FBI raids Trumps home

[tbhausen]

The whole point of a warrant is to bring evidence before the courts.

A warrant was served. Material was collected. If that material was substantive, it will be entered into evidence and used in criminal prosecution against a defendant who will have full opportunity to dispute or refute it In court.

Its a big risk for a purely political play, one that falls apart as soon as it sees the light of day if it fails.

You don’t need the snark. I’m not interested in trading barbs with you. I’m here to try to bridge some gaps in my own understanding, not to pick fights.

You might be comfortable putting your trust in the FBI, believing this will all go down on the up and up. Many of us are not.

I'm wondering if this whole thing wasn't cooked up by the #resist people in doj and the fbi. Looking at the expressions of garland and wray they look blindsided by all of this, joe I'll discount. The whole thing smells like more junior than senior people running it, but much like those people trying to impress hillary in 2016, who are they trying to impress now? Clearly not their bosses or the president.

Who run bartertown?

Then please explain why the FBI hasn't raided Hunter Biden's domicile yet? He is shown weighing/smoking crack on camera. That alone is enough to bring legal armageddon on him.

Or Comey, Strzok, HRC or..... the list goes on.

This is a pure political witch hunt.

You do NOT want to get into a P***ing match about who told the biggest or the most whoppers. I promise you that. I`m not really sure why you`re here... could be a troll...could be a leftist plant...could be even worse. But you`re spitting in the wind here, I guarantee that.

I don’t want to get into a pissing match at all.

You’re the one getting emotional and spitting at your screen, trolling for a reaction from me.

I think misdeeds should be investigated, and crimes should be prosecuted, and it does not seem at all implausible to me that Trump committed misdeeds worthy of investigation.

Well, I think it's wholly plausible that certain others may have committed misdeeds worthy of investigation, but they never are.

Judge who signed warrant sounds like he’s going into CYA mode…

Internet rule #1 don’t feed the trolls

Well… once they find something they will unseal the warrant to fit what they found to fit the warrant. Most likely what they planted. Meanwhile some FBI agent has Melania pantys framed in his office.

Did 4 years of Schiff telling you that “this time we’ve got them” convince you of that. Or the Democrats show trials and impeachments.

New reports from today claim FBI head Christopher Wray signed off and AG Garland had no idea.

The story concludes with another big revelation. It claims that AG Merrick Garland was being updated on the National Archives investigation and knew about the grand jury but did not approve the search Monday. Newsweek’s source claims Garland had “no prior knowledge” of the time of the raid. Instead it was FBI Director Christopher Wray who approved the search. Finally, the source adds, “It really is a case of the Bureau misreading the impact.”

This is a lot of new information but I think the big take-aways are that this had nothing to do with Jan. 6 and that these DOJ sources are now feeling a lot of pressure, enough that they are a) trying to explain themselves and b) blaming the “spectacular backfire” on the FBI and the US Attorney while trying to insulate AG Garland from the blowback.

I agree. This is a serious problem with our sysem.

It has to start somewhere, and Trump is as deserving as any.

How did "Russia, Russia, Russia!" hurt the left? How did the two impeachments hurt the left? Do you think these people think about risk? There is NO risk to them. They have the full backing of the Democrats and the MSM. It never sees the light of day.

 

[Keith_Indy]

Yep, the FBI has always been squeaky clean…

Funny how the left is suddenly in love with police power and bigger government.

Trump raid not about classified documents — it’s about Jan. 6

The court-authorized search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate is another unmistakable signal that the Justice Department is trying to build a criminal case against him.

Something’s Happening Here: Feds Seize Cell Phone Of Trump Ally House Rep Scott Perry Day After Mar-a-Lago Raid

There's obviously a full-on DOJ-FBI effort to get Trump on something. That's part of what's happening here. But there's probably a lot that we don't know about how that is going to happen. I think we'll find out right after the midterms.

Since I cut my political chops deciphering Clintonese, I find this snippet to be a non-denial that the A.G. knew about the raid. Not knowing the timing of the raid is not equivalent to not knowing that a raid was planned.

CYA time is going to be fun to watch.

I hope you hang around here, because YOU are great entertainment.

He doesn't call himself LeftyGunner because he's left-handed i'm sure.

My point is why is he deserving of this MORE than anybody else? It's been a constant barrage for 6 years now and it continues. The system is heavily weighted in one direction. That is the serious problem. There is no denying that at this point it has been all but political in nature and they have proven that they will stop at nothing to try and bury their political foe once and for all.

Their political motivation shines the brightest above all else and outshines any sense of equal justice.

Yeah I find it ludicrous to believe that the head of the DOJ knew nothing about what was in the works and wasn't in on it. He's used that Sgt Shultz excuse one too many times.

THIS is exactly what and who the block button is for. Buh-bye now.

Yeah, and after a couple exchanges I was wrong, at least for me. I put him on ignore because he`s not such great entertainment.

Say in Trumps voice “total over reach, we were cooperating with them”

https://www.newsmax.com/politics/donald-trump-mar-a-lago-raid-justice-department/2022/08/10/id/1082600/

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 wrote.


"They were shown the secured area, and the boxes themselves. Then on Monday, without notification or warning, an army of agents broke into Mar-a-Lago, went to the same storage area, and ripped open the lock that they had asked to be installed."
