Attorney General Merrick Garland revealed Thursday that he “personally approved” requesting the search warrant that triggered Monday’s unprecedented raid on the Florida home of former President Donald Trump and revealed the Justice Department had asked a federal magistrate judge to unseal copies of the warrant — if Trump and his legal team do not object.
“The Department filed the motion to make public the warrant and receipt in light of the former president’s public confirmation with the search, the surrounding circumstances, and the substantial public interest in this matter,” Garland told reporters.
“Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy, upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly without fear or favor. under my watch, that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing,” he continued.
Garland, who spoke for four minutes and took no questions, confirmed that copies of the search warrant and FBI property receipt were given to Trump’s attorneys on Monday and added that they were “on site during the search.”
The Attorney General also addressed the recent “unfounded attacks” towards the FBI and Department of Justice in the aftermath of the search, saying he “will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked.”
“The men and women of the FBI and the Justice Department are dedicated, patriotic public servants. Every day they protect the American people from violent crime, terrorism and other threats to their safety while safeguarding our civil rights. They do so at great personal sacrifice and risk to themselves. I am honored to work alongside them.”

Choke on it Gargoyle.
Mr Trump and his counsel have copies of both the warrant and inventory. This was confirmed last night by Ms. Robb on Fox. He is free to release it at any time. The DOJ was not, so they had to go to court to request unsealing.
The Ball is now in Trump’s Court. He and his attorneys will have to file a pleading to the DOJ’s request to unseal.
What will he do?
- allow the unsealing
or
-fight the unsealing in court.
If I called the FBI I would tell that person that if they have an ounce of respect for the rule of law, they ahould resign immediately, since they are employed by a criminal organization.
Is (or was) it me or did Garland look very nervous? He looked like a cornered rat.
Just another American Communist.
Exactly.
The FBI is not going to hand out anything. Even if there is an indictment, the FBI isn’t going to say anything.
So...this is ALL on Trump. He isn’t going to release anything that is going to give his opponents ANYTHING.
If you are frustrated over this stuff—get used to it. Its not going to stop for months.
Why 30+ FBI agents for 9+hours?, that’s more than 270 man-hours to find ‘narrowly scoped’ objects. This reeks of FBI fraud. And we know already that when it comes to fraud, individual FBI agents and the DOJ are very comfortable with fraud.
Exactly.
Trump’s lawyer who rushed to Mar-a-Lago asked to see the warrant and was told no.
She persisted and was finally allowed to see ‘part’ of it.
“Every day they protect the American people from violent crime, terrorism and other threats to their safety”
Uh Huh. Like the terrorism and threats to their safety you are committing you sordid puke?
Now he’s giving us all this process gobbledygook.
He always looks like that.
The White house, Joe Biden via his press sectretary, the DOJ, and Garland said yesterday they didn’t know anything about it.
It's too much akin to what Nikolai I. Yezhov and Lavrentiy P Beria would do between 1934 and 1953. 😒😑🙄
At this point, what juror would believe testimony from an FBI agent?
Monster tell people he’s worried about the “unfounded attacks” on the FBI. Well we don’t have to wait for the GOP to do her work for us. Just keep pounding the shit out of the FBI. Isn’t it really bizarre that two of the most recognizable Jewish guys in the whole world today George Soros and Merrick Garland are Nazis! My meager Jewish DNA vomits over the both of them.
I'm leaning towards this raid being technically legal, but an overreach and political motivated - making a mountain out of something that usually is ignored as a molehill.
The conservative bloggers are as bad as any others for false reporting or jumping the gun with wild conjectures based on flimsy evidence. Mostly clickbait generators. The worst thing is that these inaccuracies spread faster than actual accurate reporting.
Because the Obama/Biden administration using the IRS to block Tea Party 501(c)(3) organization's tax exempt applications, and turning the data over to liberal special interest groups to stop the Tea Party from organizing in 2010 wasn't enough?
