Breitbart gets scoop about Trump Mar-a-Lago search warrant, butchers the story
SFGate ^ | August 12, 2022 | Alec Regimbal

Posted on 08/12/2022 11:42:49 PM PDT by willk

On Friday, Breitbart, the far-right news site, was neck-and-neck with the Wall Street Journal on a huge scoop when they released details about the search warrant that was issued for Mar-a-Lago — former President Donald Trump's Florida estate — earlier this week.

But Breitbart completely butchered their scoop.

Rather than focusing on the specific details of the warrant, or the itemized list of property that federal agents seized from Trump's home on suspicion of potentially serious crimes (the outlet obtained both documents and only later published them in full), author Matthew Boyle initially chose to write about when the warrant was issued. Specifically, Boyle reported that the warrant was signed by a federal judge three days before the FBI raided Trump's home. Why does that matter? It doesn't, really, unless you're Breitbart:

"Why the authorities waited several days to execute service of the warrant if the matter rose to such a serious national security issue is unclear," Boyle wrote. "If what federal agents intended to obtain from the raid was such a risk to national security, the fact they decided to linger and wait for several days before executing is likely to become a major point of contention as this debate plays out in front of the public."

This idiot calls Breitbart a far right news site. I wonder what they call themselves. They were really pushing back against the recall of D.A. Chesa Boudin

I wonder why SFGate thinks the story was “butchered”.

Authors write about what interests them. Boyle found the timing interesting. So do I.

Far left SFGate finds it interesting to gripe about conservative news sites. I do not.

And Facebook is deleting it saying it goes against community standards. So it must be accurate if fb is trying to hide it.

The timing only matters if want people to believe it was a serious issue.

This is just like Strzok and Comey.

IMO, they identified the Compromised Judge 4-5 months ago.

Why they pulled the trigger is Kent won. Despite daily attacks on Trump and virtually zero Republicans defending him, his endorsed candidates were winning and the next one was winning. Trump also won in 24 Polls.

That’s why they moved.

They really wanted to get in there and confiscate everything and use that to get him and block his his political plans. They did this with Trump’s attorney in NY, and they did a mass confiscation and read the Client-Lawyer comms.

They wanted all that and hiring / staffing plans out of MaraLago

As soon as they knew he was hiring Papadopolous and Carter Page, the same team set up Ops to get them.

They do this because they want to flip people - have the testify to what they want to hear.

My guess as to timing: it took some time to assemble the team. Also, as a courtesy to the former President, to allow him and his family to be away from the premises.

Of course, as Breitbart infers, if this really were a matter of urgency, the team would have been assembled at the same time the search warrant was being passed by a friendly judge; allowing the search to be conducted immediately.

The extremely FAR LEFT SFGate is calling the very moderate Breitbart, “far right”?
That's a laugh.

I agree with most of what you write, but want to add that as PDJT started to acquire a new power base he was becoming a mortal threat to the conspirators behind the Crossfire Hurricane operation.

The documents they wanted to confiscate were those tying DOJ/FBI etc to the illegal acitivites carried out against PDJT and many others during the last at least 5 years.

As for the judge there are some interesting coincidences in his timeline that I have posted previously:

1) On Mar 24, 2022 Trump filed a RICO lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, DNC where many many of the players we’ve heard of over last 6 years were namned.
2) April 6, the original judge recused himself and was replaced by Judge Reinhart.
3a) On June 22 DOJ/FBI reviewed the documents at Mar-A-Lago
3b) On June 22 Judge Reinhart recused himself
4) On August 4 Trump submitted a motion to deny the request to dismiss the case.
5) On August 5 magistrate Reinhart signed the order for the FBI raid.
6) The raid took place the August 8.

Courtesy? I doubt that. When have they ever been courteous to President Trump? They have been trying to destroy him since he started his run in 2016.

Of course it was not courtesy. Think more “as thieves in the night”.

Thanks.
