| FBI ‘Didn't Find What They Were Looking For' During Trump Raid, Says Former Intel Chief |
| 2022-09-08 |
| [Conservative Brief] The former top U.S. spy chief believes that the FBI came up short during its raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate early last month. John Ratcliffe, a former U.S. congressman from Texas whom Trump tapped to serve as director of national intelligence, told Fox News last week that the bureau "didn’t find what they were looking" for, based on his observations. "I was a former federal prosecutor, United States attorney. Let me tell you what this is about. Good prosecutors with good cases play it straight. They don’t need to play games," Ratcliffe said, in reference to Justice Department officials. "They don’t need to shop for judges, they don’t need to leak intelligence that may or may not exist." The Justice Department’s arguments against having a federal court appoint a special master to review allegedly classified documents "tells you that the government didn’t find what they were looking for," Ratcliffe continued. "There weren’t nuclear secrets" at Trump’s estate, he noted further, "and they’re trying to justify what they’ve done. They’re not playing it straight before the American people. I think that that’s going to play out." The Epoch Times noted further that Ratcliffe did not go into specific evidence regarding his claims, however.

| #11 Anyone know the date of the warrant? I still think the raid was initiated based on something, planted or real, in the SS texts the J6 committee subpoenaed. |

| #6 Seems to me they were looking for controversy and headlines. Which, obviously, they found. Sure beats talking about Kabul and Expense Increases! |

| #3 I'll say it again and again: If he had real dirt on them, it's stored digitally, not in R-kive boxes at Mar a Lago. |

| #2 I have to wonder if they were after Hillary's, Hunters and other LSD's Swampers data, files, email and etc. Surely TRUMP had copies of all their illegal actitives just in case such an event. |
