Questions grow about Trump raid after revelation of grand jury subpoena, extensive cooperation
Just the News ^ | August 11, 2022 - 1:29am | John Solomon

Two months before his Florida home was raided by the FBI, former President Donald Trump secretly received a grand jury subpoena for classified documents belonging to the National Archives, and voluntarily cooperated by turning over responsive evidence, surrendering security surveillance footage and allowing federal agents and a senior Justice Department lawyer to tour his private storage locker, according to a half dozen people familiar with the incident.

While the cooperation was mostly arranged by his lawyers, Trump personally surprised the DOJ National Security Division prosecutor and three FBI agents who came to his Mar-a-Lago compound on June 3, greeting them as they came to pick up a small number of documents compliant with the subpoena, the sources told Just the News, speaking only on condition of anonymity because the visit was covered by grand jury secrecy.

The subpoena requested any remaining documents Trump possessed with any classification markings, even if they involved photos of foreign leaders, correspondence or mementos from his presidency.

Secret Service agents were also present and facilitated the visit, officials said.

Trump signaled his full cooperation, telling the agents and prosecutor, "Look, whatever you need let us know," according to two eyewitnesses. The federal team was surprised by the president's invitation and asked for an immediate favor: to see the 6-foot-by-10-foot storage locker where his clothes, shoes, documents and mementos from his presidency were stored at the compound.

40 agents? What the?? Were they expecting a shootout??

More than half the country now decidedly distrusts the FBI and this fiasco is proof positive this administration is using it like some Banana Republic tin horned dictator would......

Trump refused to fight his enemies when he was President and they are nowe coming in for the kill

There is an old saying: "When you come after the King, you best not miss."

They're missing.

Trump should send gift baskets to the FBI for giving him a second term.

lol, they are fools. This is probably as good a place as any to do a round of "remember the time Donald Trump" ala "The Water Boy":

Remember the time Donald Trump celebrated his primary wins by showing off how fine his Trump Wine, Water, and Steaks are? lol He should send them Trump Gift Baskets of wine, steaks, and water. lol

While that is in fact true, when the King refuses to act against his enemies, a miss really doesn’t matter

So is the cabal using the grand jury and Trump’s cooperation as a means to gin-up (as in fake) reasons to then launch the FBI raids? Sure seems like that’s what they are doing.

Of course the document will be suspiciously typed instead of being hand written and the signature line will have been ripped off.

If it was typed...then analysis of the printing can identify the typewriter it was typed with

Who uses a typewriter these days...?

this is really the most authoritative and complete account of the crucial events leading to the unwarranted attack on former President Trump’s personal residence ... no BS, no “anonymous” sources, just the facts ...

If they find any electronic listening devices at Mar-A-Lago, I'll bet they never tell anyone about it.

With each passing day I become more convinced that Trump's campaign team knew they were under illegal surveillance during the 2016 campaign and deliberately gave false information to those who were surveilling them.

Of course they were. They watch CNN and MSNBC all day, so they expected him to meet him at the front door with an AK-47 and full body armor.
