DOJ source calls raid a 'spectacular backfire,' claims AG Garland didn't approve it
Hot Air ^ | 10 Aug 2022 | John Sexton

It seems the DOJ has decided to leak an explanation of their decision to use a search warrant in this case. Newsweek just published an exclusive report based on anonymous DOJ sources which claims the FBI had a confidential source at Mar-a-Lago, one who informed them that Trump was hiding documents and even specified where they could be found.

The raid on Mar-a-Lago was based largely on information from an FBI confidential human source, one who was able to identify what classified documents former President Trump was still hiding and even the location of those documents, two senior government officials told Newsweek.

Before we go any further, remember that the FBI apparently brought along a safe-cracker who opened Trump’s safe. Presumably that suggests they were told by their confidential source that there were documents hidden in the safe. But by all accounts there was nothing in the safe and the FBI didn’t take anything from it. Does that mean the confidential source got it wrong?

Garland: I want no part of this, unless it succeeds. In that case I’m claiming full credit.

Is this the “pulverizing amount of evidence” the media is talking about? Sounds more like the same old flimsy evidence from an unnamed source.

Biden claims he knew nothing about it. In which case neither Garland nor Wray informed him which is grounds for dismissing them. Now Garland says he knew nothing... so who the hell is running the DoJ?!

I’m sure Wray didn’t approve it either. The Wind made it happen.

Yeah...

This situation really stinks. There is so much misinformation (I hate using that word) out there right now. It is all misdirection. The only truth that can be believed right now is this government are all liars. The government cannot tell the truth. Be very wary of what they say.

What non-sense!!
What lies!!

Why a Grand Jury for documents that the POTUS could declassify any time he wanted!!

They were there to cover the DOJ, Biden, and the FBI butt by getting a declassified documents that were dangerous if leaked to the public.

Denying that they approved it is ludicrous. Yes, they clearly found NOTHING. Sad

Is it possible... and I have a hard time believing it.... Could it be that they are not evil geniuses, but actually.... stupid on a galactic level?

At some level, yes, they are stupid on a galactic level.

They are saying Wray did it without Garlands approval. If that’s true Garland has to terminate Wray immediately......or we will know it’s not true.

My dumb a$$ brother in law thinks it’s all the gospel.

Says he wants Trump and every person associated with him thrown in jail. He doesn’t appear to believe the Constitution or the law should stand in the way of that.

I honestly believe he wouldn’t bat an eye if I and other conservatives were loaded on to cattle cars and “disappeared”. I believe his attitude is the rule rather than the exception among Democrat voters.

The DC machine runs itself. The oversight is just an illusion. Keep that tax $$$ rolling in people.

Liars. Notice how they all dissolve back into the woodwork, while their media propaganda apparatus handles it for them. They’re all out for summer break. The left is nothing but liars, theives and fraudsters. Everything they say and do is fraud.
