Did the FBI get a bad rap in the wake of the raid on Mar-a-Lago? According to the Washington Post, the raid took place only after months of debate between the FBI and prosecutors from the Department of Justice. The FBI argued that a request for a full search of the property would have sufficed, according to two senior officials from the bureau.
The prosecutors wanted a raid, however, and the DoJ agreed:
"Prosecutors argued that new evidence suggested Trump was knowingly concealing secret documents at his Palm Beach, Fla., home and urged the FBI to conduct a surprise raid at the property. But two senior FBI officials who would be in charge of leading the search resisted the plan as too combative and proposed instead to seek Trump’s permission to search his property, according to the four people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a sensitive investigation.
Prosecutors ultimately prevailed in that dispute, one of several previously unreported clashes in a tense tug of war between two arms of the Justice Department over how aggressively to pursue a criminal investigation of a former president. The FBI conducted an unprecedented raid on Aug. 8, recovering more than 100 classified items, among them a document describing a foreign government’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities.
Starting in May, FBI agents in the Washington field office had sought to slow the probe, urging caution given its extraordinary sensitivity, the people said."

Josh Hawley said tonight on Hannity or Carlson that it was the White House’s decision to raid Mar-a-Lago. I’d blame Dementia Joe, but I doubt he is making any decisions, other than what ice cream flavor to buy.
Horse manure.
.
You’re absolutely correct!
If you read all the filings, FBi peeps from all over the country Volunteered to relocate to DC to be on the Get Trump Op, this one and previous ones.
Like Andrew Weismann, it was their dream Prosecution.
How dumb do they think the public is?
.

It was definitely Joe’s order to conduct Fed raids for his daughter’s diary and to get Rudy and Victoria Toensing’s devices in raids.
The FBi could expose it, but they are in agreement, and have been for a long time.
.
Well, we all know the answer to that and it's funny but ... not funny.
um, ‘cause nobody in the DOJ wants to go to prison?

Josh Hawley said on Hannity or Carlson that the White House made the decision to raid Trump’s Mar-a-Lago house.
Who’s filings?
Yeah - so what?
They "JUST FOLLOWED ORDERS".
Haven’t we heard that some time before.
DOJ and FBI, both RICO.
-fJRoberts-
They seemed enthusiastic about going through Melania’s underwear.
All those great rank and file forced to violate the constitution. I don’t buy it
I wonder. Trust in the FBI is near zero with public the and this sounds like the sort of weak story spin-doctors would concoct to restore a modicum of it.
Y’all are way ahead me in reaching the same conclusion!
OH FRICKIN PLEASE!!! The FBI is a criminal gang out to destroy and disappear anything standing in the way of their power. Every single one is a crook. Every damned one of them is no better than an East German Stasi thug. The thought of some FIB agent thinking, “no this might be wrong “ is laughable when their sole purpose now is to destroy the political enemies of the swamp and especially the democrat marxists party.
AMEN!!!
