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

Posted on 08/10/2022 7:41:26 PM PDT by Rummyfan

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?

I’m open to the notion that this account is “possibly true.” I’ll move it to “probably true” column when some people lose their jobs over it. Waiting….

Garland didn’t approve it and Biden didn’t know. Pffffft. Big time CYA going on here. That’s just not believable.

Remember when the Obama administration sold M-16s to Mexican drug lords? Supposedly Obama didn’t know. Bullshite! I’m sure there is no piece of paper with his signature authorizing it, but it’s not believable that he didn’t know.

This is some administration (regime). The president knew nothing about it. The AG knew nothing about it. Just a bunch of low-level FBI agents decided to raid and invade a former president’s residence and take 15 boxes of random stuff to see what they could find.

Please, spare me. This was an all-out fishing expedition. Find something, anything construed as criminal. If not, then plant it. As Dan Bongino said, this is not evidence of a crime looking for the person, this is looking at the person and trying to find a crime. (Exactly the same as J6 committee).

Guess what the punishment is for violating the Presidential Records Act?

Absolutely nothing! And AG Garland had a Grand Jury empaneled that said Trump did violate the act. So F’ing what. It’s not a Felony, Misdemeanor or even a traffic ticket.

I don’t believe it.

I do believe they had assets apply and get on the inside.

They had UK Spy assets interviewing for WH jobs - and they didn’t get hired.

Just like the RAID to get Ashley Biden’s diary - unprecedented in history. That comes from a President to AG conversation, nothing else makes sense.

Dollar to donuts, they got FISA surveillance again on Trump and his family and Congressmen they view as close to Trump.

Per a previous post PDJT had previously notified the FBI where the doc’s in question were stored. The FBI asked him to install an additional lock - which he did.

So of course they knew where the doc’s were stored.

We will never get the truth from them. It’s why we need to scrap these bureaucracies.

They wanted to build a case from what they confiscated. It would not be the Records Act, which is routinely ignored.

That was there in, with a dirty / compromised Judge.

What did the President know, and when did he know it?

Garland and Wray found out about it from the news.

Well this proves who really is in charge of the government and ordered the FBI raid on Mara Lago.
