The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

...by putting Trump's documents into a bunch of CLASSIFIED TOP DOUBLE SECRET (or whatever) folders that they themselves brought. These photos were then splashed all over the media.

Oh, and it turns out that there's an interesting reason why the docs were even there in the first place. Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, Julie Kelly:

The DOJ's Doctored Crime Scene Photo of Mar-a-Lago Raid
New disclosures in Special Counsel Jack Smith's espionage case against Donald Trump reveal the FBI tampered with evidence to create the infamous photo--and DOJ has lied about it for nearly two years.


Biden's Deep State DOJ lying? Say it isn't so!!!

A few weeks after the armed FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, the Department of Justice released a stunning photograph depicting alleged contraband seized from Donald Trump’s Palm Beach estate that day; the image showed colored sheets representing scary classification levels attached to files purportedly discovered in Trump’s private office.

Included as a government exhibit to oppose Trump’s lawsuit requesting a special master to vet the 13,000 items taken from his residence, the crime scene pic immediately went viral—just as Attorney General Merrick Garland, who authorized the unprecedented raid, intended.


Because the Deep State knows that the best way to try a political figure is in the court of public opinion.

But before the official cover sheets were used as placeholder, agents apparently used them as props. FBI agents took it upon themselves to paperclip the sheets to documents—something evident given the uniform nature of how each cover sheet is clipped to each file in the photo—laid them on the floor, and snapped a picture for political posterity.

That raises many troubling questions, to say the least, about the FBI’s handling of the alleged incriminating documents.


Read on. That case was always bogus, and is more or less doomed, but it's still interesting to read how far the FBI will go.
