| BLUF: [American Thinker] Every single one of those highlighted words is completely wrong. Those classifications (which should not have been leaked, of course) come from pencil pushers; that is, hired bureaucrats assigned those classifications to the documents. There is only one person in the land who can officially classify and declassify documents, and that is the President of the United States. He gets that plenary power through the Constitution and the will of We the People, who elected him. To the extent bureaucrats assign classifications to documents, they do so only through delegated power. No matter how many little red rubber stamps they use to mark up documents, it is the president who has the final say. Not the Department of Justice, not the FBI, and certainly not some soggy little bureaucrats in the National Archives. |

| #6 It is an attempt to remove documents that make many powerful bozos look bad from the control of Trump. The raid ignores the law and The Constitution because they are desperate. They didn't need access to these documents, which are only copies. They hold the master copies already. Their need is for us to never have access to these classified documents. |

| #5 Feels like an attempt to but the Bureaucrats above the Constitution. |

| #2 USA Today - DOJ says some privileged documents identified in screening of seized Mar-a-Lago documents The Justice Department notified a federal judge Monday that authorities had identified a "limited set of materials" seized in this month's search of former President Donald Trump's Florida estate that may contain information protected by attorney-client privilege. In a brief court filing, Justice officials said they had completed the review of those materials and are addressing any privilege "disputes." The Justice Department filing comes after U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon signaled her intent to appoint a special master to serve as a third-party screener of documents seized from Trump's Mar-a-Lago property. But the new Justice filing indicates that federal authorities had already assigned a so-called "privilege review team" to do much the same thing that the Trump lawyers had requested: sorting and excluding material that may not be relevant or information that may be designated as privileged.

| #1 Not to mention the non-trivial issue of attorney-client privilege which has been grossly violated. |
