The Washington Post Quietly Drops ‘Bombshell’ About FBI’s Trump Mar-A-Lago Raid Days After Midterm Election

It was a Nuclear Hoax. The Biden administration’s unprecedented raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence is shaping up to be one of the most egregious abuses of power that has ever been committed by a sitting president.

It is now nearly indisputable that it was a politically motivated raid over a paperwork dispute tantamount not only to blatant election interference into the 2022 midterms, but also a pre-emptive salvo on Biden’s presumptive presidential rival in the 2024 election.

The FBI’s raid at the behest of the National Archives and Records Administration has not yielded the “nuclear secrets” that the Washington Post reported in August were in Trump’s possession. Instead, days after a highly contested election where Democrats relied in part on the unsubstantiated reports to keep Trump’s name in the news, and thus to turn out its party base, the Washington Post has effectively made a guilty confession: There is “no there, there.”

The Post is now reporting that a “review by agents and prosecutors found no discernible business interest in the Mar-a-Lago documents, people familiar with the matter said.”

“As part of the investigation, federal authorities reviewed the classified documents that were recovered from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and private club, looking to see if the types of information contained in them pointed to any kind of pattern or similarities, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation,” the Post reported.

“That review has not found any apparent business advantage to the types of classified information in Trump’s possession, these people said,” the report continued. “FBI interviews with witnesses so far, they said, also do not point to any nefarious effort by Trump to leverage, sell or use the government secrets. Instead,

So…the “nuclear secrets Trump stole from the White House to give to Putin” BS is officially falling apart, the Jan 6 committee is about to dissolve without laying a finger on Trump, and the tax thing in New York is failing to lay a finger on Trump. The cretins have used all their ammo, yet Trump is not only still standing, he’s coming after them again.

At this rate I would not be surprised if they dig up the “dossier” again and try to flog some life into it one final time. Because they got nothing else.

Inflicting anguish and despair on the deserving is better than any drug. It must be why Trump smiles so much.

We can all rest assured that it was just an innocent mistake on the part of both the government and the Post...

No one could possibly believe that a man of the highest moral and cultural character as the brilliant President of the United States Josef Biden would stoop to gutter politics...

He will definitely deserve those 135 million votes that will propel him into a second halcyon term in 2024...

Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

Good. Now maybe they will have time to look into insider trading by Nanzi Pelousy and other members of Con-gress.

Need names and faces, doxx them all, follow their movements, get their backgrounds and networks.

We need to have the edge on Intel rather than be sitting ducks.

The WH and Deep State harassed Trump without cause. So what?

The Deep State will never be brought to justice because it IS law enforcement.

That's why the FBI is so dangerous. It is like a corrupt sheriff who never faces an election and cannot be removed.

Unless proven otherwise, I’m going to assume the rumors are true and the so-called “classified documents” in question are nothing more than the personal correspondence between President Trump and various world leaders and that Trump kept them as souvenirs, a practice common among every other former president.

Who trusts the FBI? They are political and partisan.

For anyone interested in a striking “spin” contrast, find and read the WaPo article. It is a blatant apologetic to justify the raid and ignore what actually motivated it. The headline is something like, “Investigators believe Trump’s ego motivated his taking of the documents”.

On the other hand, the agents got to run their hands through a supermodel's panty drawer.
I bet some of them would do it all over again!

As I recall, President Nixon was forced to resign for something far less egregious.

Not just partisan. They stepped way over the line into being corrupt and unlawful. They are domestic terrorists and they are sinister.

It was a fishing expedition. Look for tidbits to be leaked going forward about his finances and personal life gathered from the documents the FIB took.

Yes. You are correct, of course. And the FBI knows it can fish with impunity...except for the continued eroding of its already tainted reputation.
