Damning Info in the Trump Affidavit That Raises Even More Questions About FBI/DOJ Action
Red State ^ | 08/28/2022 | Nick Arama

As we previously reported, journalist Paul Sperry was booted off of Twitter after he raised questions about the FBI raid of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

Real Clear Investigations is now tweeting some further questions that Sperry is raising about the affidavit that was released with redactions on Friday. They’re likely to get the ban hammer next, if Twitter interprets that as an attempt to evade a suspension.

Sperry notes multiple oddities in the affidavit that he has questions about.

When they refer to what was found in the 15 boxes, they refer to documents with “classification markings.” That leaves open the possibility that they aren’t classified any longer — that they may have been declassified. The affidavit says the documents “appear” to contain National Defense Information, but Sperry asks if they “triaged” the boxes, wouldn’t they know if it did or not?

There’s a line in there about “probable cause to believe evidence of obstruction will be found at the premises.” But as Sperry explains, there’s no heading about that “obstruction” or anything in the unredacted parts that justify this random sentence. The agent behind the affidavit says he believed the storage room and other spaces at Mar-a-Lago weren’t “currently” authorized for storage of classified information. Either they were or they weren’t, didn’t he know? And were they in the past and not now?

Then in the affidavit, there’s a letter dated June 8 mentioned, from the DOJ to Trump’s counsel, telling the Trump team that they have to keep the documents in the storage room until further notice.

So, they seem to think it wasn’t a secure location, but then they tell them to keep the documents there? They don’t take them immediately. They wait two months until the raid on August 8? Why not take them all when they took the original boxes? That seems to blow apart the claim that there was any urgency going on here.

Then of course they knew what was there because they told the Trump team to keep it there. Sperry interprets that as potentially trying to entrap Trump with what the DOJ told them to do. Why didn’t they just have NARA come and pick them up? If the DOJ told them to keep them there and now they turn around and said that’s wrong, then it’s hard to go after Trump for what the DOJ told them to do.

Sperry also picked up something else that was interesting — that according to the affidavit there were documents that had FISA markings. So, that might lend further credence to the report that the FBI may have been trying to grab Russia probe documents.

As the Trump legal team also explained, the affidavit raises “more questions than answers” — not explaining the justification for the raid. As they noted, the Presidential Records Act doesn’t provide for any criminal penalty–yet this seems to have been the premise under which the DOJ started this effort against Trump. Fortunately, it sounds like the judge may be going along with appointing a special master in the case.

But this screams like a fishing expedition. The GOP members in Congress need to demand some answers here from the FBI and the DOJ.

They are quiet, as usual. Almost NONE of them are rising to the occasion to condemn this massive Stasi / KGB violation of our sacred Constitution.

Trump wanted them to take 17 boxes. But that would be too obvious, 5 double D chess. ♟️♟️♟️♟️♟️

I think they didn’t find what they were after. Gathering up 17 boxes might have taken an hour. So why spend more than half a day in the residence? Draw your own conclusions, but I’m thinking Trump still has a thermonuclear device to drop on their heads.

DUmmies are getting restless, wondering why Trump is not in prison already. Looks like the left and the swamp repubs are very scared of Trump returning to power.

I have to wonder about that Carter Page FISA warrant from 2016. The released version had 20-something contiguous pages redacted, every jot and tittle blacked out. My pet theory is those pages were a Presidential override, which the statute provides for. If so they had to be redacted in toto because just about any part of the signing statement Obama inserted would have blown his cover.

The raid on Trump was panic in action. It appears to me the interagency syndicate is just about out of non-kinetic options.

I don’t knownabout damning, but if there was a memo that said “everything that touches Mar a Lago is declassified on my order”, that memo should be revealed pretty soon. At that point, it is up to the new president *who is largely concerned about the availability of ice cream this afternoon* to specifically reclassify those documents in a timely fashion and communicate the decision to the Trump team.

Wish this were true, but just as Obama/Clinton/Putin/Xi IC, DOJ, FBI, and Congress projected their own significant activity with Putin and Xi onto Trump, and multiple times inserted fraudulent docs “proof”, and inserted fraudulent phone transcripts between Zelensky and Trump to falsely frame Trump, and simultaneously de-rail the Trump, Pompeo, Guiliani, cooperative Zelensky anti-DNC-Kremlin corruption efforts long operational in Ukraine (which truly damaged long standing DNC/Soros/Putin corruption control’s of UA), the same HD hard left DOJ and FBI, and Congressional members absolutely will now AGAIN carefully *INSERT* false and fraudulent docs and records into the docs and boxes of files they unlawfilly and treasonously exfilled from Trump in Florida.

This IS ALREADY LEFTIST ESTABLISHED SOP AND M.O.

This is historically repeated secular humanist, Bolshevik, and Nazi M.O.

President Trump has everything catalogued and has ingeniously layed it with magazines, news articles, and other pages so the precise sequence of every box is known. Nothing can be inserted without it provably being an out of place insertion. There was a complaint about all those articles last week.

I get that, but Trump should be wise enough (not just because by the end of his first term he understood the swamp was out to get him, but also because he was the subject of thousands of lawsuits, multiple divorces, perpetual IRS audits, and hundreds of new York city real estate contracts that if it isn't written down, there is no proof that it happened. There should be no difficulty finding the location of a memo or document which references it or specifies that standing order.

Or two or three who will verify the standing order.

“President Trump has everything catalogued and has ingeniously layed it with magazines, news articles, and other pages so the precise sequence of every box is known. Nothing can be inserted without it provably being an out of place insertion.”

Certainly hope you are correct!

This would normally seem logical and reasonable to believe, but to date, even while assumed and expounded by many, I am unaware of actual proof, and no amount of human organization and protection is infallible and unbreakable.

As well, while I am a Trump supporter, Trump has been burned many times by people placed in his orbit.

Additionally, the fraud and treason is so pervasive and massive, there’s nothing the guilty, (who are in the highest levels of government), will not necessarily do to cover it all up.
