Exclusive: An Informer Told the FBI What Docs Trump Was Hiding, and Where
Newsweek ^ | 8/10/22 | William M. Arkin

Posted on 08/10/2022 1:15:48 PM PDT by Callahan

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.

The officials, who have direct knowledge of the FBI's deliberations and were granted anonymity in order to discuss sensitive matters, said the raid of Donald Trump's Florida residence was deliberately timed to occur when the former president was away.

FBI decision-makers in Washington and Miami thought that denying the former president a photo opportunity or a platform from which to grandstand (or to attempt to thwart the raid) would lower the profile of the event, says one of the sources, a senior Justice Department official who is a 30-year veteran of the FBI…

“why would he let some maid know where it was?”

Not the maid. Someone closer — setting him up for a loyalty test:

1st to say it: MARK MEADOWS

He was probably told by Trump certain documents were in the ‘new’ safe.

I think it was a sting... on Meadows.
That’s my theory.”

"BS. Why would it take 9 hours and why would they bring a safe cracker to open an empty safe.

Toilet paper. Stamped SECRET and still unsqueezed.

This wasn’t about the National Archives docs. The FBI were looking to eradicate docs Trump had that incriminates them and their criminal activities.

More to come as this progresses, I think...

Donald called me this morning to let me know that the FBI had taken the Captain Midnight Secret Decoder Ring that I had lent him. He was apologetic. I let him know that it was Ok and that I still had an Orphan Annie decoder ring and a Sky King decoder compass. I told him if he would promise to run on ‘24 that I would send him the decoder compass straight away. He was pleased. I like Donald.

Trump did this before while in the White House, to sniff out a mole he came up with phony BS just to see who would leak it first..I think the reason why TWO DAYS LATER ZERO statement from the feds, nothing from the DOJ, they have massive and I mean MASSIVE EGG on their faces and they know it..if they had anything good to report that hurt Trump, if that warrant had anything bad to hurt Trump, Schiff would have leaked it to CNN days ago

I just heard O’Reilly on Hannity saying don’t say that the FBI planted evidence. He said it would be impossible to take a document to Florida, etc. Reception was bad so I am not quite sure, but it sounded like what he said.

The FBI will plant evidence in Washington, D. C. if they think they can get away with it.

And, Dan Bongino was cautioning people about what they post on social media and what they say to other people because the FBI is watching. He sounded like we are living in Stalinist Russia.

Apparently the confidential informant was Donald J Trump.

He told the FBI exactly where all the docs were stored.

They had the key to the room.

Please note. They can’t make any public statement BUT

They can leak the entire story including grand jury secrets, to Newsweek, to defend themselves.
And their defense includes “Hey we’re buerocrats and this was just case number 27 out of a 100 that day, we didn’t expect anyone to notice, and hey we didn’t even wear our shiny blue jackets that day.”

So their cover up is absolutely preposterous.

Hmmm. 9 hours indicates they were played because they obviously didn’t find what they expected and where they expected it.

Bill O’Reilly is a moderate Leftist and true believer in the system...He also is a bit delusional in much of his thinking as I watch him most nights and he can’t grasp the notion that this Government has gone rogue.
