FBI official in charge of Mar-a-Lago raid had strong misgivings about the operation

A senior FBI official involved in planning the raid of former President Donald Trump‘s Florida residence told Congress two days ago he had strong reservations about the operation and the investigation.

The House Judiciary released new information about the raid of Mr. Trump‘s residence and his indictment that details several deviations from the Justice Department’s usual protocol.

The information was provided to the Committee via a June 7 transcribed interview of Steven D’Antuono, the former assistant director-in-charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office.



Details of Mr. D’Antuono’s interview were related to Attorney General Merrick Garland in a letter from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican.

According to the letter, Mr. D’Antuono expressed strong concerns with the department’s pursuit of the raid and noted several unusual aspects in the department’s handling of the case.

The FBI declined a request for comment from The Washington Times. The Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment.

Mr. D’Antuono, a 20-year FBI veteran, was concerned that the bureau was going to be “left holding the bag again” regarding the search of Mr. Trump‘s residence.

He described several abnormalities in the investigation of Mr. Trump.

First, the Miami Field Office did not conduct the search. Mr. D’Antuono testified that FBI headquarters decided to assign the execution of the search warrant to the Washington Field Office despite the location of the search happening in the region of the Miami Field Office.

Mr. D’Antuono said he had “absolutely no idea” why the decision was made and asked why the Miami Field Office was not spearheading the case.

Some wop papist has some misgivings?

Let him make his case to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. To America, he’s just a traitor.

They are finally coming forward. A small trickle of heros at first and eventually a full torrent.

But like the good little political whore he is, he went ahead with it anyway.

The FBI is most likely 90% Democratic. My guess is that 60% of them are true believers. The rest are just going along with the program.

Maybe during the Cold War, the FBI was 50/50 Dem/Rep. But now that you have to live in Washjngton, D.C., it is guaranteed that you are a rat.

And yet, he blindly followed the unlawful, unconstitutional orders. If he and others like him refuse to enable the overlords, the overlords would have no power at all.

“Wop papist”? Really? I know you don’t mean it. But that kind of language only serves to divide us. After all, many solid conservatives are “wop papists”. Rudy Giuliani, for one.

See Jemian’s post #7 for a better criticism of the guy.

I guess you get your slurs condoned by Trump’s behavior.

(Honestly I think we’re too uptight about a little mild ethnic name-calling, but really it’s not right in public a’la Trump.)

If he had misgivings he should have had the balls to reject it

The entire country is divided! That ship sailed long ago. Time to reboot.

Any reason for the "papist" jab? Or is it just your overall hatred of Christ and all christians.
