Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 8/11/2022 11:54:35 AM

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday afternoon revealed more details on the circumstances surrounding the FBI’s Aug. 8 raid of his Mar-a-Lago home. “In early June, the DOJ and FBI asked my legal representatives to put an extra lock on the door leading to the place where boxes were stored in Mar-a-Lago – We agreed,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Aug. 10, in an apparent reference to boxes that may have been used to store presidential records in Mar-a-Lago. “They were shown the secured area, and the boxes themselves.”

Comments:

And so they come back, raid the residence, break the lock they’d requested, and take the boxes. What did they do the rest of the 9-10 hours?

Snoop. If I were Trump, I have the whole place inspected and cleaned from ceiling to floor. No telling how many bugs they put in the place.

Based on the angst coming out of the DOJ with the FBI, this is clear sign Merrick Garland was not up to a position on SCOTUS. Are his actions being influenced by retribution, or to satisfy some major Democrat campaign donors?

I'd be more worried about searching MAL for chunks of capped-up C-4 than listening devices or miniature cameras in Melania's under garments.

Make no mistake this order came from the executive Branch! DOJ and FBI had their marching orders but will try to make Wray the fall guy since they did not discover anything. They were looking for personal notes President Trump took regarding what we are doing to foreign leaders. It isn’t very good if it gets out

Meanwhile 0bama has 30 million pages of documents stored somewhere in Chicago. He had them trucked out there when he left office and promised to have them all digitalized and made public. Seven years later and not a single page is available, even to the National Archives. When PDT is back in the WH, I hope that he has all four of 0bama’s palaces raided, as well as the warehouse where all of those documents are stored. If they haven’t been destroyed already, that is.

The Demented Fuhrer August 11, 2022 "President Joe Biden arrived in South Carolina on Wednesday to begin what is expected to be at least a seven-day vacation with members of his family." Jill, if you pick up a newspaper, it may have mention of a RAID.

In September of 2016, the FBI leaked the Steele Dossier to Michael Isikoff, who then wrote one of the first bogus articles about the dossier claims at Yahoo News. Right after that, the FBI deceptively used his news article in their Carter Page FISA warrant application, as supposed "independent" verification and corroboration of their false Russian collusion allegations. Fast forward to today, and note that NYT reporter Maggie Haberman (in a forthcoming book) and some phony news reports (with photos), have accused President Trump of flushing classified documents down toilets. So, we should now be asking the question: Did the FBI just repeat their Steele Dossier fraud here? In other words, did the FBI/DOJ plant these phony toilet-flushing news reports, and then use them to falsely claim exigent circumstances in their Mar-a-Lago warrant application? The Republicans should be looking into this possible repeat FBI warrant application fraud.

Capt Merrick was trying to slay the Orange Whale Donald. His harpoon missed horrible and in doing so demonstrated to the world that he is and was not Black Robe material. We are lucky that 45 didn't allow his nomination to go through. Long live Donald.

One must wonder.... The raid was to regain custody of documents considered so classified that the FBI and DOJ demanded a higher level of security than a very wealthy former (and Future) POTUS had already provided in his secret service protected , camera controlled, locked down Private residence. So, if the documents are so secret, exactly who is going to get to look at them to determine their usefullness in the next election? Won't diclosing the papers in discovery become a national security risk? How do we assure that EVERYONE in the chain of custody has the proper and required very high security clearances required to allow them in the same room as the docs? I am sure not all of those 30 FBI agents had executive level security clearances. They are already sure to have breached the rules by allowing run of the mill FBI officers to handle and transport the docs. Will we be putting anyone who even slightly breaks the chain of custody in jail for their illegal activity? If the current coruptocrats control who gets security clearances then what stops them from denying any legal representative of Trump from legally viewing their evidence? What about all the lower court judges that normal legal proceedings must go through, are they going to just have to accept some deep state storm troopers word that the evidence is "Real Bad"? How does any one in Trumps position ever get justice that we the people will trust if we can never be allowed to see any of the evidence. Selective declassification anyone? Inquiring minds want to know......

That warrant was filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and details information about the property and the search. The warrant details the address and locations to be searched, including that “The locations to be searched include the ‘45 Office,’ all storage rooms, and all other rooms or areas within the premises used or available to be used by FPOTUS and his staff and in which boxes or documents could be stored, including all structures or buildings on the estate.”

With the FBI’s recent raid on one of the homes of former President Donald Trump, the federal justice system in America has sunk below the level of third-world countries, according to Kash Patel, a former national security official in the Trump administration. The FBI executed a search warrant at Trump’s Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida on Aug. 8 looking for White House documents Trump may have taken with him when leaving office, a lawyer for Trump told The Epoch Times. Trump said he’s been cooperating with law enforcement for months and there was no need for a raid.

I have to say, I’m kind of enjoying this whole Trump-FBI raid news cycle. It’s so patently absurd, but like a badly written TV show, you just feel like you’ve got to see through until the end. On Thursday, AG Merrick Garland finally spoke out while not really saying anything at all. He did agree to unseal the warrant used for the raid of Trump’s home, but he gave no details about what the FBI was after and what evidence they supposedly had to undergird their actions. It felt like an attempt to downplay the ordeal. Had the FBI failed to find what it was looking for? Then the leaks started.

The push to transition the national road fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) is on and while increasingly popular with buyers, experts in the transportation space are examining potential problems with mass EV adoption.One such issue involves EVs and evacuations during natural disasters. A report from Transportation Research published in ScienceDirect headlined “Can we evacuate from hurricanes with electric vehicles?” found that Florida—which often bears the force of hurricanes—may not have enough power to cope during an evacuation. “If the majority of the evacuating vehicles were EVs, Florida would face a serious challenge in power supply,” the report said.

Let’s hope Merrick Garland’s search of Mar-a-Lago is based on more evidence than his indictment of the Louisville, Kentucky, police officers involved in the raid on Breonna Taylor’s house. That passive construction I just used — “involved in the raid on,” instead of “who raided” — is not sloppy writing: It’s the facts. The officers who actually shot Taylor have not been charged, apparently on the flimsy grounds that they were being shot at when they fired. Instead, our lunatic attorney general has indicted officers who prepared the affidavit used to obtain the warrant to search Taylor’s home. In the words of the indictment, the affidavit “contained information that was false, misleading

A person close to the Trump family suggested the FBI may have planted “listening devices” during a raid targeting former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence earlier this week. Lawyers for the former president previously said that FBI agents would not allow Trump’s team to observe or supervise their search of Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. One lawyer, Lindsey Halligan, told Fox News on Thursday that agents are believed to have searched Trump’s bedroom, office, and a storage room.

Rep.

It is helpful to think of political developments as moves on the chessboard made to advance an objective. In chess, the objective is to win the game, chess being zero-sum. Politics is like that, too, though participants often claim it's not, that they're acting for the greater good, principles at the foundation of democracy, motherhood and apple pie and all that — which is true in some cases but never if Democrats are in the game. This brings me to Attorney General Garland's claim that the Mar-a-Lago home invasion wasn't a raid at all.

Law enforcement is investigating former president Donald Trump for removal or destruction of records, obstruction of an investigation, and violating the Espionage Act, according to the search warrant for the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago that took place on Monday. A federal judge unsealed the search warrant for Trump’s residence, as well as other related documents on Friday afternoon. The Justice Department revealed earlier on Friday that Trump’s lawyers would not object to the documents’ release. Meanwhile, a list of items removed from the property shows the FBI recovered eleven sets of classified documents during the search, including some top-secret documents that should only have been available in special government facilities.

One thing we must give Democrats credit for is their unity. Yes, certain members of the party such as Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) will occasionally diverge from the party line and oppose particularly radical pieces of legislation, but when it comes to big moments and key votes – on impeachment, for instance – Democrats circle the wagons. Contrarily, Republicans tend to fracture at the most inopportune moments, which is why it was refreshing to see virtual unanimity amongst the GOP after Monday’s outrageous raid on former President Donald Trump’s residence Mar-a-Lago. Almost all notable Republicans supported Trump after the ordeal; all except for one.
