“Critical Factual Error” by FBI Raid Affiant Could Blow Up the DOJ’s Case Against Trump
America First Report ^ | 27 August 2022 | JD Rucker

Posted on 08/27/2022 9:38:22 PM PDT by Fractal Trader

The sworn affidavit presented to secure the search warrant for Mar-a-Lago used by the FBI to raid Donald Trump’s home had what appears to be a crucial error in it, one that could be easily debunked. If the facts detailed by independent journalist Paul Sperry are accurate, this could be enough to obliterate the Department of Justice’s case against Trump.

In a post on Gettr, Sperry said:

BREAKING: The FBI affiant who swore to the Mar-a-Lago search warrant appears to have made a critical factual error by stating in the unsealed affidavit: “I do not believe that any spaces within the PREMISES have been authorized for the storage of classified information.” This finding, which is the linchpin of the criminal case vs. Trump, overlooks the fact that:

1) White House records confirm that a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) authorizing the briefing and storage of classified material up to the TS/SCI level had in fact been installed at Mar-a-Lago; and,

2) records show that the Secret Service had recently awarded a nearly $600,000 contract to upgrade physical security within the premises at Mar-a-Lago for Trump’s post-presidency transition

Sperry later posted:

DEVELOPING: The unsealed FBI affidavit contains several oddities:

1. No where does it flat-out say “classified information” was found in Trump’s 15 boxes. On page 2, it refers only to docs “with classification markings,” which raises the specter they were no longer classified

2. It states the docs “appear” to contain National Defense Information. But agents “triaged” the boxes; they would know if they contain NDI or not

3. The affiant claimed “there is probable cause to believe evidence of obstruction will be found at the premises,” yet there’s no “obstruction” header or section spelling out why he believes this

4. He said he doesn’t believe “any spaces” w/in Mar-a-Lago are “currently” authorized for storage of classified info. So they were, but not “currently”?

This analysis appears to be accurate according to a former federal magistrate (name withheld by request) who reviewed both the redacted affidavit and Sperry’s claims.

It’s odd that the FBI would include such an easily debunked claim about appropriately secure storage areas on the premises on their affidavit. It should not have been necessary for their case if we are to believe they are trying to indict Trump for taking classified documents. By including it, they run the risk of tainting the predicate for the search warrant which could make evidence they collected during the raid inadmissible.

Everything about the raid and the case being built by the Department of Justice reeks of sloppiness and desperation. Are we seeing a Deep State plot blowing up or are we missing a deeper, darker agenda?

Right. A SCIF is set up in every ex-President’s home, Library, etc., complete with staff, according to Constitutional attorneys who have spoken out. Mar-A-Lago has a SCIF.

Mar-a-Lago was Trump's winter White House when he went on vacation as President. A SCIF was set up while he was President. The affidavit states at paragraph 77, "I do not believe that any spaces within the PREMISES have been authorized for the storage of classified information at least since the end of FPOTUS's Presidential Administration on January 20, 2021."

The inference is that a SCIF and authorization for the storage of classified information existed up until the end of the administration. And then the space authorized to hold everything and anything was no longer authorized to hold those materials.

In paragraph 61, the affidavit indicates, "classified documents [redacted] were removed from the secure facilities at the White House and moved to Mar-a-Lago on or around January 20, 2021." A time before noon, January 20, 2021 would mean Mar-a-Lago DID have an authorized storage area at that time.

Unclear is who decided the SCIF was no longer authorized, or when such a decision was made. "I do not believe" is not a clear assertion of fact.

Unfortunate if true.

Now you gonna stalk Him Too?

Capitalizing "Him" is usually reserved for God.

Again... words on a screen.

If legit, this Q post isn't information.
Just a bunch of leading questions that invite interpretation.

And who exactly is stalking who here exactly?
I got other stuff going on and figured to give you a break.

Wondered what amazingly retarded reasons you could come up with as an explanation.

Go take some more pictures of the sky, sonny.

You are right. I wanted emphasis. I should have italicized it instead,

but I was in a hurry to get the word out. 🐸🤪

Since things ARE looking increasingly Biblical.

I'm still in the same thread found me in, still responding to YOUR insults and
stalking. I know you are not used to that, but why not? The Mods have had no
objection to your stalking. Am I keeping you from it?

Perhaps I should consider returning your attentions in kind.

But while you are still here, do you also think that it is unfortunate that our
President said THIS?p>

You do what you think is best.

do you also think that it is unfortunate that our President said THIS?

If there actually were a bunch of peddyfiles and
cannybals then someone should surely be saving us from them.

You betcha.

Are these peddyfils and cannybals a big problem where you live?
You got to watch out for 'em every day?
They try to get into the house at night?

Maybe they're outside right now? Better go look!
