The Trump Warrant Had No Legal Basis. A former president’s rights under the Presidential Records Act trump the statutes the FBI cited to justify the Mar-a-Lago raid.

If this were done by a GOP DOJ on a DEM ex-POTUS, this would have been reversed long ago. Instead, this is going to be milked through the midterms.

WSJ doesn’t seem to understand.
The Democrat Party has gone from being merely lawless to ideating that its interests are the very metes and bounds in which all law must operate.

It was the judges responsibility to rule based on knowledge of this. Either he was ignorant of the SCOTUS position or chose to ignore it. Either way it’s an egregious malfeasance.
To: karpov
Use of the word ‘legal’ with anything involving the democRATS produces nothing. For them, there are no rules, regulations, laws or statutes. All of those terms are for ‘others.’ At times, they may quote something in relation to an ‘other’ but only when it is useful to their endgame.
Research Michael Anton and Parallax for a great explanation.

Maybe if judge is smart, he CYAs by releasing all unredacted under the premise that he was lied to by the FBI and hang them out to dry.

You can “unscrew a light bulb” but how do you unscrew this improper raid?

Trump will never see those documents again. I certainly hope that he indexed and copied them.

Unless I misunderstood what he's said (a distinct possibility) Professor Dershowitz has seriously criticized the raid. He and Jonathan Turley are the only two lawyers whose opinions on Constitutional issues I trust implicitly.

Yes and as long as lefties controld MSM, education, the Fed bureaucracy and a lot of the courts it doesn’t matter how illegal it is-we live in a world w 2 criterion/separate scales-one for lefties-anything fine/goes and one for conservatives-nail their butts
To: karpov; Liz; Travis McGee
... Trump’s documents are covered by a specific statute, the Presidential Records Act of 1978... The former president’s rights under the PRA trump any application of the laws the FBI warrant cites.My question? Was EACH AND EVERY FBI AGENT AND DRIVER INVOLVED IN THE RAID CLEARED FOR OUR HIGHEST SECURITY CLEARANCES?
Someone who hates Trump and hates our country on the 7th floor of the FBI handpicked the agents who raided Trump's home.
