Why the FBI really raided Mar a Lago

Loading

 

Spending time on Twitter can be illuminating. Never have I seen so much spamming going on from the left all about how Trump “stole” classified documents. You could call it the “Crapper Caper.” I have repeatedly pointed out that the President can declassify anything he chooses. But it’s not about that. It’s about something very different.

Trump and his lawyers were cooperating with the National Archives and had already returned 15 boxes of materials. Than came a June meeting:

Trump’s attorneys were present at that meeting and the sources say the former president himself stopped in to say hello for a few minutes.

The meeting came months after the National Archives — with assistance from the Justice Department — was able to get 15 boxes of documents sent back to Washington, D.C. after expressing concern they were in Florida.

The June meeting was about additional documents that were being sought. But following it, the Justice Department and FBI felt they weren’t getting the same cooperation they had been receiving earlier in the probe, according to a source with knowledge of negotiations between Trump’s team and the federal entities.

The perceived lack of cooperation is why a search warrant was requested and ultimately executed on Monday, Aug. 8 at Trump’s Palm Beach property.

“Perceived lack of cooperation.”  Note that Trump was not present. Perceived lack of cooperation is subjective. Without question, the Feds decided to perceive a lack of cooperation as a premise to ransack Trump’s place. Lawyers were not allowed to observe as the FBI took everything, relevant to the visit or not.

Today Andrew McCarthy opined that the raid was not about classified documents, but rather a fishing expedition for the Jan 6 Satr Chamber

The Justice Department obviously used the potential classified information as a pretext to obtain a warrant so it could search for what it is really looking for: evidence that would tie Trump to a Capitol riot offense – either a violent crime, such as seditious conspiracy to forcibly attack a government installation (which is highly unlikely), or a non-violent crime, such as conspiracy to obstruct the January 6 joint session of Congress to count electoral votes, or conspiracy to defraud the government.

He may be right or partly right. As we’ve noted previously, Kash Patel asserts that the documents present at Mar a Lago were already declassified but did not have the appropriate markings. Back in May Patel made a pretty good prediction:

“If they selectively leak stuff — and given this week’s Supreme Court leak, you can’t put it past anyone at the NARA or Congress who might have some of these documents and leak them to advance a false political narrative,” he said.

That is what transpired. This, however, is what I find interesting:

“They are not a classification authority. I don’t believe they have unilateral authority to reclassify something the president declassified. They are the holder of records,” he said.

Patel did not want to get into what the specific documents were, predicting claims from the left that he was disclosing “classified” material, but said, “It’s information that Trump felt spoke to matters regarding everything from Russiagate to the Ukraine impeachment fiasco to major national security matters of great public importance — anything the president felt the American people had a right to know is in there and more.”

That’s important as it dovetails into something I wrote about late last night. Paul Sperry had a similar notion and posted this, and was immediately suspended by Twitter

Twitter has a habit of quashing stories in the crib. They begin suspending accounts of conservatives in anticipation of elections and they suspend anything that crosses the party line on vaccines, truth notwithstanding.

I think the FBI absolutely has a personal stake in this. It’s too coincidental that this raid occurs soon after Sen. Chuck Grassley discloses whistleblowers’ assertions that the Wash DC FBI office tampered with politics (the very office who conducted the raid), and that on the same day of the raid Judicial Watch announces a lawsuit to release these materials.

Grassley has the whistleblowers, Judicial Watch has the lawsuit and Trump said he wanted to release proof, and Trump sought to release the proof of FBI misconduct in the Russian collusion investigation.

The FBI is looking to discover the identities of the whistleblowers, make them a deal they can’t refuse and seize the evidence of its own misconduct and bury it at the bottom of the ocean. When the FBI raided Mar a Lago, they weren’t just looking for classified materials. They took everything- personal papers, tax files, documents and all. There is no question that everything they’ve take will find its way into the paws of the Jan 6 committee and leaked to the press. This is a large-scale operation involving a lot of the government.

That’s why this raid happened. Biden didn’t know? Bullsh*t.

Remember that no investigations 90 days from the election rule that saved Hunter Biden’s ass in 2020?

It’s one more thing that doesn’t apply to Republicans

As it stands, Trump is completely exonerated of any “insurrection” or “overturning the election” on January 6th.

To say otherwise is absurd.

The election was rigged and Democrats baited protestors into forming a false-flag “riot.”

Trump’s video evidence completely clears him of any doubt, as he said to be peaceful and whatnot.

Indeed, he’s right back then and he’s right now.

WE NEED TO FIGHT LIKE HELL.

These tyrannical bastards need to be stopped, before they replace our Constitution with their autocracy.

Trump = Constitutional Law

Biden = Installed autocracy

The deep state is going down…

American’s aren’t buying it, and all of us have had enough of lies, rigged elections, and blatantly fascistic conduct from Biden, Pelosi, the deep state, and the crony companies who pay them

They need to be run into a volcano that is about to erupt and take all their leftist comrades with them. This will backfire on them big time. Perhaps it is what PT meant when he said the best is yet to come.

Nathan;

The real question is what legal recourse we majority of Americans have if they continue to rig elections.

You, and anyone who wants to protect the integrity of elections can do many things to help protect against election theft which, contrary to what the Communist Greggie says, is rampant in this country.

Learn your state’s elections laws. Learn who is responsible for conducting those elections. Primary elections are handled differently than general elections. Volunteer to be an election judge or clerk and learn what is a legal vote and what voters have to cast provisional ballots. Find out what kind of ballot counting equipment your county has be it ESS, Dominion, etc.

The majority of theft comes from mail in ballots. Does your state/county require a signature verification system to be checked by clerks of both parties on election day? If not, why not? Is there a law regarding voter I.D.?

The more honest people know what election laws say and actually participate by working as an election judge/clerk, the harder it becomes for the Democrats to cheat. Remember, the Democrats have been working on perfecting election fraud for sixty years.

@retire

We have mail in ballots (have for years), so I’m a little jaded on the idea of a free and fair election.

But I’m going to volunteer in my area, camera on my lapel.

Not that being caught on video would matter to Democrats.

@Nathan Blue
The Democrats rely entirely their corrupt leftist propaganda media partners to bury all reports of election fraud. But, what else have they got?

There WILL be fraud and the Democrats WILL rely heavily upon it.

If there is so much “damning” evidence found by the phony January 6th kommunist klown kommittee, why would they need to raid Mar a Lago? And what does Melania’s underwear have to do with it?

The White House says they had no prior knowledge of the raid. I wonder if they learned from their disastrous targeting of concerned parents not to leave their emails and memos laying around showing they coordinated their efforts? They KNEW and it is only a matter of time before we see the evidence.

The raiders would not allow Trump’s lawyers to be present as they ransacked the place. They wanted the cameras turned off (they weren’t). Does that sound like the transparency of a lawful operation?

Odd that this raid was conducted after Congress recessed so that no hearings could be held immediately afterwards. Odd that Wray had to scamper off to his redoubt (why does he get to use a government jet to go on vacation?). Odd that actual criminals don’t have their homes raided (Hillary, Hunter, James Biden, the Podesta’s, etc) but a Republican presumed Presidential candidate and front runner is.

Do you all need any more proof the marsupials have found zero way to connect Trump to any illegal activities surrounding J6?

Ron Johnson took his primary easily
Another Win for Trump backed governor candidate in Wisc. again in the Primary

People that get the “most votes in American history” don’t typically raid their political opponent’s homes

But election stealers do.

Note: I saw this elsewhere. So it’s not mine, but I agree with the thought.

Note that the DOJ won’t clarify what was done, allowing the leftist media to speculate wildly. In a few weeks or months when they finally explain it was just for archives, the lies will already be etched into the minds of the stupid.

Deplorable, do you know for sure the cameras weren’t really turned off? I know a few million people who would help him comb through those files second by second.

I only know what is reported. I’m sure, if they were on, they are being perused as we speak.

This whole thing is a Witch Hunt by the Democrats/Globalists they dont want Trump to run again in 2024

The real question is what legal recourse we majority of Americans have if they continue to rig elections.

They are starting a war, and poised to blame us when they say “stop it.”

Like all tyrannies do.

Oh, of course, Trump is a victim. The warrant was blank except for “Donnie Must Die!” written on it in crayon. There was no inventory of documents on it or on the execution memo at all.

FBI kicked down his door and raped his wife and gardener and planted hundreds of pounds of cocaine because they hate freedom!

Next, the FBI will produce fake documents and feed them to the press and Liz Cheney!

Next, the FBI will produce fake documents and feed them to the press and Liz Cheney!

You’d have a point, dumbfuck, if this didn’t happen already…before Trump even took office…and the FBI produced fake documents to spark off illegal investigations, warrants, and cook up the Russia Collusion Hoax. Funny how no one has yet gone to jail for that bit of fascistic fun.

Trump is a political opponent of the Democrat Party. Like Russia and other banana republics, the ruling class has invented hoax after hoax to mire him in controversy…because they can’t beat him in a fair and free election.

There is now a string of Democrats using the Deep State to target everyone from the Tea Party to Parents to Trump.

250 years of precedence was overturned when the FBI, without due cause, raided a not-part-of-the-establishment President to take documents they already saw, per their request, a few weeks before.

It’s not conjecture. It’s not opinion. It’s fact.

These people are doing what they appear to be doing: acting tyrannically.

Perhaps we should be wondering not about what they took, but rather what they might have left behind. Those folks have access to the latest generation of espionage devices using techniques the best security services may not suspect.

If I were Trump, I’d be careful about what I would discuss anywhere near Mar-A-Lago. I’d also burn the contents of the closets there.

But… wouldn’t that be illegal?

The FBI was reportedly tipped off concerning what specific classified documents were hidden at Mar-o-Lago, and where they could be found.

@Greg

Utter bullshit. The FBI had already been there and saw the documents. They knew what was there and where it was. They went through Melania’s underwear drawer for the fun of it.

Was the FBI so incompetent that it took them 12 hours to find what they already knew was there and where it was?

Damn, it’s fortunate that fascist Garland is not on the Supreme Court. What an unconstitutional piece of shit.

There was nothing hidden. Go fuck your self. President Trump can not be touched by you fascists. The biden DOJ is the new gestapo. The fascist left has made a serious mistake.

Judge who issued FBI raid warrant on Mar-a-Lago rules DOJ must respond to suit seeking to unseal

As President he could declassify all the documents, thats why no other President has has this type of harassment. The side show to the circus is quite amusing. You did not hear of Melania stealing things from the White House, staffers stealing doorknobs and breaking letters out of keyboards, like the white trash Clintons.
The Bush slobs allowing the place to go to ruin.
No vermin or leaking windows, broken stairs and filthy dusty conditions as left by the Obamas what ghetto
garbage.

the Obamas what ghetto garbage.

Feeling a little racist today, I see.

Explain what you consider racist.

Oh, you think the ghetto is nothing but blacks. I get it. YOU’RE racist.

There was no tip off. The FBI returned to sieze documents that they already reviewed, personally padlocked with their own lock.

It’s an Attack on our constitutional republic and attack on the rule of law.

The FBI needs to be abolished, and the federal government needs to be abolished as well and then reformed according to the Constitution.
In this country, we go from local to state to federal government. In that order.

The American people have had enough and tyrannical Democrats are now being soundly rejected by people everywhere all over the world.

We will not suffer a totalitarian government like this.

Yes greggie the village idiot, just like the FBI was tipped off on the Trump Russian Collusion issue. How can you believe all these fairy tales?

@Randy

I wonder if Greg has kept track of all the leftist lies he’s fallen for and propagated? Either he’s a fool or that’s his job.

@greg

NewsWEAK.. Another schwing and a miss.

Since 2016, you’ve got nothing.

The UN/Globalist decree that all World Leaders mus abide by the Orders from Big Brother we see that in The Netherlands and Sri Lanka

BREAKING: Judge CANNON has denied DOJ’s motion for a partial stay and has appointed Raymond DEARIE as special master.

Enough of the DOJ’s bullshit. Wasn’t that the judge the FBI lied to in order to get FISA warrants?

Yes
He granted the FISA warrant to spy on Carter Page. He was lied to by the scumbag Gestapo FBI.

IMHO, poetic justice

At least he knows how the Democrat weaponized FBI operates.
