Former Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney: Someone ‘Very Close’ to Trump Tipped Off FBI
PJ Media ^ | Matt Margolis

Posted on 08/12/2022 7:42:16 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Trump’s one-time chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says that only a small number of people who were “very close” to Donald Trump could have tipped off the FBI, resulting in the raid that occurred earlier this week.

“This would be someone who was handling things day-to-day, who knew where documents were, so it would be somebody very close…” Mulvaney told CNN. “My guess is there’s probably six or eight people who had that kind of information.”

According to Mulvaney, whoever spoke to the feds was close enough to Trump that he or she not only knew about the existence of a safe at Mar-a-Lago but its location.

”​I didn’t even know there was a safe at Mar-a-Lago, and I was the chief of staff for 15 months,” he said.​ ”I don’t know the people on the inside circle these days, so I can’t give any names of folks who come to mind, but … if you know where the safe is and you know the documents are in 10 boxes in the basement, you’re pretty close to the president​.”

It has been widely reported that the FBI was searching for “classified” documents being stored on the property; however, former Trump aide Kash Patel says the documents in question had long been declassified.

Serious questions have been raised about the appropriateness of the raid and whether the Biden administration abused its power. Not only did the FBI raid the home of a former president, but the DOJ also sought approval from an anti-Trump magistrate judge.

Fueling speculation that the administration knew it was doing something inappropriate is the fact that the White House distanced itself from the raid, claiming that no one, including staffers or Joe Biden, knew about it.

It should be noted that Mick Mulvaney doesn’t know s**t.

LOL - as in the guy who wrote a kid's book about Trump as king? Hopefully he's not the authority on the matter.

DJT has 70 million Americans who would take a bullet for him, but he keeps hiring people who are eager to stab him in the back.

​”I didn’t even know there was a safe at Mar-a-Lago”

**************

Think about the stupidity of that statement.

The only surprise would be if there WASN’T a safe there.

He is a political hack. And probably a leaker himself. That is why Trump had to get rid of him.

Obviously Trump hid stuff in Melania’s underwear (and probably in a Milk Carton in the fridge.

Mulvaney was one of many Bush League moles inside the Trump White House sabotaging his term from the inside.

BS story

Did the Press ask about the Raid Biden ordered to get his daughter’s diary of her problems stemming from inappropriate showers with Joe Pedo?

I do not believe any mole exists. It is a made up excuse for the raid.

More BS. “Could have”. More speculation without any facts. This was the MO of the Russia hoaxers. Two senior DOJ officials tell Newsweek that Garland was not involved in the raid. Now there are supposed to be nuclear secrets in the Trump papers.

Why are we speculating about the mole in the Trump team? Who started this nonsense?
