and Soofi opened fire. Yes, you read that correctly – the FBI took the terrorists to the event and then watched it unfold. “An FBI trainer suggested in an interview with “60 Minutes” that, had the attack been bigger, the agency’s numerous ties to the shooter would have led to a congressional investigation.”
Remember, shortly before the 2018 mid-term election, when Ceasar Syoc – a man living in his van – was caught sending “energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction”, or what FBI Director Christopher Wray called “not hoax devices”?
Remember how sketchy everything about that was, including the child-like perpetrator telling a judge later that he was trying to walk back his guilty plea, because he was tricked into signing a confession for a crime he did not create.
Or more recently, the goofball plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer that involved 18 suspects, twelve of them actually working for the FBI as the plot was hatched? And we cannot forget the January 6th. DC protest turned insurrection effort, which is clearly looking like an FBI inspired and coordinated effort; and unlike Syoc, despite the numerous CCTV cameras and resources in the area, they cannot find who placed the pipe-bombs?
Have we forgotten the Atlanta “Olympic Park Bombing”, and the FBI intentionally setting up transparently innocent, Richard Jewel?
What about the FBI failing to investigate the assassination of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Benghazi. Did we forget when Robert Mueller’s FBI waited 19 days after the Benghazi attack before showing up at the compound?…. Journalists from the USA were walking around the compound after 48 hours, but it took the FBI another two weeks before the first investigator arrived…. All evidence long destroyed.
Then, there’s the entirety of the FBI conduct in “Spygate”, the demonstrably evident FBI operation to conduct political surveillance against Donald Trump using their investigative authorities; and the downstream consequences of a massive institutional effort to cover up one of the biggest justice department scandals in the history of our nation. The original effort against Donald Trump used massive resources from the DOJ and FBI. Heck, the coverup operation using the Mueller/Weissmann special counsel used more than 50 investigative FBI agents alone.
And of course, the FBI still had 13 extra agents available to rush to a NASCAR racetrack to investigate a garage door pull-down rope that might have been perceived as a noose; but the serial rape of hundreds of teenage girls, eh, not-so-much effort – even when they are standing in front of the FBI begging for help.
[At this point, I am increasingly convinced by evidence there are elements within the FBI that are enablers involved in sex trafficking, human smuggling, abduction, counterfeiting and money laundering as part of their operational mission.]
The FBI didn’t make a mistake or drop the proverbial ball in the Olympic gymnast case, they intentionally and specifically maintained the sexual exploitation of teenage girls by doing absolutely nothing with the complaints they received. This is not misconduct, this is purposeful.
Then, as if to apply salt to the open wound of severe FBI politicization…. what did the FBI do with the Hunter Biden laptop?
More recently, the FBI executed a search warrant on the home and office of Project Veritas and the founder James O’Keefe. While the raid was taking place, a New York Times reporter called O’Keefe to ask him about his thoughts on getting raided. The same New York Times journalist, a few days later, then begins writing about the confidential attorney-client privileged information illegally retrieved then leaked by the FBI during their raid.
♦My point is this…
What the Federal Security Service (FSB) is to the internal security of the Russian state; so too is the FBI in performing the same function for the U.S. federal government.
The FBI is a U.S. version of the Russian “State Police”; and the FBI is deployed -almost exclusively- to attack domestic enemies of those who control government, while they protect the interests of the U.S. Fourth Branch of Government. That is the clear and accurate domestic prism to contextualize their perceived mission: “domestic violent extremists pose the greatest threat” to their objective.
Put another way, “We The People”, who fight against government abuse and usurpation, are the FBI’s actual and literal enemy.
Let me be very clear with another brutally obvious example. Antifa could not exist as an organization, capable to organize and carry out violent attacks against their targets, without the full support of the FBI. If the FBI wanted to arrest members of Antifa, who are actually conducting violence, they could do it easily – with little effort.
It is the absence of any action by the FBI toward Antifa, that tells us the FBI is enabling that violent extremist behavior to continue. Once you accept that transparent point of truth, then you realize the FBI definition of domestic violent extremism is something else entirely.
The FBI is not a law enforcement or investigative division of the U.S. Department of Justice. The FBI is a political weapon of a larger institution that is now focused almost entirely toward supporting a radical communist agenda to destroy civil society in the United States.
The FBI set up the operation in Michigan to give the illusion that domestic threats were attempting to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer, everything about the events were an FBI construct. The same thing with the January 6th events in Washington DC and the pipe bombs. These are domestic FBI operations. Think about the precarious nature of what this type of activity indicates.
The current mission of the FBI appears to be preserving and protecting institutional power by protecting the administration of Joe Biden.
Anyone who continues to push this insufferable and fraudulent “honorable FBI rank and file talking point”, is, at this point in history, willfully and purposefully operating to deceive the American people on behalf of government interests who are intent on destroying us.
It is not a difference of opinion any longer. Personally, I have lost the ability to sit comfortably or intellectually with anyone who pushes or accepts the ‘mistakes are made’ nonsense. The FBI is not making mistakes, they are doing well what is important to them.
To me, it comes down to a simple matter of accepting what is continually staring us in the face.
Additionally, as we watched the outcome of the Michael Sussmann trial, we should never lose sight of the fact that 40 FBI agents were involved in the Mueller-Weissmann probe to investigate the fraudulent construct created by Hillary Clinton and crew. 40 agents? And, according to the outcome of the Sussmann trial, the FBI knew it was all a ruse.
This is why and how the Fourth Branch of U.S. Government is now the superseding apparatus above all other branches. {GO DEEP} This is why and how Barack Obama, John Brennan and Eric Holder created it, cemented it, and made it impervious to any effort to remove it.
Remember when Henry Cuellar was critical of the Biden administration open border policies that were hurting his Texas district? Less than a month after going public with his criticisms, the FBI raids on his home and office began. The same FBI that raided the home of James O’Keefe while coordinating their search with the New York Times.
The Fourth Branch of Government is corrupt; heck, the J6 committee was defending the corrupt FBI, participating with the corrupt FBI, selling a joint J6 operation that involved the FBI. The corrupt media have aligned with the corrupt FBI, and the justice institutions in/around this legal framework are self-aware and fully autonomous.
As the Twitter files show, the DOJ and FBI through the authority of DHS now have the ability to monitor every single aspect of every life that might seek to challenge or destroy the corrupt system.
In essence, Skynet -the ultimate end game of political surveillance and targeting outlined by Edward Snowden- has been activated. We the People are the enemy of the state.
Jackboots are very real, and they are wearing FBI logos on their shirts.
New York City is out to destroy Donald Trump, and Alvin Bragg’s criminal trial starts today – Monday. We already know the outcome – Trump will receive nothing of a fair trial, and Bragg, with the judges, will find Trump Guilty, and they WILL try to imprison Trump on Riker’s Island and cheer when an inmate kills him. I feel sorry for those who are blinded by their hatred of Trump. This is tearing down the country, and whatever they do to Trump has opened the door for rouge Republican prosecutors to do the same to Democrats. This is the start of the American Civil War, and ironically, the first one began on April 12th, 1861, and here this one will be instigated on April 15th, 2024 – 163 years later or just about 19 waves of 8.6 years.
This week, the nation is entering uncharted territory. On Monday, a former president will be tried in a court of law for the first time in American history. Donald Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records to prevent news of an alleged extramarital affair from becoming public. This means that from here on out, running for president will become a serious personal risk, for the gloves are off, and there is no rule of law or national dignity that will remain standing.
Bragg, who has called Trump a “rich white guy,” is even introducing racism to this event in addition to Bragg being a zealot Democrat. Of course, racism only works in one direction, like a ONE-WAY street. Nobody will ever address that issue. New York is notorious for corruption in the legal system. Lawyers I know privately will say New York practices law “DIFFERENTLY” than any other place in the country.
NYC’s reputation for corruption is indeed historic. The New York Times (NYT) became a major player in the newspaper business when it exposed the corruption in the Democratic Party led by “Boss” Tweed. All the other established newspapers were on the take and opposed the NYT’s expose of Tweed. Just like Trump’s lawyer Cohen, who will be Bragg’s star witness, they were all pointing fingers at each other, and Tweed agreed to cooperate in return for getting out of prison. Tweed had the courts rigged and ballots. After he turned everyone else in, the Government refused to honor the deal and left him in prison. That is how badly this affair tarnished the reputation of Democrats in New York City – the cesspool of political corruption. Nothing has changed.
This is all about desperately trying to prevent Trump from becoming president so they can continue the agenda of wiping out farmers for fictional climate change and starting World War III ASAP; so much for the Land of the Free and Justice for All. We are witnessing the total destruction of the United States, for they are DELIBERATELY dividing the country, so it will be impossible for the United States to remain a single nation that is no longer under God – even he would no longer support this corruption.
This will be the first of four criminal trials seeking to interfere in the 2024 election, which in itself is a crime. However, these trials are all sponsored by the Biden Administration, for he is their perfect president – absent 40% of the time, and all the agencies get to do whatever they want. They have torn the Constitution to shreds, and those who hate Trump are such fools, for this has altered the rule of law and politics forever. Why would anyone run for president now, knowing that the establishment can launch unlimited criminal actions against you? Our computer has projected that the United States will no longer exist post-2032. As with all major empires, they have fallen by their own hand – suicide. This is what we are truly withinessing right here and now.
Alvan Bragg has brought this case against Trump, claiming Trump was falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to adult actress Stormy Daniels in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election. He has charged Trump with 34 counts in this indictment, meaning he has taken a single act and transformed it into 34 crimes. So can you imagine that someone blackmails you, and you give them money, then Bragg prosecutes you for paying the person who violated the law and blackmailed you to start with? This logic seems to be a girl who is raped is criminally charged for enticing the guy to rape her by wearing a short skirt. Even assuming he paid Daniels to save his marriage, Bragg is arguing – no, it was for the election.
The way these prosecutors have abused the law is, let’s say, there is a scam phone call, and it takes only one call to defraud a person of $10,000. For the next person, it took ten phone calls for the same $10,000. Prosecutors and judges have so abused the law that the first crime is only one Wire Fraud since it took just one phone call facing, say, ten years, and the second fraud with ten phone calls is ten crimes for the same $10,000, and that means he can be sentenced to 100 years in prison.
Even Pew Research noted that in fiscal year 2022, only 290 of 71,954 defendants in federal criminal cases—about 0.4%—went to trial and were acquitted; according to their analysis, 1,379 went to trial and were found guilty (1.9%). The entire legal system is based on CONSPIRACY, the crime of tyrants, whereby all they need to do is prove an “agreement.” They cannot win cases without threatening someone to testify against another. If they refuse to testify against another, this uncooperative “rat” goes to prison for 100 years. This is all because Congress has abused the law whereby a conspiracy used to be two years, so they changed it to the same time as the offense. That means, they no longer need to prove you committed a crime, all they need is someone to say they agreed with you to commit the crime. CONSPIRACY must be eliminated from the legal code to secure our liberty. This is why the United States has more people in prison than any country on the face of the Earth.
Now look at this table. The United States has more people in prison than Russia or China. We have 400% more people in prison than Putin, and we are supposed to be a free country, and Russia is an evil autocracy. China has a population of 1,425,283,533, and 1,690,000 people are in prison. That is a conviction rate of 00.1%. Russia has 433,006 people in prison, a population of 147.2 million, and a conviction rate of .002%. Now, the United States has 1,767,200 people in prison against a population of 341,426,991. That is a conviction rate of .005%. In the claimed land of the free and home of the brave of the United States, you have about a 500% greater probability of going to prison than in any other major country. Either Americans are the most dishonest people on the face of the planet, or we have the most CORRUPT legal system on the face of the planet. The answer is obvious – the Rule of Law in the United States no longer exists. This all because of CONSPIRACY and the most corrupt legal system in the world.
Bragg is seeking to imprison Trump with felony counts of falsifying records “to conceal criminal activity, including attempts to violate state and federal election laws.” Our computer correctly forecasted that Trump would win the 2016 election, showing three models projected his win, and the fourth was an even tie. What these charges are all about is total nonsense, as if paying money to this prostitute changed the election.
Trump has denied all wrongdoing, as well as the alleged affair with Daniels. He also maintained that contrary to Bragg’s accusations, his payments were part of a legitimate retainer agreement with his former attorney, Michael Cohen. Cohen pleaded guilty to a campaign finance violation in 2018 and said that he made the payment to Daniels to prevent negative information from surfacing before the election. Of course, he would say that to get less time. That is how the legal system works. They offer one guy less time and tell him what to say.
A Mafia defendant had subpoenaed his phone calls from the prison MCC in New York. By mistake, they gave him the “rat” who would testify against him. The rat was on a phone call with the prosecutor, who asked him to testify against someone else. The rat said he did not know that guy. The prosecutor said no worries, and by the time he finished preparing him, he would know him as his brother. The tapes were presented to his judge, Lewis Kaplan, who rejected them and said that it was a different case even though the prosecutor and the rat were on his case.
This is the same Judge Lewis Kaplan on the Carroll Case Against Trump. He is anything but fair. Over 200 lawyers signed a complaintagainst him for his abuse of an attorney targeting human rights lawyer Steven Donziger after he helped Indigenous peoples win a historic judgment against Chevron in Ecuador to clean up the pollution caused by decades of oil drilling with no environmental controls. Kaplan always protects banks and big corporations.
This is the same Judge Lewis Kaplan who seized my company and installed a receiver to run it, who ended up doing so from the boardroom of Goldman Sachs. He shut down and fired everyone, and it was all in the direction of bankers to shut down our forecasting. The fiction that $1 billion was missing from the bank they claimed they had no idea where the money was, was so outrageous you could not make it up. The bank stole the money. I showed no effort to withdraw the $1 billion. So Judge Kaplan seized my company and installed his receiver to search for money they never showed left the bank. When I said the bank stole the money, the response was; “We believe the bank.”
They put a gag order on me to stop me from helping my clients sue the bank. Only because my clients were backing me and suing the bank were they forced to finally plead guilty. My clients were all the major corporations in Japan. Had they been small private individuals, the courts would have screwed them all. They did everything possible to protect the banks in NYC. When I asked a NY lawyer why no bankers are ever charged, he replied: “You don’t shit where you eat.”
Only because I helped my clients did the bank have to pay back my clients. They have already been trying to put a receiver over all of Trump’s companies, and they will destroy them. This is so outrageous what takes place in New York City, it should be expelled from the United Stastes for they are violating EVERYONE’s right to vote in 2024.
So much for getting a fair trial in New York City.
Whatever these Democrats do to Trump
Republicans will Do to Democrats When it is Their Turn
While this is such an outrageous display of the rule of law that has disgraced the entire country, the judge should reduce the charges to misdemeanors since the tax and campaign finance violations are a real legal stretch of the law, which has never been done in history. The judge will most likely FAIL to tell the jury that they can also reject the law application. Jury nullification of law is entirely within their power, but judges never tell them they have that power – We the People. Congress can pass a law that you must kill your firstborn. A Jury does not have to accept that law and has the power to reject it. Nobody tells the jury they have that right.
The entire world will be watching the trial, and if Trump takes the stand, it will perhaps be the most watched trial in history. An acquittal in New York City is HIGHLY unlikely. They would NEVER put him on trial if there were any chance of his victory. That would seal his presidency, so this is a high-stakes game where the entire world will now get to see that the United States’ idea of “liberty and justice for all” is total BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The computer has been projecting the real risk of civil unrest, and it will be MASSIVE, perhaps far greater than the ’60s. It is understandable when people realize that the Biden Administration is not only imposing the World Economic Forum Agenda and subordinating the United States to the United Nations on health and climate issues but also thrusting the entire world into World War III. We are looking at massive civil unrest following the 2024 election. This usurpation of power will not succeed, and in the process, they are destroying the United States as we have known it.
I reportedearlier in the week that the Department of Justice (DOJ) was seeking charges against the woman who discovered Ashley Biden’s diary that she left in a rehab facility for sex addicts. The woman, Aimee Harris, 41, attempted to sell the diary to Project Veritas, but special agents raided the facility and prevented it from being published. Four years later, with Joe’s re-election campaign suffering, the DOJ has brought charges against Harris and a court has ordered her to spend one month in federal prison, three months on house arrest, and pay $20,000.
Aimee Harris, 41, is a mother of two young children aged 6 and 8. She will now be a registered felon, and this will impact housing and employment opportunities, not to mention that the MSM has dragged her name through the mud. The judge claimed Harris was motivated by greed and conspired to alter the 2020 US Presidential Election. The New York prosecutors believe she got off easy as they originally wanted her to spend closer to a year behind bars – all for a diary that the government initially claimed was fake.
Ashley Biden has not commented on the matter. Some believe she deliberately left the diary behind for someone to find. This case has absolutely nothing to do with Ashley and everything to do with her father, Joe, who does not want the public to know he FORCED HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER TO TAKE SHOWERS WITH HIM. Joe Biden has never been seriously investigated for any of the crimes he has committed; in fact, he was found too senile to stand trial.
President Joe Biden should be forced to register as a sex offender. He is truly a despicable human being, politics aside. It is beyond comprehension how his supporters continue to make excuses for his deviant behavior inside and outside of the office.
The Department of Justice has become a branch of the Democrat’s personal Gestapo. Governments are becoming increasingly tyrannical as we enter this private wave where absolutely no one trusts their leadership. Harris and her family will suffer greatly for exposing the truth. This harsh sentencing was a warning to the public not to interfere in the Biden crime family’s dealings as the courts will prosecute them to the fullest extent of the two-tiered legal system.

Before getting into the weeds, here’s the big picture baseline. All
documents and records created within the executive branch are created for the benefit of the head of the Executive Branch, the president.
There is no entity, organization, assembly, institution, person or individual, above the President of the United States. The president holds absolute power and absolute immunity. Everyone within the executive branch works at the pleasure of the president, and all work products are created for his administration. This is the plenary power of the president.
The entire documents case in Florida rests on the principle that another entity supersedes the president within the executive branch. Some unknown, unnamed bureaucracy can override the president and decide for themselves what would be called a “presidential record” and what would be called “classified information.”
Jack Smith, Norm Eisen (pictured left, red tie) and Andrew Weissmann each argue that some other entity rests atop the president and can make this decision.
Judge Aileen Cannon has not determined which constitutional argument is correct, and has told the parties to create jury instructions both ways. The Lawfare crew of Smith, Eisen and Weissmann are going bananas.
[…] Cannon’s first scenario would allow the jury to make a factual determination about whether a former president deemed a record to be personal or official under the PRA. That is nonsensical – presidents are not allowed to designate official records as personal ones, so there is no factual issue for a jury to resolve.
A different set of laws govern the classification process and the rules for handling highly sensitive classified documents — not the PRA. They include Executive Order 13526. One of the authors of this column (Eisen) helped write that executive order. The 11th Circuit has already established that those rules fully apply to former presidents.
Cannon seems to think that the PRA somehow supersedes the executive order and the rest of federal law pertaining to the handling of classified materials. It does not. On the contrary, the PRA defines “personal records” as “all documentary materials … of a purely private or nonpublic character which do not relate to or have an effect upon the carrying out of the constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties of the President.” That cannot possibly include highly classified battle plans, nuclear secrets and the other official documents at issue in this criminal prosecution.
That rules out Cannon’s first hypothetical. But as Smith points out in his filing, the second alternative is just as bad. She made up a legal standard, asking both sides to assume that Trump could have deemed a record personal by simply not including it with the records transmitted to the National Archives and Records Administration at the end of his term. If this were true, the mere fact that Trump took the documents with him from the White House would inherently turn them into personal records.
Of course, Trump leaped at this interpretation, fashioning proposed jury instructions that would inevitably result in his acquittal. But, as Smith noted, this approach has no basis in the law — or the facts. Even Trump himself does not seem to have considered classified documents personal after he left the White House, as evidenced in an audio recording CNN obtained last year in which Trump, during a conversation at his Bedminster, New Jersey, estate in 2021, discussed documents remaining classified even though he took them with him upon leaving office. Smith hits this point hard, arguing that Trump’s position that records are personal was “invented” when the controversy over the documents began to emerge in February 2022, over a year after Trump left the White House.
