What is the importance of the missing binder ?
FBI raid of Mar-A-Lago speculated to be: “hunting for a 10-inch binder of declassified information detailing how former CIA Director John O. Brennan ordered the initial spying operation into Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.”
“The CIA has kept much of the information in the binder secret, according to the source, and the location of the binder is unknown, even to the former president, say those connected to him.”
“America First Legal, led by Mr. Trump’s former White House policy director, Stephen Miller, sued the National Archives and Records Administration for the material in March 2023 on behalf of reporter John Solomon.
The government argued that access to the material should be denied because “the record received from the White House on January 20, 2021, was not the same as the ‘binder’ that existed at the White House” and Mr. Trump’s staff “altered the collection and transferred a different, diminished set of materials” to the Department of Justice.”

Anon thinks we need to FOIA both of these collections: the original binder of information given to Trump admin regarding CIA Director John O. Brennan’s ordered spying operation into Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, and the “altered collection” received from the WH on 1/20/21 given to the DOJ by the Trump Admin
More highlights from the linked article:
“House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence who said committee staffers uncovered evidence that Mr. Brennan asked the Five Eyes intelligence alliance to spy on 26 Trump campaign associates in the months leading up to the election.”
“Mr. Brennan allegedly made the request in March 2016 when he led the spy agency and when Mr. Trump had greatly expanded his lead in the Republican presidential primary.”
“upends the Obama administration’s explanation for how and why it began Crossfire Hurricane.”
“(Which) contradicts the FBI’s explanation that it began spying on Mr. Trump’s campaign in July 2016. The agency has said it started the investigation only after receiving unsolicited information from foreign allies who had discovered, incidentally, that Mr. Trump’s advisers were working with Russians to damage Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.”
“The source said Mr. Brennan, not randomly discovered evidence of collusion, spurred the investigation.”
“House Republicans have long accused the Obama administration of illegally and baselessly spying on the former president.
“The only thing we got wrong about it is, it was worse than we thought,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican.”
