FBI Admits to Bringing Props to Stage Crime Scene Photos at Mar-a-Lago
[AG] In a bombshell admission by the prosecutors working for Special Counsel Jack Smith, it has been revealed that the FBI brought fake props to its raid of Mar-a-Lago in order to stage the "crime scene" photos which were then widely publicized.

As reported by the Daily Caller, lead Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutor Jay Bratt admitted in a new court filing that the cover sheets reading "Top Secret" were brought on the raid by the FBI and placed over the tops of the documents before they were photographed. This would constitute tampering with evidence, as well as staging fake photos to generate public outrage as if the documents possessed by President Trump were clearly marked as confidential.

"[If] the investigative team found a document with classification markings, it removed the document, segregated it, and replaced it with a placeholder sheet," Bratt confessed in a new filing. "The investigative team used classified cover sheets for that purpose."

In addition, both the Special Counsel’s team and the defense team for President Trump have confirmed that the documents that were initially seized have since become mixed up and are now out of order, despite prior claims by the prosecution that they were preserved exactly as they had been found.

"Following defense counsel’s review of the physical boxes...and the documents produced in classified discovery, defense counsel has learned that the cross-reference provided by the Special Counsel’s Office does not contain accurate information," wrote Waltine Nauta, defense attorney for President Trump.
Nauta was Trump's aide, not Atty
More of a valet than a proper aide, it seems to me.

#1 Few should be surprised.

They bring their own classified document cover sheets. They bring their own fake pipe bombs.

So by admitting it "STAGED" a photo-op crime scene, hasn't the _ _ _ / DC Swamp just admitted it was a Political & Media Staged Bust?

#5 KJP will argue that staging is good in real estate.

#6 I am starting to think the FBI has a crime origination department.
