Its pretty disturbing: Videos show Trump aides taking suspicious boxes to other golf properties
Travis Gettys
Raw Story, September 12, 2022
Online videos have prompted new calls to search Donald Trump's other properties for classified materials, but investigators may not have enough evidence yet to obtain a warrant.
The FBI searched Mar-a-Lago last month and seized boxes of top-secret documents, and videos that circulated over the weekend raised suspicions that other materials may have been carted to other properties owned by the former president.
However, NBC News correspondent Ken Dilanian told "Morning Joe" that's not enough to trigger a search.
Obviously, we don't know the inner workings of this investigation, but what's required is more than just a theory that some evidence might be at a place," Dilanian said. "They need actual hard evidence and in the case of this Mar-a-Lago search, they had witnesses who were telling them that not only was there classified information there, but that they were misled, they were lied to essentially by the Trump side, and that's all blacked out in the affidavit, but we're aware that it exists, and they used that to go to a judge and say, 'Judge, we need to do a search.'"

PS: Ken Dilanian is the guy who once cleared his stories with CIA before publication, the mop-up man.

If anyone can be counted on to do the right thing its a USSS agent, right?

Better check Bedminster: Video shows Trump boarding plane with boxes after feds asked for docs
Resurfaced video prompts calls for FBI to search Trump's other properties for classified material

Excerpt
Former FBI agent Peter Strzok took to Twitter to note that the footage was recorded on May 9, 2021, three days after the National Archives and Records Administration informed Trump's team that material was missing and may be at Mar-a-Lago.
Strzok, who served as the deputy assistant director of the FBI's Counterintelligence Division, compared pictures of the cardboard boxes in the video to a picture of the boxes released by the Department of Justice during its raid of Mar-A-Lago, suggesting that the type or brand of boxes are similar.
The FBI recovered at least 325 unique classified documents during its search of Mar-A-Lago, including some marked "top secret" and other material so sensitive that the counterintelligence personnel conducting the review required additional clearances before being able to review them.

We really are in a predatory capitalist state. Many a rich turd has said everyone beneath them are lazy good-for-nothings without noticing they themselves are doing nothing but making money from merely having money, the ultimate in lazy.
You may enjoy reading Friendly Fascism by Bertram Gross. The guy wrote it before Reagan and Trickle Down made everyone fungible. Excerpts here:
