FBI Raid On Mar-A-Lago Ensnared More Than Just Former President: Report
The Daily Wire ^ | • Aug 10, 2022 | By Ryan Saavedra

Posted on 08/10/2022 6:16:53 AM PDT by Red Badger

Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) rooted through the personal belongings of former first lady Melania Trump as they executed a search warrant believed to be connected to classified material that former President Donald Trump was supposed to return to the National Archives earlier this year.

The New York Post reported Tuesday afternoon that the agents “scoured Melania Trump’s wardrobe” in the Versailles Master Bedroom at the Mar-a-Lago residence.

Lawyers for the Department of Justice present during the raid reportedly informed Trump’s representatives that the search warrant gave them “full access to everything” on site.

Reports have claimed that Trump’s lawyers were not allowed to observe agents searching the property, although this has not yet been confirmed.

Federal agents executed the search warrant because they reportedly believed that Trump had not turned over 15 boxes of material, which included documents marked as “top secret,” until there was a serious risk of legal action being taken.

Federal agents removed more than 10 boxes of material, which is being sorted at a local FBI field office, from the property during the raid.

Agents were reportedly at the property the entire day and were dressed in plain clothes, leading staff to believe that they were U.S. Secret Service agents, which is why news of the executed search warrant did not leak.

Trump’s Secret Service agents were notified about the raid only moments before it occurred. Trump had lawyers present during the raid while he was at his residence in New York City.

Federal prosecutors opened a grand jury investigation back in May into Trump over whether classified material that ended up at his home in Mar-a-Lago was mishandled.

The main purpose of these types of investigations is usually for federal authorities to determine if any classified material was compromised so that intelligence officials can take steps to protect sensitive sources and methods. Prosecutors are seeking to learn every aspect of how the documents were handled from the time the documents left the White House until they were returned to the National Archives.

For prosecutors to be able to prove that a crime was committed, they would need evidence showing that the parties involved in removing the documents from the White House knew that the documents were classified and knew that removing them would violate the law.

“These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” Trump said in a statement. “After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.”

“They even broke into my safe!” Trump said. “It is political targeting at the highest level!”

When did Hitler gain control?

When the ONE last man that could stop him got tired. We all need to pray that Trump does not give up.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) rooted through the personal belongings of former first lady Melania Trump

After those FBI vermin pawed thru her clothes, at a minimum the clothes all need to be dry cleaned if not burned.

If I were Melania Trump, I'd tell MSM that I'm going to burn EVERY piece of underwear and lingerie I own because I "didn't want the thought of some FBI pervert goon's nose stuck in my underwear to be prevalent, that it would feel like rape."

Sure, the FBI doesn’t want Trump to run. They are trying to intimidate him. But that wasn’t the raid was about.

I think it’s about declassified documents. Yes, they were declassified by Trump. Spygate information that really paints a picture of FBI, CIA, DOJ, IRS and DNC collusion. That’s what they are trying to prevent from public release.

Did anybody ask in the media why the law firm for the DNC and Barrack Obama had an FBI terminal (with NSA access) in their office where they did illegal political searches of their opponents? Didn’t see the authors of the Watergate even give that the time of day....even mention what that meant! Trump would have had that information declassified, and the FBI, DOJ, DNC, and the rest of Government doesn’t want you to see it.

Oh.....Don’t worry, that FOIA by Judicial watch on the Spygate documents....they will process that any day now.

Panty sniffers. Probably pedophiles too. ALL FBI employees are scum. Those so-called good agents are complicit in their silence and inaction. They break their oath to the US Constitution every day by being cowards and not exposing the enemy within. They lack all credibility and the only way to restore confidence in government is the shuttering of the FBI and dismantling of the DOJ.

That’s a good point. They are both strong people and their families are strong. But the Left is willing to bring the full power of the state down on them.

The Trump family is our fire break — for the moment. If the Deep State gets to them we are next.

When did Hitler gain control?

Paul von Hindenburg was old (89), feeble and possibly had dementia, became President of Germany from 1925 until his death in 1934. During his presidency, he played a key role in the Nazi seizure of power in January 1933 when, under pressure from advisers, he appointed Adolf Hitler as Chancellor of Germany.

Sound familiar?........................

The unmaskings are likely still going on IMO. Its not hard to find pliable FISA judges. The Deep State will stop at nothing to get Trump. They see him as an existential threat.
