Jesse Watters: This is why the DOJ didn't want to release the Mar-a-Lago affidavit
Fox News ^ | August 26, 2022 8:10pm EDT | Fox News Staff

Fox News host Jesse Watters reflected on the redacted affidavit over the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

[cut]

Well, according to the affidavit, there appears to be two major concerns: where the documents were stored and how they were stored. The affidavit states: "I believe that the storage room and other spaces within the premises are not currently authorized locations for the storage of classified information or NDI." NDI is national defense information. So let me get this straight: Trump has some Trump administration documents locked up in the storage room of a basement of a private club guarded by Secret Service agents? That's the reason for the raid? These are 10 times more secure than Hillary Clinton's materials left on a server in Chappaqua, begging for our enemies to penetrate, but they also didn't like how the documents were stored.

Are you ready for this? It says of most significant concern was that highly classified records were un-foldered, intermixed with other records and otherwise unproperly identified. Wait a minute, you're telling me Trump's biggest crime is his filing system, that he mixed newspaper clippings with a love letter from Little Rocket Man? Call Staples right away. We need a paralegal in here immediately to organize these files. This is why the Justice Department didn't want to release the affidavit. It's embarrassing.

What ever happened to the nuclear secrets he was selling to the Saudis? Now, this is about a file cabinet? What's in the file cabinet again? Don't know. They won't tell us because it's classified. They'll just leak it.

Damn good point. But I thought Trump had them locked in a SAFE.

The crime here is putting declassified documents with never classified documents.

LOL!

Trump put newspaper in the glass recycling bin!

That judge has it in for Trump. She won’t care about her past rulings.

Not entirely. I assumed it was a signal to their political opponents of “show me the man, I’ll show you the crime”. Maybe even the citizenry. It’s meant to intimidate, just like the Summer 2020 riots, but even moreso the attack ON A FEDERAL courthouse, with only one indictment to date. Commies being commies.

.
This case has unusual precedents. Comey is on record explaining why Hillary and Huma Abedin should not be charged IN PAINSTAKING DETAIL.

In fact, Comey said, in both cases, Criminal Intent was necessary to be charged.

Comey, for Huma too, goes down the list of violations - and then says there was no Criminal Intent there, so there wouldn’t be any charges.

Cases usually have Judicial Rulings as precedents, but this case is highly unusual because the charging decisions and the basis behind those non-charges have been delineated under oath to Congress. And the Law hasn’t changed.

I think they just wanted in there, and they also got FISA Surveillance approved like the old days.

“Not for them a judge or jury,
Not for them a crime at all,
Being Irish means they’re guilty,
So they’re guilty, one and all.
Round the world,
The truth will echo,
Cromwell’s men are here again!
England’s name again is sullied,
In the name of honest men.

I want photos, pictures, video, You Tube and one selfie with him not grinning like some pedophile caught in a girls’ bathroom.

America is disintegrating (being torn apart by the Deep State actually), but no one is laughing.

Comey was wrong, by the way. The statute does not require intent.

About half the country is because they think the DS is on their side.

Does anyone remember how Hillary kept computer, server in a bathroom closet in an apartment at some IT firm that had no security?

The apartment held the offices of Platte River Networks, the Denver, Colorado IT firm that maintained Clinton’s servers. Per accounts of former employees which were confirmed by the company’s co-founder, the servers containing State Department secrets were stored in the bathroom.

No. Watters is wrong. The entire thing is about the FISA docs Trump had that implicated the FBI. They were afraid of what he had against them, per Paul Sperry’s report today.

Your right now the greater danger is how are the courts going to handle it.

The democrats don’t only rig election.

A judge signed off to raid a presidents home first time in American history.
