On this episode of Fed Out, we have special guest Myron Myles. Myron is a former Homeland Security Special Agent who served as a Special Agent in charge of the Miami Field Office Fugitive unit. In this episode, Myron talks about some of the most infamous cases he worked on, including the biggest drug bust in New Orleans history and the most corrupt police case in the history of New Orleans.
00:02:09.040And every time we come, it's like with a massive fucking case, something huge to break down.
00:02:15.220So I'm glad we're always like – and I'm thankful that you bring me back on to break down the massive cases because this is stuff I love because there's a lot of meat on this bone.
00:02:22.860Well, I'm thankful that you were just available, dude, because to be honest, we're on different time zones.
00:02:28.200I see you going hard in the paint with everything else.
00:02:30.440And we want to bring you back out here to Miami, obviously, for the One Million Party and to do another podcast because we always love to get that legal mindset from someone that's unbiased and based.
00:03:13.500I'm like, you can tell the government to go eat it because this YouTube thing is going to be real.
00:03:18.420So this shit was – and, you know, hundreds of subs later, hundreds of thousands of subs later, here's where we're at.
00:03:25.740Yeah, no, it's crazy, dude, because you were there with me at one of those dark times, which is why I like – because, guys, you know, I got to take some accountability.
00:03:48.800He accepted an apology, and we're here now.
00:03:50.540And you got to remember – and I noticed this, too, because, like, as we got bigger and bigger, I was like, man, there's a lot of frauds out here.
00:03:56.840And Andrew is definitely ruined because when I was going through one of my darkest times, he was there when I went through the bullshit with, you know, them telling me, hey, you know, we don't like your YouTube, blah, blah, blah.
00:04:24.220I'm going to acknowledge that mistake.
00:04:25.300And, Andrew, I want to tell you that I want to tell everybody here on air and then also let the people let you know as well, bro, that you're a great friend.
00:04:43.380I love that because a rising tide is bringing all the boats up.
00:04:46.420And the truth is getting out there, whether it's the truth about, you know, feminine and masculine dynamics or whether it's the truth about what's going on in the law, what's going on in these cases.
00:04:55.300Because there's there's levels to this.
00:05:12.580And between me and you, you know, you got a lawyer and then you got a former Fed in the house.
00:05:15.940Like, you're not going to get this kind of content anywhere else on YouTube.
00:05:18.180And then also, I want to let the guys know, just so you guys know, I've explained this a million times.
00:05:22.400But one more time, because and Andrew's my witness, actually, because he actually was with me when I got to level.
00:05:27.160What happened, guys, was the YouTube channel started to blow up.
00:05:30.380Obviously, as you guys know, I have controversial takes.
00:05:32.580They pretty much told me, listen, your outside employment authorization is suspended.
00:05:36.700You can no longer do your outside employment activities, which for me in that case was YouTube and my fitness business.
00:05:43.020So obviously I had to make a decision.
00:05:44.180And Andrew is one of the first people I called and I spoke to and I read what we went over the letter with him and everything else like that.
00:05:50.280And, you know, it was like, bro, there's no way around it.
00:05:53.500We try to go back and forth with them.
00:07:30.140But if you want to find my content, Legal Mindset is my YouTube channel.
00:07:33.420I just started a second one to talk about, just started like a week or two ago called Illegal Mindset, which is to talk about non-legal stuff.
00:07:40.740But I got so those two channels, Legal Mindset, Illegal Mindset.
00:07:44.740My Twitter is Legal Mindset, The Legal Mindset.
00:07:47.640I also have locals, legalmindset.locals.com, where I have unscripted conversations, including about stuff like this, because the algorithm hates this.
00:07:56.040They de-incentivize this and they punish us.
00:07:58.660They put us down in the ranking for just talking about stuff like this, talking about, for example, the Alex Jones trial, all that sort of stuff.
00:08:33.220I now stream at a time when nobody else is streaming just because there's so many international people and they want the news when they can get it, which I usually stream over here 6 p.m. Korea time, which is like 5 a.m.
00:08:45.220But it's great for the U.K., for Australia, for New Zealand.
00:08:49.020And there's lots of people out there that want to know the truth.
00:08:51.600And because of the Amber Heard trial, they've come to my channel and they're coming to channels like your channels looking for the truth because they realize the mainstream media is fucking lying to them.
00:09:30.060If that's not compensating, I don't know what is.
00:09:32.460But the point of it is, he has the most lib woke takes.
00:09:36.100And he's one of the reasons why I got into YouTube as a lawyer because all he was doing was posting anti-Trump stuff just because that's popular, right?
00:11:16.740So if you want to go play the clip, we can.
00:11:18.240Yeah, this is when the news originally broke on the 8th, guys.
00:11:21.480So I purposely picked something from August 8th so that you guys kind of know what happened when it what actually was broadcast as soon as it happened.
00:11:28.960So I'll play this clip real fast for y'all.
00:11:30.640Has executed an unprecedented search warrant at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.
00:11:37.200The circumstances surrounding this search aren't entirely clear, but we know the Justice Department has an active investigation into the former president.
00:11:45.080Let's bring in Matt Howerton for some perspective on the legal action in Florida.
00:21:25.520I would love to show you, I've played it on my channel, the video of him getting arrested, and he tries to say, I'm transgender, non-binary, and therefore, male cops can't touch me.
00:21:36.160I need a female cop, like, or a non-binary cop to pat me down, and trying to say he's allergic to handcuffs.
00:21:44.920And so, he's using that as a shield, right, you know, to protect him when he can, but he's also grooming children.
00:21:51.880And he's already got restraining orders in two different jurisdictions based on families of transgender children that he's slept in the same bed with.
00:22:00.700He's kind of showed up with, at their house with guns and a flak vest and intimidated the parents.
00:22:05.680And it's getting even more complicated because some of the kids who are trans who kind of, you know, rebelling against their parents, they're like, oh, no, it was okay what we did together.
00:22:59.740They don't really debunk the fact that, like, Osama was sitting there taking, like, you know, taking credit for the 9-11 attacks and bombings to the USS Cole.
00:23:07.800Like, they had a deep hatred for the United States.
00:23:10.220There were 19 guys that were caught, you know, that fraudulently procured visas to come into the United States.
00:23:16.220So, there's an overwhelming amount of evidence to show that these guys were behind the attack versus a lot of these conspiracy guys, right, are just talking about, oh, well, it was an inside demolition and all this other stuff.
00:23:25.480But they're not necessarily disproving that it was a terrorist attack either.
00:23:28.420So, I mean, again, I'm all for conspiracy theories.
00:23:32.300I will go ahead and watch this Pearl Harbor thing because a bunch of people have been telling me to watch this documentary, the new Pearl Harbor.
00:23:36.960I remember watching Loose Change back in the day.
00:23:52.260And you've got to – if you're going to do it, if you're going to, like, it's like, okay, I'm all about, like, listening to an argument, right?
00:24:30.720And then X goes, the U.S. funded Osama in the beginning.
00:24:32.760Yes, that is true, but that is because the United States hated Russia, and Russia was invading Afghanistan, and they were going to go ahead and fund them so that they could fight Russia.
00:24:43.240Like I said, I'm down to look at that documentary or whatever, but what I'm saying is that I haven't seen – these conspiracy theories don't necessarily disprove the facts that we know as far as this being a terrorist attack.
00:25:59.680Long story short, guys, this is – and I know this because this is what they charged Robert Hanson with.
00:26:03.760If you guys forget, Robert Hanson back in the early 2000s, he was arrested for espionage, selling secrets to the Russians, giving a bunch of classified information.
00:26:13.000So, that falls into this area of law right here, which I think, honestly, this is what carries the most time for the charges that they're alleging against Trump because this is basically like treason, guys.
00:26:24.120And as you guys can see, it's extremely broad, right?
00:26:26.940Just from the beginning, a few sentences here, not even sentences, it's a big-ass run-on sentence.
00:27:00.920It's a big place connected with the national defense owned or constructed or in progress of construction by the United States or under the control of the United States or of any of its officers, departments, or agencies, or within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States.
00:27:33.380And if it's not top secret, then – or whether if the clearance hasn't changed, right, or if it's been declassified, then he would still have permission.
00:27:41.020The next one is unlawful, right, if he did not have lawful access to it.
00:27:46.760But either way, they're worded the same.
00:27:48.420And the point is, if you go towards – if he transmits that.
00:27:53.400So, if he – let's see, starting in the middle.
00:27:56.780Willfully communicates, delivers, transmits, causes to be communicated, delivers, transmitted, attempts to communicate, delivers, transmits, causes to be communicated, delivers, transmits, causes to be communicated, delivers, transmits to any person not entitled to receive it.
00:28:45.840And I've worked with governments, state governments, local governments, all sorts of governments.
00:28:49.840Every government everywhere is in violation of these types of statutes, of these records retention statutes.
00:28:56.560They are so strict that I fucking guarantee you printed out something at some point, took it home, and didn't turn it in.
00:29:05.100Everybody is probably guilty of this, including, by the way, former presidents like President Bill Clinton who famously – and I think we've got like an article to pull up real quick.
00:30:15.520So U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington, D.C., ultimately rejected Judicial Watch's suit by concluding there was no provision in the Presidential Records Act to force the National Archives to seize records from a former president.
00:30:26.600But Jackson's ruling, along with the Justice Department's arguments that preceded it, made some other sweeping declarations that have more direct relevance to the FBI's decision to seize handwritten notes and files Trump took with him to Mar-a-Lago.
00:30:36.660The most relevant is that a president's discretion on what are personal versus official records is far-reaching and solely his, as is his ability to declassify or destroy records at will.
00:30:48.180Under the statutory scheme established by the PRA, the decision to segregate personal materials from presidential records is made by the president during the president's term and in his sole discretion.
00:30:57.420Jackson wrote in her March 2012 decision, which was never appealed.
00:31:01.400Since the president is completely entrusted with the management and even the disposal of presidential records during his time in office, it would be difficult for this court to conclude that Congress intended that he would have less authority to do what he pleases with what he considers to be his personal record.
00:31:13.940She added, and then here's the full ruling here, right, the opinion, and then right here, the judge noted a president could destroy any record he wanted during his tenure, and his only responsibility was to inform the archives.
00:31:26.700As to whether records a president concluded were personal can be forcibly seized after he leaves the office, the court concluded it was unreasonable to force Nara to go get the tapes.
00:31:59.560But as Myron can tell you, and as anybody who's worked in the government knows, they write this shit very broadly so they can get people, right?
00:32:07.620This is not written narrowly so they can't charge somebody.
00:32:10.340This is written broadly so they can get people for taking documents.
00:32:14.840And I think it's possible he could be charged with this because it's so fucking broad.
00:32:19.400Should we be charging people with this?
00:32:22.100I don't think, especially former presidents, I think this is ridiculous.
00:32:25.600Because mind you, by the way, this is important for everything we're going to talk about today.
00:32:29.820While you're president, for everything you do, you have executive privilege, meaning it's something that you cannot be charged for a crime for because you are the president.
00:32:39.800Unless you go through an impeachment process and all that good stuff, right, that we all know about, you know, with blue, with, you know, stains on the dress and all that good stuff.
00:32:48.880But that's a constitutional process, right?
00:32:52.300You cannot be charged with petty-ass crimes like this because it's your job.
00:32:56.040That's what you're supposed to be doing.
00:32:57.680Like, you are an officer of the United States.
00:33:00.100This is ex post facto, after the fact, trying to get him after he's left the office.
00:33:06.780The feeling of coming off is extraordinarily petty.
00:33:09.420Yeah, and here's a guy right here, Kevin Brock, former assistant FBI director for intelligence, told Just News, the bureau search warrant was overly broad and went beyond what the FBI manual for agents recommended.
00:33:22.780Specificity is important in order to protect Fourth Amendment rights from exuberant government overreach designed to find whatever they can, he told Just News.
00:33:30.160I'm going to have to push back on him on this a little bit because I know this affidavit that the FBI probably filed, which, by the way, has not been shown, by the way, guys.
00:33:40.100I know they crossed their T's and dotted their I's.
00:33:41.920However, what it comes down to is does Trump have the ability to declassify the records, right, number one, and then make it personal, which would null and void all their efforts?
00:33:54.160That's what the linchpin is going to be here.
00:33:56.700And then you've got former presidents, right, right here.
00:33:59.480On the classification issue, both President George W. Bush and Barack Obama signed executive orders, which remain in force to this day, declaring that presidents have sweeping authority to declassify secrets and do not have to follow the mandatory declassification procedures of all other government officials do.
00:34:13.300Which is true, because when you deal with classified information as a regular government employee, and I can tell you guys this because I've dealt with classified information before.
00:34:20.600Number one, it's a fucking pain in the ass.
00:34:21.920It's not as sexy as people tell you guys.
00:34:23.220You've got to fucking store it a certain way.
00:35:13.820So, if you guys see here, the A portion of it is extremely broad.
00:35:19.100Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so with intent to do so, takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States or in any public office or with any judicial or public officer of the United States shall be fined under this title or in prison not more than three years or both.
00:35:43.180And then, and then it goes into the B portion, which I think they're going after him for, they
00:35:48.800didn't even cite the, the, the, because here's the application right here, guys.
00:36:20.720Um, I don't know what the AUSA was doing there.
00:36:24.200They probably did that just so they wouldn't know exactly which one, but the B version is whoever having the custody of any record is such record proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies.
00:36:36.080Or destroys the same shall be fined under this title or in prison, not more than three years or both.
00:36:48.040Forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under you, the United States right there.
00:36:56.880That's why they hit him with this statue.
00:36:59.480As used in this subsection, the term office does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the armed force of the United States.
00:37:06.380That's not what they're talking about.
00:37:07.520What they're, what they're talking about, what they want this to mean is that he can't run for president again.
00:37:24.760No person except a natural born citizen or citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the constitution shall be eligible to the office of president.
00:37:35.060Neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained the age of 35 years and been 14 years a resident within the United States.
00:37:44.580So it says you got to be a resident for 14 years, citizen, and you've got to be 35 years old.
00:37:50.380So does this, does this statute conflict with that?
00:37:55.300Yeah, it does because it adds an extra requirement.
00:37:57.660It says, okay, you can't be guilty of X, Y crime.
00:38:00.140So this is why the left would say it disqualifies him from running.
00:38:26.440I just read the second portion here and I just got like a little eureka moment here.
00:38:29.660It goes, um, as used in the subsection, the term office does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the armed forces of the United States.
00:38:37.980Trump's lawyers might be able to argue.
00:38:59.040Again, this is, and this is the search warrant application guys.
00:39:02.200Me and Andrew are not sitting here capping y'all.
00:39:04.160Like, look, it's 18 USC 2071 and they did not put the actual statute, whether it's A or B.
00:39:10.080I'm going to assume that they wanted it to go under B, but they're not going to, you know, what they're going to try to get what they can get.
00:39:17.360They're going to put the entire statue, hoping that one of the two falls.
00:39:20.520But this is probably why they wanted to, um, to hit him with this statue so bad.
00:39:25.360Cause I'll be honest with you guys right now in my seven years as a federal agent, I've seen a bunch of charges that people throw at people to try to get them on anything.
00:39:33.280I have never, ever seen a discharge, uh, used on someone ever, right.
00:39:40.960And this is generally never forget about, forget about this charge.
00:39:45.420No charge has been brought up against a former president ever, ever, ever.
00:39:50.540This is completely unprecedented in all time.
00:39:53.500So you're telling me that none of the other presidents have concealed documents.
00:42:04.420Then, I mean, that's the end of America as a just society, period.
00:42:08.320Yeah, my thing is, justice has got to be equally distributed amongst all people that might be involved in some type of public corruption or whatever.
00:42:54.440So, normally, I'll tell you guys what the feds will normally charge you with when it comes to, like, you know, falsification of records or any of the other stuff.
00:43:01.140Typically, it's going to be 1,001, you know, false statements.
00:43:04.620That's what they always get people on.
00:43:06.440When they don't got you on anything, they're going to hit you with 1,001, which is false statements, which is a very broad way to get someone.
00:43:12.600Like, if you guys look, anytime you do assign federal documents, they tell you under penalty of perjury of law, 18 U.S.C., 1,001, you know, is everything true and correct to the best of your knowledge?
00:43:35.960I don't think they've got Trump on any of his statements.
00:43:38.560I think the only thing they've got is the documents and his potential possession of the documents, which if you want to read through this, Myron, you'll see how it relates to documents.
00:44:07.240Like, let's say he, like, you know, stupidly signed something without reading it and it wasn't true.
00:44:11.460They can get him on 1,001 for that as well.
00:44:14.320Okay, so whoever knowingly alters, destroys, mutilates, conceals, covers up, falsifies, or makes a false entry in any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or improper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States,
00:44:30.140or any case filed under Title 11 or in relation to or contemplation of any such matter or case shall be fined under this title and prison not more than 20 years or both.
00:44:40.580So this one's also an extremely broad statute as well.
00:46:43.100And they did not and they did not turn off those cameras.
00:46:46.820Trump's people were smart because they didn't turn off all the cameras.
00:46:49.480So they had some of their security cameras rolling throughout the throughout the process.
00:46:53.700But they needed to apply for search warrant to go do this.
00:46:56.840So this is the filing to apply for that search warrant.
00:47:01.420So, OK, so and this is obviously, guys, second notice of filing of redacted documents.
00:47:06.260So what happened is just so you guys know, and I can show you guys this real quick so you guys know what's kind of going on with this case.
00:47:13.140Here's the Pacer caseload on this thing.
00:47:15.360As you guys can see, ridiculous for a search warrant to have this many entries.
00:49:47.600I've written hundreds of search warrants.
00:49:49.740As soon as you execute it, that bitch gets unsealed.
00:49:52.700It's actually you need to be able to justify and rationalize, you know, to a significant degree to keep the entire search warrant sealed, especially the affidavit.
00:50:02.180The fact that the FBI has been able to push this back to this amount of time, Department of Justice tells me, which is more telling to me that they have an informant in this situation.
00:50:11.740I mean, I called it from the beginning that the fact that they were able to get a search warrant in the first place for his home tells me that they had an informant because – so there's different thresholds when you do search warrants, right?
00:50:23.220There's like – let's say you're going to search someone's phone, right?
00:50:47.140Then the highest level of it, guys, is your home.
00:50:49.540So your home is pretty much at the top of the search warrant pinnacle.
00:50:53.580And you need quite a bit of probable cause to search someone's home.
00:50:56.240And nine times out of ten, if you get a search warrant to search someone's home, whether it's a dope trap house or it's someone's house where you think documents are going to be there, you think that criminal activity is going on at that house, you have an informant in there to give you real-time information that the fruits of the crime are going to be located on that premises.
00:51:12.520And that nine out of ten times is accomplished through an informant that was there recently.
00:51:17.720The reason why the FBI is fighting tooth and nail to not put out this affidavit or to redact the fuck out of it, which we're going to talk about that here in a second, is because more than likely they have an informant that is close to Trump that was able to give detailed information as to where the documents were.
00:51:33.060So the FBI went ahead and took a bunch of documents and also searched areas and took things that common knowledge would not allow you to – they would have known that had they not had some kind of – someone in the inside to tell them.
00:51:44.880So them disclosing the affidavit would give up the source, which is why they're fighting tooth and nail to not disclose it.
00:51:51.020However, and we'll get to that at that point, they've already lost that battle to an extent.
00:51:59.420Every search warrant that comes through in the Southern District of Florida, guys, and I know this because I've written a bunch of them here in Florida too, baby, and Miami especially, this is where the U.S. Attorney's Office is, 99 Northeast 40th Street, down the street from where I live right now.
00:52:17.680They use this criminal cover sheet, guys, on all their cases, whether it's a criminal complaint, search warrant, et cetera, any type of matter.
00:52:23.260They use a criminal complaint cover sheet.
00:52:26.000Also, I want to bring to your guys' attention, they have the AUSA blacked out, okay, and their telephone and their email.
00:52:33.400They probably don't want the AUSA to get harassed.
00:52:35.800Juan Antonio is the United States Attorney, guys, which means he's the chief law enforcement official in the Southern District of Florida, a presidentially appointed position, I may add, okay?
00:52:44.600So you come down here, and this is the actual application.
00:54:59.760Have you seen below, attested to the applicant in accordance with requirements of federal criminal rules of criminal procedure 4.1 by phone WhatsApp?
00:55:07.840Like, have you seen, like, what's up with that?
00:55:10.000Like, they're calling them on WhatsApp?
00:55:46.140They file it, and they give it to you.
00:55:47.500So in this case, that tells me that this agent, number one, wasn't in Southern District of Florida when this thing was signed.
00:55:52.620And then number two, probably is an agent from out of this district, more than likely probably out of the Washington field office from that case number that I saw.
00:55:59.160And from me just knowing that it's probably the Washington field office that's running this investigation into Trump in the first place.
00:56:06.060And then, as you guys can see, it was signed to West Palm Beach, Florida.
00:57:44.060And they got said, no, you cannot keep the entire thing sealed.
00:57:48.120But what we will let you do is we will let you redact.
00:57:51.880But if you have, like Myron said, if you have a CI, right, OK, that would be something presumptively they could probably do some redaction to.
00:58:01.320Now, there may be some back and forth as to how much.
00:58:04.340Now, Trump's side, as well as all the media organizations, they say, no, no, no, no, fuck that.
00:58:44.200And if they can turn the election into Trump is bad, every candidate that Trump has endorsed is bad.
00:58:49.620Because, by the way, if you look at the candidates that are winning, by the way, for example, Liz Cheney just lost to a Trump-endorsed candidate.
00:58:58.200So if they can turn Trump into cancer and everything he touches into cancer, that is great for the fall election.
01:00:25.000You're laughing, Merrick, but it's funny because that's where we're at, like, that going to a PTA meeting and speaking up is now domestic terrorism.
01:00:56.040Since I became attorney general, I have made clear that the Department of Justice will speak through its court filings and its work.
01:01:04.420Just now, the Justice Department has filed a motion in the...
01:01:08.100And this was right after they did a search one, by the way, guys.
01:01:10.420This was his press release right after.
01:01:11.980Oh, the District of Florida to unseal a search warrant and property receipt relating to a court-approved search that the FBI conducted earlier this week.
01:01:24.480That search was a premises located in Florida belonging to the former president.
01:01:30.080The department did not make any public statements on the day of the search.
01:01:35.000The former president publicly confirmed the search that evening, as is his right.
01:01:42.280On Twitter, he was like, these fucking guys are right in my spot, man.
01:06:10.880...longstanding department rules and our ethical obligations prevent me from providing further details as to the basis of the search at this time.
01:06:20.380There are, however, certain points I want you to know.
01:06:26.100First, I personally approve the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter.
01:12:11.100This is something they've been working on probably the last, I would say, Myron, I mean, for an investigation like this, six months to a year, right?
01:12:36.240Oh, man, I'm about to really give you all some sauce right now.
01:12:38.220Guys, I need you guys to like the video.
01:12:40.260So normally, when you have big, complex investigations like this, right, you typically have like an umbrella case.
01:12:45.760And I don't know if the FBI organized it this way, but I would be willing to bet maybe they probably did it this way.
01:12:50.380You have an umbrella case, right, which encompasses everything related to the person that's on the file title.
01:12:56.020Then you have segmented investigations in under the umbrella case that encompass that same individual.
01:13:02.040So when it comes to prosecution and discovery purposes, you go ahead and just turn over that file that you're using to go ahead and prosecute that individual.
01:13:10.380You don't necessarily have to disclose all the other information that that person is involved in.
01:13:16.000So like let's say I have a big drug conspiracy case, right, for example, and I'm looking at an entire organization.
01:13:21.280But I'm able to go ahead and open a separate case on one individual that got involved in one like incident, right?
01:13:28.920I'm able to go ahead and give that information for discovery purposes to prosecute that single individual.
01:13:35.280However, I have an entire case, right, on the entire organization.
01:13:39.620And I had already identified this guy and I know him, but I don't necessarily have to disclose all that other stuff until I take the entire investigation down.
01:13:47.100Then when I take the entire investigation down, now everyone's going to have all the discovery.
01:13:51.680But if I'm taking off one segmented person involved in this investigation, I'm able to use a certain case file.
01:13:55.600So they probably have a case open simply on the documents in itself.
01:13:59.540This situation with Mar-a-Lago, right, to wall off.
01:14:03.480You call it walling off your investigation from all the other stuff.
01:14:28.760And, of course, a good attorney can obviously try to fight that, whatever it may be.
01:14:33.420It really comes down to the case agent and the AUSA to strategize and do it the best way, clean way possible.
01:14:38.580But that is one way to kind of – you call it walling off your investigation and having it where, okay, I'm going to give you this stuff privy to your client and this charge that we're particularly going after him on.
01:14:59.780So this is actually the order to unseal.
01:15:03.000So what the argument is is that, hey, listen, the First Amendment declares and makes required that we've got to unseal but to presumably unseal all documents, right?
01:15:11.520So I believe this is the actual order from the judge which says, hey, look, we've got to unseal this, right?
01:15:20.180And they set a timeline of Thursday, noon, Thursday, August 25th.
01:15:25.860So we can actually look forward to that timeline.
01:15:28.120So that's the new news that we can look forward to that timeline, the 25th.
01:15:32.780So three days from now, three days from now, we should get that proposed redactions, which means probably a couple days after that we're going to get the judge's ruling, right?
01:15:45.700So we may early next week, I would imagine – that's my guesstimate – we may get an actual unsealing of the affidavit with or without the rejections.
01:15:53.600Of course, Trump's side wants the whole thing, right?
01:15:56.460And the news, by the way, wants the whole thing.
01:15:58.680The news, once again, the lefty news and the righty news.
01:16:02.820It doesn't matter if you're left, right, or pretend to be neutral, although I'd argue there's no such thing as fucking neutral news nowadays.
01:16:08.580But, you know, I mean, Myron is probably the closest to it right now because he's telling you the facts from, like, a pure agent standpoint.
01:17:42.480But I think that they're going to go back and forth on this redaction thing a little bit longer than we expect is what I think is going to happen.
01:17:48.740Because they're going to argue national security.
01:17:54.400They're going to argue so many different things.
01:17:56.620And they're going to continuously just like go back and forth and try to – they're going to start – like this is what I think they're going to do.
01:18:02.020They're going to redact it almost the entire affidavit.
01:18:10.240And I think what they're going to do is they're going to keep doing that until the judge finally says, you know what, fine, here we go.
01:18:16.300But I genuinely think that AUSA and the Department of Justice is going to do their best to redact everything and it's going to be upon the judge to go back and forth and keep telling them to redact less and less and less.
01:18:38.800I think for us to get to that point, though, it's going to take longer than expected.
01:18:41.440I think the Bureau and DOJ are going to do everything in their power to redact that entire document and the judge is going to have to keep telling them.
01:18:47.600Because as y'all can see, I showed you guys already, the judge has been getting harassed by a million news outlets to unseal this thing.
01:18:54.740You know, his clerk, whoever his clerk is, is probably pulling her fucking hair out because the judge don't do none of this.
01:19:01.900Just so y'all know, judges don't do nothing.
01:19:35.760And remember with this, this is already an unprecedented case because they're searching a former president.
01:19:41.460That's one level that's unprecedented.
01:19:43.460They don't want to make it another unprecedented case by keeping it sealed because what did Myron say?
01:19:48.440Almost every case is just, boom, automatically unsealed.
01:19:52.300So now we're going to create an unprecedented level of ceiling.
01:19:56.480I mean, this is – I mean, it would have to be, like, literally the new codes, which, by the way, was a meme.
01:20:01.240That was a made-up thing if you saw that on Twitter or whatever.
01:20:03.560Somebody edited a Trump fundraising email to be, like, the new codes are 65, 42, 86, 59, like a fucking Powerball, like he was sending those out by email.
01:20:37.520So this is a statement that is given by somebody who was clearly in the Trump White House.
01:20:42.440They were in the Oval Office at a time when Trump made an official appointment.
01:20:47.640And it's a very long affidavit, but essentially he appointed, I believe, Sidney Powell as special counsel during the – his tenure in the White House as president.
01:20:58.480And I believe he was given the legal opinion, which I believe is correct.
01:21:02.660I haven't done the specific research on this one, but I believe it is correct.
01:21:05.400You can issue a commission to somebody, a top-secret clearance, just verbally.
01:21:12.820He gave a commission to somebody verbally, right?
01:21:15.880And so any documents that are between somebody – so now if this person is given clearance, any documents between them are now permissible, right?
01:21:28.560So that would eliminate some of the potential charges here in this filing if this person has a clearance and they were permitted to have those documents.
01:21:40.140Paragraph 12 – so basically, guys, to sum it up for y'all, because I read through this, they had a meeting on some national security stuff with the FBI and DHS.
01:21:48.400And this guy, Michael – his name is Patrick Michael Barnes, and this is basically a sworn declaration from him, guys.
01:23:46.000On December 18th, I witnessed President Donald J. Trump verbally appoint attorney Sidney Powell to the position of White House Special Counsel.
01:23:54.480And guys, this is crazy to me, by the way, that we're literally like reading actual White House conversation that is – this would be considered like a white hat classified, by the way.
01:24:49.640And remember, those charges – remember, going back to the charges we just read, those charges related to transmitting documents to people who do not have an appropriate clearance level.
01:24:59.980So at this point, based on that law, based on that precedent –
01:25:03.900Which is this one right here, the 793, right?
01:25:06.560They would have – now, Sidney Powell, if she sent any information that's top-secret, that's totally okay because Sidney Powell now has top-level security clearance.
01:25:17.960So that argument that they didn't have that, you're transmitting documents to people who didn't have that, that's gone out the window.
01:25:24.320And if that's the case, if the case is – if the FBI's case is that Sidney Powell received top-secret documents, that's their argument here.
01:25:32.160I don't think that's going to be a real great one based on this.
01:25:35.500I think that he's going to have a potential defense to this based on what they're submitting.
01:25:39.920And this is just probably one of several witnesses that are going to come forward and go ahead and say, hey, I witnessed this, blah, blah, blah, Trump giving people this authority, whatever it may be verbally.
01:25:57.560And we can debate whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, right?
01:26:00.660But for what – whether you – despite your feelings about that, because you can feel like that's bad or good, but we have given the president an insane amount of power.
01:26:09.480I mean, personally, I think it's way too much.
01:26:18.120This is where we're at with the president's power.
01:26:20.440So we just got to acknowledge that and say this is where we're at based on granting that power to grant this clearance by just saying, poof, you've got a clearance.
01:26:27.880And not only that, real talk, like if for all you guys out there that are like, oh, y'all are biased or whatever, who else is reading the documents with you guys and explaining line by line what the fuck shit means?
01:26:37.920I've looked at a couple of people that have broken this stuff down.
01:26:40.360Obviously, none of them pull up Pacer documents.
01:27:28.060It's very obvious that they've been going after Trump for several years, okay?
01:27:33.120And at this point, you can make the argument that it's been like they've just been picking on him because with the Russian probe, even with the interference, seven years unfounded.
01:27:40.520They've been trying real hard, and you know that as soon as Biden got in office, he's like, let's cook this up, right?
01:27:47.240Like, you know this has been going on.
01:28:48.400You guys are not going to get this type of information where we actually are showing you guys the court documents and breaking it down for me for you guys.
01:28:54.360A lot of these commentators that I've seen that are talking about this case don't show you guys the documents.
01:28:58.740And worse yet, don't even know what the fuck they're talking about a lot of the times.
01:29:01.760So like the video, share it with a friend.
01:29:11.860So I'm happy to come back on when we get this document.
01:29:14.440The finally the redacted version like that's going to be really good to go through.
01:29:18.340So I'm happy to come back on and talk about that.
01:29:19.840Yeah, no, we definitely do because the whole other thing as well is that was I going to say that David is going to have so much more stuff, dude.
01:29:28.940Like, I'm actually very excited to see that we might have to do an episode like whenever they drop it.
01:29:34.520Yeah, because like, like, go live like that and get it, you know?
01:29:38.200Yeah, because I mean, me and you have read read affidavits before.
01:29:40.620I mean, between me and you, we're going to be able to get break.
01:29:42.540We'll be if we get it here's the thing that you're able to do, because we've done this together before you're able to tell us what's probably redacted.
01:29:51.140That's the thing you know what they're redacting.
01:29:54.520You know exactly what they're redacting.
01:29:57.940I already know because they're probably they're probably have an informant in this situation.
01:30:01.400And when they have an informant, they're going to refer to them as confidential human source dash number, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:30:06.980And they're going to 100 percent redact that.
01:30:09.280And they're probably going to redact where they met, times they met, all that other stuff to try to, like, you know, alleviate the source getting burned.
01:30:17.420But just just off the information that the source provides, they're going to Trump and his team.
01:31:50.940I mean, people people move around documents all the time.
01:31:53.460And for them to go after the president of the United States for it, when other presidents have done this shit, too, and has been proven is wild.
01:31:59.380Beastful Red Pill goes, Andrew, great breakdown so far.
01:35:40.080But guys, once again, for all of you out there, there's probably a crime or a civil infraction or something that you've done that law enforcement could get you for right now.
01:37:15.180Yeah, they'll be able to say, oh, my god, Donald Trump was the first president being indicted by a grand jury in the United States federally.
