WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland confirmed on Thursday that federal agents had searched former President Donald Trump's Florida estate to probe whether he illegally removed records from the White House as he was leaving office.

Garland said he had personally approved the decision to search Trump's home.

He said the Justice Department had asked a court to unseal a search warrant filed as part of the investigation due to "substantial public interest."

“Garland said he had personally approved the decision to search Trump’s home.”

But didn’t he also say he didn’t know why it was searched.

Does anyone thing this little partisan creep has been able to defend the honor of the valiant and woke FBI?

“to probe”. Better have ironclad probable cause beyond a fishing expedition. And I’m sure your bosses aren’t too happy with the new precedent that you established, Garland.

If Garland personally approved the raid, did he check with the President?

Garland is a political WHORE hoping one of OUR JUSTICES leaves The Court so he can get his “REWARD”!

30+ minutes late to a press conference, took no questions and announced he personally did it.

If he actually did, why not say it the day of? Why wait 3 days and then make a media circus out of it and then take NO questions?

If he’s telling the truth - then Biden is lying when he said he had no knowledge of it. Because there’s NO way Garland wouldn’t have kept him informed of a political move this dangerous and unprecedented.

Nope - My take is Garland is lying here and the reason this appearance is so weak and he’s nervous is because he KNOWS he’s being forced to admit a major crime that makes watergate look like a petty crime and he’s now culpable.

And so… it begins. They won’t stop with the lies now and they WILL indict Trump. The Republic is under direct attack.

I’m curious to learn who the snitch is. Who they are? How did they approach the DOJ/FBI? How did they know what they told both?

That’s going to be real interesting. I’m betting that the numbers of folks who could/would have intimate knowledge of anything about what was in the residence, office or SCIF is rather limited.

It’s going to be a hoot if the President can show, without a doubt, that there is ZERO way for the snitch to have known what he/she was alleging they know.

“I was in the locked safe, in the SCIF on this date and I saw it all”

“Well, here is surveillance video of the entire office, SCIF and safe. Not only were you not in the safe, SCIF, or office, you were never allowed in without being under escort at any time, when you were you only stayed for a moment and on the day in question, you weren’t even in the building. Anywho.”

Sadly, the superior law enforcement agency on the planet has shown themselves to be quite corrupt and incompetent over the years. And even worse, it has a pretty decent history of such and yet, no changes nor modifications have been implemented to fix it. Guess for reasons that have been demonstrated over the last 15 years or so.

And that they had sealed search warrant? And for that they kept Trump’s lawyers out? And for that they needed armed guards and 30 FBI agents? And for that they were instructed to shut off the surveillance video system? And for that it took over 10 hours?

Yeah, right…..

And the media is pushing that they were “classified documents.” Well, as President, Trump was the ultimate classifer/unclassifier in government. He could declasify material with the snap of his fingers. All he would have to do is say he declasssified anything. Poof… declassified.

They tried to impeach trump TWICE over “nothing”

It doesn’t matter - they only need to get one jury in DC to return an indictment then try the case in DC with a bunch of DNC jurors…

We’re in full on lawfare here.

I wouldnt unseal it if I were the judges.

I would issue a statement that they went to a federal judge who refused to issue that warrant..if true, and then state that it was obtained through a magistrate who was involved in nefarious dealings with certain sordid convicted felons in the past.

Let them all stew,

Just like Biden, Garland is a figure head. He was probably being honest when he said he didn’t know. Someone else behind the scenes is running our government and making these decisions.

Dems want to indict Trump before the midterms but the blow back on Fay Wray’s panty raid has put that in jeopardy. They’ve gone a bridge to far and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch.

Time for Trump to hire Xe Services and move all Federal Agents outside his home.
