invested several billion to get the island back on its feet the american people who live there are in the dark, we ask why? this is american voices. however anomalies him menendez, mental gymnastics it could be donald trump s favorite sport, case in point the legal fallout of the fbi search of classified documents at his mar-a-lago residents. trump claims those documents were declassified, sean hannity asked trump about his declassification process let s call it this week, the latter made it clear so bonkers you have to hear from trump himself. it doesn t have to be a process as i understand it, there are different people saying different things there doesn t have to be if you are the president of the united states you can declassify by saying that it is declassified even by thinking about it because her sending it to marlar go or to wherever you are sending it. let s just say if you consider these mental gymnastics, he didn t quite stick the landing and that claim prov
down claims by trump s attorney that this was a case about records that belonged to trump saying that the documents were not his to have. for her part, judge kennan is at times inclined to order a review of documents into a a special master. quote, justice department attorneys repeatedly pleaded with cannon not to interrupt their ongoing criminal probe that the search warrant excused on august 8th was clearly valid and authorized to obtain evidence of three significant federal crimes. cannon said she was concerned about a couple of instances in which the investigative team had flagged potentially privileged material that was not screened out during the initial review of records. that s the team that was assigned to prevent such occurrences. judge cannon did say that she would unseal a more detailed list by agents at mar-a-lago meaning that we could learn a whole lot more about that extraordinary search. while we await, it is important to put it in broader context. new york
document comes out, it will change everything that we know about the search of mar-a-lago. now, there are three relevant documents here, the first two, the search warrant and the property received, those are out in the public. we ve seen those. just for the sake of comparison, the search warrant that is three pages. it s mostly a form you fill out it tells us where the fbi wanted to search and the criminal laws the doj is looking at. it the property seized. that s also three pages. most of those entries just say box of documents. but the affidavit, the affidavit is a game-changer. this is a narrative document that the prosecutor has to write out. i have written more of these than i can even count. they re dozens of pages wouldn t at all surprise me if this were 50 to 100 pages. they list probable cause, you have to list specific evidence. you bring it over to the judge. we know the judge in this case reviewed and approved it. just to make an analogy to prove it. back when w
