Surveilance states cost money and the Boomers are retiring, taking money out of the system. How do they plan to pay for it when getting a loan will be harder and harder?

It's from Danger 5, also famous for originating the 'sensible chuckle' meme.

Beyond everything else at the very least you can tell its fake because they are all neatly laid on the floor, face up in the same direction. Who the hell is breaking their backs sorting through papers on the floor like that, especially a rich dude that probably has a comfy chair/table/sofa. If they had dropped the papers they would be facing all directions and some on the other side.

There is no claim that that's how they found them. That's... Just dumb. They laid them out on a convenient flat surface, and included the evidence log number and ruler for reference, showed the pertinent aspects (classification levels and some identifying info) whilst obscuring everything that is classified. That is in fact all completely standard and normal. It's not like forensic crime scene photography where they get shots of everything undisturbed to show exactly where everything was for later reference, though it's quite likely they did take such photos too, and the release of these ones in no way contraindicates or precludes that.

 

[Megadeath]

They took pictures of it without proper authority too.
That alone is a crime, if they are supposedly still classified

Where do you get the idea they didn't have authority? If they were sending agents to retrieve classified material, it stands to reason that they'd need to be cleared for that info. As for the photos, they very carefully don't reveal and info. There is no disclosure of classified information, so what exactly do you imagine the crime is? That they found and saw the documents they were meant to retrieve?

It is illegal to even do exactly what they did . They were not given clearance to one, publish those classified documents, unless they wrote it....
Basically, they still broke the law by taking pictures like that, without proper sanitization.
Because the editing of the photos happend after words, and potentially allowed someone who doesn't have th clearance to see it.

If they were not already declassified by the president

Photographing evidence is inherently necessary, and all handling would be done by people who specifically would be cleared. I don't think they took the photos to the local kmart for development, ya know? It also wasn't them who published the pictures. This wasn't from some random agents instagram account. The DOJ had the photo properly redacted, and it was attached (As necessary) to a court filing. So... No, you are wrong.

I have to admit, since we know that the FBI went there specifically expecting to find classified documents, it would be at least a bit strange if they were unprepared to deal with finding classified documents.

You're right, and that entire story is a giant nothingburger.

There is no evidence of wrongdoing by the FBI here, with these photos.

Trump was impeached for far far less.

 

[Sobek]

Trump was a outsider. Biden is the selected puppet.

Hell I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out Biden is being honest when he says he ordered no such op and it was in fact his handlers having hik rubber stamp the order. Joe doesn't run shit.

 

[Megadeath]

That doesn't actually read as Biden ordering the operation. Just as him requesting the documents. Which, as the new president he was absolutely in his right to do.

We have already established that your not an American citizen. Have you ever considered that you don't know what your talking about on this issue.?

To be fair, a couple people I know with some more knowledge of government procedure and law agree that this does not demonstrate anything beyond Biden requesting the documents.

It could mean that he was aware of the whole thing, which the press secretary specifically said he wasn't.

Even if it doesn't mean that, at absolute best it means that Biden has no effective leash on a rampant FBI, and more likely means much worse things.
