Trump Bowed To Pressure From Justice Department To REMAIN SILENT Until Raid Had Finished Over Fears Of Mob-Like Scenes At Mar-a-Lago

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.

Get everyone you know to the polls. Overwhelm the polls. If they cheat again, it will be blatant and the next steps can be taken.

And, did it assure that nothing of consequence would be found? Maybe, it was a tip off to protect Trump.

The elections are not stolen at the polls.

They are stolen well after the polls are closed....................

“Things will go badly if I don’t comply.”
“Things will go badly if I don’t comply.”
“Things will go badly if I don’t comply.”
“Things will go badly if I don’t comply.”
“Things will go badly if I don’t comply.”
“Things will go badly if I don’t comply.”

At some point, people should stop going along and just accept the idea that things have been going badly for decades. So it’s time to get real.

Where's 'ANONYMOUS'?

A list of EVERY employee of the FBI needs to be publicly released and they must be DOXXED.

This raid was a FISHING EXPEDITION and everybody knows it.

I watched Trump’s supporters who gathered outside Mar-a-Lago last night. It was a party atmosphere, upbeat, with music, although people were obviously concerned. All were peaceful. And yet mainstream media reports all used the meme: “ANGRY Trump supporters.”

This was intended to be the beginning of another set up. Trying to incite something. Now will somebody sketchy do something (like the Jan. 5 pipes?) that will be blamed on Trump supporters and then on Trump?

Like Impeachment 2.0, they want “Insurrection” 2.0.

The most likely scenario is Trump could be holding classified documents that implicate the swamp from top to bottom in treasonous acts. They know it and they must be retrieved at any cost.

What was the provenance and chain of custody of that “evidence?” You can’t even tell enough from the photos to be able to place these generic looking toilets in the White House. As for the notes, they look as if they’re very fresh. Ink didn’t even run. Do presidents use toilets available to everyone and anyone, especially someone who goes in right after the president to photograph papers that conveniently didn’t flush down but floated right back up without being tattered or faded? Anybody can rig up “evidence” like this and reporters (?) creating fictionalized books that they’re being paid $ for will have no repercussions. The anonymous sources won’t be tracked down and the author can just say she had no reason to suspect the source.

We’ll, in that case, we have to be ready to turn out into the streets if there’s even a hint of canceling elections. We didn’t protest the 2020 shutdowns (mostly because they were originally supported by Trump) and that let them run wild with the elections.

Don’t take it as a given. Say ¨”Never again!”

That’s what I think, too. Probably all that kept Trump from being indicted immediately after he left office. But those documents are probably already far beyond the Deep State’s reach.

It’s good to see that Radar found a good job after the Korean War was over, but you would think he would have retired by now.
