Tecate POE Opens Saturday - Update on Empty Folders At Mar-a-Lago - We're Having a Heatwave !
This helps with the heat - icy cold: you can get them cheap at amazon. Right now, it is 106 degrees here, very very slight breeze and boy it is hot. Mike came home early and he was sick from the heat, Paris hates it and Rubio & Totsie want me to turn on the A/C. I gave Mike a tea, tried to get him to take a cool shower, turned the A/C on only in the bedroom for the him & the babies, I'm down here wilting. It's just a shame you cannot go (even in Ensenada) in the ocean because of the contamination and limited monitoring.
We are lifting all evacuation orders and road closures related to the Border 32 Fire. Read our news release here: https://bit.ly/3cI9nnn. We thank the public and the media for their cooperation. #Teamwork
The Tecate port of entry will re-open Saturday (Sept 3) at 6 am and is expected to remain open for usual hours (6 am to 10 pm daily.) CBP will continue to coordinate with local officials about conditions from the #border32fire to ensure the safety of all at the crossing

Christ almighty - where's the shit that was IN the folders? Nail him DOJ !
"US District Judge Aileen Cannon on Friday released a detailed inventory from the Mar-a-Lago search that the Justice Department previously filed under seal in court.
The
search inventory released showed that classified documents had been
mixed in with personal items and other materials in the boxes in which
they were stored.
Federal
investigators also retrieved more than 11,000 non-classified government
documents from former President Donald Trump's Florida home and resort.
One box containing documents marked with confidential, secret and top secret classification
identifications also contained "99 magazines/newspapers/press
articles," according to the inventory from last month's search filed in
federal court in Florida.
Several
other boxes detailed in the inventory contained documents marked as
classified stored with press clippings, as well as with articles of
clothing and gifts.
The
court filing also provided a breakdown of the type of markings on the
classified material taken from Mar-a-Lago, including 18 documents marked
top secret, 54 documents marked secret and 31 documents marked
confidential.
Dozens of empty folders
Among the documents the FBI seized were dozens of empty folders that carried "classified" banners, according to the inventory.
There
were more than 48 empty folders with a "classified" banner and 42 empty
folders marked to return to the staff secretary or a military aide, DOJ
said.
Those
kinds of folders are designed to intentionally obscure their contents
and are often reused, according to multiple sources familiar with White
House procedures for handling classified information. In some instances,
these folders have a tracking number, two of the sources said, although
such cases are rare.
For
some current and former intelligence officials, the empty folders were
an alarming signal that unknown classified information may go
unaccounted for by federal investigators, who may have a difficult time
piecing together what information those folders previously contained --
much less what happened to it.
But
because those folders are often reused, one source familiar with these
kinds of documents cautioned that merely finding an empty folder is not
necessarily an indication that any of the information it previously
contained has been mishandled.
"Empty
folders raise questions, but were they empty and without descriptive
info?" this person said.

contained has been mishandled.
"Empty
folders raise questions, but were they empty and without descriptive
info?" this person said. "Putting a cover sheet on a folder and carrying
it with multiple docs inside is often done. Akin to finding cover
sheets, which are often laying around in classified environments and in
and of themselves not an issue."
In
other words, without more information about how these folders were
marked -- including whether they included any kind of tracking or
control number -- it's unclear how easy it would be to determine their
past contents.
Still,
investigators may be able to piece together some contextual clues,
according to the same sources. There are supposed to be records kept of
what classified information goes to the president. And one of the
sources noted that the National Archives this spring informed the
Justice Department that the records it recovered from Mar-a-Lago in
January included classified material that was "unfoldered, intermixed
with other records and otherwise unproperly identified."
The
inventory also references dozens of folders that are marked as "Return
to Staff Secretary/Military Aide." Typically, when the president needs
to access materials for a briefing, a military aide or other staff
member assigned to the White House is responsible for safeguarding those
materials. The president will read the material, make whatever use of
it he wishes, then return it to that aide for appropriate handling.
DOJ status report cites 'ongoing investigation'
The
judge also released a status report the department filed under seal
about its investigative team's review of the evidence so far.
Cannon
at a hearing on Thursday indicated she intended to release the
documents. She did so after giving both the prosecutors and Trump's
lawyers the opportunity to lodge any objections to the documents'
release. They did not.
Prosecutors
wrote in the investigative team status report that was unsealed that
"all evidence pertaining to the seized items -- including, but not
limited to, the nature and manner in which they were stored, as well as
any evidence with respect to particular documents or items of interest
-- will inform the government's investigation."
"The
investigative team has reviewed the seized materials in furtherance of
its ongoing investigation, evaluating the relevance and character of
each item seized, and making preliminary determinations about
investigative avenues suggested or warranted by the character and nature
of the seized items," the status report said.
"The
seized materials will continue to be used to further the government's
investigation, and the investigation will continue to use and evaluate
the seized materials as it takes further investigative steps, such as
through additional witness interviews and grand jury practice," the
Justice Department added."
