Jared? Someone in Trump's security detail? The guy who makes the daily drives to McDonald's? The pool boy?
Who's the mole?

Melania.
Now if he finds out, she gets planted on a golf course.

Mick Mulvaney thinks the informant is one of only 6-8 possibilities in Trump's inner circle. I'm not so sure. The guy's so undisciplined and has such a big mouth I wouldn't be surprised if it's a lower level staffer.
I think Melania would be a more likely suspect if she and Trump hadn't had a kid together.

Has to be someone that knew of the safe. Cohen was the fixer for at least a decade and he didn't know of the MAL safe...
Even better if he's been planning his revenge and waiting for his opportunity all these long years.
He looks like a weasel that'd rat him out. But it would be entertaining
He loves being the victim, and might realizes this keeps him in the news and energizes his supporters. Also helps people donate to his cause, as that appears to have gone way up. So theoretically whomever reported it did so with Trump's knowledge and approval.
Admittedly unlikely as I don't think he would have had those most sensitive documents involved unless he just did not know how they were stamped
I agree.
Honestly, I meant the Trump suggestion as a joke. I thought I'd take a jab at defending it since mc asked.
How about Eric? I'm not sure we're looking for a Good Samaritan that specifically called the FBI to report, "Uh, I'd like to report some classified documents in the basement."
Eric told Fox that he was the point man on the day the FBI served the warrant and conducted the search. He said he had to deal with it all day long and reported everything to his father. So, sounds like he had inside knowledge pertaining to the documents.
And, I don't think Eric has the filter that Jared has to avoid off-the-cuff comments. It's easy to see Eric blurting out something that tips off the FBI that more classified documents exist.
I think it's possible someone let down his guard around federal agents and blurted out. "Damn. Can you believe some idiot made me haul all these documents down here last weekend. I don't care if they are classified -- no one will ever read them." I do think the source could be from an offhand statement.
Alito would have them shot. It's what the Founders would have done.
I wasn’t kidding about Tuttle. I don’t think there is a mole. Or if there is one Garland didn’t rely on that information. The scope of the warrant is unlimited in terms of where to search and unlimited in terms of documents. You don’t need a mole for that.
No, but you probably need a mole to make a convincing case in the affidavit (which we may never see) that a search warrant is needed.
Regardless of who the mole is, I’m still highly doubtful that anything will ever come of this.
The contents of that safe could be a paper trail directly linking Trump himself to selling nuclear secrets to the Russians/China/The Taliban and I’m convinced that Tump would see no ramifications.
Unfortunately the right mix of former US presidents being untouchable and the DOJ thinking they’d prevent social discord/potential civil war exists. I think both claims are BS, unnecessary and overblown, but it is what it is, unfortunately.

The main building at Mar-A-Lago has 126 rooms and is 62,500 square feet. According to Trump attorney Lindsey Halligan, who was on-site during the search, FBI agents searched "a bedroom, a storage area and an office."
They knew exactly what they were looking for and where to go. They were obviously tipped off.
Trump lives in a private, enclosed area that's separate from what you write above. I wonder if that's what was searched. It's actually a really cool place with an interesting history. For a while the national park service owned it and the idea was that it could be used as a winter home for presidents, but it's on the palm beach airport flight path and it couldn't be secured

I'd be happy simply to have enough come to light that is seen as disqualifying by the Republican Party.
There should be enough already. And even absent all the bs he's too old. He'd be 82 in his fourth year. My daughter and I went out for pizza last night and Paul Simon the singer was on the restaurant's tv with Derek jeter. Paul Simon looked awful. I looked him up and he's 80. The difference in most men between 70 and 80 is marked. 70 seems okay. 80 like a cadaver
The search was focused on a bedroom (Melania's wardrobe), Trump's private office and a storage area.
I’ll be there in 9 months. I’m looking for the Coolerites to throw me a party. I’ll be a cheap date, one beer limit and I’ll only drink half of that. Maybe half a burger too.
Not to totally threadjack things, but I've long-held that famous musicians seem to retain a good amount of youthfulness and health as they get older. Guys like Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Mick Jagger are all in the same age bracket as Trump, Biden and some of our more 'famous' federal legislators, yet they all appear to be much younger.
That said, I think there is no getting around looking old when you're in your late 70s/early 80s. People can still say you look good for your age, but in and of itself, that's people still saying you look old.
As a weird mind bender, Jerry Harrison from the Modern Lovers/Talking Heads was in the same class at Harvard with Chuck Schumer. I never would have guessed that if I hadn't heard Harrison say it on a recent WTF podcast I listened to.
Maybe it's something about politics sucking your soul from you while playing music recharges your soul...
That was the "Kay Rod" thing that ESPN2 does during Sunday Night Baseball. I didn't see the Paul Simon segment but caught most of the Jeter portion which was excellent.
If Trump runs again, maybe Paul Simon will give him a license to use "Still Crazy After All These Years" as his campaign song.
The tournaments I play in with my club teams always have an over 70 division. They'll have 4-6 teams. Guys in their early 70s still look okay. No one plays at 80. I think that 70-80 decade, if you make it, is when men age the fastest
You're doing good Coh. All that cycling with your stoker. I always thought I was doing good lifting heavy free weights but I'm not so sure anymore.
Biden looked young, wearing a helmet, until he fell off a bike that wasn't moving.
I think a big part of it is a head of hair (probably high-end wigs and/or hairpieces) and staying trim. Those guys (McCartney, Jagger et al.) look good from a distance and can still wear jeans and younger man clothes because they're thin. Jagger's face, though, is not a pretty sight.
Then again, I'm sure more than a few of them have gone under the knife. They've got the time and bucks for facial plastic surgery.
