The raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago home led to controversy. Many, including those who are not Republican, believed that this was Government overreach and that it was unnecessary for the FBI to follow government orders to raid a former President’s home. Throughout the numerous requests for clarity surrounding the search, the DOJ released a highly redacted affidavit and answered nearly none of the questions people had surrounding the raid. The DOJ has now released more details, and some of the details are raising questions as well, including questions surrounding the empty folders with classified markings.

Also included was a wide assortment of other items, including over 1,000 documents that did not have classified markings, several “Article of Clothing/Gift Item” entries and hundreds of printed news articles. 

The list was released per an order from Florida federal Judge Aileen M. Cannon, as she weighs whether to appoint a “special master” to check the documents for potential executive privilege. 

The document includes little that was unexpected. A different federal judge unsealed a less detailed property receipt last month which showed that the FBI took several boxes of documents from Trump’s property, which included “Various classified/TS/SCI documents.” Trump, meanwhile, has complained publicly that the FBI took documents and items allegedly unrelated to its investigation. 

However, the Friday filing does underscore the massive amount of material the government took from Mar-a-Lago, including many government documents. 

It is also not clear why investigators seized items labeled “Article of Clothing/Gift Item.” In all, the DOJ said it took 18 such items.

Former President Trump has complained about the raid, the condition the riad left his home in, and the overly-wide scope of things taken in the raid. 18 “Article of Clothing/Gift Item” doesn’t appear to be what they were searching for, so it’s not clear why these items were taken. Some are also left wondering about the empty folders, and if the documents that were originally inside of these folders are salvageable, or even in the home at all.

  1.  “empty folders with classified markings” means just that, the whole thing is nothing but a nothing burger from the commie democrat pedophiles that brought us the russia russia russia coup on America.

  2. THIS DEMOCRATIC BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE TRUMP BECAME PRESIDENT.
    SO FAR THEY SEEM TO HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH NUMEROUS CRIMES.
    PERSONALLY I WOULD NOT EVEN WANT TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH THESE CROOKS
    IT MIGHT BE CATCHING.

    1. Even before; remember when they supoenaed Hillary’s HIGHLY ILLEGAL server she had stashed in someone’s basement closet, and phones? She smashed them, and NOT ONE DAMN THING HAPPENED TO HER. (Sorry, but this makes me REALY mad)

  3. So we are supposed to believe anything that comes from the FBI, DOJ or the Biden administration. I think not, never considered myself to be a stupid person not going to start now.

  4. A stack of empty folders? It’s most likely that the person packing up the boxes just threw them in the box without looking. So ask whoever packed up the boxes, no president ever sorted through those boxes until after they were packed and I bet not many presidents ever did sort through them. They have people who would do that for them. Just another fishing trip to see if they could find anything or hoping to see if any incriminating papers related to crossfire hurricane were there. Now they will make up excuses to raid any republican in Congress and doubly so if they supported Trump.

  5. Since nobody was allowed in to observe they had free rein to do whatever they wanted. As such the search should be nullified and all materials returned. Where do we live? China, Russia? This csn’t continue. The People have had enough. Nuff’said.

  6. The socialist / Marxist democrat party is doing a pretty good application of Stalinists type government tyranny. Biden keeps projecting onto republicans false accusations of doing what the democrats are actually doing, but anybody with a functioning brain can see that Biden is either an idiot or a propagandist. Every false accusation against Trump or Trump supporters is right out of the democrat party bible: Rules for Radicals. Biden keeps claiming that Trump supporters want to start a Civil War and fight our military. Really? We veterans wouldn’t do any such thing. Just more left-wing propaganda. If Biden pushes too far, the only people getting shot will be the lying, cheating, subversive politicians we all know so well as they lie on TV: Lots of treasonous democrats, and some republicans too. I hope Biden zips his lips shut before he starts something he would quickly regret.

  7. It has already been reported that the president and first lady do NOT pack their own belongings personally, they are packed and loaded by staff of the white house. I would suspect then that the folders empty or full represent “Plants” by representatives of the Commissar cho bai din administration, for political purposes as comrade cho knew full well he could NOT stand up to a reelection campaign !
