Everyone has been saying that they wanna know what was in that warrant.
What justified the raid on Mar-A-Lago?
Merrick Garland said he's gonna be pushing for it,
Trump swore that he wanted it out there too.
And now we actually have it with a judge unsealing certain documents related to
the search warrant of former President Donald Trump.
The inventory included in it shows the FBI removed 11 sets of
classified information from the Trump property.
Including some marked as top secret and some classified documents that were only
meant to be kept in secure government facilities.
So, there is top secret, there are additional levels
of top secretness that we are all learning about today.
You can see a bit of what was on sealed in this screenshot right here sort of
manifesto of the paperwork that they were able to recover.
If we could bring that up, you'll see a number of different classification levels.
Obviously it's small text it's all available now, by the way.
And you can see a ton of different stuff that they've gotten in
the different levels of top secretnes that were there.
Now, what's interesting about this is,
it was actually sort of leaked in multiple different steps.
Now, what most people see is what eventually came out with, for
instance the names of the agents involved from the FBI redacted.
But that wasn't how many people first saw it,
cuz apparently Donald Trump leaked it to Breitbart who leaked it first.
So that they could claim an exclusive, knowing that literally everyone on
the planet would have access to it 10 minutes later.
But anyway, they did not waste time redacting the names of
the agents which was nice that way.
Their names are out there and
they will now be the target of countless death threats.
But what they also revealed initially was,
that part of the basis of the warrant was what's known as
18USC793, also known as the Espionage Act.
That is part of what this was conducted under,
[SOUND] no big deal except that it very very, very much is.
So, they indicate that the warrant was issued to investigate potential violations
of the Espionage Act, which states, among other things,
that an official entrusted with sensitive or classified information.
Who allows it to be taken away from its secure location through quote, gross
negligence, and I don't think negligence has ever been this gross before.
Or who knows it's been removed from safety and doesn't tell federal officials can be,
wait, what's this?
Fined or imprisoned for up to 10 years.
They also suggested an inquiry to possible improper removal or
destruction of federal records, and obstruction of a federal investigation.
He apparently ran out of all of his get out of obstruction charge free.
You can see in this tweet here,
the breakdown of the different aspects of the law that were being investigated.
Everything from getting rid of documents, destroying documents,
mishandling of documents as well as we said the Espionage Act.
So, there is many other aspects of this that we need to jump into.
But as they say, it's just got real.
>> Yeah, so, I wanna get into Espionage Act and
a couple of the consequences, including death, in a second, okay?
And let me just note even before we get to it that that's not what we're
advocating for.
Okay, so first of all, Breitbart sleek was hilarious.
They accidentally leaked the Espionage Act stuff and
when they realized they bungled it.
First of all, somebody had a great line on Twitter about,
it was like the biggest case of burying the lead ever, right?
And then they tried to retract it 15 minutes later noticing,
of course it angered the big guy that leaked it to them, right?
And they're like, well, I mean, the Espionage Act, I mean, could it, is it,
really, I don't know.
I mean, we just put out the whole thing, oops.
And in terms of the oops on the on the names of the ages, that's not an oops,
they're doing it on purpose and it definitely endangers their lives.
And I think they mean to endanger their lives, we can't know for
sure what's in their heads.
But we they already know as we do that Judge Reinhardt who issued a warrant has
been lied about endlessly.
We'll tell you more about that later during the show and
has received death threats, anti-Semitic death threats and the list goes on.
So, they're like, oops, did we leak the FBI agents and
tell you that it's the tyranny of the government that you've always been looking
forward to with your Second Amendment rights?
Did we do that?
Okay, so, these are the monsters that are on the right wing, now, Espionage Act?
Yes, some parts of it say 20 years to even death.
And so that's crazy talk, obviously in this context, I think it's crazy talk.
About just a month of hard labor, just like one month.
>> Well, >> [CROSSTALK]
>> For Trump that might be
a death sentence.
Okay, [LAUGH] but anyways, no, seriously guys,
I'm just telling you that only so you know how serious that's been object is.
And as Francesca was saying before we got on there, that's why they shouldn't have
never charged reporters and snow den with absurd laws like that.
But this actually is a violation of the Espionage Act,
Trump isn't gonna get anywhere near that kind of a sentence.
But to get convicted of it would be astounding.
There's another really important part of this.
The third charges destruction, alteration, falsification of records and
federal investigations.
So, if you're convicted of that, it does carry a clause.
The person must forfeit quote, any office that they would run for
in the United States and be disqualified from holding office.
Now, there's some question as to whether that would apply to the President
cuz the President is outlining the constitution and
that is an act that might affect the constitution.
But it is definitely possible if a person is convicted of that,
they could be barred for life from ever running for office.
By the way, if you've got the nuclear codes,
when you have no business having the nuclear codes and
God knows what you're gonna do with them, which we'll get to in a second.
You should be barred for life from running for office.
I'm gonna say one more thing before we get to Francesca about the charges because
this is really interesting.
Second one is gathering transmitting or losing defense information.
That sounds like, well, that could again be negligence or something.
No, no, no, but the rest of it is, with intent or
reason to believe that the information is to be used to the injury of
the United States, with intent to injure the United States.
So, that means the FBI thinks that Trump took this
material to use it against America.
>> [CROSSTALK] >> Wow, that requires a lot of evidence.
>> There's no precedent for him doing similar things.
My God, Ukraine, we've done this before.
It's been behind closed doors, it's been out in the open.
You got Jared Kushner up in the mix getting $2 billion from the Saudis.
Who knows what is in these documents?
But of course we remember these documents were subpoenaed
months in the spring from the DOJ to Trump, right?
Saying you need to give everything over.
So, they give some documents, but then there were some left and
then someone very close to Trump.
Imagine this, someone very close to Trump thought that it was more
dangerous to keep these classified documents in the hands of
the caddie at Mar-a-Lago or wherever they're keeping them.
Then actually be the mole, be the rat, and say, look, there's more documents here.
Maybe a rate is necessary or I mean I'm sure that person didn't say it, but
actually just outing the fact that there were more documents.
So honestly these are serious, these are important, and you know what?
It's not good for the far right.
It's not good for
the right that we now know a little bit more because they love the ambiguity.
They wanna capitalize on it.
They wanna say, this is ridiculous.
It's just it's willing they don't know facts,
all feelings and they continue to level threats on the FBI and
anyone else working for the DOJ on national television.
>> Yeah, they've all been implying that all we want is information but they don't.
And stay tuned because we're gonna cap our final thing for
this segment is gonna be Marjorie Greene blowing a massive hole
through the argument that they just want transparency.
But for now though, yeah, with Breitbart,
I mean that's such a dangerous thing to do.
Although in their defense, if you have been a crazy person this week that
wants to strike out at the FBI, where are you supposed to go?
You don't know.
So I guess you go, I know whatever is local, Cincinnati or whatever and
try to kill people there.
Now, they have specific targets, which I think saves a lot of time and effort.
So that was not super irresponsible to do the day after an attempted
lethal attack against the FBI.
But [CROSSTALK] they're serious journalists and we're not.
>> No, according to people following the truth social conversations and
the Telegram conversations, they're like, yeah, we need to.
They'll be the first on the planes and well, dump them into the river
like under Pinochet or their openly talking about this kind of thing.
>> They're already talking very much about murdering the judge and hanging,
should they hang them?
Should they kill them in other ways?
And it's not like right wingers are shy about doing acts of terrorism,
they've been doing it nonstop.
So, and the FBI says they're the number one threat,
I don't know when cops are gonna get it through their heads,
that it's the right wing that's trying to do them harm.
