Agents from Washington Field Office were involved in raid, the same office that has been the focus of whistleblower complaints.
The FBI raid on Donald Trump's home and office in Florida was approved by the main Justice Department and is part of an investigation in Washington D.C. into the former president's handling of classified information, two sources told Just the News on Monday evening.
The two sources, both briefed on the raid, said the agents who executed the search were from the Washington Field Office, the same office that whistleblowers recently complained to Sen. Charles Grassley was involved in political meddling into investigations involving Trump and Hunter Biden.
The agents were seeking evidence related to whether Trump removed classified documents from the White House to his compound at Mar-a-Lago, the sources said.
The National Archives recently lodged a complaint with the FBI regarding possible mishandling of documents, officials have previously confirmed.

If the Trump administration had done a raid like this, his Attorney General would have to resign and Trump would be impeached (again).
It would help if Trump threw his hat into the ring tomorrow!!!
The Department of Justice and the FBI overdid the plan and;
NOW THEY HAVE VIRTUALLY DESTROYED THEMSELVES!
I was bummed until I thought it out.
They committed SUICIDE.
We shall see it soon enough.

Claire Wolfe, you have a call on the white courtesy phone.
This is a provocation. They are trying to get a reaction that allows a further crackdown.
Don’t take the bait.
Excerpt:
My overall sense of what happened at Mar-a-Lago is that this is a provocation.
If New York Times reporting is right — and they never err on the side of being soft on Trump — then this raid was over documents the National Archives thinks Trump should not have, or perhaps classified documents in his possession. That is not something the FBI raids major political candidates over — See, In Re Hillary Rodham Clinton.
This is a provocation. They are trying to get a reaction that allows a further crackdown. See, In Re J6.
It’s also a provocation to get Trump to declare his candidacy for President before the midterms. Democrats would love to turn 2022 into a referendum on Trump rather than the deliberate destruction of the national borders and inflation.
Would the FBI and DOJ do such a thing? Aren’t they “above” politics? The then FBI Director James Comey admitted to trying to set up the new President Trump by alerting him to the Steele Dossier, and then leaked the story of the briefing to CNN, which gave license to report on the false allegations in the dossier. So yes, the FBI and DOJ would do such a thing, and have done such a thing to Trump.
All the more reason to keep your heads about you.
Don’t take the bait. Being stupid isn’t tough, it’s just stupid.
I flipped back and forth between CNN and MSNBC. At least when I watched, they were not engaging in the expected celebrations. There was a palpable dread that this could backfire against the Democrats. Bigly.
Be smart.

Am I reacting ok????
Yes John but it is a pretext raid to get access to peruse all his documents, especially those including Jan 6th. This is a witch hunt.
Bernie Kerak said it best, if this does not work, the only thing left for them now is an assassination and they will do it.
The Dems/Deep State have declared War on Americans! They are coming after you and me with the IRS, FBI and DOJ. Americans will never surrender.
Good advice. Better to remain calm and keep our powd . . . Crap, I’d better use a different metaphor.
Crazy times, indeed.
The tan pants guys?
That was the JV out of Bozeman.
Waiting to see the raid on Hillary and Bill’s underwear.
‘oh, I forgot Chelsie.
Hillary violated classified doc handling like no one else. And nothing.
Oh, yeah, Webb’s kid.

NOT AGAIN!!

A unified response is more urgently needed since the motivation appears to be to use a brazen display of unchecked executive power to effect the outcome of the congressional elections in November.
What would be a more unprecedented violation of well-known Department of Justice protocols regarding such spectaculars this close to Election Day?
Garland and Wray must be called upon to resign and the federal judge who issued such a warrant must be impeached. Congress cannot escape its legislative responsibility to defend the separation of powers.
This burglary makes the Watergate break in and cover up look like a high school prank.
