FBI Affiant for MAL Warrant Caught in One Lie Already

DEVELOPING: The unsealed FBI affidavit contains several oddities:
1. No where does it flat-out say “classified information” was found in Trump’s 15 boxes. On page 2, it refers only to docs “with classification markings,” which raises the specter they were no longer classified

2. It states the docs “appear” to contain National Defense Information. But agents “triaged” the boxes; they would know if they contain NDI or not

3. The affiant claimed “there is probable cause to believe evidence of obstruction will be found at the premises,” yet there’s no “obstruction” header or section spelling out why he believes this

4. He said he doesn’t believe “any spaces” w/in Mar-a-Lago are “currently” authorized for storage of classified info. So they were, but not “currently”?

This analysis appears to be accurate according to a former federal magistrate (name withheld by request) who reviewed both the redacted affidavit and Sperry’s claims.

It’s odd that the FBI would include such an easily debunked claim about appropriately secure storage areas on the premises on their affidavit. It should not have been necessary for their case if we are to believe they are trying to indict Trump for taking classified documents. By including it, they run the risk of tainting the predicate for the search warrant which could make evidence they collected during the raid inadmissible.

The fact that there was a SCIF at Mar a Lago does not mean that there still is a SCIF there. Trump isn’t president. Lots of things go away when you leave office.

For that matter, even if it was a SCIF, surely you’re not saying the closet he was keeping them in was the SCIF, right?

A. Scifs are dismantled when a President leaves office (as there is no longer a need for them.
B. Why were top secret docs in closets and store rooms if there was a SCIF?
C. The affidavit says “I do not believe…”
Not “there is no…”
D. SS upgrades not not mean that a SCIF was installed or upgraded. And $600,000 ain’t gonna build one
