BOMBSHELL: Steve Bannon Tells Charlie Kirk 35 Trump Allies Had Homes Raided by FBI on Thursday
2022-09-10
On Friday afternoon Steve Bannon told Charlie Kirk that 35 Trump allies had their homes raided by the FBI on Thursday.

Bannon: "The jack-booted Gestapo has to show up at their door and make a big display of this."

Steve Bannon joined Charlie Kirk on Real America’s Voice on Thursday.

Steve Bannon: You saw from the demonic speech that Biden gave in Philadelphia that this is a dying regime. That was a primal scream. And here what they’re trying to do, no matter who it is whether Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. There were 35 FBI raids last night. Right. And there’s another grand jury coming together on January 6th, the Washington Post reported it. THIRTY-FIVE Senior Members of MAGA! of Republicans, supporters of Donald Trump that the FBI rolled in on. When they didn’t need to do it. Right? All these people have lawyers. The jack-booted Gestapo has to show up at their door and make a big display of this.
Another take from 100% Fed Up, courtesy of Mercutio:
[via CFP] This afternoon, it was revealed that the residences of 35 Trump supporters were raided by Joe Biden’s FBI yesterday. Of course, the FBI couldn’t be bothered to investigate Joe Biden’s crackhead son’s laptop before the election that contained evidence that should have landed both Joe and Hunter in prison, but they can be bothered to raid the homes of 35 Trump supporters in an effort to intimidate Trump loyalists like Boris Epshteyn (who is Jewish) was allegedly part of the sweeping raid.

#21  ^ Same here. And strategically speaking, they would be daft not to take the chance. There's just no downside right now. And no one to punish them for it.

#19  #15 What if the Dems and administrative state think Trump, as POTUS, has a lot of files that would expose their illegality? That would explain the ramped-up raids. That, and they want to try to destroy Trump as a 2024 candidate. He, as POTUS with a Republican Congress pose a great threat to them.

I think a few of them will get it worse than financial. Just so the DOJ can make a point.

#14  DoJ doesn't need to convict any of these people. They can bleed their victims financially by forcing them to hire lawyers thereby discouraging future politicians who are unwilling to get with the program.

#13  The 4th Amendment has been obliterated by these chumps.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

#12  My impression of Trump's ability to assess people seems to only be able to go in one direction. And it isn't up...

#11  /\ Exactly correct. He was an FBI senior leader, a logical choice. People at that level are expected to have...."impeccable credentials."

Trump did fire the onerous Comey. I suspect he was hoping for better.

#8  Prosecutors seek details from Trump’s PAC in expanding Jan. 6 probe
By Josh Dawsey and Isaac Arnsdorf

This is the article that Dannon was referring to.

A federal grand jury sent subpoenas on Wednesday to a wide range of former campaign and White House staffers asking for information about the Save America PAC, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing probe. They described the subpoenas as broad, seeking all documents and communications about opening the PAC and every dollar raised and spent.

At least one of the subpoenas also demanded information about the plan to submit slates of phony electors claiming Trump won pivotal states, including all communications with several key lawyers and advisers involved in the effort, one of the people said. They include Rudy Giuliani, Boris Epshteyn, Bruce Marks, Victoria Toensing and Joseph DiGenova, this person said.

Another one of the three people, who has direct knowledge of one of the subpoenas, said the document was “wide ranging” and included multiple other categories of information, but this person declined to describe them. FBI agents served at least some of the subpoenas in person on Wednesday, one of the people with knowledge said.

#7  ...has begun executing warrants on people they think might also have the documents

Might think? That is not a basis for any legal warrant.

#6  Judging by the blackout, I doubt anyone will publish what the DOJ is after.

#5  KGB in full force. Barr made sure to do their MSM PR work as a layout. As did the entire corrupt GOP with thier silence.

Now I want to see a list of who was raided. Where the hell is that?

But for crying out loud, Donald, send the Crossfire documents to Wikileaks! This is the final nail of the coupe, grow some balls man.

#4  This story is not being carried by the MSM.

#3  Ace of Spades:
"A friend took a guess about this. It's only a guess. The speculation is that the DOJ, precluded at going through Trump's papers by the court order for a special master, has begun executing warrants on people they think might also have the documents -- that he might have emailed or corresponded with -- to get the documents via another route that would not be delayed by the special master."
