This was the scene outside the Palm Beach resort Mar-a-Lago owned by Donald Trump on Monday night soon after the former president revealed the FBI had launched a raid on his property.
The image, snapped by local media WPTV, show what appears to be a plain-clothed Secret Service agent with his weapon — an automatic machine gun — as he paraded outside the property.
An unmarked vehicle is also in the picture exiting Mar-a-Lago.
Radar has confirmed the FBI notified its counterparts at the Secret Service that a warrant would be executed and Secret Service facilitated access to the property without issue.
Trump was not at home during the time.
It’s understood the ex-president was either in New York City or at his New Jersey golf club, Bedminster, as the search warrant was executed.
It did not stop him from revealing the unprecedented law enforcement action via a statement on his social media platform just before 7 p.m ET.
"These are dark times for our nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before," he said.
Trump did not specify why the FBI was searching his estate.
But as Radar reported, the search warrant focused on seizing classified documents the former president was supposed to turn over to the National Archives.
Trump is at the center of two criminal probes: the investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and the probe of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
A source with knowledge of the circumstances of the raid said “whatever the FBI uncovered, it could ultimately lead to unsuspected new evidence in both of the investigations.”
“However, any decision to launch a raid like this is not ever made without the full consent of the nation’s top law enforcement official,” the insider told RadarOnline.com
“That is Attorney General Merrick Garland and in order for Garland to give the green light on a raid of this magnitude, he needs to be convinced that his deputies had enough evidence of the commission of a criminal offense," the source added. “It’s not just Garland’s view, either. A judge would have had to view the search warrant request from the Department of Justice and issued the order to search for and seize property.”
Last time I saw this was in Columbia.
We have entered turd-world status and that should be just enough to push the other nations away from the dollar standard.
Dox ever one of the phookin TRAITORS that took part in this.
Do you know any of them?
Shun them. Embarrass them. Tell them what you think of them.
Let everyone else know what they have done.
The horshiite about the good “rank-and-file” in governemnt is just that, Horshiite.
no front license plate.
Just one more Communist Insurrectionist to be tried for Treason
Florida has no front plate................
would you be so kind to post a link about this, it is the funniest thing I have heard in weeks. Thanks
FBI agents with machine guns outside Trumps home while investigating him for no legit reason
Secret Service agents renting Malibu mansion for $30K per month to guard Hunter Biden who is living in a$50K per month Malibu mansion paid for by a wealthy Democrat donor while Hunter sells his cocaine snort straw produced “art” for $500K per pop to secret buyers.
Paul Pelosi almost kills another driver while smashed on drugs and booze with a young lady not his wife riding in his Porsche
The times we live in
Every agent must be doxed and his or her life made a PEACFUL AND LAWFUL living hell.
Don’t protest at mar-a-lago. Protest at agents homes. Protest at FBI offices.
Again, lawfully and peacefully.
Fire their spouses. Kick their kids out of private schools. Shun their children.
Eventually the social cost of just following orders will be too high.
It’s a peaceful, nonviolent, solution.
It looks like the scum bag standing ready at the gate has two badges. One on his belt on one on his breast. He must be a super duper Fed agent!
“whatever the FBI uncovered, it could ultimately lead to unsuspected new evidence in both of the investigations.”
IOW a fishing expedition. If it was unexpected evidence how was the warrant justified?
There is no way I can post my thoughts here about this. When was democracy lost? When they made up the Russia collusion story? When they made up the wet-the-bed story? When they impeached Trump for the first time? The second time? When they threw people into solitary without a trial?
The lying media is their marketing dept.
His parents must be so proud.
The fbi was looking for whatever their left hand out into his safe and their right out took out, shocked that it was there.
Banana Republic, #fjb
Plain old pig.
In for the power trip and $ / pension .
Those are called The Propaganda Ministry. Sometimes Ministry of Propaganda. Goebbels would be quite jealous of our media.
So who was the POS federal judge who signed the warrant?
