Here's the paragraph that references Attachment F (the photo): The investigative team has reviewed all the materials in the containers that the privilege review team did not segregate as potentially attorney-client privileged. Of the Seized Evidence, thirteen boxes or containers contained documents with classification markings,and in all, over one hundred unique documents with classification markings—that is, more than twice the amount produced on June 3, 2022, in response to the grand jury subpoena—were seized. Certain of the documents had colored cover sheets indicating their classification status. See, e.g., Attachment F (redacted FBI photograph of certain documents and classified cover sheets recovered from a container in the “45 office”). The classification levels ranged from CONFIDENTIAL to TOP SECRET information, and certain documents included additional sensitive compartments that signify very limited distribution. In some instances, even the FBI counterintelligence personnel and DOJ attorneys conducting the review required additional clearances before they were permitted to review certain documents. The purpose of the photo is obvious to anyone other than a whore like Turdley and his parrots. Lawyers who know what they are doing, follow court rules, and are ethical, actually are obliged to cite sources for factual claims made in pleadings. The paragraph makes factual statements, attempting to demonstrate to the judge that those facts are important in context, have an identifiable source, and not just pulled out of DOJ's ass. Note that many of the documents have redaction of the entire first page behind the cover sheets on many. Unlike Trump's doofus lawyers who have already filed two pleadings in this case so far with almost no citation to any documented support for their factual claims, nothing in the paragraph or Attachment F is inappropriate. If Turdley ever tried a case or even represented a client in his life, I'd guess he knows this full well. But, a whore's gotta whore if he wants to stay relevant and have his name and face in the spotlight. Worth noting is footnote 6 which is on the same page as most of the paragraph I quoted. It explains why the passports were properly seized, if anyone is interested in that little factoid the Doofus "truthed" about. :)

>> I'm straining to see what that has to do with the rule of law. It's not apparent to me why the FBI chose to include it in the filing other than to demonstrate that there really, really were classified documents found, in case the judge doubted their one sentence statement that there were. Perhaps you've forgotten that federal law enforcement is supposed to be allowing its "filings" to do the talking. Not photographs gratuitously included in such filings. I previously posted Turley's [imo, authoritative] article on the topic. I'll just post the link below. But this sentence sort of summarizes it. "When combined with the leaks from the government, there is a reasonable concern that the photo was included not for the court but for public consumption to help frame the public debate. It is striking to see so many pundits on the left expressing shock that we should doubt that claims or representations of the government, particularly after the documented history of bias and false statements by Department officials in related Trump investigations." [Wording of the 2nd sentence is Turley's, not mine, but his point is easily inferred]. FBI Faces Criticism Over Release of Photo of Classified Documents on Floor – JONATHAN TURLEY "The way that the FBI and other prosecutors treat people fairly is to keep their investigations secret so as not to subject their subjects to being tried in the court of public opinion. Throughout this exercise, the FBI has tried to keep their workings secret." Again, the photo is gratuitous. It in no way informs the content of the filing. It is there solely as a way of making a public statement. I don't think any reasonable person could conceivably conclude otherwise. Turley, above, tried as hard as any person could to justify it, and at the end of the day could not do it. This case is about politically persecuting Trump. Not about any criminal act. Prosecutors have a huge advantage here, in that DC courts have collapsed into rubber stamps against Trump. It is clear that you and other nutjob liberals want Trump prosecuted and you may get it. It will be wrongful. If they put him in jail he may well be the first president to win the White House while sitting in a jail cell. He would have my vote. There is nothing FBI or DOJ can do to ever recover its former status as fair and reasonable. They're dead to me at this point. And they're a major part of the effort to overthrow our democratic government.
