BREAKING: DOJ Website Crashes as FBI Releases Docs on Raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago Home
2022-08-26
[PJMedia] The FBI’s affidavit supporting the raid at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home appears to be based on the president possessing classified materials and messy record-keeping.

The raid on Trump’s home on August 8, 2022, was the first time the home of a president of the United States had ever been tossed by the feds.

According to the redacted document, the FBI believed that Trump had in his possession a variety of classified materials including materials marked with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) labels, perhaps supporting the notion that the former president was looking at documents concerning the Russia collusion hoax.

The documents the FBI claims support their raid of Mar-a-Lago will probably look ugly for former President Donald Trump. After all, these are documents used to convince a judge to approve a never-before-tried search on a former president in what looks by all appearances to be in contravention of the U.S. Constitution.

A couple of things to mention here as we read through the documents and update this story. In a memorandum explaining the search warrant affidavit, the FBI outlined that the redacted portions would remain sealed, in an apparent deal with the judge.

Here are some of the accommodations made for the FBI with Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart:

  • The redacted material remains under seal

  • Witness identities will remain secret

  • Minor information which may out law enforcement will remain secret

  • Outing certain information would allow Trump to “frustrate” their investigation

Reporters trying to get a look at the documents crashed the DOJ’s PACER website (but you can read it below).
All thirty-eight pages of the thing can be seen at the link.

#6  Rumor is that the FBI ran the Maralargo affidavit past the Bidens and Hunter snorted most of the lines.

#4  The orcs gave 5 reasons to stage the home invasion. And none of them were for national security reasons. All 5 reasons were hypothetical Bull Shit.

That was why the orcs did not want it released.

#3  Us tax serfs not only paid for someone to write the affidavit -- we also paid for someone to redact the affidavit we paid for so we couldn't see what we paid for. Seems fair.
