TRUMP TO BE ARRESTED??? FBI Claims Trump "OBSTRUCTED" Investigation | America First Ep. 1052TRUMP TO BE ARRESTED??? FBI Claims Trump "OBSTRUCTED" Investigation | America First Ep. 1052
A new statement from the Department of Justice gives us an update on the FBI raid on Mar-A-Lago and suggests that Donald Trump may now be charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly obstructing the investigation into the alleged theft of documents from the White House and transferring them to his private club, The White House, in order to obstruct the investigation. This is exactly the same way the Mueller investigation played out in the early days of the Watergate scandal, and the only difference is that this time, the focus is not on the theft of classified documents, but on whether or not Trump obstructed the investigation by preventing the FBI from getting access to the documents and keeping them from being declassified. We'll be talking all about that tonight on America First with Nicholas J. Fuentes and his co-host, Natalie Barbu, as well as a story about Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and his immigration policies, and why he should not be allowed to vote in the midterms until after the mid-terms. Join us tonight to hear all about it!

00:00:00.000The American people will come first once again!
00:02:10.000We covered this a couple weeks ago when the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago took place.
00:02:16.000And you remember, I think it was three weeks ago at this point, you know, initially everybody thought it was about January 6th.
00:02:24.000And they thought the FBI was raiding Trump because of
00:02:29.000What was going on in the hearings and everything that came out through the January 6th Select Committee.
00:02:36.000And then it turned out that evening we read in a press release from Trump a statement that actually had to do with the National Archives.
00:02:46.000And that they were alleging that Trump had improperly taken documents from the White House and took them to Mar-a-Lago.
00:02:52.000And we heard a little bit about that over the preceding weeks.
00:02:57.000And we heard that Trump and his team were actually in contact with the National Archives and trying to deliver the documents that apparently the FBI made a trip out there back in June.
00:03:08.000And they examined the documents and where they were and installed a lock and all this kind of stuff.
00:03:14.000And now we have a brand new update from the Department of Justice which says that now they're looking into him not for January 6th, although they are actually, but not in connection with this.
00:03:27.000They're maybe not considering a charge with the records, which were improperly taken from the White House, but now they're saying that they're considering charging him for obstruction of justice.
00:03:41.000And they're saying that they tried to get these records.
00:03:45.000Trump did have confidential classified materials at Mar-a-Lago.
00:03:50.000But the criminal action is that Trump took measures to hide the classified documents and prevent the FBI from getting them when they made the trip out back in June.
00:04:04.000And this is how they get you even if you do nothing wrong, even if there's nothing criminal on January 6th, even if there's nothing criminal since January 6th, even if there's nothing criminal...
00:04:18.000They're going to say that he obstructed justice when they tried to get the documents that maybe were not even criminally or improperly transferred from the White House to Mar-a-Lago.
00:04:50.000It's obstruction of justice is what they're going for.
00:04:54.000And when I say that this is what they do, this is what I mean.
00:04:57.000And we talked about this when this all went down back then.
00:05:02.000They're looking to hit Trump, as you know, with anything that will stick.
00:05:07.000They can't get him, potentially, for January 6th, so they just go on a fishing expedition and they go to his house.
00:05:14.000They can't get him on a charge for improperly transferring because the act of transferring from the White House to Mar-a-Lago declassifies the documents.
00:05:35.000They go out there, they find classified materials that they didn't see in June, and they say, well, you were obstructing our investigation.
00:05:44.000And if you recall, this is the exact same way that the Mueller investigation played out five years ago, four years ago.
00:06:18.000And in case you haven't heard about this, this has been going on now for I think a few months.
00:06:25.000And I don't know how any conservative convinces themselves that this is based.
00:06:30.000I remember when this first started happening and I didn't see too many people complaining about it.
00:06:35.000A lot of people said, this is hilarious, this is a great idea.
00:06:39.000You know, the Biden administration is basically undoing everything that Trump did to prevent illegals from coming into America and staying in America.
00:06:51.000And it took him four years to build up this legal regime.
00:06:57.000And I think, what is it, Title 19 or something like that?
00:07:01.000All kinds of different emergency measures and executive orders were put in place because what happened before under the Obama administration is that illegals would show up at the border, surrender themselves
00:07:14.000We would not be able to detain them long enough to process their asylum requests or other legal proceedings, and so they would just be released into the country.
00:07:26.000We would catch them, they would be apprehended at the border, caught, detain them for a short time, and then unable to detain the hundreds of thousands or millions that came in in a short amount of time, we would say, you're free to go, we would release them into America,
00:07:45.000And surprisingly none of them showed back up to court or the detention facility to be deported back to Mexico or wherever.
00:07:59.000And so over the course of four years, Trump built up this legal regime where we were able to catch people and immediately turn them around and send them home.
00:08:09.000Massive crisis at the border, particularly in Texas.
00:08:13.000And Greg Abbott has been trying to come up with ways within his jurisdiction as the governor to shut down the border.
00:08:20.000But there just isn't too much that can be done.
00:08:23.000Immigration is under the jurisdiction of the federal government.
00:08:26.000So what Greg Abbott has been doing this year is taking all the illegals that come in through Texas, rounding them up, putting them in charter buses, and sending them to Washington DC, New York City, and now the third city, Chicago, is where he's starting to send them.
00:08:44.000And a lot of people think this is funny.
00:08:46.000This is the new development as Chicago is the latest city.
00:08:50.000And people think this is tongue-in-cheek.
00:08:54.000Greg Abbott is taking the illegals and he's making them the Democrat mayor's problems.
00:11:37.000Yes 2% so we're closing in on a million let's just keep make sure you smash the follow button excuse me because we're so close 20,000 pretty big pretty big milestone for the site you know we're building back it sucks you know we were on YouTube I got up to 70 some thousand and I was on YouTube for years
00:13:38.000I tell the truth about race, 9-11, the Big H, all of that that went on all those years ago.
00:13:47.000I tell the truth about Sandy Hook and all of it.
00:13:52.000And just simply for saying the truth and being handsome and funny and influential and charming and rich, they've put me on a no-fly list, they've taken my money, investigated me, subpoenaed me, censored me, debanked me, and this is the state of free speech in America.
00:14:41.000They closed my checking account, banned me from Bank of America, and I had another checking account after the Feds froze my money back in January 21.
00:15:34.000And so I just went to the bank today, and I picked up my balance, my checking account balance, and I had to open another bank.
00:15:42.000So this is an ongoing thing, and so understand, this is just a brief aside, and then we'll roll on with the show, but I just want people to understand, because this is my day-to-day.
00:16:23.000The government, the DHS, put me on the do not board list for a year and a half, and then when I got off of that, Delta and American Airlines banned me from flying on their airplanes, on their airline.
00:16:36.000And then the same thing with the Feds.
00:16:38.000The Feds froze my account balance at Bank of America, and then while that was going on, Bank of America banned me from the bank.
00:16:47.000And I have many businesses and I have, of course, my personal stuff.
00:16:53.000And so I had a business account at U.S.
00:16:55.000Bank and they closed it within months.
00:16:58.000And I tried to open a business account at Chase.
00:17:00.000They wouldn't even let me open an account at Chase Bank.
00:17:03.000And these are like the biggest banks that there are.
00:17:07.000And then I open a personal checking account at a regional bank.
00:17:12.000And so and then on top of that and then there's the other level of I'm on the match list.
00:17:18.000The match list is a Visa and MasterCard blacklist.
00:17:24.000This is like the do not fly list or the no fly list.
00:17:29.000The match list is a secretive list maintained by the credit card companies, and what it is is they could put you on there for a variety of reasons, but you're banned from processing credit cards for five years.
00:17:43.000I am banned, me, from processing credit cards for five years.
00:17:47.000That's not the banks, that's the credit cards.
00:17:51.000So even if there was a bank that wanted to do business with me, Visa and MasterCard wouldn't allow them.
00:18:25.000This is what it looks like to be the most cancelled man in America.
00:18:28.000People, and I'm trying to be like precise about it here because people imagine like, oh he's like banned from PayPal and Twitter.
00:18:36.000It's like no, I am quite literally, it's like if you were to look at a control panel of being able to access banking and commercial services, it's all red, okay?
00:19:21.000And then I went to another regional bank in Florida when I was down there in Miami.
00:19:26.000This is one of the business things I was doing because I'm going to move to Florida and I'm getting everything ready for that.
00:19:32.000And I went down to Florida to meet with a banker who's like one of the top guys at a local bank whose meeting was set up by a friend of mine.
00:19:43.000And I said, hey listen, I need to open a checking account.
00:19:50.000I fly to the other side of the country to meet with the head of a small bank, and I say, so listen man, I got hundreds of thousands of dollars, I need to put in a checking account, can you make me a checking account at your bank?
00:24:18.000And the reason why I say that is because Trump comes in in 2016 and is truly different.
00:24:23.000He gets out there and says, we're going to build a wall between America and Mexico, and then we're going to round up these illegals and send them back.
00:24:30.000And we're going to ban Muslims from coming here.
00:24:34.000And we're going to build roads and bridges and highways and airports and...
00:24:38.000And we're gonna make Mexico pay for the wall, and we're gonna beat China, and we're gonna end the wars and be friends with Russia.
00:24:44.000And I'm like, yeah, sign me up, I'll die for this man.
00:26:03.000Lest we forget, he sat in his little wheelchair in front of the Israel flag, a country which did 9-11 and blew up our ship in 1967 and caused all these wars.
00:26:15.000He sat in front of this flag and said that Gab, which is a great website, is anti-Semitic.
00:26:22.000And it's like, you know, what does that even mean?
00:26:25.000Like, you're sitting in front of an Israel flag?
00:28:24.000So we're talking about at the minimum 5 million illegal immigrants have gotten through, either apprehended and released or were never apprehended and are now residents in America.
00:29:26.000And anyway, so you've got a Republican governor in Texas, and this is the majority of our southern border is in Texas, or a large, I don't think it's a majority, but a large swath
00:29:38.000And we have a Republican state legislature in Texas and a Republican governor in Texas.
00:29:47.000And the Republican governor, Greg Abbott, is essentially overseeing this.
00:29:51.000Now granted, immigration is an issue which is under the jurisdiction of the federal government.
00:29:57.000And it's the federal government which is unwinding the Trump-era immigration policies that suspended catch-and-release and stopped the flow of illegals.
00:30:07.000But that being said, Greg Abbott is still the governor of Texas, and still wields the power of the National Guard, and Greg Abbott still has state law enforcement, and the governor still has a lot of menu items that he can use to abate this crisis.
00:30:32.000He comes up with this clever publicity stunt and in this year Greg Abbott is rounding up some of the illegals, putting them on charter buses that the taxpayers pay for, and then sending the buses to Washington DC, New York, and as of this month now Chicago.
00:32:42.000It says, quote, Two buses carrying migrants from Texas arrived in Chicago on Wednesday night.
00:32:48.000The buses arrived at Chicago's Union Station at around 7.30 p.m., carrying migrants who crossed the southern border illegally.
00:32:56.000An estimated 80 to 100 people were on the buses, which include 20 to 30 small children.
00:33:02.000Many of the migrants said that they're from Venezuela.
00:33:06.000Chicago is the latest city where migrants have been bused to from Texas, following New York City and Washington D.C., all of which have Democrat mayors.
00:33:15.000Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott said in a statement that he looks forward to seeing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot welcome the migrants since Chicago is a sanctuary city.
00:33:28.000He said quote President Biden's inaction at our southern border continues putting the lives of Texans and Americans at risk and is overwhelming our communities.
00:33:37.000To continue providing much-needed relief to our small overrun border towns, Chicago will join fellow sanctuary cities Washington DC and New York as an additional drop-off location.
00:33:49.000Mayor Lightfoot loves to tout the responsibility of her city to welcome all regardless of legal status, and I look forward to seeing this responsibility in action as these migrants receive resources from a sanctuary city with the capacity to serve them.
00:34:05.000And, like, now, it's not a lot of immigrants, okay?
00:34:08.000A hundred people is not a lot of people.
00:34:12.000There's 10 million people in the Chicago metro area, and we're talking about a hundred people.
00:34:19.000Nevertheless, this is a publicity stunt, and it's lame, and it's gay.
00:34:27.000And as long as you're putting these people in buses, why not send them back to Mexico?
00:34:35.000And, you know, people might say, well, they can't.
00:37:24.000But I'll just say this, you know, the Groypers, America First, we have relationships with politicians, some public, some private.
00:37:35.000And, you know, a lot of politicians are reluctant to associate and, you know, they try to be somewhat discreet about it because of what we represent and the kinds of things I say and the media attention it attracts.
00:37:48.000And I remember one time we kind of got let down by somebody, and it's someone I like, it's someone I like, it's someone I respect, and someone who's, I think, a real patriot.
00:37:58.000But he said to me, hey listen, you understand, right?
00:39:36.000But I mean to say, we need to just start fighting.
00:39:39.000And if there's collateral damage, if there's casualties, again, I'm not talking about lives, I'm talking about if people get attacked by the media, if people lose their jobs, if there's adverse consequences from engaging on a real level, then so be it, that's what a fight is.
00:39:58.000And again, I'm not saying go out there and kill and be killed, I'm not saying that.
00:40:03.000I'm saying engaging obviously in the realm of politics.
00:40:08.000You know, when Trump first ran, he was not beloved like he is now after he proved that he was the answer.
00:40:18.000When he first started running, they all conspired against him.
00:40:22.000Fox News, Roger Ailes, the GOP, all the candidates, the Democrats, the FBI, you name it.
00:40:29.000And do you remember, at the first Republican debate, the Fox News debate in August 2015, he said that if he didn't get the nomination, he would run as an independent.
00:40:42.000And the first question they asked at the debate was,
00:40:47.000Bret Baier said, out of all the candidates on the stage, if you plan to run as an independent, or they said something like, you know, if you don't take the pledge to drop out of the race and support the Republican nominee, raise your hand.
00:41:05.000And Trump was the only one who raised his hand.
00:41:08.000And Brett Barrett goes, well you know, just so we're clear, you're saying that if you don't get the nomination, you're not going to pledge to support the nominee, ensuring Hillary Clinton will win the race.
00:41:20.000And Trump goes, I understand, I understand the question.
00:41:23.000He goes, I'd like to run as the Republican, but if I don't, I'll run as an Independent.
00:42:12.000Because, you know, it's either gonna be me, and I'm gonna win, and I'm gonna make America great again, or honestly, it doesn't matter anyway.
00:42:20.000And that was the kind of thinking, that was the kind of mindset that he brought to the table.
00:43:53.000DeSantis can write all these executive orders and they all get gummed up in the courts and, you know, so it doesn't really matter.
00:43:59.000He can write as many of these dumbass executive orders as he wants and most of them just gets held up in the courts and stopped in the courts, dead in their tracks.
00:44:10.000Now, if you go and do something maybe like shut down the border against the Supreme Court or against the federal government, yeah, maybe the federal government will come in and arrest Greg Abbott.
00:44:32.000You're introducing a dynamic where things can get better.
00:44:36.000As opposed to the current dynamic where things cannot get better.
00:44:40.000If we're all afraid to say the truth, if we're all afraid to take action, if we're all afraid to do anything gutsy so that we can just survive, all we're ever going to do is survive.
00:44:52.000All we're ever going to do is survive and hold the line while we get pushed back inch by inch by inch until we fall off the cliff.
00:45:00.000We've been told constantly, hold the line, keep electing us, well we're fighting, well we just gotta keep going, we just gotta... And it's not working!
00:45:49.000I'm gonna say a thing like, the illegals are bringing drugs crime and we want them out.
00:45:54.000As opposed to saying, what we need is comprehensive immigration reform
00:46:01.000I hope that Trump can bring that energy back.
00:46:10.000I hope that some people can bring that energy back, but there's just no guts.
00:46:14.000I've been doing this for five years, which is not a long time.
00:46:18.000But I've witnessed for five years people shine me on like that and tell me, well, you know, we've just got to be smart, we've just got to be careful, and we've just got to do this and that.
00:46:27.000And, you know, it's like, is that really making a huge difference?
00:47:41.000So I'm not saying, it's not to say that there should never be strategic considerations, but it is to say that people need to start taking some risks.
00:47:48.000People need to start, the politicians and the pundits and the people with real influence and power need to start taking some risks.
00:48:08.000There is really no benefit to playing it conservatively.
00:48:13.000What I mean by that is, you know, 20 years ago, to do something really risky might not make sense because, you know, things are still pretty good in the country and there's still kind of like a prospect for reform and, you know, there's benefits to being more
00:48:35.000At this point in time, because of the state of affairs, because there is such a crisis, because it's so urgent, because it's so overwhelming, and because we're not really even going to have anything resembling sovereignty, freedom, the franchise, anything like that in 10, 15 years.
00:48:52.000And I think that's even being charitable.
00:48:55.000I think that's even being conservative when I say it's 15 years out.
00:49:03.000In terms of what you're losing by taking a risk, it's much lower than it was before.
00:49:08.000What are people trying so hard to protect?
00:49:12.000I think about some of these politicians that are in purple states where redistricting is hurting them.
00:49:20.000And they're playing it safe, and it's like, why?
00:49:23.000We don't really have a political future.
00:49:25.000If things keep going the way that we're going, we don't have a political future.
00:49:29.000We don't really have much of any kind of a future.
00:49:32.000We have a future of eating bugs cooked into hamburgers and canned beans and, you know, driving shitty electric cars and rolling brownouts.
00:49:42.000And if you're too far right, you get investigated by the FBI.
00:49:45.000So the value proposition, this decision, has fundamentally changed because of the nature of our situation.
00:50:20.000Donald Trump is the presumptive nominee, most popular president in history, most popular politician in the country now, biggest vote-getter in American history, and federal law enforcement is going to prevent him from running?
00:50:35.000With some trumped-up, no pun intended, obstruction charge.
00:50:39.000And Fox, and the GOP, and all the pundits are gonna let it happen.
00:50:45.000So it's like, if that's the state of politics right now, if that's the state of affairs, what is the political future that we're trying so hard not to lose, that we're hanging on to?
00:50:56.000Oh, we can't say this because then the media's gonna say this, or you know, censorship, or
00:51:01.000What are the consequences we're afraid of?
00:51:03.000Oh, well, we can't do this because then the government might do what?
00:51:08.000Get a FISA warrant and spy in your campaign headquarters?
00:51:11.000Send the FBI to raid your personal residence?
00:51:14.000Appoint a special counsel to look into a dossier that was created by the opposing campaign?
00:51:19.000Things like that that already happened?
00:52:53.000And again, not a call to violence is not a call to that.
00:52:56.000I'm saying, let's come up with some kind of a play that isn't just some stupid gimmicky crap like, we're gonna send 100 illegals to Chicago.
00:53:09.000It doesn't change the facts on the ground.
00:53:11.000Worst immigration crisis ever, and you're the governor, and we have 25 Republican governors, and you're just letting it happen.
00:53:18.000And it's 22, and you're just letting it happen.
00:53:21.000And they're gonna let it happen in 23 and 24, and it's like, at what point in 2050, when it's Mogadishu, are you gonna say, oh, well now we're gonna... Too late!
00:53:55.000So you remember back in August, seems like everybody's kind of forgotten about it already, the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago in Florida, which is Trump's personal residence.
00:54:07.000And, as you know, it is completely unprecedented.
00:54:21.000It's not the first time in history that a federal government employee has taken classified documents, which is what the search warrant was about.
00:54:30.000You know, initially everybody thought it was about 1-6.
00:54:32.000It turned out that the Trump team was in contact with the National Archives, and the National Archives was concerned about confidential or classified documents that were being stored at Mar-a-Lago, and all this culminated in the National Archives going to the DOJ.
00:54:53.000The FBI and the DOJ going to a judge and getting a search warrant and sending out a hundred FBI agents to lock down the residents and search the bedroom, the office, and an additional room.
00:55:06.000Turn off the cameras and everything and take boxes and boxes of documents out of the residence, throw them in a truck and take them back to D.C.
00:55:14.000And we didn't even know that this happened in the middle of the night.
00:55:18.000We didn't even find out about it from the government.
00:55:32.000Later in that week they released the search warrant and it showed that they were interested in three statutes pertaining to the improper transfer, storage, and disposal of classified documents from the White House.
00:55:52.000Trump leaves the White House, takes some documents, National Archives calls him up in January and says, hey, you didn't turn over some things.
00:56:00.000And the Trump team says, well, whatever you need, we've got it.
00:56:15.000And I guess then they were led to believe, based on spying perhaps, that the Trump team is not being forthcoming, and so they go to the judge, they get the warrant.
00:56:27.000That's what we found out from the warrant, the affidavit, and now additional documentation.
00:56:34.000And what we've learned today, the update about this, is that now the Department of Justice is interested in something else.
00:56:41.000We were told again when the raid happened that they were interested in these three particular statutes about the documents.
00:56:49.000He took the documents, he stored the documents, he may have gotten rid of them, and that was improper and that was criminal.
00:56:55.000Well now, the update today is that the DOJ says they're interested in a charge about obstruction.
00:57:01.000That the crime was not the taking of the documents or the storage of the documents.
00:57:07.000The crime was obstruction because when the National Archives and the FBI tried to get them, they claim that based on what they found in the raid, the Trump team tried to hide the documents.
00:57:19.000So the crime isn't even the crime itself.
00:57:22.000It was this alleged attempt to cover up a crime that doesn't exist.
00:57:34.000Documents stored at former President Trump's Florida home were likely concealed as part of an effort to obstruct an FBI investigation, according to the Department of Justice.
00:57:45.000In a court filing, the department said, quote,
00:57:56.000Presidents must transfer all of their documents and emails to the National Archives.
00:58:00.000The FBI is investigating whether Mr. Trump improperly handled records by taking them from the White House to Mar-a-Lago after he left office.
00:58:09.000In the filing released on Tuesday, the Justice Department's counterintelligence chief gave the clearest picture so far of the department's attempts to retrieve documents from the former president.
00:58:20.000Those attempts led to a National Archives team visiting Mar-a-Lago in January and retrieving 15 boxes of records that contained highly classified reports, some of which were intermixed with other records and even contained Mr. Trump's handwritten notes.
00:58:56.000If this is a real criminal act, which it's impossible, by definition it's impossible, the President is the final authority on the classification schedule.
00:59:14.000And the President leaves the White House on January 20th when he stops being the President.
00:59:19.000So if the President takes documents from the White House, he's taking them prior to January 20th, meaning he's taking them as acting President.
00:59:28.000Meaning he's taking them with the full authority to classify or declassify at whim.
00:59:34.000The act of taking them, and necessarily when he took them, necessitates that by that act he's declassifying them.
00:59:44.000For him to take them out of the White House and bring them to Mar-a-Lago, he had to do that as President, and if he did that as President, he's declassifying them effectively.
00:59:52.000That's his authority to take them, store them, and they say, well those documents belong to the United States.
01:00:21.000But the statute says, the statute says, the statute doesn't say Trump took government property, the statute says improperly handled classified materials.
01:00:32.000Well, as far as the classification schedule, that is Trump's discretionary authority.
01:00:38.000And the act of Trump taking them declassifies them.
01:00:41.000So the National Archives can come and say, we want our records back, and Trump can give them back.
01:00:46.000But to use the statute and say, well, this constitutes an illicit transfer based on the classification schedule, it is impossible for that to happen.
01:00:55.000It is by definition impossible for that to happen.
01:01:08.000If they're alleging that he is holding these illegally,
01:01:12.000Well, the National Archives came out eight months ago and took documents with full cooperation from the President.
01:01:21.000Wouldn't it have been an illegal act for them to be at Mar-a-Lago when they showed up and said, hey, we know they're there, we're coming to get them, and we took them?
01:01:31.000And they know that, and they know that the DOJ knows that, which is why now they're doing this, and I'll get into it here.
01:01:41.000It says, Mr. Trump responded to the filing on Wednesday claiming that FBI agents threw documents haphazardly all over the floor, perhaps pretending that it was me that did that, then started taking pictures of them for the public to see.
01:01:54.000Basically like framing him like he's just got classified documents all over his bedroom.
01:02:02.000After discovering the 15 seized boxes contained highly classified reports,
01:02:07.000The Justice Department and the FBI began investigations which found evidence that dozens of additional boxes likely containing classified information still remained at Mar-a-Lago.
01:02:18.000On June 3rd, three FBI agents and a Justice Department lawyer arrived at Mar-a-Lago to collect materials.
01:02:24.000According to Mr. Trump's lawyers, he told them, whatever you need, just let us know.
01:02:29.000But agents were, quote, explicitly prohibited by his representatives from searching any boxes inside a storage room in Mr. Trump's property.
01:02:38.000Mr. Bratt from the Justice Department said this gave no opportunity for the government to confirm that no classified documents remained at the property.
01:02:47.000Evidence was also found that the records were likely concealed and removed from the storage and that efforts were likely taken, likely, likely concealed, likely taken to obstruct the investigation.
01:03:02.000Following the June visit, FBI teams searched Mr. Trump's property in August where they found more than 100 classified documents.
01:03:10.000This was twice as many documents found in a matter of hours than by the diligent search that Mr. Trump's team claimed they had previously carried out.
01:03:50.000The National Archives comes out in January and takes all these boxes.
01:03:53.000The FBI comes out in June based on what was taken in January and says, hey, we want all the classified documents.
01:04:00.000And the Trump team says, hey, whatever you need.
01:04:02.000Well, the Trump team said, well, you can't go in this room.
01:04:05.000So they get this ridiculous search warrant, they come back in August and they raid everything, and they find all these documents and they say, well, because we found additional documents, we assumed that you were hiding them, we assumed that you weren't trying to cooperate, and probably you did this to obstruct the investigation.
01:04:24.000And now that's the charge they're going with.
01:04:27.000So they're not going to charge him for improperly handling the documents, because like I said, that would be impossible.
01:04:33.000Now they're talking about charging him for obstructing the FBI's investigation into whether he improperly handled the documents.
01:04:43.000So that would be like if the FBI thought I committed a murder, but I didn't, and then the FBI charged me anyway with obstructing their investigation into the murder that I didn't commit.
01:04:58.000And it's exactly like I said back in August.
01:05:36.000They could say, well, we own those documents, but the statute is the classification.
01:05:42.000If Trump has them, they're not classified.
01:05:45.000They can go and say, well, we want them back, and Trump can say, okay, but to say, well, it was wrong for you to have them from the beginning because of their classification, that just will not hold up.
01:05:56.000That just simply would not hold up in court.
01:05:59.000I don't think they charge him with that.
01:06:01.000They wouldn't charge him with that unless they knew they could get a conviction, and that would not be a slam-dunk case.
01:06:07.000But as always, they're not even interested in what they say they're interested in.
01:06:13.000Just like the FISA warrant back in 16, just like the special counsel, they now are interested in charging him because of some impropriety while he obstructed their investigation.
01:06:36.000So he obstructed an FBI investigation into a crime that he couldn't possibly commit?
01:06:42.000And by the way, this is the same playbook that they did with the Russia hoax.
01:06:47.000When the special counsel was appointed back in 2016 or 2017 to investigate Russian collusion in the election, that investigation went on for over a year.
01:07:14.000And they looked through all... And this is old news, I know, so a lot of you people probably don't even remember.
01:07:20.000But even when they charged all these other people, they charged Paul Manafort and they charged Roger Stone, when they were charging these people it was similar.
01:07:28.000Paul Manafort, who was supposed to be one of the key people in the Russian collusion conspiracy and this giant special counsel which sucked up who knows how many resources in the White House to sabotage the Trump administration,
01:07:44.000What they wound up charging him for was some financial crime that he had committed years before the election, which they just basically stumbled upon in the course of their investigation.
01:07:56.000Investigating him for Russian collusion, and they found some financial impropriety from years before, years prior, that had nothing to do with it.
01:08:55.000Now every liberal that you know, just like every liberal that was flying a Ukraine flag on their front porch and every liberal was triple vaccinated and had their masks on and had their I Resist freaking bumper sticker, now every liberal is going to pretend like they took classified documents.
01:09:12.000This is really important and the biggest thing in the world.
01:09:19.000If anything, it's just like a stupid clerical error at the most.
01:09:24.000But now every MSNBC host and every CNN host and every faggot liberal in America is gonna say Trump's a crook because he took classified documents and I take that very seriously.
01:09:52.000How it comes full circle with all of this, everything that they accused Trump of doing and every accusation is the worst, biggest thing in the world.
01:10:01.000You know, when they thought Russia interfered in the election, it was the worst, biggest thing in the world.
01:10:06.000All the liberals were election experts.
01:10:24.000But everything that they accused Trump of doing, they themselves did.
01:10:29.000You know, like back in 2016 when they say that Russia rigged the election, they said, oh well, you know, the election was hacked, it was a stolen election, it was totally rigged, and Trump is not the rightful president, and Hillary should be president, here's how she could still win, and we gotta get the electors, and we gotta investigate.
01:10:49.000And then they steal the election in 2020, and when we say, hey, you stole the election, they go, elections are never faked!
01:12:11.000Hillary Clinton had her private email server when she's
01:12:17.000When she's corresponding with foreign ministries and foreign heads of state as the US Secretary of State, without the power to classify or declassify, by the way, without that privilege,
01:12:29.000She's got all that information, all those communications, classified correspondence, classified information on a private email server in her house and she keeps it there when she's out of office.
01:12:42.000Then when Congress subpoenas her on her penalty of obstruction, by the way, she conveniently deletes and loses and acid washes all the emails.
01:12:53.000And remember, they said, oh that's no big deal, nothing to see there, that happens all the time, who cares, I'm sick of hearing about her damn emails.
01:13:04.000But now that Trump, now that they found 100 documents in the former president's residence, which the president has the authority to declassify, and they're gonna charge him not even with that, but with obstruction, now they're all, watch, oh he's a crook, he stole documents from the White House,
01:13:26.000I just can't, and I know, I mean a lot of that's very basic, but it just goes to show the extent to which people can just be easily manipulated and controlled.
01:13:36.000And they'll say it, they'll go out there and say like it's the gospel truth, I hate Trump because he's a crook, and he's a crook because of DOJ, and the DOJ are good people, and this is a very serious offense.
01:13:54.000And if you look into the letter of the law, there's not even a wrongdoing here.
01:13:58.000But then they're gonna get him with obstruction, and they're gonna wait until after the midterms even to charge him, because the real endgame in all of this is just to prevent him from becoming president again.
01:14:35.000Because they don't want to activate Trump's base to give the House to the Republicans, but they do want to charge him before he announces he's running in 23.
01:14:44.000Because they want to throw a wrench into his campaign and maybe prevent him from running at all.
01:15:33.000They're gonna wait for Republicans to have a disappointing result, right?
01:15:36.000You know, they forgive the student loans, they release the strategic oil reserve, they bring the gas prices down, all of that, just in time for the midterms, they get the result they want, and then they go on and die Trump, and they throw a wrench into the 24 campaign.
01:15:53.000That's how I think it's going to play out.
01:15:55.000And here's the thing, the only way that Trump stands a chance is if the party stands behind him, but I don't know that they will.
01:16:01.000I think that they're all getting ready to betray Trump like Julius Caesar style and have DeSantis be the nominee.
01:16:09.000If they could have done it in 2016, they would have done it.
01:16:38.000I don't think McCarthy's going to have his back, McConnell won't have his back, none of them are going to have his back, and he's just going to be screwed.
01:16:44.000He's going to have no social media, no media outlet, they're going to ban him from the App Store on True Social, he's going to be indicted in multiple jurisdictions, and the Jews are going to throw their support behind DeSantis, and that's just what it's going to be.
01:17:02.000And I hope that he can get that support.
01:17:04.000I hope that he can pull on those guys and go to war against the establishment so they can help him.
01:17:09.000But that's what it's shaping up to be in 23.
