'These are the biggest secrets in the world:'

Latest DOJ legal filing stupefies Donald Trump's Fox friends

The United States Department of Justice filed an extraordinary legal briefing late Tuesday night revealing that it has “multiple sources of evidence” that former President Donald Trump and his confederates "likely" obstructed its investigation into how and why hundreds of documents containing the most sensitive of state secrets were casually stashed at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

"The 36-page filing was the department’s most detailed account yet of its evidence of obstruction of justice, raising concerns that Trump and his attorneys sought to mislead investigators about the sincerity and thoroughness of their effort to identify and return highly sensitive records to the government," reported Politico, which was the first media outlet to publish the filing.

Snip…

“The DOJ is saying the special master is unnecessary because it could actually harm national security interests. Well, here's the thing. When you go back and look at those documents – can we go back and look at those documents on the floor? – keep in mind, according to the filing, the agents found three classified documents in Donald Trump's desks," a stunned Steve Doocy said on Wednesday morning's edition of Fox & Friends.

"What were they doing in the desks?" he wondered. "And when you look at these particular things right here, at least five yellow folders marked 'Top Secret' and another, 'Secret/SCI,' that stands for 'Secret Compartmentalized Information,'" Doocy noted, although he mixed up "Secret" for "Specialized," which is even worse for Trump.

“These are the biggest secrets in the world," Doocy emphasized.

Gee, someplace hot is getting cold.

[underpants]

1. I actually saw that this morning

I was surprised that they even mentioned that 3 of the files were IN HIS DESK.

[Claustrum]

2. Nice. So they are finally doing some real reporting?

Not just trying to find BS excuse for TFG?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

4. Murdoch has decided TFG is a liability. On to the next Fascist Oligarch eXtremist.

[llmart]

7. +1000

That's it in a nutshell.

[PatSeg]

21. Yeah, sounds about right

[Alexander Of Assyria]

24. Murdock has plenty of tRumps to substitute, tRump v2.0 is coming! The man is pure evil.

He seeks equally pure evil.

[NCDem47]

27. Pretty sure DeSantis is the anointed one.

His lane is wiiiiiiiide open.

MAGATs won;t go away. They're just gravitate there.

[mountain grammy]

28. pretty much.. deSantis is likely

but no one is out of the question.

[hibbing]

32. So free airtime for every speech and (Nazi) rally by the next fascist n/t

[Kid Berwyn]

3. Caught (Small) Red Handed

It’s a great day: an enemy of the state is exposed.

[jonstl08]

5. Give it time

Lets see how Hannity and Carlson comment on it. I suspect they will criticize the FBI for taking pictures. Do like how the FBI gave some content on the pics though with a picture of the time magazine cover besides the documents marked top secret that were in his office and not in a secure location

[Kid Berwyn]

11. Hannity and Carlson may be co-conspirators.

Russia TV quotes them, in a sense, liberally.

[gratuitous]

23. Looks like a drug bust photo, doesn't it?

Everyone seen those photos, the biggest bags of narcotics arrayed behind the scariest-looking firearms. This photo is slotted in that genre.

[liberalla]

33. Yes, it does. Good observation.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

35. It should be viewed along with this historical one...

[superpatriotman]

6. Right next to his passport(s)

How are Hillary or Hunter Biden to blame for this?

[Claustrum]

8. I've seen someone talking about a Bill Clinton case against National Archive.

I didn't dig into it because I know it's BS. But yeah, Bill, Hillary, Obama, Hunter....

[Kid Berwyn]

12. Executive Hypocrisy is protected irony.

“Russia. Russia. Russia.”

[RAB910]

9. FAUX "news" has decided that Trump is more a liability than an asset at this point

They will push propaganda attacking Biden and the feds, but clearly, they see a losing hand in continued support of Donald Trump.

[Stuart G]

10. Well said, "....losing hand in continued support of Donald Trump"

[Kid Berwyn]

13. They pivoted back and pivoted forth...

…for a while it looked like they were going for DeSantis, the younger, skinnier NAZI.

Polling must’ve shown them that unless they could delegitimize Garland, they would be suffering irreversible audience decay.

Like Dimdonnie the Demented Traitor, it is my hope to see the entire Murdoch empire exposed for the rot they are.

[localroger]

16. A tiny orange losing hand /nt

[KPN]

29. Murdoch has been mulling this a while now. Faux News is finally

seeing an impact on their viewership and are afraid of a mass exodus if they don’t do this. ……. As a side note, I have to wonder whether Murdoch’s growing reticence about TFG has had any influence on the CNN changes. Perhaps CNN is capitalizing? Perhaps the billionaires who pull the strings have decided Faux News can’t do the job — their work for them —anymore? It just seems so oddly coincidental timing wise.

[RAB910]

30. FAUX News goal is Republican rule of the United States

they will protect almost all republicans from their crimes as long as they stay loyal and don't become a liability to their whole ruling over America mission

[Boxerfan]

14. Not a peep from Faux this AM-10 eastern.

Biden was being mean to them & they are sadded was top o the news. Seriously 10 minutes in & 3 "stories". Nothing on documents zip nada zilch.

[Progressive dog]

15. Sometimes reality awakes even the most loyal

cultist.

[Marcuse]

17. They were all planted.

[KPN]

25. No doubt we'll hear that from the slimeball -- again.

[FakeNoose]

18. Box on the right holds his fake Time Magazine covers that were framed

... and hung up all around the White House.

Top Secret and Eyes Only? I think not.

[PatSeg]

22. Actually the one you can see

was a real Time magazine cover and it wasn't terribly flattering. It showed his 2020 challengers peering through the window and he looks a tad paranoid. Guess he didn't care, as long as his face was on the cover or maybe his warped brain thought it was a positive image.

[lindysalsagal]

19. tfg's lawyer: 'you know what, that's probably something I should turn back over?

From the article:

"You know, we have heard that Donald Trump's lawyers went through all this stuff. How can you go and look at that and not think, 'you know what, that's probably something I should turn back over?" a bewildered Doocy asked rhetorically.

[MissMillie]

20. Fox wouldn't have these problems in they were an actual news organization

instead of a propaganda machine.

So, no, no sympathy. In fact, it's kind of fun to watch them search for some justification for all of this.

[RexLipton]

26. "likely" obstructed its investigation?

All this clown has done is obstruct and he’s done it in plain sight.

[lambchopp59]

31. Remember this Doofus and fiends?

"You have a million things to do"...😂
I almost have an tiny inkling of sympathy for these demon's patience worn to shreds.
Almost.

[Evolve Dammit]

34. The really sad reality is at the end of this, and it may take years but there will be an end,

we have been so damaged and diminished in the eyes of the world. But then, maybe that was the Plan from the Manafort/ Flynn days and Drumpf was just the useful idiot for Vlad. Still say Melania is his handler.

And the entire syndicate family made millions, or in Kushner's case at least 2 billion, all because they could. No Rules, no ethics, no nuttin'. Just pure un-restrained greed and grift, green-lighted and enabled by entire GOP apparatus.
