The FBI raided the Mar a Lago home of Donald Trump this morning. democrats are frothing in excitement over the news, but none seem to have a grasp on the facts. The raid is said to have to do with classified documents allegedly removed from the White House. The warrant was approved by Merrick Garland, who managed to find time to do this when he’s been so busy threatening school child mothers.
Here’s where this goes off into the weeds:
The two sources, both briefed on the raid, said the agents who executed the search were from the Washington Field Office, the same office that whistleblowers recently complained to Sen. Charles Grassley was involved in political meddling into investigations involving Trump and Hunter Biden.
That same DC Field Office has been accused of abuse of power by whistleblowers.
The documents sought in the raid were already marked declassified because Trump declassified them.
Kash Patel, a former top Trump administration official, told Breitbart News on Wednesday that a report claiming classified materials were found at Mar-a-Lago is misleading and that the documents were actually already declassified by then-President Donald Trump, but the classification markings had not been updated.
On Hannity John Solomon posited a scenario-
- The very same thing happened in 2015 when Hillary Clinton took classified materials with her when she left the obama regime but it’s being handled very, very differently
The raid, if accurately described by the sources, stands in stark contrast to how the FBI dealt with similar allegations of mishandled classified emails by Hillary Clinton. In that case, the FBI worked through her lawyer, David Kendall, and even allowed Kendall to hold onto alleged classified materials inside a specialized safe in his office rather than conduct a raid.
But then, we know that a two-tiered justice system has been established in this country- one for the left and a much harsher one for the right.
- There is great curiosity as to why a Grand Jury subpoena wasn’t presented instead of a raid
- One week ago Judicial Watch sued to have these very documents released:
The conservative watchdog Judicial Watch has sued the Justice Department to compel the release of “smoking gun” documents former President Donald Trump declassified and ordered release that detail misconduct in the FBI’s discredited Russia collusion investigation.
The suit was filed one week ago and announced today. Quite the coincidence.
- The raid was conducted by the very office that whistleblowers said were involved in political tampering, according to Chuck Grassley. Solomon said the agent in charge opened an investigation into Trump without predicate and closed downan investigation into Hunter Biden.
This might seem a good time for the Director of the FBI to take a powder, which he did.
- Solomon said that the Assistant Special Agent in Charge from the DC Field Office was removed by Wray but the FBI still went on to conduct the raid.
- The President is the ultimate decider on what is declassified or not, so Trump could not possess classified material if he already declassified it.
Alan Dershowitz tonight:
“The raid is supposed to be a last resort,” he said. “But this administration has used the weaponization of the justice system against its political enemies. It has arrested people, denied them bail, put them in handcuffs – used all kinds of techniques that are not usually applied to American citizens. I just hope this raid has the justification. If it doesn’t have the justification, the materials seized in it will be suppressed.”
“This is improper, and this is misconduct,” Dershowitz added. “We have to find out what the facts are. But we have to make sure the shoe fits on the other foot – that we want to make sure what is being one here is something that Democrats would not oppose if it were being done to Democratic operatives, as well.”
The White House claims it had no advance warning- which is utterly unbelievable. Twitter is awash is all kinds of wild speculation based on nothing but hatred, which is amusing as they haven’t the first damned idea what they’re talking about.
A pre-dawn raid on the home of a former President ninety days before midterm elections- a likely candidate for President in 2024. This is blatant abuse of power by a corrupt FBI, a corrupt DOJ and the corrupt Biden regime. The FBI already has falsified FISA warrants. Does anyone believe it took 18 months to get to this point? And now we’re getting another 87,000 IRS agents? It doesn’t get any worse.
I think there’s something in documents that Biden’s Fourth Reich desperately wants not to see the light of day- proof of FBI misconduct. The Biden regime is the most corrupt in the history of this country.
This is likely going to blow up in the faces of the left. Worse for them, they may have just locked something up, but not Donald Trump.
They may have locked up his reelection.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
This is tyranny.
TYRANNY.
This is the final stage of a federal criminal investigation. A warrant for a high profile, politically sensitive raid like this would have had to clear a VERY high probable cause hurdle. Allegations alone wouldn’t be enough.
@Greg
This is the final stage of our democratic republic. It is the precursor to a totalitarian police state. You leftists get giddy over the trampling of the Constitution committed against political opponents seemingly having no idea what damage is being done. This is no longer about Trump; it’s about the survival of the nation as a free country.
Since, once again, the left CHOSE to pre-emptively refuse any representation from the other side to be involved in this illegal and illicit raid, do you think ANY of the “evidence” retrieved will be taken seriously as credible by anyone other than vapid, rabid leftist zealots like yourself? If the FBI allows the alteration of evidence to justify a FISA warrant against a Presidential candidate, do you think they won’t “Dan Rather” the documents they just stole? In a fair court, they have destroyed any case they may have thought they had. The next hurdle, of course, is to find a fair court in this country that has not been totally violated by the left.
So, cheer on your soviet-style of GESTAPO “justice”. Your elation could be very short lived.
This would be true in a nation where their justice department had not been politicized and weaponized by the ruling party to use against political opponents, even as they totally ignore open acts of corruption committed by that ruling party. But, not here.
No greg. This is TYRANNY.
Trump won an election in 2016 against a corrupt, and to-be-installed HRC. The aftermath has been one illegal and autocratic action by our deep state and the Democrats since then.
There is no probable cause, beyond Democrats and their benefactors are DESPERATE to stop Trump from running.
They invented Russia collusion, two sham impeachments, and a false-flag on the steps of the Capitol.
They are skating on thin ice, as Americans like me (the majority) are about to oust their asses for actual insurrection and sedition.
You’re a fucking tool. That’s the ONLY thing they’ve had for six years now. Made up allegations.
This is tyranny, and we won’t stand for it.
Well said.
The Biden regime has to go. They are no longer part our Union. Like the Democrat Confederates of old, they are trying to make their own nation off the backs of our democracy.
We beat them back then and we’ll be these rebels now.
Trump made an unlawful attempt to remain in office after being voted out by both the popular vote and the electoral college. It wasn’t even close. There’s not a damn bit of credible evidence any significant election regularities—a fact testified to by REPUBLICAN election officials after exhaustive recounts and audits. Third-party recounts came up with the same results. Over 60 court challenges failed—some of which were presided over by judges Trump himself appointed. He attempted to pressure Georgia officials to somehow come up with the votes he needed, and is presently under criminal investigation for that. He then incited a violent mob to lay siege to the Capitol in an effort to stop the official count of electoral votes, which could have gotten his own Vice President lynched and other elected officials murdered. As a result of that—which has every appearance of a coordinated effort—people were killed, and over 150 Capitol police were injured. He did NOTHING in response to pleas that he provide help, ignoring his own advisors and even his own children.
Trump has had due process up the kazoo. He has off of the legal defense that money and power can provide, as he has every day of his adult life.
What won’t you “stand for?” The application of law? The workings of our court system? Would you break it all, just to raise Trump above the law? What, then, would you replace it with? The only replacement for the rule of law WOULD BE tyranny—and THAT’S what the American people won’t stand for.
NO HE DID NOT. DEMOCRATS RIGGED THE ELECTION, AND USED THE CIA/FBI TO PULL AN “INVERSION” OF THE TRUTH FOR A SIMPLE FALSE FLAG.
This is the blatant mis-application of law, autocratically, selectively, and illegally.
No need to replace it. We’re just going to stop those traitors, like you, who are trying to replace the rule of Constitutional Law with your unelected dictatorship.
It was kind of expected you’d be coming in the with the clownshow, greg, but damn..it’s like you’re not even trying.
Yes. You’re the tyranny. Biden and the FBI ARE the tyranny you speak of.
I, and the rest of the American people, won’t stand for it.
@Greg
Trump has done not one illegal act. None. We know this absolutely to be true for, if he had, the left would have already crucified him. All you have is a campaign to fine SOMETHING to use as a crime. You should cease pretending you believe there is anything lawful, legal or just about the persecution of Trump. It’s merely the Democrats reacting to a political force they cannot defeat; the force of patriotism and love of country.
STATE FARM ARENA You nor anyone else has ever developed an explanation for that charade (which also happened in ever swing state), so again, stop pretending you don’t see the overt and obvious examples of election fraud. You simply look stupid.
Greg: An FBI raid for declassified docs is hardly a reasonable cause.
You aren’t paying attention.
George: greg is our enemy. He’s either a Fed or a troll for the WEF.
He’s a bad actor who lies…
looks like the village idiot posts another ignorant comment. Greggie, you should really talk to someone who can understand what is happening.
Don’t worry. greg will be getting his new propaganda points today.
He’s not serious, but he is an enemy of the United States of America.
And this is new… how?
How desperate and afraid of the damage idiot Biden has done to their future are the Democrats? Well…. THIS desperate. Raiding Trump’s home desperate.
Pathetic.
Miranda Devine just reporting that the docs taken from Trump’s house were boxed up by the GSA and mailed to Trump by them. And that the FBI has had access to these docs for MONTHS.

This was the opening shot in the second Civil War, the democrats do not want elections in November. The democrats know they will lose any honest elections, so they have decided to advance the timetable for their coup. I am sure the FBI will do an excellent job of generating fake evidence which Garland’s DOJ will use to arrest and imprison Trump and those close to him. This marks the end of free elections and Constitutional Government in the US. This is not politics this is Nazi Germany in 1933. The Democrats have moved so far to the left they are now fascists.
We have regressed to 1933 Nazi Germany. What do you think the 87,000 IRS agents will be doing? They will be documenting all of the Trump supporters who will be arrested, and you know the rest.
I hope those agents really need that ammo.
@greg
This is the same FBI that altered documents and illegally sought FISA warrants. That’s how high the bar is
@greg
What’s the crime? In America it’s a crime is committed and then an investigation. With the Biden democrat regime, it’s lets go look for a crime and we’ll manufacture one. Our friends in the prostituted democrat media complex will back us all the way.
Imagine if they found a Trump laptop with the contents of a Hunter Biden laptop, then we’d have a crime.
“They’re not after me. They’re after you.”
This attack on Trump is an attack on all of us, and our Republic at large.
The UNIPARTY has been after “us” for 62 years. They were more oblique/subtle 202years ago. With naming Mueller FBI head (2021)they became obvious/ crystal clear in their attack.
States need to come together and declare the Federal Government illegitimate.
They’d kill Trump if they could (like they did Abe), but they know that will guarantee a civil war.
This raid pretty much as done that, but they will continue to hide behind “plausible deniability” and pretend they have some reason to charge Trump (which they don’t, and never did).
Isn’t it odd also that they waited until after Congress went on recess?
Trump was impeached for asking Zelinsky to complete an investigation that involved a Presidential candidate that wasn’t even the front runner. It was an investigation that candidate had extorted the Ukrainian government to end because it involved his son.
Today, it is OK to launch investigation after investigation against a presumed candidate that not only is the front runner but also is shown by polling to defeat the incumbent. Today it is OK to raid his home with the FBI under false pretenses. Today, there are no laws, no rules, no justice, no rights, no protection by the Constitution. Today we are a totalitarian regime.
This was a bait and switch. DJT had leaked that he’d acquired a new safe for highly sensitive documents. The DS couldn’t resist. They know their goose is cooked. They just don’t know if it’s rare or well done. I’m betting we’ll done. 5D chess. DJT is a master chess player and is working multiple moves ahead of the buffoons parading as leadership. Their end is near, and they know it. They’re desperate and I can smell their fear.
Fart in a tornado, more FBI… er DNC and deepstate(WEF -UN) showboating…. The safe they cracked was empty, unlike Epstiens safe.
The Regime’s talking points, thus far:
1. They must have had a HUGE amount of probable cause. (They had none for Russia Collusion, the sham impeachments, and every other false allegation against Trump.) Dismissed.
2. Christopher Wray was a Trump appointee, therefore it’s legit. (Many of Trump’s admin stabbed him in the back, being part of the deep state.). Dismissed.
3. Trump doesn’t have the right to have classified material, or mishandled it (whichever will play with the idiots who think Biden got 81 million votes). Yes he does, and what they took was already declassified and given to the FBI prior. Dismissed.
Dumbass greg already tried this:
This is a dark day for America. Our rogue government raided a President’s home, Putin-style.
The Second Civil War has begun.
@Nathan Blue
That’s how the left assuages their conscience (those that are burdened with one). They don’t contemplate the possibility (based on history) that the FBI is acting on orders from the DNC (again). They MUST have “probable cause” because, well, there are laws and rights and stuff. Just like all the “probable cause” they had to initiate a spying campaign on the TRUMP campaign.
Very well said, Dep.
Listen. They LITERALLY CREATED FALSE DOCUMENTS TO CREATE THE RUSSIA COLLUSION HOAX.
They created false narratives for the sham impeachments, and have created false allegation after false allegation.
They WILL create another hoax with this. They will double-down on it.
Yang and every other beta male in this country waiting to see “if it was warranted” is an idiot.
It was an attack on our democracy. Pure and simple.
The Jan. 6th show trial is fizzling out. This is just the next hoax meant to keep things going.
A few Democrats seem to realize what a momentous mistake this overstep is. Even Andrew Cuomo is outraged.
This is what absolute power looks like. Democrats think they have absolute power. It will be up to the people to prove them wrong.
It’s NOT a search for “classified” documents.
Everyone already knows from previous court filings that Donald Trump DEclassified all these documents before leaving the Presidency.
It is a FISHING EXPEDITION.”
As noted in Curt’s comment, no one is taking responsibility for this raid, not the White House, not the DOJ, not the FBI.
The Jan 6th witchhunt committee has been hinting about bombshells, so what did they have to do with this?
Also, as noted above by DrJohn, the FBI altered documents in the recent past in order to try to “get Trump.”
In 5, almost 6 years, the IRS has had all of the Trump family tax returns but has not been able to find a thing against any of them.
In this, too, there is no there, there.
But that’s not to say a crime might not be fabricated.
DOMINION says, “Not so!”! No conservative will we elect!
They want the MAGA supporters to take to the streets.
Don’t !
This is a provocation as with all the actions of the DoJ, FBI, and Military.
The war in Ukraine is going to show US impotence, China has not started a military invasion in spite of US calling Taiwan a ‘sovereign country’ but the democrats need a reason to cancel the November elections.
If the US cannot provoke or enter a real war, then it will have to suffer a civil war. There is no way that the Democrats, the Deep State [DS](DoJ-MIC) can withstand the scrutiny that will follow a total massacre in the Elections. With overwhelming GOP [minus the RINOs] majority in both the house and Senate, it is the end for the ‘Swamp’ and they know it.
The DS is going to do everything to create another summer of riots and burnings and murders with the goal of having the ‘Right Extremists’ (ie anyone who is fed up with the current regime) take to the streets.
Just remember, the Blue Line Gang is not on your side when you do so. Jan 6 has proven that.
There are going to be groups of “FBI Provocateurs” roaming the streets claiming to be Right Extremists, recognise them by khaki cargo pants, blue tops and masks. They did the Boston bombing and have tried a few times since. Anytime you see one shout “Feds-Feds-Feds” until a crowd forms and they either run away or get beaten to a pulp.
Good luck with holding out until Nov and then watch what happens 20 Jan 2023.
I agree, but what happens when the Democrats rig enough elections to keep the senate, and congress?
They can certainly do it.
They rigged a presidential election. Everything else is easy now.
Trump remains the strongest, most favored Presidential candidate for 2024.
Biden has said he’s going to run in 2024. That means this FBI attack on Trump is Biden’s trying to attack a political rival…just like they claimed Trump did when he asked about Biden withholding aid to Ukraine.
The Federal Government is illegitimate. The Constitution dictates our government goes from top to bottom: local, state, then the weak and replaceable Federal Government.
Time to clean house and have a “great reset” by getting rid those traitors in our Federal Government.
The FBI put the padlock on the door in MLA after seeing everything. They said it wasn’t secure enough, so they put a padlock on it. They didn’t bring a key, broke the lock, then took what they’d already looked at and cleared a few weeks ago.
Time to sack the FBI
Comrade Greggie:
How so? Did he refuse to leave the White House on January 20, 2021? Did he order the military to prevent Joe Biden from entering the White House? How did he make “an unlawful attempt to remain in office?”
You see, you have such little intellect that you think you can make false statements and no one will challenge you.
What scum you are.
greggie the village idiot has some very real mental issues. I know we have tried to ignore him hoping he would go away, but that has not worked. He does lack both short term and long-term memory as well as the ability to not understand simple statements or issues. I still think his mental deficiencies are due to his imbibing in LSD while peeling potatoes in Vietnam.
Have you listened to the sworn testimony? If you don’t understand that yet, no one can explain it so that you will.
@Gref
The sworn testimony of rumor, hearsay, innuendo and lies that had no cross examination? Yeah, we’ve heard it. It’s garbage. Useless.
Idiot Biden is the worst form of scumbag our nation has ever seen. Carter and Obama are relieved of the worst President title and Benedict Arnold is relieved of the worst traitor title. Idiot Biden has both now.
There’s no evidence that Trump tried to do ANYTHING illegal.
Not…one…shred.
There is, however, clear and overwhelming evidence the election was rigged for puppet Biden.
Now puppet Biden is raiding Trump’s house, like Putin does to his opponents?
Tyranny. Get these scumballs out of our government, now.
We now know that, even though the warrant was to retrieve the 15 boxes of documents, the agents went through the entire residence and offices, including Melania’s wardrobe. No doubt idiot perv Biden wanted them to receive some panties for him to sniff.
Absolute scum, America hating scum. How fortunate we are that the fascist Garland was prevented from being a Supreme Court Justice.
We’ve got the Deep State on the run!
