Former President Donald Trump on Monday claimed that the FBI “stole” his “passports” in last week’s raid on his private residence at Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
“In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else,” he said via Truth Social. “This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country. Third World!”
The passports were not independently itemized on the FBI’s property receipt of the 28 inventory items federal agents seized.
The warrant, which Attorney General Merrick Garland says he approved and was signed by Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, did not state that they could take Trump’s passport. Typically, the government needs a separate court order to seize someone’s passport, even temporarily.
Trump also stated that the FBI’s raid on his residence could cause Republicans to retake both the House and the Senate. Republicans are considered likely to reclaim the House, while analysis say the Senate is a tossup.
“Republicans could win many additional seats, both in the House & Senate, because of the strong backlash over the raid at Mat-a-Lago. Polls are showing that some lost Republican territory over the last number of weeks has been more than made up with the unannounced Break In by the FBI, which should never have happened!,” Trump said on his platform.

Who you gonna call, when needing something stolen ?
Get a court order for return. 2 hour deadline. If not returned, then takethe offending agents to Solitary confinement at Leavenworth
Contempt of court
Garfinkel (actual name) really screwed up big on this. They had no authority to seize his passport.
The FBI/DoJ weasels are really up to their old tricks. I’ll bet they seized everything they could from before he announced in 2015 all the way to the present. Grab it all, rummage thru it in search of a crime. Garland and Wray should hang a plaque with SHOW ME THE MAN, AND I’LL SHOW YOU THE CRIME above their desks.
Another ominous overreach. Do they want us to assume Trump will be arrested soon? I don’t recognize this country’s national government anymore.
This was done because they thought he might flee...normally a Judge has to rule to force someone to surrender their passport but these FBI thugs just took them.
They will find something—and if they don’t they will make up something—a crime to toss at him to keep from running for office. This was done with some success with the Russia hoax. It tied Trump’s hands and tarnished him each day in the press. It is still active today. But, as they run the US into the toilet they are sounding hollow and shrill.
Took DT’s passport

Let me guess, they want to put a Russia “stamp” on the book to coincide with their dossier hoax.
If he really wanted to race away to a non-extradition country, which is absurd, couldn’t he have the same place that created Obama’s new birth certificate to replace the genuine African one from Kenya? After the first faulty one the second try looked good. And not believing that it was real was racist for an historic President.
After hearing this passport news I now think they are going to go through with the handcuffs and perp walk to excite the TV news media people to orgasms on the air.
Well presidential passports would be, “classified documents”. They likely just added them to the count in that leather bound box.
Said that he couldn't be without bias.
But, apparently, on this, there isn't a problem?
DEFUND “Justice” and the FIB
If the opposite happens, the Deep State will get the message that their tactics are working and will ramp them up.
U.S. GOVERNMENT PROPERTY This passport is property of the United States. (Title 22, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 51.9). It must be surrendered upon demand made by an authorized representative of the Unites States Government.The FBI may be playing hardball, but it is perfectly legal for them to confiscate passports if the warrant specifies that they be surrendered.
