The FBI may just have reelected Donald Trump
Flopping Aces ^ | 08-08-22 | DrJohn

The FBI raided the Mar a Lago home of Donald Trump this morning. democrats are frothing in excitement over the news, but none seem to have a grasp on the facts. The raid is said to have to do with classified documents allegedly removed from the White House. The warrant was approved by Merrick Garland, who managed to find time to do this when he's been so busy threatening school child mothers.

Here's where this goes off into the weeds:

The two sources, both briefed on the raid, said the agents who executed the search were from the Washington Field Office, the same office that whistleblowers recently complained to Sen. Charles Grassley was involved in political meddling into investigations involving Trump and Hunter Biden.
That same DC Field Office has been accused of abuse of power by whistleblowers.

The documents sought in the raid were already marked declassified because Trump declassified them.

Kash Patel, a former top Trump administration official, told Breitbart News on Wednesday that a report claiming classified materials were found at Mar-a-Lago is misleading and that the documents were actually already declassified by then-President Donald Trump, but the classification markings had not been updated.
On Hannity John Solomon posited a scenario-
The raid, if accurately described by the sources, stands in stark contrast to how the FBI dealt with similar allegations of mishandled classified emails by Hillary Clinton. In that case, the FBI worked through her lawyer, David Kendall, and even allowed Kendall to hold onto alleged classified materials inside a specialized safe in his office rather than conduct a raid.
But then, we know that a two-tiered justice system has been established in this country- one for the left and a much harsher one for the right.
The conservative watchdog Judicial Watch has sued the Justice Department to compel the release of “smoking gun” documents former President Donald Trump declassified and ordered release that detail misconduct in the FBI’s discredited Russia collusion investigation.
The suit was filed one week ago and announced today. Quite the coincidence. This might seem a good time for the Director of the FBI to take a powder, which he did. Alan Dershowitz tonight:

I need to see some extremely decisive and bold action from DeSantis right now if he wants support from people like me. Without that, I’m moving back to Trump.

The time to make a difference is now. I haven’t been confident that DeSantis has what it takes to dismantle the Deep State. His statement and actions now will define that.

I’m — at this point — not confident he will. Words mean nothing. Stand up and be bold...

Trump will never get back to the WH. They will tie him up in criminal court on a mishandling documents charge. Next will be a criminal charge stemming from Jan 6. They are trying to sway the minds of independents and women because they know Trump will have to get a good share of them to win. The base will stay with Trump, but a lot of others will become tired of the drama.

“Democratic operatives will kill Trump before that is allowed to happen.”

Photos show the night-raiders sent to storm Trump’s home were carrying assault rifles designed to kill as many people as quickly as possible.

The raid itself doesn’t move the needle, most people are open-minded. But what’s next? The FBI will comb through their booty and find SOME thing they can take to a grand jury. One classified document? Ten? How many does it take til they can make a case? Wanna bet they will find it?

The question will be how to Americans react AFTER Trump is indicted?

Which seems inevitable now that they’ve taken this unprecedented step of raiding his home. It shows their desperation because they aren’t dumb and know the fallout from this will be significant...but it was evidently the only card they had left to play to (in their minds) stop Trump’s influence.

Imagine being Chris Wray and having to report that after going over everything they hauled out, there just wasn’t one scrap of evidence that proved Trump did anything wrong. It is inconceivable now that they will not at least attempt to get an indictment, and how likely is it a grand jury would not indict him, especially in DC?

“I need to see some extremely decisive and bold action from DeSantis right now if he wants support from people like me.”

Another Pickett's Charge?

That is what they want - draw you into the open and destroy.

I'm wondering if DeSantis should instruct the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to stand down any cooperation with the FBI for 48 hours until Florida can confirm the FBI's reporting structure is intact and rogue agents are not in control.

The FBI needs a public face slapping right now. Then more later.

I’m with you 100% except we still have unfinished business from 2020 that has to be dealt with.

Nixon had his plumbers.

The Bidet Regime just uses the FIB.

How the times have changed.

Half of Americans are glad it happened...

I think the days of half-and-half estimating is over.

We're in majority territory.

That’s correct. They could file charges in a DC court today and get a conviction tomorrow.

The President is the ultimate decider on what is declassified or not, so Trump could not possess classified material if he already declassified it.

So are the feds going to make sure they find (plant) classified material?.
Looks like in the end there will be many people in court having to say how the came by the information in the first place after he’s been out of office all this time.

These are documents the DOJ wanted to keep hidden because they show the FBI’s Russiagate dirty work.

***********

Trump has a civil lawsuit open against a bunch of spygate actors. He sued Comey, McCabe, Page, Strzok and Clinesmith as well as others. A judge replaced those five with the FBI.

So these are the same documents that President Trump Declassified and the Department of Justice blocked being released to the public that Judicial Watch is now suing in court to get. He Declassified them and then they just did it release them after he left and they are definitely afraid of them being released to the public.

Move back? You should have never left.

I’m sure they will try. The bigger concern is if they do, is there anyone alive willing to walk to the capitol and start offing Senators and members of congress in return? No one knows this is a war yet and when they learn that it is will they be willing to fight it?

Not sure why. After all, weren’t we told liberty was a non-negotiable value? And yet, once deprived of it, everyone took it lying down.
