Great article. There are some spelling errors that can make you come across as amateurish.

I agree that the spelling errors are a disservice to the Murray name. ;-)

The man needs an editor or spell check.

Amateurish??? Certainly not to anyone who knows who Murray Waas is.

"Hutchinson personally witnessed Meadows remove the papers from the White House and place them in the trunk of her car to take home." So... the papers got put in Cassidy's car? Not sure this makes any sense given the rest of the article Murray.

The article later clarifies that the boxes of documents were loaded into *Meadow's* car... obviously this (great!) article was rushed to publication with many typos. And that's ok.

Apologies for that. We fixed it.

Does Substack allow edits to original posts? This one should be fixed ASAP.

This shows the shocking lack of regard for the importance of Classified documents, which doesn't surprise me, TBH. But I expect that there will be some version of, "Well, they thought they were declassifying the documents, so they meant well" as a defense, and some MAGA juror will prevent a guilty verdict.

And it's VERY convenient the Solomon and Hemingway don't recall the identity of the person at DOJ who sent the documents.

Nobody who is a journalist fails to keep meticulous records. I do not believe either of them.

Sure, John Solomon, sure, sure.

We know they're all crooks. We're just waiting for consequences.

Murray reported:

*****Richard Immerman, served as an Assistant Deputy Director of National Intelligence, during the George W. Bush administration, and was the chairman of the State Department’s Historic Advisory Committee for more than a decade. He told me that he believes that Meadows’ removal of the records to his home violated federal law. He further opined that the documents remain classified because of the slip-shod and incomplete effort to make them public.

“It is clear that both Trump and Meadows unequivocally violated both the spirit and the letter of the Presidential Records Act”—Trump by directing Meadows to remove the documents to his home in the first place, and Meadows by doing so, Immerman told me.*****

A speculative question arises:

Is an immunity deal for Meadows part of Jack Smith's strategy to convict the former guy?

I hope not, considering Meadows violated the law on protecting govt records many dozens or hundreds of times. Depending upon the nature of the classified info released to Solomon and Hemingway, he may have also violated the Espionage Act.

He may also have gotten limited immunity in order to gain info on the Bigger Fish, ie Trump.

Prosecutorial discretion??

Also for seizure of properties used in commission of espinage we have MAL, Bedminster. private plane used to transport from MAL to NJ. I'm confident there are hidden docs in other trump locs.

Where did Meadows take his batches of stolen secret docs? Is he still holding them after 2+ years? Are they locked in his bathroom? Important to know where the docs were taken for seizures of property used in commission of espionage.

Very good questions. Thanks!

You need a proofreader/editor. It's quite distracting and impacts your credibility when you're already publishing on a site associated with ametuers and grifters.

It appears clear that docs were taken to the NJ summer home but does anyone have a clue why wasn't there a search of that location? In fact one of disclosures to others occurred there, didn't it?

Or has a different secret grand jury been looking into that?

Excellent and damning informative piece ... note: I believe you mean "Hutchinson testified" rather than "Meadows testified" in one of the grafs about mid-article

‘I know that he was with going to give them to—he had the intention to give [them] to Mollie Hemingway and John Solomon that night, but I don’t know if they ever made the trip or if they ended up in their hands,” Meadows testified.

shouldn't that say Hutchinson testified?

Good reporting. However, I noticed several typos in the piece, which also seemed rushed. Professionalism is crucial in journalism for maintaining credibility and reader trust.

Keep up the good work!
