These are redacted to all fuck. Main doc has 38 pages, so you fuckers better keep this thread bumped. I will try to dump the other 3 docs as well. I'm not a vip so this may take some time.

Just finished reading over the whole thing. 38 pages, but technically only like 10 pages after the redactions.
The FBI, DOJ and NARA's case is very unconvincing. The president comes off looking very innocent to anybody who actually reads over this. The federal agencies look like clear malicious prosecution, obviously politically motivated.
This is the basic overview:
When Trump left office, he had movers send along boxes of his personal documents to Mar-a -Lago. He didn't personally pack these boxes by the way. NARA demanded to see the boxes and Trump complies without issue. Upon finding documents marked classified, IMMEDIATELY CONTACTS THE DOJ. The DOJ and FBI slobber at the chance to nail Trump on a technicality.
Documents are returned to Trump after insisting that the president has unlimited powers of declassification. NARA refuses to accept that they are declassified, but apparently returns them anyway. NARA then runs to the DOJ and FBI complaining that the storage room at Mar-A-Lago is not a qualified storage facility for secure documents. Conveniently the facility was considered a qualified secure facility during Trump's presidency, but the secure qualification was revoked by the Biden admin after he left office.
The heavily redacted portions likely indicate intensive surveillance of the former president by the intelligence community and by rats in the secret service. One of them tells the DOJ and FBI that they saw a lot of papers strewn around and not secured, which creates the reasonable cause for search warrant.
The whole time the DOJ is fronting that the president does not have such Declassification powers. They never address that issue the whole time, they acknowledge the claim that Trump had such powers, but never agree with the claim. This whole thing looks real bad on DOJ FBI and NARA.
There is also the tidbit that apparently the DOJ/FBI have an ongoing investigation on Trump and associates still to this day.

They are riding a lot on those documents still being classified.
This is the correct take and everyone should read this. Yes, it's political fuckery because they didn't want to accept the president has absolute authority to declassify anything he wishes.

More bla bla, but here formally beings the "Probable Cause". Even potatoes like me know this is the important bit.
