Not wanting to put too much credibility behind any Newsweek report; however, the claims within the article mirror what we have suspected all along.
Essentially, the nub of the article states the DOJ claim to “retrieve federal documents” was a cover story so the FBI could retrieve evidence Trump took from DC showing his Russiagate targeting. This is called “throwing a bag over it.”
Newsweek – The FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago last Monday was specifically intended to recover Donald Trump’s personal “stash” of hidden documents, two high-level U.S. intelligence officials tell Newsweek.
To justify the unprecedented raid on a former president’s residence and protect the source who revealed the existence of Trump’s private hoard, agents went into Trump’s residence on the pretext that they were seeking all government documents, says one official who has been involved in the investigation. But the true target was this private stash, which Justice Department officials feared Donald Trump might weaponize.
“They collected everything that rightfully belonged to the U.S. government but the true target was these documents that Trump had been collecting since early in his administration,” says the source, who was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive issues.
The sought-after documents deal with a variety of intelligence matters of interest to the former president, the officials suggest—including material that Trump apparently thought would exonerate him of any claims of Russian collusion in 2016 or any other election-related charges. (read more)

In a lengthy four-part series, what is described in the Newsweek article essentially tracks with our own review.
In Part One we outlined the background of the modern Deep State

Take out the leftist slant intended to make President Trump look like he did something wrong, and the Newsweek article sounds mostly accurate.

I’ll be gobsmacked...Newsweek published this? Do I see pigs flying?
Hoping/guessing he has copies. Or the originals were off-site.
Ping!........................
He would never have suspected they would actually invade his sanctum sanctorum.....................
Welcome to Kenya.
This is all bullshit crap made up by whoever. face the truth here Richard Millhouse Biden told Merrick garland we’re going to indict Trump to get rid of him. Trump runs the table in Arizona and 5 days later he has his house ransacked by gestapo agents. This is Watergate all over again getting rid of our political enemies. It’s nice to have 14 FBI agents have come forward on various subjects to spilled our guts.
And here I was just about to toss that aspect!
Wow!
Newsweek? Doing actual journalism? Is this a trick?
Are they using NorDUH O’Donnell’s sources?
Even more fake news from fake news media?
Yup.
There was NO Russian collusion. President Trump has NEVER been to Russia. Period.
You can’t collect “evidence” on something that never happened.
Newsweek has recently hired Darren Beaty of Revolver News to do commentary in the paper what the hell are they up to as of late!!
You hit upon the flaw in this theory. Currently Trump is involved in a lawsuit against the DOJ/FBI, over this issue. Certainly his lawyers have copies of the same documents.
They are trying to seize info that implicates DOJ/FBI to suppress. I have no doubt
Bruce Reinhardt, who issued the warrant is also involved in the civil case!
Hillary was just wanting to see what evidence Trump would present in Trump v. Clinton. Reinhart recused himself from that case, but not before he saw the documents in the case. He probably is the “AFFIANT” for the warrant as well as the signatory. He wants to help Hillary win it.
Last week they said he had nuclear secrets. Which is it? It is getting harder and harder to keep up with their lies.
Either someone decent bought them out or they are trying to survive. The worst thing that has happened to this country is the media becoming lapdogs of the democrat party and abandoning their purpose. They are now hated.
Was thinking the same thing....if Newsweek is publishing, and it’s verifiable, then whoa neily! We’ve got real problems.
