Seek and ye shall find – but all this?

By BRUCE LOWITT

As a result of the discoveries, the FBI expanded its search to include Trump Tower in New York, where the source said it found dozens of photographs and papers “apparently used to blackmail the former president’s friends and foes.”

The FBI’s search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home has turned up an autographed first edition of Mein Kampf as well as what a source called “Kevin McCarthy’s unused balls.”

That discovery led to FBI searches of the homes and offices of several FOX News broadcasters and Republican senators and representatives.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the copy of Mein Kampf (My Struggle), written by Adolf Hitler while imprisoned for a failed coup in 1923 and convicted of high treason in 1924, was filled with Trump’s scribbled notes.

“He underlined stuff on pages,” the source said, “and wrote things like, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ and ‘Boy, he got that right!’ and ‘Genius!’ and ‘My generals must read this!’ and ‘Juden? What’s that?’”

The source also said that a note Trump wrote to himself and tucked into the back of the book read Get A.H. address and send him thank-you. Also ask for natl. sec. ideas.

The balls, identified as once belonging to McCarthy, R-Eunuch, House of Representatives minority leader, were described by the FBI source as “pristine, except for several of the former president’s fingerprints and some saliva,” and were found wrapped in a handkerchief in the pocket of one of Trump’s jackets.

A storage bin at Mar-a-Lago contained two thousand My Pillow packages, five hundred cases of hydroxychloroquine and fifty red neckties measuring four feet long.

The papers found in a safe in Trump Tower reportedly included Eric Trump’s shredded original birth certificate along with copies of 2016 letters from Donald Trump to CRI Genetics, Ancestry and 23andMe demanding reviews of his DNA and comparisons with what he referred to as “no freakin’ way he’s mine.”

In a copy of a letter to Vladimir Putin, Trump offers to “go halfsies” on a Moscow hotel if the Russian president will “front the construction costs. … I’ll pay you back double.”

A separate file marked Just in case contained two folders. One held 273 “full, free and absolute pardons” issued by Trump to the 50 Republican senators and 213 GOP members of the House, all of them postdated Jan. 21, 2025. The other had letters from him to Joel Steinberg, Jack Thompson, Mike Nifong and Rudy Giuliani, all of whom have been disbarred.

Also found in the safe, in an envelope labeled Gotcha in Trump’s familiar scrawl, were grainy photographs that appeared to be of FOX News personalities Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham in a menage a trois. I own you was written on the back of each picture.

It also was written on the back of a copy of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s bat mitzvah certificate. The FBI source said a search of the home of Greene, Georgia’s official hellion, turned up twenty-five Mattel cardboard toy rockets labeled “space lasers” and cans of paint matching the color of graffiti sprayed on Temple Kol Emeth synagogue in East Cobb, Ga.

A similar Gotcha message in Trump’s handwriting was found on the back of dozens of photos of Matt Gaetz, R-Lolita, each one showing him posing with prom dates from various Florida junior high schools.

A search of Giuliani’s home turned up law degrees from Fred’s Carwash and Lawyer School, Vixen’s House of Law Things, and Trump University, along with thirty-two cases of Just For Men hair coloring.
