5 questions you will never hear from the fascist media.
The FIB got away with RussiaGate via Court acquiescence, and will do so again — unless this somehow makes it up to a higher court, which, given the courts’ record on things Trump, is unlikely.
Meanwhile, we live under arbitrary rule.
If it was legal for a sitting President to declassify the documents at the time he left office, then it shouldn’t be legal for a new President to classify those documents.
No one was concerned from former Presidents, until Trump.
I think the warrant was overly broad.
.... if you don't articulate the probable cause you have nothing...that's the reason for the affidavit, incredible that a magistrate would sign that without demanding they articulate the probable cause imo.
“4. Was the approved search warrant overly broad, and did it result in illegal over-collection of evidence?”
4th Amendment:
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
Now all you have is speculation and the creation of doubt instead of proof.

This is harassment. Draining time and money.
They will target DeSantis next.
6th Question: Did the government or its operatives time the warrant request to coincide with the vacation of the regular magistrate so that Judge Bruce Reinhart would be the substitute deciding on their application? Was the regular magistrate’s schedule known, and to whom?
And they still got nuthin’.
He knew nothing about it, or so he says, so he couldn't have been consulted, much less given an opportunity comment or issue a waiver.
Let's say "The White House" issued this statement, did Brandon even see it, initial it, or have any knowledge of it?
Who, then, in the White House acted as President without Brandon's knowledge? Who's really in charge, and should someone tell Brandon who that is?
Most Freepers could write endlessly and provide proof to a variety of answers to the first question, but all of those answers can be reduced and abstracted to two words taking the form of ‘deep state’ or ‘administrative state’.
There are a variety of solutions, but it seems to me that a true long term solution requires that the deep state never reconstitutes itself again. That requires understanding how the deep state works. It’s not difficult to understand. It reduces to incompetent people that ban together to form political alliances to advance their careers. I strongly believe that most people employed by government are incompetent. They lack the intelligence, the education, the American individualism, the skills, the motivation, the risk taking and the belief that they can provide for themselves in the private sector. Those things are often instilled at a young age, reinforced by parents and teachers. It is often a generational problem. At the deepest psychological level, there is a shared belief among all government employees. That is fear that requires satiation through safety. Concretely, that manifests itself in employment without consequences. Government employees cannot be fired and rarely can be demoted. Unions, civil and executive service designations insure that this is the case. This is the safety net of government employees. Government employees can play the politics of the deep state to advance in their careers with the only consequence of failure being remaining at their current grade level and continuing to receive guaranteed increases in pay.
The solution is simple. Eliminate public sector unions. Eliminate the civil and executive services. Make all government employment ‘at will’. Limit government employment to a total of twelve years, inclusive of local, state and federal service. Benefits should be limited so that thoset that are employed in government are not enriched by anymore than their salaries and personal investments can provide under the strict constraints of investments being limited to broad based ETFs. There should not be any retirement plans or pensions sponsored by government, or more accurately, the taxpayers.
The grass must be greener in the private sector. Government employees knowing that they will have to return to the private sector after, at most, twelve years will be motivated to work towards and make decisions that fosters private sector health.
The deep state must never manifest itself in other forms. Primarily, there cannot be a pipeline from government to government contractors. That pipeline cannot work in either direction. Government employees and employees of government contractors should be prohibited from being employed government and government contracting companies for a period of six years after employment of either.
Additionally, all legislation produced by Congress must address the effectiveness and efficiency of government programs through defined metrics of success. When those metrics are not met the government program shall be immediately abolished. This stops another aspect of the deep state from persisting. Namely, the organizational organs that continue for generations. The processes and procedures of ineffective government organizations allows the deep state to persist. It provides continuity between generations of government employees. There are some constitutionally required and valuable government programs. They will remain in place if they meet their metrics for success. It must be Congress, as representatives of the people, that determines the metrics, not government agencies.
Lastly, no government employee or organization can ever define or create any mandate, law or regulation. This needs to be purely the responsibility of Congress. Government organizations and employees shall solely be the implementers of laws, regulations and mandates. The people do not elect government employees and government employees shall never have the ability to affect American lives and businesses other than specifics passed into law by the representatives of the people.
#6—Did the AG (or his prosecutor) seek the opinion of the Office of Legal Council (OLC) prior to the raid?
If not, why not? And are they doing so now?
And if not, why not?
The OLC is considered to be THE section of DOJ that renders opinions of legality regarding Executive branch legal affairs and questions. Look it up.
It’s very unusual to not seek their buy-in on an action like this. They are the “best of the best” in the Executive branch, and can usually predict wether some action will meet constitutional muster in courts.
This would definitely fall under their purview prior to launching.
