.. so many that he lost count. I'll copy them all, and don't think I skipped one (he jumped from "Third" to "Fifth" [ADDED: and from "Tenth" to "Twelfth"]):
As a lawyer, former federal prosecutor, and current member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I have a few questions about the FBI’s raid of Mar a Lago. First, did Attorney General Garland personally sign off on this action?
Second, why break into the safe rather than seize it, take it into custody, and then seek a warrant to open it?
Third, why obtain and execute a search warrant rather than first seeking the items in question either through an informal process or with a subpoena? Fifth, perhaps there’s something here we don’t know—something that, once known, will clarify the reasons for the raid. If there is, FBI needs to bring forward the justification for this unprecedented action—as soon as possible. But if there isn’t, we’ve got problems at the FBI.
Sixth, classification authority belongs to the president of the United States — and NOT to bureaucrats at the National Archives.
Seventh, if this turns out to be the product of the growing political weaponization of federal law enforcement agencies, shouldn’t this incident cause all Americans to be even more outraged by the Democrats’ plan to hire an additional 87,000 agents?
Eighth, how is this aggressive action defensible in light of the FBI/DOJ treatment of Hillary Clinton, who was never subjected to a raid like this, even though she (1) mishandled classified material, and (2) destroyed evidence?
Ninth, what should we make of the fact that this is occurring while FBI and DOJ have taken no discernible action regarding (for example) flagrant violations of the law by (a) Hunter Biden, or (b) pro-abortion extremists threatening Supreme Court justices at their homes?
Tenth, why should we assume that the FBI is above targeting Republicans when it creates documents like this one, which encourages agents to be suspicious of people who display the Betsy Ross Flag or the “don’t tread on me” Gadsden Flag?
Twelfth, shouldn’t all Americans be suspicious of the FBI based on its use of warrantless “backdoor searches” under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (about which Christopher Wray expressed very little concern when I questioned him at last week’s hearing)?
And what will you do about it, lee?
Maybe you should write a letter to save the Republic.
Now we’ll hear from all the impotent RINOs, some of whom are undoubtedly giggling like school girls over the raid.
I wrote stern letter to the Times./s
That’s easy. They just say they can’t comment on ongoing investigations.
The next congress will have to sharply reduce the budget of the DOJ to get their attention and cooperation.
All of this was done without a warrant.
WOW!
The constitution is dead.
Is that like a strongly worded letter?
He just did it.
The next congress will have to sharply reduce the budget of the DOJ to get their attention and cooperation.

Zero out the FBI’s. budget.
so we will get a Trey Gowdy type hearing full of fire and brimstone which signifies nothing
He’ll bring in some H1B visa lawyers. Mormons suck. Do we really need these snakes in our party? Every Mormon I ever worked with was a virtue signaling, backstabbing POS.
Biden needs to be rolled up in this. A direct line from Biden, to Garland to Wray to every last FBI field scum agent needs to be established. Everyone of them is guilty until found innocent. That’s the way they operate and they need to be treated the same way.
yep..they need to whip up votes yesterday on zero for 3 agencies
Imagine all the fundraising these useless pricks can engage in!!!
Heard these FBI agents were out of DC and local FBI office got notice at the last minute. I suspect the DC agents were there to plant evidence.
August 8...the raid on Mar-a-lago occurs on the 6th anniversary of this:
August 8, 2016: In a text message on August 8, 2016, Lisa Page stated, ‘[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!’ Strzok responded, “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it.” 203
Defund the FBI.
Yep, Hillary had classified documents on a private server, in her private residence. No search warrants, no raid by the FBI, no criminal charges. But she was a Democrat of course.
Why do you say this was done without a warrant? The article says the opposite.
