The left was coming after President Donald Trump, daring him to release the warrant regarding the FBI raid on his home.
Trump isn’t blinking. He’s not acting like someone who thinks he has a lot to fear from this. He announced he was all for releasing the warrant, and he now he’s commented on how the raid was completely unnecessary. He had been in talks with the National Archives for a while and had already turned over several boxes of documents in June. So that’s why the raid isn’t making logical sense.
We wrote about the warrant being unsealed and some of the documents that were allegedly seized. But we also reported how they got the warrant on August 5 but didn’t serve it until August 8. So if there was some big national security concern about the documents, why did they wait three days? They didn’t exactly make it seem like there was anything urgent by doing that.
As Trump commented on Friday, all they had to do is ask.

That’s the big question here — why they just didn’t ask? Trump had already been turning over documents cooperatively, as evidenced by his turning over boxes in June. The DOJ has not explained that it wasn’t possible to ask or even issue a subpoena to get what they wanted. According to Fox, it isn’t even like Trump had packed the boxes — the GSA packed them. So Trump didn’t even remove them, they were sent to him. So if there’s something funny in there, ask the GSA. But if the FBI had asked, then they wouldn’t get the big headlines and the controversy that someone might hope would hurt the chances of Trump and the Republicans in the future elections. As we noted, if someone had that thought, that seems to have backfired on them, with it increasing Trump’s support and him still topping the betting odds to win in 2024.
Trump also questioned why the FBI wouldn’t let his lawyers watch the search. His lawyers had raised concerns that leave open the possibility that things could be planted.
But then here’s another problem with the warrant: talk about being overbroad, it said they were seeking any document created the whole time that Trump was in office. This is just ridiculous.
Tell me without telling me the Trump raid was a fishing expedition.

It also extended to any room in the home that could contain documents. There were reports that they even searched the bedroom and Melania’s closet. That screams fishing expedition too.
The comparison between how Trump is being treated by the FBI versus how Hillary Clinton was treated is stark. There was no raid on her home. This even though she set up a whole private server to avoid inspection and had classified information on it. Unlike Trump, she could not declassify the information. Let’s not forget how she deleted some 30,000 emails that she tried to claim were just wedding invitations and such things. Then, there were the destroyed Blackberrys. But all that got a pass.
The Deep State is in deep doo doo.
The arm waving, ranting and obfuscating word games will die out and they will be left having to explain the most nonsensical breach of public trust committed by any body of the U.S. government in our history.
The FBI searched Melania’s closet and wardrobe? J. Edgar Hoover would have been so proud.
What clue was he waiting for?
The subpoena?
The negotiations?
Did they need to say pretty please?
His answers sound like something a 13 year old would say.
But then the Trump haters wouldn’t have the story of the FIB raiding the former president’s home looking for “classified” documents.
You’re projecting there, skippy. He said “all they had to do was ask.”
This will go way over your paygrade but, there are obvious legal reasons to require being asked.
the raid was completely unnecessary?
They had to go back and pick up their planted evidence from earlier
without anyone seeing what they were gathering.
skippy is a no-no.
The far left hacks kept pressuring Garland to prosecute Trump. He had been reluctant but he jumped the shark to placate these Trump haters.
The weasel is probably kicking himself for giving in to the jerks of which now he’s one of them.
The poster or the word?
I'll still be right. :)
J Edgar would have seized Melania’s things for personal use
Wray’s panty raid..
Brandon got tired of sniffing little girls hair and wanted something else to sniff
Donald Trump running the table in Arizona they just freak them out. They know he’s back and they’re trying to get rid of him. They have taken out a lot of his people with this is a mafia hit. All they had to do was ask. But Merill Garland the little Gestapo who should know better acted like a 1939 thug. What next Gestapo Garland concentration camps for Maga people?
WTF do you think the subpoena “asked”?
Or do you think it was just an invitation to tea?
Try ignoring a federal Subpoena. See how far you get.

Show me that subpoena. You can’t can you?
They didn’t ask because while the Mara Lago saga unfolded a traitorous Congress teamed up with the fake President to fund a massive army under guise of IRS that’s been stockpiling ammo & now has job description that includes carrying/using firearms. This to me is the terrifying news of the day. A globalist army against the people.
Yet because of the staged raid on Mara Lago, no one’s making a big deal about a funded globalist army that can destroy us.
