Trump’s Stolen Documents

As you know doubt know, the Trump warrant released pursuant to order has been released.

It consists of:

  • A one-page warrant
  • The short Attachment A describing Mar-a-Lago
  • The Attachment B describing the various things for which the FBI can search
  • Two, potentially separate, search returns, one signed by the Supervisory Special Agent and the other signed by the Special Agent

Combined, the inventory may look like this:

  • 1) Roger Stone clemency
    • 1A) Information about the President of France (seemingly tied to the Stone clemency)
  • 2) Leatherbound box of documents
    • 2A) Various classified/TS/SCI documents
  • 3) Potential Presidential Record
  • 4) Documents
  • 5) Binder of photos
  • 6) Binder of photos
  • 7) Handwritten note
  • 8) Box labeled A-1
  • 9) Box labeled A-12
  • 10) Box labeled A-15
    • 10A) Miscellaneous Secret Documents
  • 11) Box labeled A-16
    • 11A) Miscellaneous Top Secret Documents
  • 12) Box labeled A-17
  • 13) Box labeled A-18
    • 13A) Miscellaneous Top Secret Documents
  • 14) Box labeled A-27
    • 14A) Miscellaneous Confidential Documents
  • 15) Box labeled A-28
    • 15A) Miscellaneous Secret Documents
  • 16) Box labeled A-30
  • 17) Box labeled A-32
  • 18) Box labeled A-35
  • 19) Box labeled A-23
    • Confidential Document
  • 20) Box labeled A-22
  • 21) Box labeled A-24
  • 22) Box labeled A-34
  • 23) Box labeled A-39
    • 23A) Miscellaneous Secret Documents
  • 24) Box labeled A-40
  • 25) Box labeled A-41
    • 25A) Miscellaneous Confidential Documents
  • 26) Box labeled A-42
    • 26A) Miscellaneous Top Secret Documents
  • 27) Box labeled A-71
  • 28) Box labeled A-73
    • 28A) Miscellaneous Top Secret Documents
  • 29) Box labeled A-14
  • 30) Box labeled A-26
  • 31) Box labeled A-43
  • 32) Box labeled A-13
  • 33) Box labeled A-33

I’m going to come back to this. But some big questions I have right now are:

  • Does the more cryptic receipt compiled by the Supervising Special Agent represent a separate subclass of documents, perhaps tied to more sensitive crimes?
  • Is there really a tie between a clemency document from Trump and the French President (presumably, but not definitely, Emanuel Macron)?
  • Do the boxes not shown to include classified information include documents of particular interest, or were they just collected under the search protocol?
