Is This What the Biden Admin Was Really After When It Raided Mar-a-Lago?
PJ Media ^ | 02/15/2024 | Matt Margolis

We already knew that the FBI used the Clinton-funded Steele Dossier to obtain FISA warrants and justify spying on Trump campaign officials in the hopes of thwarting his campaign and undermining his presidency. But this week we learned that the CIA under Barack Obama recruited the intelligence services of foreign allies to illegally spy on 26 associates of Donald Trump before the FBI launched its counterintelligence probe in the summer of 2016. 

But before we get more into that, let's take a step back. Back in December, CNN reported that a binder "containing highly classified information related to Russian election interference went missing at the end of Donald Trump’s presidency, raising alarms among intelligence officials that some of the most closely guarded national security secrets from the US and its allies could be exposed."

Its disappearance, which has not been previously reported, was so concerning that intelligence officials briefed Senate Intelligence Committee leaders last year about the missing materials and the government’s efforts to retrieve them, the sources said.

In the two-plus years since Trump left office, the missing intelligence does not appear to have been found.

But that's not true. According to a report from Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag, the binder contains evidence of the CIA's efforts to spy on Trump and interfere in the 2016 election. And this binder is what the Biden administration was really after when they raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.

CNN and its intelligence sources meant “exposure” in a bad way. Sources have told Public and Racket, however, that the secrets officials worry might be “exposed” are ones that would implicate them in widespread abuses of intelligence authority dating back to the 2015-2016 election season.

“I would call [the binder] Trump’s insurance policy,” said someone knowledgeable about the case. “He was very concerned about having it and taking it with him because it was the road map” of Russiagate.

Transgressions range from Justice Department surveillance of domestic political targets without probable cause to the improper unmasking of a pre-election conversation between a Trump official and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to WMD-style manipulation of intelligence for public reports on alleged Russian “influence activities.”

BOTTOM LINE:

According to a source from the House Intelligence investigation, they believe that much of the material at Mar-a-Lago is what the investigators thoroughly examined. “We think a lot of that product in Mar-a-Lago is” what investigators “went through,” the source said. The FBI was “worried that there was a copy [of the binder] there.”

“I think [retrieving the binder] was part of [FBI’s] motivation. It was Russiagate,” a source close to Trump said. “It was years of FISA [surveillance warrant] abuse. It was doing a 702 [FISA] query to surveil 300,000 Americans. It was using taxpayer dollars to fund the Steele memo and get Justice Department lawyers when we fired Christopher Steele. It was the mountain of corruption we uncovered.”

President John Kennedy purportedly made the statement, “The CIA should be splintered into a thousand pieces and scattered to the winds.”

The DOJ/FBI are America’s KGB.

Yes, the KGB was about squashing dissent, but its main job was to protect the ruling Party and the government - enforcing political uniformity, party discipline, and protecting the party from division or scandal at the highest levels.

Sound familiar?

Matt, Michael, and Alex call Sundance. He’s been on this too. Collaborate.
Even if exposed, a significant number of democrat voters would deem these actions necessary to protect ‘democracy’ from the evil Trump.

It seems that the Mar-a-Lago raid and charges are just a repeat of the Ukraine interference charges.

The Dems commit the crimes and then charge Trump.

It’s nice to see the rest of the world catching onto what we all figured out long ago.

Obama had a ball with tax-financed US intel——put all 17 tax-rich intel agencies
at 2016 candidate Hillary’s campaign disposal to get something she could pin on Trump.......

Obama ordered tax-rich US Intel to tap foreign spy ops
to surveil 26 innocent Trump associates in the 2016 election runup.

Americans were specifically targeted by tax-paid agents:
<><>they were targets of US Intel and Obama’s law enforcement
<><>targets for shady intel collection and misinformation,
<><>targeted to covertly initiate contact
<><>to slyly manipulate
<><>to covertly develop useful intel harmful to Trump.

By March 2016 Obama was sending tax-paid agents agents to the UK, Australia, Italy —
the Israeli Mossad in Italy apparently at a Brits MI6 intel school they had set up.

Then... whoppee...Obama and Hillary “found Trump had colluded with Russia.”

My assumption has always been that the Biden Administration raid had to do with secret dealings with Iran that were clearly illegal.

If you remember when the Big Zero negotiated the special deal to supposedly keep Iran from developing nuclear weapon enrichment capability, there was the formal deal published and side deals that the Administration kept secret. I would also wager that Slow Joe’s finger prints (as VP) were all over those secret deals.

I think a number of us suggested at the time of the raid on maralago that it was proof of Russiagate that President Trump had spirited away. I suspect he has it stored on countless thumb drives spread across the country by now.

Finally an explanation for Mar-a-lago raid that makes sense.

Clapper-Brenner-Clinton-Obama plot against Trump using CIA. Makes perfect sense.
