That sounds pretty cold and boring but when you find the right person to tell the story... it is anything but... and that person is NOT me. I add commentary but leave the hefty nuance to the experts. I have debilitating brain fog so please, if I missed something...add it in a comment. I would like this to be a fairly comprehensive depository (repository? Is online storage a deposit?) of information, albeit not as professionally done as some might like.
Before you begin, know that tRUMP was filing late, had a lawyer, M. Evan Corcoran, file for him but it is a jumbled mess and... he is filing Pro Se... which literally means he is REPRESENTING HIMSELF! His struggle to find lawyers is also very real.

I have not read Emptywheel's analysis, but she is usually good for the cold hard facts, even though she sucks at nuance. And like me can get bogged down and be too literal , but man, she notices things no one else can , especially in huge document filings.

CNN Clown Hall Questions:

COLLINS: What do you mean? tRUMP: “Not that I can think of… I have the absolute right to do whatever I want with them.”

Lawyer Michael Popock reminds that tRUMP is an indicted co-defendant and his being released on his own recognizance includes being lawful. tRUMP's lies about LEOs like the FBI out them under threat of possible violence. Also, IT WAS NOT A RAID. It was a scheduled visit under a lawful and WARRANTED search warrant, knowing that there were many more documents in tRUMP's possession. He also discusses the gag order, and why. Jack Smith is insisting that Cannon cooperate and moderate his release order to include new restrictions or ... there will be a request for her removal..

This documents trial was supposed to have begun this week ... even after all of the pro-tRUMP biased Cannon delays, but now she says that the jury would not understand the complexity of the legal principles involved in the case (She means she doesn't) and so has delayed the trial indefinitely.

UPDATE 75
Remember when the video of tRUMP and his boxes being boarded for Bedminster, New Jersey surfaced last year? One of the people who moved those boxes did an exclusive interview with CNN.
"Trump employee 5," Brian Butler, spoke out about tRUMP and his 20 year's working relationship with tRUMP. He quit in November 2022 because of the criminal case and has since been cooperating with the investigation.
Butler helped load those boxes at the same time tRUMP met with re DOJ about the documents.
Good to know that a criminal investigation developing around him brought him to his senses... but I find it hard to believe that someone claiming a moral stance would just suddenly claim a moral compass after 20 years working for a criminal. Colour me skeptical...
UPDATE 73
With a continued position that he is immune to prosecution because he can do no wrong, tRUMP is insisting that he truly is above the law and has absolute immunity. CASE DISMISSED!
tRUMP insists they are his boxes, and says he meant to take classified documents and wished he had taken more, and that he could flush them, and use them as scrap paper to-do lists. And besides, you let him get away with all of this shit, so this is just one more thing:

Sept 8: It is hilarious that CNN has been hammering into the public that there is a new 'breaking' story that Yuscil Tarveras had flipped when that was covered in the Aug 1 UPDATE #68. I am trying to Boycott CNN, but they are embedded into my Youtube timeline with 4 videos on the subject, FFS... Man, they suck!
Sept 7: tRUMP's original lead attorney on the classified documents case, Evan Corcoran, made audio memos after having conversations with tRUMP about the DOJ subpoena and possible subsequent FBI involvement. He warned tRUMP in person at Mar-a-Lago, and soon after, 'Corcoran got his own warning from another Trump attorney: If you push Trump to comply with the subpoena, "he's just going to go ballistic," Corcoran recalled.'
The reason for the audio tapes was because what tRUMP was asking him to do and repeatedly asked him to do was illegal, which is also why a judge ruled this was proof of a crime and no longer attorney client privileged. (CYA in other words)

tRUMP reposted this threat which also contained his campaign logo for 2024 and a short, vile threatening message.
“If you f*ck around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.”
Is he calling on his military snipers? His Proudboys? His Oathkeepers? His loyal government people who can screw with computers, checques like social security, the grid and who knows what else? He threatened and almost succeeded with January 6... He is a stochastic terrorist that should be in jail, not running for president again, FFS! *ADDENDUM: The clip has been found to be from an interview with fellow asshole Rush Limbaugh speaking about Iran, but the 2024 campaign logo and him reposting it just as he gets a Jan 6 target letter and has to decide if he will testify before a Grand Jury is not a coinicidence... The threat cannot be about Iran and the judge should MAKE him testify to ask as it could just as well be a threat against him and the jury.
It also mirrors this threat that his "passionate" MAGA minions will be dangerous if there is jaol time, spoken in a thinly veiled word salad threat said in tRUMP code...

‘The Oath Keepers did not just draw supporters from the professions they explicitly targeted. Also included in the membership list were religious figures, teachers, civil engineers, and government employees.

Here is her schedule:
Calendar call in this matter will be held on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at 1:45 p.m. in the

Agreeing with tRUMP's attorneys for the delay:
“This is a CIPA case, which although on its own may not be a fact warranting designation of this case as complex under the Speedy Trial Act, strongly counsels in that direction here given the substantial quantities of classified discovery, anticipated CIPA briefing and the need for Defendants and the Court to adequately review the classified discovery under appropriate safeguards and following resolution of pending logistics,” Cannon wrote. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/07/21/trump-trial-date-classified-documents/

Judge Cannon makes an order in the Trump CRIMINAL CASE denying Smith being able to keep the 82 witnesses names hidden. So tRUMP cannot speak about them, but the public/Q/fake militias/ MAGA minions can harass, threaten, bribe, hurt, intimidate via their families?

June 15, 2023 Jack Smith filed this under the CIPA, which not only makes this a serious case, but also assures that Judge Cannon takes it seriously. 18a U.S. Code Compiled Act 96-456 - CLASSIFIED INFORMATION PROCEDURES ACT
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18a/compiledact-96-456
Judge Cannon has asked all parties to arrange getting classified clearance because she has to. The arrangement must be complete by tomorrow. (Just in, see pic below) *Even so, the FBI background checks and paperwork takes awhile. One more thing. This puts the kibosh onto tRUMP's theory that he had the right to wave a magic wand and declassify them. tRUMP will likely ask his lawyers to say it anyway!! The CIPA also outlines the sensitive security procedures on how to present the classified documents in court... Judge Cannon is exempt from requiring clearance... UGH! How will she be able to follow or know about protocol if she isn't a cleared subject?
Here is the signed agreement to obey the judge's orders (They call it a recognizance bond, however the f'er paid NO BOND) tRUMP is released on his own recognizance and shall not talk to witnesses, oh and no more criming. That outta do it!

UPDATE #33
Walt Nauta, (Read more in update #32 below) who moved boxes from a storage room in Maralago after the DOJ subpoena, has the same lawyer as Kash Patel, Dan Scavino, Oath Keeper Kelly Meggs, Peter Navarro and who knows who else? Lawyer Stanley Woodward.
Rather then send you to the NYT piece, this is a far better read,and likely more accurate than the tRUMP fluffers at the NYT. https://secondnexus.com/doj-witnesses-trump-documents-case
As LinnnieMae below reminds me, I am remiss for not updating. Another dastardly villian who was close to LOSER45 and entrusted to clear out non tRUMPIes in crucial positions in government, including the Pentagon, Kash Patel, will testify before a federal grand jury about the classified documents tRUMP stole and kept in Maralago.
He has been given partial immunity which compels him to testitfy ... but how compelling will it be? The man worked for Devin Nunes before tRUMP... and is an as kissing liar. “I was there with President Trump when he said ‘We are declassifying this information.’” ~ Kash Patel. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/03/trump-news-kash-patel-granted-immunity-to-testify-in-mar-a-lago-documents-case-.html
The wide eyed liars club featuring Dan Scavino and Kash Patel.
Patel's immunity means he can only be charged if the DOJ can prove he lied in testimony, or gives information in his immunized testimony that incriminates himself.

UPDATE #29
Here are a couple of stories I bookmarked and forgot to add. None of this shit was necessary ... any normal human would have capitulated, but this is how tRUMP brought himself back to life. A weak brand is better than no brand and he is familiar with the skill of corrupt lawyers and judges and perception of his power and wealth is all he needs to skate by. Delay, Deny, make it look as though he is innocent and and a victim to his MAGA moron minions and makes lots of turds to polish for the press. Sigh
1) The lying liar's liar lied. "There was apparently a docketing error and two still-sealed lists of potentially privileged FBI-seized MAL docs (A is gov docs & B is personal Trump docs) were briefly exposed; copy made its way to @ZoeTillman of Bloomberg who published them last night. The "medical documents" plural that Judge Cannon cited as part of the justification for imposing a special counsel appears to be the letter the Trump campaign made public in 2016 claiming Trump was in excellent health (h/t

UPDATE #25
Judge Qannon, as she is now dubbed, has stricken 2 portions of her order. (The rest still stands and Judge Dearie will continue scrutinizing all other documents under the order.) Cannon has totally ruined her reputation as she must have known it would be. Is it time to check her bank account and her expensive memberships that she should not be able to afford on her salary? (A la Brett Kavanaugh) https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1572966868763430912?s=20&t=lSnmSTzEwE297oQVrKAhbw

All of it can still be appealed to SCOTUS... but will LOSER45 continue on this path? Of course he will! He has been setting up ringers for some time now... Reagan's Whitehouse was taking calls from Mobster lawyer Roy cohn... tRUMP's friend. Reagan also utilized the frauds and cheats like Manafort and Stone, further bolstering their criminal careers after Nixon. The QOP has always been a criminal enterprise... https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/politics/paul-manafort-roger-stone/
The icing on the Dearie and 11th circuit cake is tRUMP saying to Hannity that the FBI were probably looking for Hillary's emails... but he made me snort laugh even more when he said he declassified everything, and states there "does not have to be a process" as just "thinking about it" will do. (See clip below)
HILARIOUS! If that is his declaration that he had no idea how it all worked, the DOJ will be happy to show him the documents he DID declassify, after a process, and which he signed declaring he knew the process...
JFC, even Johnathon Turley is rebuking tRUMP's idiocy, but the video was on FOX, where the head nodders agree with tRUMP Jesus... because he is the truthiest of truthtellers. The down thread has it explained to them like they are 8 and many still disagree... and say he HAS THE POWER, FFS...

tRUMP is not intelligent but he as cunning as a mobster. He was taught by Roy Cohn to be a master manipulator, and to surround himself with loyal yes-men, cheats, frauds, petty thieves, criminals and lawyers willing to bend the law in his favour. He doesn't care if he actually wins. He cares if he can lie and cheat to win and although people may be thinking he is losing... his shit grin is still pretty wide.
We know choosing Judge loose Cannon was a ringer... as outlined in the updates below . We also know Trump choosing Chris Kise as his lawyer was no mistake. When Kise represented Maguro,an illegally installed Dictator in Venezuela, he had to register under FARA. There is no way that he can be given the top secret clearance that will be needed to see the top secret documents, which is essentially what tRUMP's team is asking for... knowing it will never happen. It is all about delay and deny.
This is basically what happened yesterday, Sept 20. The Special Master to Trump lawyers who refused to answer which documents were classified and how:
That is not a ruling, but a statement. SM Judge Dearie also said:
You can't have your cake (saying all documents were unclassified) and eat it too (Not revealing which ones were declassified and how)...
Oddly, 🙄 outside of court, LOSER45 is saying he declassified them all... and yet, his lawyer, Trusty, told Dearie they could easily get the clearance to read top classified material and that he should start the process. (That's a lie. Some are need to know and if they have access they will then want to use it in court) So the question is, if tRUMP declassified everything, why do you think you need clearance?
tRUMP's lawyers won't let him perjure himself to say it in court that he magically declassified the documents.
People are reveling that it is a win. My head hurts. My teeth hurt. Besides tRUMP not having the right to the documents and this having been taken up by a judge in his pocket who is ruling in tRUMP's interests rather than the National security interest of the USA, people are forgetting the details... but not Marcie at Emptywheel. The delay tactics have just begun...
UPDATE #21
More updates are in the comments below
During an interview with Hugh Hewitt, LOSER 45 said that everything he took to Mar-A-Lago was declassified verbally, he has done nothing wrong concerning alternative electors and he cannot be indicted.
So not only would he run if he were about to be indicted (As Garland told him he should do just that for no reason other than speaking directly to tRUMP when he said he was following Bill Barr's memos FFS) he would have "no prohibition" against running. I cannot believe I listened to any of that shit... and I don't recommend it... Wait for the transcript. https://hughhewitt.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/09-15hhs-trump.mp3

'Trump Lawyers Respond To DOJ With Stunningly Childish Argument.' The tRUMP lawyers have refused to take this seriously, when in fact the laws being broken includes the ESPIONAGE ACT... and the tRUMP lawyers are looking only at the President's Records Act. Being tRUMP abused the espionage act, and heightened punishment for ia oart of it that he should be charged with, his pretense that he knows nothing about it is laughable... https://www.lawfareblog.com/donald-trump-and-espionage-act
September 12, Justice Dept. accepts a tRUMP candidate for special master, Raymond J. Dearie, 78, a former chief federal judge in New York. Now it is is up to MAGA Judge Cannon must to approve the Special Master or continue to delay the classified documents investigation.
He is also so old that he was a part of the time when the mob was rampant in NY and Guliani replaced Dearie as the US Attorney for that District. He may be well respected but he may also have a background with Kallstrom and tRUMP, who "cooperated" with the FBI to keep his casinos from being shut down. All 4 judges are tRUMP's choice, so know there is a background he knows about but we do not.
Judge Cannon has already shown she is working for tRUMP and is manipulating the law to rule in his favour. Her reputation is sliding into the gutter... but she seems not to care. I am not optimistic she plans to keep herself from falling further into the gutter.

Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and senior member of the Committee on Foreign Relations, Marco Rubio, has totally misrepresented the stolen classified documents as a dispute over how documents were stored. And the MAGAt judge Cannon has said that not allowing tRUMP a Special Master diminishes his "reputation," as she gleefully puts the National Security of the USA AND other countries at risk.
MAGA Republicans are by association putting the safety of the USA at risk, but these are your nations LEADERS speaking...
To further prove she is tRUMP ringer, Judge Aileen M. Cannon totally disrespected and dismissed former goverment officials who opposed LOSER45's invalid requests.

If anyone is ignoring this, and the fact it is being swept away like all tRUMP's crimes, down down the memory hole ... then those who ignore are complicit. It has been said that Garland may now choose to FOLLOW the order, as it may take less time than an appeal... which means breaking established precedent (Which tRUMP has done from day one) and letting it stand becomes a new precedent to cite.
Should he make that rueful decision the future is even more bleak. The judge is complicit by obstructing justice while making a mockery of the criminal justice system, The pillars of your government are crumbing to dust.

Judge Cannon was a ringer all along...CONFIRMED! She has totally disregarded that she has no jurisdiction in this matter, that the DOJ pointed out the many ways her delay would obstruct the investigation, ignored that this is a NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE, ignored that tRUMP had no rights as a FORMER president to claim executive privilege, ignored that the documents are NOT HIS to have in possession, to order to redo the filtering and DEMAND a special master, even though she insisted on knowing why one would not only not be necessary as the work was already done...and nothing the judge has done was called for in away way by this circumstance.
A judge is complicit in delaying justice... and the pillars of government are falling as planned. tRUMP and his loyal cult of quislings have shown Q and his minions that he is in fact still "in charge" and that they are full form facists. Be stunned by it... but not for long... because he has only just begun AGAIN... https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763/gov.uscourts.flsd.618763.64.0_2.pdf
DOJ: “The United States is examining the opinion and will consider appropriate next steps in the ongoing litigation.” They will appeal and it will be justice delayed. That also means SOB LOSER45's SCOTUS picks could make this ridiculous order the new f'ing normal. tRUMP has NO executive privileges FFS! Only the sitting President does. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-special-master-granted-1.6572962

tRUMP's TV lawyer that he hired because he looked and sounded good on TV... has made this comment in court today:
His other lawyer insists a Special Master is still necessary because...
This judge and tRUMP's lawyers are neglecting to see how the delays can effect National Security and that one of the charges is neglect of Classified documents under the Espionage Act, whereby just being in possession of the documents makes you a suspected spy and traitor. A former Fed prosecutor, Joyce Vance, is the talking head in this video should you are to see it. Vance repeats that going along with this delays an important legal process, and puts tRUMP above the law... (On top of Cannon ignoring the seals, requests to not delay, defining how sensitive the docs are, the 2 shoddy filings from tRUMP's team entered that she literally helped them refile)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb43WfKqHgA
I am not sure why the tRUMP nominated judge is doing this when the DOJ insisted that this info be kept redacted as it may affect the case... HOWEVER, in spite of that... '
The judge has released a more detailed inventory list of the materials seized from Trump's home by the FBI. What was in the 43 empty folders, where are the contents, why are they emptied, are the contents flushed, stolen, traded, sent to other properties, in Ivana's grave? https://bit.ly/3RujXwV

tRUMP is once again obstructing justice and and national security, and yet, his base still insists everything he does is fine because they love and trust him. That devotion is one definition that you are in a cult.
tRUMP appointed Judge Cannon has agreed to a special master for executive privilege of documents which tRUMP does not have, even though it was filed too late and not in legalese. (It was a tRUMP dump ) She has given the DOJ 'til Tuesday to reply and set a hearing for Sept, 01. This national security lawyer says, nicely, that she is full of shit. This is all about LOSER45 preparing to pretend to be further victimized by the DOJ and grift more donations.
A former FBI Special Agent, lawyer, Legal and national security analyst chimes in.
More on the classified docs and affidavit
Aug 26, 2022 Unsealed Trump Mar-a-Lago search warrant application cover sheet offers the DOJ’s description of potential crimes: — Wilful retention of national defense information — Concealment or removal of govt records — Obstruction of federal investigation
“Trump ignored multiple opportunities to quietly address the FBI’s concerns by turning over all the classified material in his possession — including a grand jury subpoena accepted by the Trump team May 11. Again and again, he reacted with a familiar mixture of obsession and indignation, causing some in his orbit to fear he basically dared the FBI to come after him.
It was not possible to determine who was involved in packing the boxes at Mar-a-Lago or why some White House documents were not sent to the Archives, although people familiar with the episode said Trump oversaw the process himself — and did so with great secrecy, refusing to show some evidence even to top aides. Philbin and another consultant contacted by the Archives in April told others they were not involved in the process and were surprised to discover classified records.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/08/23/trump-records-mar-a-lago-fbi/
“The National Archives found more than 700 pages of classified material — including “special access program materials,” some of the most highly classified secrets in the government — in 15 boxes recovered from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in January, according to correspondence between the National Archivist and his legal team. “ Those 700 of classified documents are not included with those recovered from the June meeting and Aug search of Mar-a-Lago. What is really laughable is that is John Solomon’s public “news” site. He must have foreseen he was about to get saddled with all kinds of felonies being tRUMP nominated Kash Patekl and he to the NARA liaison position ( which does not exist except in tRUMp’s feifdom! tRUMP did it at the same time theFBI was notified and a subpoena was issued for the documents.)
From Ms wall Nara… to tRUMP lawyer Corcoran: “ I have concluded that there is no reason to grant your request for a further delay before the FBI and others in the Intelligence Community begin their reviews. Accordingly, NARA will provide the FBI access to the records in question , as requested by the incumbent President, beginning as early as Thursday, May 12, 2022.” https://justthenews.com/government/courts-law/full-text-national-archives-letter-trump-classified-documents

This little tidbit is important... as this agent has a specialty.
He took them because he thinks he knows all, and that he can do anything. That is number 1, but he always has 10 things up his sleeve. ( See my reply below for more reasons...)
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing this.
The videotapes fascinate me. Who turned them over to the feds?
Trump isn't gonna get anything from filing documents. He'll be lucky to get a copy of the indictment they're throwing at him pretty soon.
Over 300 papers were classified, and some of them were in the highest classification.
They're not his, they're the US Government's and he's going to prison.
The sooner, the better.
300 Classified Documents that trump personally had gone through and retained.
That’s a lot of violations and a lot of penalties since they add up. Each offense carries a penalty.
I just wonder how many agents of how many foreign countries got to view and photograph them…
