      Place your bets... my bet is that the classified secret documents are too classified to talk about, but they have been retrieved. Charges against Donald Trump, if any, are under discussion and not yet finalized.

          Behind a paywall, but NYT says that Trump was subpoenaed before the raid search.

            40 minutes late and crickets. That does not look good on DOJ.

              They are trying to unseal the search warrant. That's good. Nothing else of substance. Standard righteous boilerplate at the end about how the Justice Dept is above reproach and how dare anybody question those self -sacrificing angels of propriety.

                That was implied by Garland, when he said that before a search warrant is pursued, less intrusive avenues are exhausted.

                      Principled leaders never apologize for or acknowledge unprincipled behavior within their organization. These are advanced theories of principled behavior that are probably beyond most, but you'll just have to trust those who are expert in principle to define the way in which principled people act.

                        Setting aside my suspicion that y'all were prepared to excoriate Garland no matter what he said, what could he have said that would have left you satisfied? What did you want him to say?

                          He made it clear that he wouldn't have said anything if left to his druthers. He wants his court filings to speak for the department. He was behind a microphone under protest and as a principled person, who needed to make public his defense of his unfairly maligned department. I don't think anybody expected him to say anything of substance, and he made clear that his intent is to never say anything of substance going forward, beyond public court filings.

                            All of this that he purports to release to the public - and I won't hold my breath - should have been ready to go the day they did this raid. The backlash was completely predictable and unnecessary. Why...it's almost like they WANT us up in arms and at each other's throats.

                                  "WASHINGTON โ€” The Department of Justice is moving to unseal the search warrant and the itemized receipt of what was taken from former President Trumpโ€™s Mar-a-Lago residence earlier this week, Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland said Thursday, his first public comments since the FBI search took place."

                                  They will release not only the search warrant but also the itemized receipt of what was taken from Mar-a-Lago. To that I say good.

                                    IF the Florida group gives its OK. My prediction is they will say no, and poor Merrick's hands will be tied.

                                    Poor guy. He tried to be open with us. Right? RIGHT?

                                        Trump can also release the itemized receipt of what was taken too, because standard procedure says the FBI would leave behind a copy of the itemized receipt at the searched venue right after they are done executing the search warrant.

                                        Of course, Trump could also have released the warrant and the itemized receipt much earlier; way before AG Garland says the DOJ will move to do so.

                                          Do they leave a receipt of what was left behind, too?
