Questions grow about Trump raid after revelation of grand jury subpoena, extensive cooperation
Just the News ^ | August 11, 2022 - 1:29am | John Solomon

Two months before his Florida home was raided by the FBI, former President Donald Trump secretly received a grand jury subpoena for classified documents belonging to the National Archives, and voluntarily cooperated by turning over responsive evidence, surrendering security surveillance footage and allowing federal agents and a senior Justice Department lawyer to tour his private storage locker, according to a half dozen people familiar with the incident.

While the cooperation was mostly arranged by his lawyers, Trump personally surprised the DOJ National Security Division prosecutor and three FBI agents who came to his Mar-a-Lago compound on June 3, greeting them as they came to pick up a small number of documents compliant with the subpoena, the sources told Just the News, speaking only on condition of anonymity because the visit was covered by grand jury secrecy.

The subpoena requested any remaining documents Trump possessed with any classification markings, even if they involved photos of foreign leaders, correspondence or mementos from his presidency.

Secret Service agents were also present and facilitated the visit, officials said.

Trump signaled his full cooperation, telling the agents and prosecutor, "Look, whatever you need let us know," according to two eyewitnesses. The federal team was surprised by the president's invitation and asked for an immediate favor: to see the 6-foot-by-10-foot storage locker where his clothes, shoes, documents and mementos from his presidency were stored at the compound.

Trump should send gift baskets to the FBI for giving him a second term.

I’m starting to get a sense that Trump himself helped orchestrate this whole charade. LOL.

A compound eh? Isn’t that what the called the Branch Davidian complex, before the tanks went in, and burned them out?

It all makes sense when you recognize that Dems and the Deep State view Trump and his supporters as subhuman scum.

Humans don’t consider using due process on subhuman scum. And the masochists among them enjoy subjecting the subhuman scum to insults and abuse.

Kind of reminiscent of the worst moments in history.

I am sure that their computer models and simulations are largely guided by the Waco experiment.

I still think the whole thing was a set up to plant something. I’m guessing a day or two they will magically produce the “smoking gun” a document where Trump admits to everything from “Russian Collusion”, to tax evasion, to the January 6 “insurrection”. Of course the document will be suspiciously typed instead of being hand written and the signature line will have been ripped off.

The FBI spent 9 hours doing this, kicked the people and lawyers out, turned off the cameras because they were bugging Trump’s home AGAIN.

You must not have seen pictures of the estate. Usually, when there are multiple buildings on a property its called a compound or estate or campus. This place is so big it could be called any of those. Enviable property with many out buildings.

Do you recall Ilia Gonzalez?

The idiots referred to their tiny little house as a compound.

They can’t help themselves.

Perhaps the reason that the fbi had 40 agents with ‘assault weapons’ drawn was because they had seriously hoped to provoke a Branch Davidian/Ruby Ridge response. It would have made things much easier for them. It does appear that the veil has been stripped and we are seeing the ugliness that Obama perpetrated on this country through the institutions.

And Melania should box up her clothes and send them to Dr. Jill, with a note:

Dear Doctor Jill,

Sending the FBI to raid my closet wasn’t necessary, all you had to do was ask. Please share with Kamala.

Regards, Melania

Yeah, listen to the DNCMedia... Colbert said the raid was like Christmas to him. Maddow said save your August 8 newspapers... Such joy for them!

BTW, masochist like a good beating (on themselves). You meant sadists, who like to beat others, or enjoy them suffering.

Funny you should say that. My husband suggested he plunked the FBI by disguising himself as the Mar-A-Lado inside mole that Newsday reported on.

Correct. I meant sadists, not masochists. Thanks for the correction.
