Wow... What in the hell does it mean by "...intended for use..." ??? There then must be a witness from the inside that specific stated what Trump had planned or wanted to do with those secret files and that would explain why he had them stored there in the first place. wrbtrader
Judge creates path for releasing redacted affidavit from Mar-a-Lago search NPR - https://tinyurl.com/kzb6bc8u A federal magistrate judge has given the Department of Justice one week to provide a redacted copy of the affidavit used to justify the unprecedented FBI search of former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, saying that he believes the affidavit should be partially released. U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart ruled the DOJ must turn over the redacted version by next Thursday at noon. The affidavit will remain sealed during any appeals, he said. Reinhart also unsealed more minor documents containing general information at the hearing. The Justice Department argued during a hearing on Thursday afternoon that redacting the affidavit would leave no information of substance to release, and noted that the search itself and release of the warrant last week had created a volatile situation leading to death threats against FBI agents. Government lawyers also said the investigation is in an early stage. While the Justice Department asked the court to unseal the warrant, citing intense public interest, it has argued strongly against releasing the affidavit, saying doing so could compromise its investigation, other probes, the possibility of future witness cooperation and the safety of agents and individuals named in the affidavit. Multiple media organizations had asked the judge to unseal all documents related to the search, notably the affidavit laying out the reasoning and research. At Thursday's hearing, the organizations said they do not want to release any information that would have a chilling effect on current or future witnesses, endanger people involved in the probe or compromise the investigation. The warrant, released last week, shows that FBI agents retrieved documents labeled classified, secret, top secret and confidential as well potential presidential records. It also reveals that the Justice Department is investigating Trump for violating the Espionage Act and obstructing justice. The genesis of the investigation comes from an unlikely source: the National Archives. The agency, in charge of cataloging and storing important government documents, earlier retrieved 15 boxes of key presidential records that it said Trump was improperly — and possibly illegally — keeping at home.
George Conway exposes three games Trump's lawyers are playing with FBI affidavit https://www.rawstory.com/mar-a-lago-affidavit/ Attorney George Conway revealed the games Donald Trump's lawyers area playing after the FBI search of Mar-A-Lago. Multiple media outlets have asked a judge to unseal the affidavit that justified the search, and Trump and his lawyers have publicly called for that evidence to be revealed -- but Conway told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that it's telling that they haven't joined the request in court. "Chances are good that while they would like to know the names of now two, possibly two people inside calling, you know -- the call coming from inside the house," said host Joe Scarborough. "Maybe there are two people now inside of Mar-A-Lago or inside of Trumpworld informing on him." "Donald Trump will do what Rudy does outside of courthouses and howl and make a scene," Scarborough added. "But go inside the courtroom and stay silent. What Republicans in Washington, D.C. know, and I had friends tell me a couple days ago, it's one of the reasons this IRS conspiracy theory started, is when they figured out how bad this is going to be for Trump. They're trying to change the subject." Conway said Trump's attorneys were essentially juggling three balls in the air. "They're trying to have it three ways," he said. "They're being mendaciously three-faced about it. First of all, they themselves would like to see the affidavit because, you know, Tony Soprano wants to know who is the rat. They want to see who is finking on them. That's one. Two is, they don't want us to see the affidavit because it's bad. It's a long affidavit, and it is going to have a lot of information about a lot of people saying a lot of bad things about the bad things that the president, the former president of the United States, did and how he squirrelled away these documents and refused to give them back when he was repeatedly told he had to give them back and was subpoenaed to return them. Then, third, they want an issue, a B.S. issue, so they can send out the fundraising grift emails to raise money by saying, 'Oh, they're hiding the affidavit from us.'"
“Donald Trump is expected to seek the appointment of a special court official to determine whether materials that the FBI seized from his Florida resort can be used in a criminal investigation,” The Guardian reports. “The motion would be the first formal legal action by the former president after federal agents last week confiscated about 30 boxes of highly-sensitive documents from his Mar-a-Lago resort in connection with an investigation into the unauthorized retention of government secrets.”
Saavy move, sounds like he is starting to get better legal advice. Now if his lawyers can get him to shut-up and stop putting his foot in his mouth.

You mean like Reliable Sources with Brian Stelter? What sources would you consider reliable? On the night of the election i was glued to YouTube, whichever channel was feeding live, or near live results of the election. My source may have been Fox but can't remember. But i was following results late into the night, may have taken a nap, but was watching when, or soon after Wisconsin and Michigan strangely flipped. My monitoring experience matches what these charts show below. Looks like the source of at least one of the charts is from ABC News. I commented about this here, in this thread: Possible Election Fraud in Progress
