Lawyers for Donald Trump mediated with the FBI, Secret Service, and the Department of Justice and struck a deal that gagged the former president from disclosing the raid at Mar-a-Lago as it was underway, Radar has exclusively learned.
In the hour after the FBI made the sensational unannounced search of the Florida property on Monday, the two feuding factions – the Trump team and law enforcement — agreed to keep the raid quiet over concerns that pro-Trump supporters would turn violent.
It wasn’t until the vast majority of the agents who descended on Mar-a-Lago had left the scene that Trump took to social media, around 7 p.m., to decry what he labeled as a “raid.”
“Trump’s lawyers, the Secret Service, FBI and the Justice Department all convened to discuss the security operation that ran parallel to the search,” a source told RadarOnline.com.
“Everyone agreed the prospect of Trump supporters turning up to Mar-a-Lago was too significant — and the chance those supporters could violently storm the property all while the raid was underway was one they were not prepared to take.”
In wild scenes late into Monday, a horde of angry Trump supporters camped outside of Mar-a-Lago as broadcast networks reported live from the property.
One Trump fan also publicly identified as a member of the far-right Proud Boys.
A source told RadarOnline.com: “The Secret Service was charged with securing the property while the raid was underway.
“Trump’s people agreed he would not post on social media about the warrant until it was safe to do so. There was genuine concern at the highest levels that mob-like scenes — much like January 6 — could have erupted.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the FBI notified its counterparts at the Secret Service that a warrant was about to be executed prior to agents arriving.
The Secret Service facilitated access to the property without any issue.
RadarOnline.com published the first photo of a Secret Service agent brandishing a machine gun as he guarded the perimeter of property soon before sunset on Monday.
The search and seizure warrant was executed by the Department of Justice over a secret stash of classified documentsTrump had in his possession after leaving the White House.
As RadarOnline.com also revealed, the Justice Department penetrated the former president’s inner circle to secure crucial evidence that led to them executing the warrant.
Once inside Mar-a-Lago, they cracked open a safe and “ransacked” a closet and the private quarters of Trump, his son Eric said on FOX News.
I hate to agree with the Hofts and GP, but this raid when combined with things like the ridiculous inflation bill and with real inflation, woke schools, a demented POTUS, all show the Dems have zero fear about November. It’s fixed.
Very smart move on the part of the President.
Guaranteed there was a busload or two of agitators waiting around the block, in all their MAGA regalia, waiting to be let loose on any crowd of supporters.
Dead Jackboots avoided. What a great thing said....the FIB.
Bowed to pressure. I doubt that. Agreed to cooperate and remain silent., I accept.
Trump needs new lawyers.
That is exactly what I was thinking. Possibly an Amon Bundy type scene.
Thank God, image the videos of Trump supporters Twerking on top of a FBI car, or the deafening chants of USA!, USA! Or maybe Trump supporters singing the National Anthem….. or the position the FBI agents would be place in if the Trump Supporters said the Pledge of Allegiance…..
Trump shouldn’t have negotiated with his tormentors. He should have made this kniwn to all in real time and let the chips fall where they may. Acknowledging: This is blatant Monday morning quarterbacking. But We the People are heartily tired of being kept in the dark when events of great magnitude transpire in their absence and without their knowledge. (Some FBI bot somewhere surely just lit up. We can’t be allowed to utter the phrase “We the People” anymore and expect to remain unchastised by Brandon administration domestic investigators.)
This is hard to reconcile with the media’s narrative that President Trump was trying to incite a violent mob on 1/6.
I don’t know. In my mind there is definitely some connection to the story yesterday by Maggie Habermann regarding toilet bowl documents. It is well established that Maggie Habermann is the DNC’s go-to “journolist” when they want something out there. I am reasonably sure that Habermann is also a call girl for the FBI, CIA, and any other Deep State servicing.
Good point.
MI6 has a big payroll.
Always said underlings need to be held accountable. No more top to bottom .
That’s what I’ve been saying for the last two years. The elections are fixed. Corruption in the swamp has never been deeper. Store up on AFT.
So...did they put the documents there? Thar is how they supposedly knew?
I can’t argue with that daydream. It mirrors my own.
That’s Hillary cackling while sacrificing a six month old baby and swilling vodka.
And, we trust RadarOnline, why?
