According to Just the News, the coordinated effort allowed the FBI “to review evidence retrieved from Mar-a-Lago this spring and eliminat[e] the 45th president’s claims to executive privilege, according to contemporaneous government documents reviewed by Just the News.”
The memos show then-White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su was engaged in conversations with the FBI, DOJ and National Archives as early as April, shortly after 15 boxes of classified and other materials were voluntarily returned to the federal historical agency from Trump’s Florida home.
By May, Su conveyed to the Archives that President Joe Biden would not object to waiving his predecessor’s claims to executive privilege, a decision that opened the door for DOJ to get a grand jury to issue a subpoena compelling Trump to turn over any remaining materials he possessed from his presidency. -JTN

The effort was summarized across several memos and emails exchanged throughout various agencies in spring 2022, with the most complete account contained in a lengthy May 10 letter from acting National Archivist Debra Steidel Wall to former President Trump’s lawyers.
“On April 11, 2022, the White House Counsel’s Office — affirming a request from the Department of Justice supported by an FBI letterhead memorandum — formally transmitted a request that NARA provide the FBI access to the 15 boxes for its review within seven days, with the possibility that the FBI might request copies of specific documents following its review of the boxes,” she wrote, revealing that Biden had empowered the National Archives to waive any potential executive privilege claims.
“The Counsel to the President has informed me that, in light of the particular circumstances presented here, President Biden defers to my determination, in consultation with the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel, regarding whether or not I should uphold the former President’s purported ‘protective assertion of executive privilege,” the letter continues. “… I have therefore decided not to honor the former President’s ‘protective’ claim of privilege.”

TPTB must really think the end is near.
Otherwise all they are doing is setting precedent of what shenanigans can be applied to them in the future…
It is the age old story of going for the King. If you kill him, you will be in power forever, but if you don’t finish the job, you will yourself be killed. This is designed to be the killshot so they can remain in power forever. Elections will be nothing more than confirmation of their candidates, just like the old Soviet Union.
This goes well beyond the typical tactics of discrediting and financially crippling or bankrupting opponents.
Trump, his family, and associates have been harassed unceasingly and will continue to be targeted by the Establishment power structure embedded in DC. Federal agencies have become corrupted politically and weaponized against the people they are sworn to protect and it doesn’t look good for American citizens who aren’t quite ready to be pushed into a police state just yet.
At some point with enough time and power, the idiots and psychopaths running the show will go beyond simple graft and start disappearing people, suspending even a pretense of law and fair treatment simply to sustain the bureaucracy’s power. America isn’t exceptional in that regard.

You mean like they are doing to people who trespassed in the Capitol and have been held in jail without bond for 1 1/2 years?
Trumps strategy is (somewhat) simple:
1. Trump gets arrested…
2. The country/world is shocked…
3. Trumps base is energized/angered…
4. Mid-terms take place…
5. Red sweep of all races…
6. Trump installed as Speaker of House by new Red majorities of Senate/House…
7. CONgress impeaches Biden and Kamala…
8. Trump re-installed as President…
9. Economy rockets to Da Moon…
Get it now???
you forgot the sarc tag
1) If Trump has the goods, he should’ve made the documents public by now. He still can – I’m sure he’s had made multiple copies made, in both hard and digital format. Release the documents already!
2) What difference will clear, unassailable documentary evidence make? We’ve had clear, unassailable evidence of Hunter and Joe’s criminality for almost 2 years and nothing has happened. Why does anyone think this will be any different?
Such intrigue is merely a smokescreen and helps drive the narratives the regime is using to stay in power.
Whether he’s in on it or not, there’s no doubt keeping the Trump drama close to elections has helped the ruling regime. And the timing of this one is totally predictable. Look for the situation to escalate to the necessary October Surprise in 3, 2, 1….
LOL. Is this a comedy or a tragedy?
Keeping hopes up and looking for an opportunity here, no need for distractions.
Taco Jill, “I’m so grateful I was vaccinated.”
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Biden is a puppet.
Unbeknown to the sheep, this is the unauthorized 3rd term of Sotero, working behind the scenes with a multitude of accomplices, pulling the strings to destroy all enemy threats to his handler’s plans for the degradation and destruction of a once noble country. America no more existe.
Soros, Schwab, and Gates and others, per the instructions of the two R’s.

Eugenics, Wealth, Power, Control.
Concentrated.
Trump stands no chance.
DeSantis will suffer the same type of takedown, after any of his supporting public is given the illusion of hope.
Carpe Diem and enjoy what precious few pleasures and liberties you still have access to.
Doubtful that things will improve and justice might prevail over wicked intentions.
The world our grand children inherit will most likely be a much worse standard of living.
Weeping, and gnashing of the teeth. Pray. Get right with God, whatever you perceive Him to be.
Yep. This has the same sulphurious smell of the weaponized 0bama regime’s IRS, DoJ & ATF.
I wonder how many of Biden’s orders have been stopped by those who control him?
Someone ordered the raid, but Biden, seriously?
Remember when Obummer visited the WH earlier this year?
Biden was completely ignored by all attending………….
If it has my name on it or refers to me in any way, I’ve always held the perception the information and circumstances should be subject to my personal review whether it’s favorable or derogatory.
It’s my name and I own it, and anything associated with it shouldn’t be in the possession of a third party willing to hide or leverage my name and reputation without my permission.
I despise certain methods of secrecy, especially when it’s in the wrong hands for the wrong reasons. Others certainly feel the same way.
Nah this wasn’t the “killshot” designed so they can remain in power
Next move is assassinating trump. Probably coordinating plans already with the CIA.
Headlines when he starts campaigning will sound like “trump jet downed over …..,” or “Gunman opens fire on trump at ….”
All they wanted at mar-a-lago was to grab a
handful of panties to sniff
