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.

“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.”
This. is. it. You nailed it.
President Trump needs to watch his back and we need to pray for his safety.
Its too bad that Trump could not have put Rudy in charge of the DOJ during his time in office. It would be a different world today.
“That means the cover story is a lie and the warrant is document created by perjured testimony.”
Ratcliffe continued. “I was a former federal prosecutor, United States attorney. Let me tell you what this is about.

They certainly want to do this, but they may not. They have already decided not to charge Trump prior to the election, certainly because their own assessment has told them that it will hurt them in November. They will make another assessment after the election and unless they discover that that will be a bad political move, they will indict him. They will continue until they are forced to stop by the voters.
I agree. I think Trump had it. I think they knew Trump had it. And he knew they knew.
I think Trump already turned it over to Durham.
Which means they are screwed.
If my theory is right, I WILL LAUGH MY A$$ OFF.
That’s what the NeverTrumpers say. Don’t think that.
The FBI knew what Trump had and knew they would find nothing. The point of the raid was to continue discrediting Trump, as they have done since the first fraudulent FISA warrants.
That is probably why we are not seeing an indictment of Trump!
Then the FBI needs to raid Durham's wife's underwear drawers. Trump may be using Durham as his librarian.
Department of Justice found what it was looking for.
Biden and the democrats must be in a mega panic mode by now can’t cover up what is so dangerous to them look for another Adolph speech soon.
