Trump Attorneys Spill the Beans on Issues With FBI Raid, Warrant
Red State ^ | Aug 09, 2022 | Nick Arama

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.

During the Trump administration, Sean Hannity used to go on about 99% of FBI being great guys. I’ll bet he has dropped that bs line.

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?
............................these things alone give an unacceptable appearance if not reality of possible wrongdoing..fbi fails ethics again.

Denied legal representation during the “warrant serving” and subsequent “evidence” gathering sounds mighty suspicious. Well a few years ago it would have been. Now it appears it’s SOP. Good thing they would never plant or make up evidence huh. You know being all trustworthy.

FBI wanted to have the cameras off so they could plant bugs and “evidence”.

The fbi was once highly respected. No more. The fbi is a corrupt organization, used as a private police force by the democrat party against Republicans and other normal people, such as mothers who object to their kids being told they’re racist.

Sorry friend - we will never get there. Deep State will make sure of that, with election-stealing tactics doubling what they did last time. AND Trump will be both indicted and convicted by then, and likely imprisoned. There is no one to stop them. No one. But God..........

Did YOUR God tell you to cower and suck your thumb too?

Did they say “We’re from the government and we’re here to help.”

Excellent point. Not to mention who was involved in the COVID coverup.

>>First thing I thought of was FBI planting papers.<<
Right? Hell, the last six years the Ferrules have been fabricating and perpetuating lies. The FBI went before FISA courts with false information to acquire surveillance warrants against Trump and associates.

So it is absolutely NO stretch at all the FBI would plant evidence needed to bring down Trump.

The coup continues.

I am guessing that Trump has set the dumb bastards up….bet there are more than one set of document copies hidden, that are exact duplicates under seal. When they add the fraudulent evidence the sealed copies will be used to demonstrate what was in the boxes.

The “Don” has been playing a high level game with these lying bastards since he declared he was running. Can’t wait for this trap to be sprung! God bless Donald Trump and his family.

"And you don’t think the oligarchs are lusting for that as their excuse to declare ..."

Sure, but yet another rigged election would mean elections no longer matter (for realz this time), and a citizenry's only recourse at that point would be....

I'm much too old, but I could see how the young'uns could boil over.

Things are not falling apart, they are falling into place for the removal of the Body of Christ believers and the revealing of antichrist. There is a sort of expiration date for the conditions listed in the Bible for the tribulation period. If the Tribulation does not happen soon, technology will get beyond what was prophesied. The ‘scientists’ are already experimenting with nano-tech that will enable dna changes via aerosolized mRNA, etc.

I believe they probably planted something as well. But I can just hear it now....we will be labeled “deniers” as we are with our belief that the election was tampered with. I HATE THEM!!
