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.

The FIB is worried that Trump has copies of internal FIB memos on the Russia Collusion claims and impeachment that he ordered declassified and released, but they slow-rolled and never released. This was a soft coup attempt that could get the FIB skanks death or life in prison. They were trying to grab any documents to save themselves, not to investigate Trump.

Wouldn’t this raid impact every single legal attack they have lined up? Everything can justly be claimed as fruit of the poisoned tree.

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.

Yup.

Trump is literally Adolph Hitler. That means the Democrats can do anything they want.

And Mitch took his sweet, lollygagging time to slow walk out the most tepid of statements. And, a lot of stern letters from others and nothing more.

Paul Ryan still hiding? Cheney and everyone else still bemoaning Trump as an existential threat right as these jack-booted thugs trample the Constitution?

This is a strong argument that blows away the FBI position. Mike Pence can ESAD.

Rivkin and Casey are the geniuses. They wrote the article, not karpov.

Was EACH AND EVERY FBI AGENT AND DRIVER INVOLVED IN THE RAID CLEARED FOR OUR HIGHEST SECURITY CLEARANCES?.......probably not.

The major flaw in this legal analysis is that it presumes that judges follow the law.

And who approved the raid at DOJ? Someone needs his ass sued into oblivion. Thank God that Commie POS is not on the USSC.

It’s all about Crossfire Hurricane.

Civil lawsuit and elections coming, FBI and DOJ and Obama, Biden, Hillary and others had to deep six the evidence.

Seriously, anyone with a brain needs to understand that just being on this forum is now a risk. This isn’t your parents Republic anymore.

To summarize: Garland and his 30 Gaystapo cockroaches broke the law. So why haven’t they been arrested and thrown in prison?

The FBi controls the Redactions.

Every accusation is left unredacted, every potential law that could ever apply to anyone is left unredacted, the sections on proof and knowledge will be totally redacted.

Gee, let’s start bringing legal action both “professionally” and PERSONALLY against these perpetual perpetrators who continually ignore the law

These FIBbers, many who also hold law degrees, should also be disbarred.

Oh and there’s the Zuckerberg pansy. Go after his ass too. There has to be statutory and Constitutional violations galore against him and FB

ENOUGH of these attacks on our rights

The headline was confusing enough... but everything is conjecture at this point. I’d like to get actual facts but will probably be dead before that happens.
