President Donald Trump late Tuesday night railed against the 2022 raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate, calling the FBI's action an "unreasonable search and seizure" and agreeing with a follower's social media post calling for the arrests of former FBI Director Christopher Wray and former Attorney General Merrick Garland.
"Unreasonable Search and Seizure!!! That was the FBI's CRIMINAL RAID on Mar-a-Lago. This can never be allowed to happen again!!!," Trump posted on Truth Social.
And when a follower under the name of @Jay_Anthony45 said that "Someone should be arrested. Wray & Garland," Trump responded, "and many others!!!"
Earlier on Tuesday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released newly declassified emails that showed FBI agents didn't believe they had the authority to raid Trump's property in Florida in August 2022, but were pressured to take action by then-President Joe Biden's Justice Department.
"Received shocking new docs today from DOJ & FBI showing FBI DID NOT BELIEVE IT HAD PROBABLE CAUSE to raid Pres Trump's Mar-a-Lago home but Biden DOJ pushed for it anyway," Grassley said in a post on X Tuesday. "Based on the records Mar-a-Lago raid was a miscarriage of justice."
He also posted communications that had taken place between the FBI and Justice Department officials in the weeks before the raid, dated from June 2022 through shortly before the raid, which took place on Aug. 8, 2022.
In the documentation, the FBI's Washington Field Office, referred to as "WFO," said that it "does not believe" that "we have established probable cause for the search warrant for classified records" at Mar-a-Lago.
FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday confirmed reports that the raid took place despite internal concerns that probable cause for the search warrant had not been established.

“ We need bigger jails!”
Apparently not
Did they get arrested? Put in jail?
NOBODY has been arrested.
NOBODY is in jail.
Sadly, Bondi and Kash have No taste or guts for that.
Trump will have to replace Blondi if he wants to see any of these people brought to Justice.
Sorry President Trump, the people you selected, Bondi and Patel, do not arrest people. It seems their function is to keep the base riled up, with expectations of legal action that never materializes.
How can you arrest them when a Judge found there WAS probable cause and issued the warrant. Sure the judge was crooked but that is still an unassailable defense for the FBI here.
Arrest the judge.
I think I see the problem.
Trump loves to tell his adoring fans what needs to be done instead of ORDERING the people he hired to do these things what they need to do.
Seriosly? Of course not.
Government Accountability by Republicans - don’t hold your breath.
OUTCOME: Democrats will do even worse unethical illegal things the next time they have the power.
Calling for the arrests of former FBI Director Christopher Wray and former Attorney General Merrick Garland.
It’s a must happen if it isn’t stopped now it will be a way of life for Republican president.
Bolsheviks never rest
Word to Trump: “then get rid of the FBI”
The perp walk parade, which is so necessary, being what true patriots have been waiting for, for so long, hasn’t materialized yet. So frustrating.>>> Agree. He should just get rid of the FBI.
A lot depends on the exact wording of the sworn affidavit used to obtain the search warrant. That is where you convince the judge that probable cause exists. I have heard that certain law enforcement officers have occasionally stretched the law and embellished the actual facts of the case. That might be what happened here.
“The sound and the fury, signifying nothing.”
Wake me up when a Dem enters a Federal Correctional Institution to begin serving his sentence.
Carrot, meet Stick.
King Obama, and his Demented Puppet Traitor Joe, used the government for political purposes.
If the Democrats really don’t want ‘Kings’ They should rally behind the arrest and prosecution of those that assisted King Obama and Traitor Joe....... but Don’t hold your breath for Justice here.
Interestingly, Judge Reinhardt approved the search warrant. He was not appointed to the post by presidential nomination in 2018. Senate deMS-13s blocked Trumps nominee so the Obama appointed district judges approved Reinhardt to the position.
EC
That is possible. But I think they also knew this judge would give them a warrant without even reading the affidavit.
