So often these days, I find myself saying, “We couldn’t make this up if we tried.” And I always mean it. But this time I really… REALLY mean it.
The insanity coming out of Donald Trump’s legal team in the days and weeks since the August 8th FBI search and seizure warrant raid against his Mar-a-Lago compound has undoubtedly become more and more unhinged as the situation grows more and more damning for their client with each passing moment. It’s gotten to the point, in recent weeks, that Donald’s lawyers can’t even seem to get their stories straight in the courtroom, to even remotely line up with the excuses and explanations that Trump continues to peddle to the public.
But this… This was an entirely new level of absolutely insane.
Trump attorney Alina Habba sat down for a chummy interview on Newsmax’s John Bachman Now this week, where the topic of the bombshell Mar-a-Lago raid unsurprisingly took up a good portion of their segment.

Habba chirped on about how “diverse” the crowds are at Donald Trump’s not-campaign rallies, and went off on a tangent about the FBI allegedly ransacking Melania and Barron Trump’s bedrooms during their search and seizure warrant raid of the Palm Beach compound. Eventually, Newsmax’s John Bachman turned to question the Trump attorney about the recent revelation that FBI agents ultimately seized a total of 48 “empty folders with classified markings” from the ex-president’s estate.
“And then the other thing, too, that we can’t get past is that these envelopes, most of them were empty. What does that tell us?” Bachman asked with a laugh.
What came out of Habba in response was one of those things you seriously just have to hear for yourself to even believe.
“I don’t know,” the attorney answered, before swinging into a rant about an Instagram meme she claimed to have recently seen.
“I saw this meme that was very funny on Instagram, I believe it was. And it said it’s amazing. At first, it was the codes to the nuclear weapons. Now it’s invisible classified documents. You know, it could mean anything. I don’t know,” Habba said before going on to answer the hosts’ question, ultimately laughing it off entirely, “It could mean that they gave those documents to NARA and to the FBI prior, as we know, which they had done. It could mean there was nothing in them. It could mean they’re invisible.”
“If you’re not in the administration, I truly don’t know. You know, what I do know is that we have seen that this was far-reaching. They have admitted and the judge has acknowledged, which I appreciate, that they were cooperating and that there was history of them asking for a special master the day after the raid and that the DOJ denied it, which is why there was delay,” the Trump attorney went on to rage.
“So I’m really proud of how the judge laid out all these facts well. And made it clear that they were we were doing everything that our team needed to do,” Habba added, praising the Trump-appointed judge’s decision to grant Donald’s demands for a special master to review the documents that were seized from his country club turned personal residence, and prevent the DOJ from reviewing or utilizing the material and further in their investigation.
The news of the empty classified folders found at Mar-a-Lago has left speculations and theories running rampant, ever since the Justice Department released the itemized list of their findings from the FBI raid. Many have wondered if Donald Trump hid, destroyed, or relocated certain materials or intel in an effort to hang onto the documents, possibly for future “leverage.”
