This is all you need to know about the FBI. This case shows how liars in the FBI will mislead judges in affidavits in order to get warrants where it is the FBI intention to go well beyond the 4th amendment, dragnet everything into a seizure, with the intent to confiscate everything over $5000 by asset forfeiture laws. Under the guise of seizing the frame holding 1400 private safety deposit boxes of a business in Beverly Hills, the FBI then drilled and pryed into all the boxes and then shifted the burden of proof to each owner to prove that the contents, if over value $5000, was earned without dealing in drugs. Total value seized worth about $87 million affecting some 400 customers, because the FBI had reason to believe that the business, Beverly Hills Vault, may have been letting some people use the boxes to store value from laundered money from drug deals. But don't worry. The FBI agents involved in the Beverly Hills Heist look exactly the same as the ones who stormed Mara-Lago, who looked like this: Would anyone who looks this good, normal, upright, and honest (perfect teeth, new white shirt, not one hair out of place, not balding at all, dry cleaned suit and tie) mislead a judge so they can dragnet everything in Trump's home?
What do they call this? Reverse Grifting? Trump's new lawyer demands $3 Million upfront in cash. Gets sidelined in less than 4 weeks. Maybe he gave Trump real legal advice. Newest addition to Trump’s legal team sidelined in Mar-a-Lago search case https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/27/politics/chris-kise-trump-mar-a-lago/index.html
I think they call that an insurance deposit due to bad credit. Glad we're getting closer to a Trump self defense in court
The Special Master Trump demanded isn't going well for him. Trump team accuses special master Dearie of exceeding his authority in late night filing: report https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-raymond-dearie/ In a late-night filing on Wednesday evening, attorneys for Donald Trump pushed back at special master Raymond Dearie's demand that the former president state for the record in court if the Justice Department’s inventory of government documents reclaimed from the Mar-a-Lago search by FBI agents is accurate. According to a report from CNN, the attorneys are now also claiming that Dearie -- who was chosen for the job by Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon at their suggestion -- is going too far and exceeding his authority. As CNN is reporting, "Trump’s team argued the court order appointing Dearie made mention only of a declaration from a government official verifying the Justice Department’s search inventory, and that there was no such reference to a declaration from the Trump side," adding, "The former President’s team also claimed that Dearie is exceeding his authority by asking that the documents from the search be logged in categories more specific than what US District Judge Aileen Cannon, who granted Trump’s request for the review, contemplated in her appointment order." The report goes on to add that Trump's legal representatives are also asking for more time due to the volume of documents Trump was found to possess -- an estimated 11,000. In a letter to Dearie they wrote, “In conversations between Plaintiff’s counsel and the Government regarding a data vendor, the Government mentioned that the 11,000 documents contain closer to 200,000 pages. That estimated volume, with a need to operate under the accelerated timeframes supported by the Government, is the reason why so many of the Government’s selected vendors have declined the potential engagement.” You can read more here.
Seeing that 200,000 pages of documents could not fit in the number of boxes removed from Mar-a-Lago --- not even close. Yeah this is a pretty dumb filing by Trump's lawyers.

Sorry I missed this yesterday. But yeah think this through, you’re a vendor minding your own business doing your job then Trump accuses you of rigging the evidence. It’s a smart move to not get involved with anything Trump.
