(5,267 posts)Seems to me that it could be helpful for future indictment and prosecution to have official public clarification of these red herring issues that Trump and his team have thrown out to muddy the waters in their attempt to discredit FBI and DOJ.

The Mar-a-Lago special master on Thursday ordered Donald Trumps lawyers to state in a court filing whether they believe FBI agents lied about documents seized from the former presidents Florida residence in a court-authorized search last month, or claimed to have taken items that were not actually in Trumps possession.
Dearie also told them to say whether they are claiming that any items on the inventory list were not in fact taken from the premises.
Trump has said on social media and in television interviews that the FBI planted items when they searched his Mar-a-Lago residence and private club on Aug. 8. He also claimed to have declassified documents found in that search that were marked classified and were highly sensitive. His lawyers have not made similar assertions in court, however, instead saying they have not reviewed the seized materials and are unable to confirm whether the governments inventory list is accurate.
Dearies order, in essence, demands that Trumps lawyers back up their clients claims. This submission shall be Plaintiffs final opportunity to raise any factual dispute as to the completeness and accuracy of the Detailed Property Inventory, he wrote.
At a hearing Tuesday, Dearie pressed Trumps lawyers to take a position on whether the classified documents were, as Trump has said, declassified, but they demurred.
