In a new interview, Trump says he believes DOJ was really looking for Russiagate material and Hillary Clinton emails during the search.
A lawyer for the far-right Oath Keepers extremist group has been charged with conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the U.S. Capitol, authorities said Thursday.
BREAKING: Trump team in court now opposes this more detailed inventory becoming public! Tells you everything, as govt said it was okay unsealing this. Why doesn't Trump team want this detailed MAL search inventory made public-- because it would be inculpatory, not exculpatory.
At this point the Mole needs to be one of his attorney's I would think...

There is something in there they don't want the public to know about...
Understandable. If I committed crimes that should get me strapped to a cot with an IV dripping lethal chemicals stuck into my arm I sure as hell wouldn't want the public to find out. trump is responsible for treasonous acts that most likely led to someone or many someones dying. At the very least a federal prison should be his address until its time to put him in a rubber bag.
This is the worst season of 24 yet.

I think that was likely the case until he went scorched Earth. You don't accuse the FBI and DOJ of planting evidence and get away with a slap on the wrist.
Plus WJC at best lied under oath...he didn't steal classified documents and keep them in a non-secure location.
I can see the AG, et al. wanting to protect the integrity of the office (even though the office would be better served with the voters knowing that criminals are prosecuted regardless of who they are) and avoiding further polarization by giving Trump a slap and nothing more. Again, I want to be wrong but I'm too cynical to think that I will be. BTW, I'm not trying to compare what Trump did vs. what WJC did, just that I think the outcomes will be similar.

According to the outlet, Trump had mistrusted burn bags, which were the designated means by which the Pentagon and the CIA disposed of top-secret documents.
Per the unnamed former officials that spoke to the Times, Trump didn't believe the material would be destroyed. Instead, he resorted to tearing up documents — including those with his handwriting on them — and tossing them into the toilet.
