Exclusive: An Informer Told the FBI What Docs Trump Was Hiding, and Where
Newsweek ^ | 8/10/22 | William M. Arkin

Posted on 08/10/2022 1:15:48 PM PDT by Callahan

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.

The officials, who have direct knowledge of the FBI's deliberations and were granted anonymity in order to discuss sensitive matters, said the raid of Donald Trump's Florida residence was deliberately timed to occur when the former president was away.

FBI decision-makers in Washington and Miami thought that denying the former president a photo opportunity or a platform from which to grandstand (or to attempt to thwart the raid) would lower the profile of the event, says one of the sources, a senior Justice Department official who is a 30-year veteran of the FBI…

Uh huh, so one of the hiding places was Melania’s closet, perhaps even in her lingerie (which undoubtedly some of the male FIB agents tried on).

An informer, insider? Indoor staff? What did he/she plant, and how much was he/she paid to do so?

It’s not going to work.

Anger is a much stronger emotion than fear, and these federal scumbags have pissed off vast numbers of people throughout America.

I wish Trump had stashed a copy of Hunter’s laptop in the safe.

Yet it took them nine hrs to find it including an empty safe lol the feds got set up my guess by trump and meadows they fell for it and look like damn fools

Or Trump's security detail knew this raid was coming anyway and the FBI got sent on a 9-hour search that will lead to a wild-goose chase. 4-D political chess indeed. 😏😉😆

“based largely on information from an FBI confidential human source”

Probably Trump, using one of those voice manipulation thingies, setting the trap. “Yeah. Yeah. Be sure to check the ... ahem ... SAFE! There’s a lotta good stuff in there!)

If Biden claims he didn’t know about this he needs to fire Garland for making a move like this without informing him. If Garland is claiming he was not informed he needs to fire every single agent who participated in this without proper authorization and then resign for failing to do his job.

This is starting to look like another FIB setup job to bring an American president down. Ungood. Anybody who buys that crap in those boxes was taken from Mar-A-Lago is a heavy duty retard.

In an article yesterday, a former FBI agent or lawyer (don’t remember which) stated his OPINION that the FBI got information from an inside source. Today, the idiot Newsweek presents that as being fact from an inside source. This is the crap the corrupt media always does.

Merrick Garland is running one heck of a department of nonjustice. Imagine what he would have been like had he been confirmed for the supreme court.

Trump’s mistake was that he didn’t wipe the documents, you know, like with a cloth or something.

Biden knew all about it and Garland did too. They’re both slime.

Why 10 hours? Well, let’s say Melania had, oh, say 100 outfits there. You gotta give the fibs some slack for how much work it would be to try all those on. But the other pic I want to see is Melania burning everything the dirtbagz touched. And she will know!

This is like when they leak false info to WAPO and NYT and then put that article in the FISA Application as Probable Cause.

Hunter Biden and his Uncle James would be spending their 14th year in Prison if they applied the same standard.

Anonymous sources who were committing a crime by leaking, if they do know what they are talking about, or liars if they don’t- but to whom the author is trying to provide cover by implying they were authorized /”granted” to leak.
