BTW - Thank you. If you are attacking me, I know you have no facts left to refute anything I say. You just told me you are out of ammunition.
Here is the information provided again on this thread, for the ***eighth*** time. Please read slowly and carefully:

The position and authority of magistrate judges was established in 1968. By federal law, magistrate judges must meet specified eligibility criteria, including at least five years as a member in good standing of a state or territory’s highest court bar. They must also be vetted by a merit selection panel that consists of lawyers and non-lawyers from the community. By majority vote of the U.S. district judges of the court, magistrate judges are appointed for a renewable term of eight years. In addition, there are a small number of part-time magistrate judges who serve four-year terms.
The number and location of magistrated judges is determined by the Judicial Conference of the United States.
The computer repairman had evidence, called the FBI, and they never returned his call. To get the FBI to come pick up the evidence, the guy had to get the media and Giuliani involved...then the FBI finally woke up.
The FBI brass is corrupt now, and hopefully they'll all be out of a job come Nov 9th.
The NYP and Giuliani? Together??? Wow. Just "Wow." The things you learn on C-D.
The FBI probably didn't take his call because they knew he was a crackpot. They field thousands of calls every year from people who are a half bubble off level. They almost didn't take Steele's call about the "Dossier", but he gave them info they already had in a folder from another source.
You're assuming the FBI followed the law. Why would they start now?
Can you imagine the howling that would be coming from Trump and his lawyers right now if they hadn't gotten a copy of the warrant? No one, not Donald or his lawyers, are claiming this.

And no, he didn't return those things. He's been asked repeatedly for months. And no, I can't prove anything. That will be left up to the DOJ and FBI. I'm sure they have dotted their i's and crossed their t's.
They were returned in Jan, 2022.

The National Archives and Records Administration last month retrieved 15 boxes of White House records that had been sent to former President Donald Trump’s resort-home Mar-a-Lago instead of the National Archives as required by law, the agency said Monday.
Prior administrations have had Presidential Records Act violations, and past presidents have had to return items that were taken after leaving the White House. But one person familiar with the transfer of boxes out of Mar-a-Lago told the Post that the National Archives “has never had that kind of volume transfer after the fact like this.”
Yes, 15 boxes is a lot, but it's also possible that the wrong shipping labels were attached to the boxes. Besides, does it really matter if it's 15 boxes or 1? Where were the FBI raids for the other presidents who'd taken things, maybe even classified material, after they'd left office???
Someone else in here has been saying that the FBI had done a sweep of Trump's place in June, probably to make sure everything had been returned. I haven't been able to verify that so far, but I do think I remember it happening.
What do you say to the people who say "but Hillary" (The deleted emails, the classified information, blah blah blah.) That say "but Hillary did the same thing, and they let her get away with it."
I know all the Hillary stuff was unsubstantiated, which is why it never went anywhere, but how do you convince someone who refuses to look at truth?
That's going to be a real issue, ESPECIALLY if Trump is found guilty of more grifting. We've already seen, when Trump gets caught in a lie, his base doubles down, and destroyes America. So I think it's good to have an answer for that. A simple answer, that low-information people can read in a soundbite, because that's all they "might" be willing to do.
What do you say to the "Whadabout Hillary" crowd?
Whataboutism is when a person doesn't have core values and is simply attempting to justify behavior based on who did it.
Can the Archive have copies, or know where an item is kept under strict control?
IIRC, they have been trying to get these paper since inauguration day.
That’s part of the point here that nobody wants to talk about, probably because it requires two brain cells to process the thought, which all of the brilliant liberal minds here seem to be lacking.
There are all sorts of issues here … not just who owns or controls these documents. How about chain of custody? If someone tries to claim Trump illegally took documents, they would have to first prove that HE actually took them, and not just that he didn’t have the right to have them. The first would be impossible to prove, unless it could be proven that Trump ordered someone to specifically take those documents in question. Chain of custody … obviously Trump isn’t packing and moving boxes personally. He has staff that handle the labor of moving, right?
The second issue here is all of this hype about “classified documents”, as if the president of the United States isn’t cleared to handle classified documents. What a brain dead thing is this? The president has the power to classify AND declassify documents.
Thirdly, what is the critical nature of these specific documents that require a raid? Are they containing some crucial national security information they suspect Trump was planning to secretly give the Rooskies?
It’s obvious what is going on here. And the numbskulls who cheer this demonstration of a third world dictatorship are just idiots.
You're assuming the FBI followed the law. Why would they start now?
You are assuming Trump followed the law and this is political. And I believe the FBI followed the law for reasons stated below.
What I assume is that Garland went to a federal judge, presented why he needed a search warrant and was granted one. And I assume they left a copy of the warrant and a list of what was taken at Mar a Lago. Trump's lawyers can call the feds or even the judge and get more details. If they failed to follow the rules I would assume that the evidence the gathered could not be used against Trump whoever they are after. So I don't think they would do that.
So Trump saying he does not know why they were there is lying.
That happened to me every day for over forty years. I am so glad i was never important.
"First they came for Trump, but I did not speak out because I do not hide confidential presidential records in my home"
