The attorneys for President Donald Trump are now spilling the beans on some of the issues with the FBI raid of his home and the search warrant.
Trump attorney Alina Habba appeared on Fox News with Jesse Watters. She said that they had been cooperating with the National Archives over the records and that this was completely “unconstitutional.” “Our country should be terrified—I am terrified,” Habba exclaimed. She said the FBI went in when he wasn’t even there, and then told his attorneys to leave, that they couldn’t watch or be there. “That doesn’t sound good to me,” she declared.
Habba said the agents came in wearing backpacks, and she was concerned that they could have planted things since they were trying to get the attorneys out of there. Habba said she believed this was all part of the effort to try to take Trump down, and that people were “working in tandem” with other efforts.
“There is more than people know that you’ll be hearing,” Habba explained. “If he wasn’t ahead in the polls, this wouldn’t be happening.” It’s “100 percent” politically motivated, she declared. “I don’t trust the government, and that’s a very frightening thing as an American,” she said. “This is third-world stuff, this is Cuba. This is not our country.”
Watters asked about the warrant, and Habba said the attorneys on the ground weren’t given the warrant during the raid — they were only allowed to look at it.
Now, here’s Trump attorney Christina Bobb on Real America’s Voice. She was the attorney who was on site. She explains that they initially wouldn’t even let her see the warrant, but then did; they were reluctant to let them have it. It’s not clear from what she says if they ultimately were able to obtain it at some point. She also explained that the probable cause for the warrant was sealed, so that they can’t even know what it was unless they go to court to find out.
She confirmed that it was due to the Presidential Records Act, which the host indicated has never been prosecuted–one of the many reasons this “rationale” to seize documents from Trump’s home is ridiculous. She said they also were looking for classified documents. “The irony of both…is it is the president [Trump] himself who gets to decide what is a presidential record. So, why they get to redefine that is unclear and why they get to search, why that’s even in a warrant, it doesn’t really make any sense,” she said. “The same thing with any potential classified information.”
What is ridiculous about all this is how opposed this is to how they treated Hillary Clinton, whose home was never raided, who was never gone after for getting rid of her emails or having classified documents on her private server.
Bobb explained to RSBN how this was completely unprecedented to pursue a former president this way — that Hillary Clinton even took furniture and other items from the White House when the Clintons left, and she just got an email to return things.
On top of what the attorneys said, as I noted in my Trump family reaction story, the FBI also wanted the Mar-a-Lago security cameras shut off while they were conducting their raid. Why? The only thing one can think is that they didn’t want the camera to catch something that they were doing.
So, there’s a lot to be concerned about with the overreach here.
No....our country is GONE already....it will NEVER get back because half of our country is PURE EVIL....KILL MORE BABIES!! AND GAY EVERYTHING and now TRANS and PEDO!!
I agree with that.
I suppose I would make exceptions for military equipment, including nuclear codes.
And also spies based in foreign countries.
But anything domestic? Especially budgets and spending plans? I want to see everything out in the open. No secrets.
Likewise ... the FBI has not one shred of credibility. They're the Gestapo/Stasi enforcement arm of the democrats ... the most corrupt law enforcement agency in the U.S.
One team of FBI Crooks planted something then the next team of FBI Crooks found it. Mission Accomplished!!
The FBI is too used to pushing people around, expecting that the people don't know their own rights.
If the probable cause was sealed on the pretense that it was regarding classified information, that still doesn't let them kick people out so they can't watch the FBI searching their premesis.

I would disagree. The backpacks are probably loaded with newly printed documents that have never been identified to be released. Probably all Russia-Russia-Russia documents.
who signed tge order for the warrant?
That person’s life must be forfeit
If there is no law, them there is no law
The FBI is untrustworthy, therefore, anything that comes from this raid is untrustworthy.
biden just nominated a new Archivist of the U.S. last week. Coincidence?
“The intent all along has been to spread fear and intimidation.”
Along with Trump fatigue syndrome. Their plan was to consume the news with Trump, creating daily chaos. They didn’t care about truth, the greater the lie the better. I am sure we can all relate to hearing from others, “I like Trump, but don’t think this country can stand another four years of this”.
I don't think so... Maralago has a SCIF and is designed now to function as a 'White House'. From Wikipedia:
Mar-a-Lago has a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) for communications with the White House Situation Room and Pentagon.[37] The Mar-a-Lago Crowd, an informal group organized by President Trump which oversaw many of the activities of the Department of Veterans Affairs during the Trump administration, frequently met at the club.[38]
Hannity has seen the light. He now says 98% of fbi agents are good guys. /s
Why wouldn’t they wait till they get the boxes and then plant it. Why plant it on site and then take the boxes..
“These Rats have 2.5 years left to pull this crap. Think about it.”
Thinking about it.........
I think, if we give them another 2.5 years, this country will be a giant economy sized Venezuela.
These Rats have 2.5 years left to pull this crap. Think about it.
These rats pulled “this crap” for 4 years while Trump sat in the White House. Think about that.
“The only thing one can think is that they didn’t want the camera to catch something that they were doing.”
Maybe like pleasuring themselves in Melania’s dainties? They definitely wouldn’t want THAT captured on camera.
There may be a random FBI guy here or there, but the whole organization is completely corrupt and needs to be dismantled, brick by brick. The Justice Department and the FBI. They are a stain on this country.
So he officially moves his residence to Bedminster. A better setup for putting the FL gov on his ticket.
But I have zero doubt that the FBI was doing badly criminal things with the cameras off and the lawyers out.
Why is any of this accepted in any circumstances?
I fear you’re right
