Self-sabotage or legal strategy? For Trump's Mar-a-Lago legal team, it's one in the same.
“In early June, the DOJ and FBI asked my legal representatives to put an extra lock on the door leading to the place where boxes were stored in Mar-a-Lago — We agreed,” Trump wrote in. “Then on Monday, without notification or warning, an army of agents broke into Mar-a-Lago, went to the same storage area, and ripped open the lock that they had asked to be installed.
All the while, Trump and his various direct and indirect spokespeople criticized the search and amped up anger against the search and the FBI — even after a Trump supporter was killed by law enforcement after trying to attack the FBI field office in Cincinnati on Aug. 11. After the search warrant and receipt of property were made public on Aug. 12, did Trump’s legal team then act? Nope.
And yet, as time passed, it sort of seemed like there might be no legal response at all. It wasn’t until a week after that, on Aug. 19, thatthat Trump’s “legal team” was “considering” going to court to seek the appointment of a special master — an independent party who can review any questions about the materials taken by the FBI. The issue there: It was still just word of what the Trump team was “considering.” There was no filing.
