Federal prosecutors have begun a grand jury investigation into whether classified White House documents that ended up at former President Donald J. Trump’s Florida home were mishandled, according to two people briefed on the matter.

The intensifying inquiry suggests that the Justice Department is examining the role of Mr. Trump and other officials in his White House in their handling of sensitive materials during the final stages of his administration.

In recent days, the Justice Department has taken a series of steps showing that its investigation has progressed beyond the preliminary stages. Prosecutors issued a subpoena to the National Archives and Records Administration to obtain the boxes of classified documents, according to the two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation.

The authorities have also made interview requests to people who worked in the White House in the final days of Mr. Trump’s presidency, according to one of the people.

3. I'll remain a shade skeptical until they've finished looking, and evaluating, and subpoenaing.

When they’ve taken action and produced a result, I’ll listen closely.

14. But if we wait until DOJ takes action

there will be a lot of blank space on DU.

4. Mueller, SDNY, DOJ need I continue? Ain't never happening.

5. What's to even look in to?

He took them and there they are in Mar A Lago.
(end of story- fucking arrest him)

[lunatica]

7. I'm very curious as to what he did with all of it

I think it requires a further investigation. A thorough one! He’s a damn traitor to his country!

8. Oooh. Perhaps they will consider thinking about maybe planning a committee.

The committee can draw up documents and consult their intentions to move in the direction of drafting a serious letter.

He stole highly classified top secret government documents. He transported them across state lines and hid them in his house. There are photos and videos of the crime.

Don't tell me that no man is above the law. No kid who tossed a half-smoked joint when a cop car went by at 60 mph in South Dallas would get the bowing and scraping and consideration that the orange guy is getting.

[eggplant]

10. They're fixing to get ready to do just that! n/t

13. After the Christmas recess.

9. Eventually they'll decide Trump is a law...

...unto himself. Since the President can declassify any documents he wants to, then he can take them anywhere and give them to whomever he wants. Technically, he CAN'T steal them. They're already his.

[twodogsbarking]

12. He did treat his college grades and tax returns as classified.

Interesting how that works.

[Fresh_Start]

15. I hope they inspect every page for fingerprints to see what unauthorized

people Trump granted access to.

[Comfortably_Numb]

16. They can check for chicken and hamberder grease and a Diet Coke can ring

as indisputable proof that the treasonous mayor of Mar a Lardo took those docs himself.
