Former DNI: DOJ Didn't Find What It Was Looking for in Mar-a-Lago Raid
PJ Media ^ | SEP 01, 2022 | MATT MARGOLIS

Posted on 09/03/2022 12:09:09 PM PDT by conservative98

Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s Jesse Watters Primetime that he did not think the Department of Justice found what it was looking for during the raid of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Fla.

He also accused the Department of Justice of not being fully transparent.

“The judge would appoint the special master, and it would be an extension of the court,” Ratcliffe told fill-in host Judge Jeanine Pirro. “I do think that it’s the right thing to do. The DOJ’s position is number one, we don’t need a special master…we’ve already sorted everything and looked at everything. Take our word for it that it was done. As you pointed out, they had attorney-client privilege in there, so the taint team that was looking at this didn’t do their job.”

“And, you know, all of this, listen, you presided over a lot of cases,” Ratcliffe continued. “I was a former federal prosecutor, United States attorney. Let me tell you what this is about. Good prosecutors with good cases play it straight. They don’t need to play games, they don’t need to shop for judges, they don’t need to leak intelligence that may or may not exist. And in this case, this tells you that the government didn’t find what they were looking for.”

He added, “There weren’t nuclear secrets in Melania Trump’s underwear drawer, and they’re trying to justify what they’ve done. They’re not playing it straight before the American people.

ISIS targeting information from 2017 is no longer a secret.

Barr video....

Hint to law enforcement: Check under each of Barr’s chins and the fat folds behind his neck. And narcotics smugglers sometimes use the hollow legs of chrome furniture——see if the bagpipes are really empty.

True story from rock n’ roll. Canned Heat management got deals without their asking in order to have brand new sets of amplifiers and other equipment several times. They didn’t know that inside were millions of dollars worth of drugs in hidden trap compartments as in dealers’ cars.

The file folders are probably empty because the stuff that was in them was handed over.

They stole desk junk, passports, clothing and unclassified docs.

Then they threw stuff on the floor, took pics and leaked it.

These are the same toilet floaters who pushed the Russia lie.

That means the cover story is a lie and the warrant is document created by perjured testimony.

Just in case anybody isn’t aware,

1. there are such things as faked search warrants
or
real ones that are supported by faked claims and falsified evidence

2. there are searches which are designed to Plant evidence
on innocent victims

3. there are searches which include as much theft of valuable personal property as they can grab and get away with

4. there are searches which are intended to be harassment

5. there are searches which are intended to be intimidating

6. and ... searches of political opponents is apparently getting quite common

7. and... it is more profitable to search the rich estates than to search poor folks’ shacks

... just saying this one has almost all the earmarks of a fake operation

Couldn't find the evidence Trump has of the attempted treason from within the government, including Biden to overthrow the US government and overthrow a sitting President.

This is serious business. It's not paddy cakes and can't be toned down with the brainless, juvenile, Tucker/Fox News Russia, Russia, Russia crap.

They had to fix the election to keep him from getting in office. Now he's becoming a real serious threat, hence the raid. Then Biden had to come out trying to incite riots and turn the nation away from anything and all things Trump and us.

Recently they're coming out of the woodwork. Strock has come out, Barr has come out, McCabe has come out...They're really worried now because they need to destroy the evidence but can't find it.

If they don’t and Trump runs, whoever he runs against will bring this up endlessly “He stole top secret documents! He stole top secret documents! He stole top secret documents!” and the Marxist propaganda media will report on it as fact which could have been the whole purpose of this raid in the first place. Trump needs to start filing lawsuits for slander.

Now they might drain the intercoastal waterway to look for Russia Hoax Crime by federal officials documents. They have done lakes and ponds.

The court would just appoint someone like Eric Holder as special master. It would be a joke.
