NEW: Judge Cannon Unseals Unredacted Mar-a-Lago Search Warrant Affidavit
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com ^ | 4/28/2024 | Cristina Laila

Judge Aileen Cannon unsealed an unredacted version of the FBI’s affidavit used to obtain a Mar-a-Lago search warrant.

In August 2022 the Biden Justice Department released a highly redacted Trump raid affidavit.

Media organizations asked to unseal the affidavit in support of the search warrant.

Only a redacted version was previously unsealed.

Last year Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart approved new aspects of the Trump Mar-a-Lago search warrant to be unsealed, however “the government agreed that a redacted version of the Response could be unsealed without compromising legitimate governmental interests,” Bruce Reinhart wrote in his order on motion to unseal.

The newly unredacted documents reveal how the Biden Regime shifted the investigation from classified documents to an Espionage Act case.

In the unredacted version, the unidentified FBI Special Agent says he received training at Quantico specific to “counterintelligence and espionage investigations.”

Jack Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami last June for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate which Secret Service agents protected.

Trump was charged with 31 counts under the Espionage Act of willful retention of national defense information and 6 other process crimes stemming from his conversations with his lawyer.

Happy Unredaction Sunday!

Unsealed filings in classified docs include FBI affidavit to get search warrant to raid Mar-a-Lago. (Left is most recent publicly available affidavit that I’m aware of)

“It’s not a raid, with all due respect. They were serving valid process, in accordance with the laws and constitution of the United States and the state of Florida.” He further adds, “They’ve been smeared as the Gestapo for doing their jobs”

The redacted was used to spin conspiracy

After years of lying and hiding, it took months to make documents available to Americans via FOIA to reveal what the corrupt Biden/Obama gang was after in its loathsome FBI raid on Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
<><>the doddering dithering Biden wanted to highlight Trump’s having classified documents
<><>to neutralize Biden/Obama’s influence-peddling sales of classifieds,
<><>the criminal-prone Dems were frantic WRT Trump having Hillary’s Russian dossier docs.

Is this true or a supposition or sarcasm?

It's true.

It’s not a raid

It would help if the OP had showed who said what was in the quote. I searched and found it was DeSantis. Why couldn't I use either word?

The dems have not found a judge to “raid” nor “search” O’s warehouse.

They want it both ways: They want to force Trump to take possession of classified documents, implicitly admitting he owns them, then they want to prosecute him for possessing the very documents they forced him to take possession of and implicitly admitted he owned.

The unredacted affidavit makes it sound like all the boxes originated from the White House in January 2021.

Why would this need to be redacted?

See post #30 (https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4234252/posts?page=30#30)

Trump probably has multiple backups in safe deposit boxes. I am sure that there are people still in government with access to what Trump had put in “safe” storage for the time when he needs to reveal the crimes of the Obama/Biden Administrations.

We both know it.

The unf thing is that the GOP knows it too and refuse to rally around Pres Trump and loudly and clearly condemn this crap until they lose their voices.

Instead, they enable, assist and/or ignore historic lawlessness and disorder.

I purposely left off DeSantis’ name.

Because it is not about the Harvard educated attorney telling me and you this is lawful and constitutional=

it’s about every one of them that gets in front of a microphone and pretends none of this stuff is happening at best-at worst they lie to us.

One explanation of the difference between a "raid" and a "search":

A raid is the execution of a search warrant with the element of surprise because there is a reasonable likelihood that the people and place to be searched will use force to resist the search and/or destroy potential evidence. So, a search warrant has to be issued before a raid can occur. But the execution of a search warrant does not always require a raid, such as in the case of the defendant already being arrested and then a warrant is given to search the person’s vehicle that was parked near the scene of the arrest (eg, a hotel parking lot).

I apologize if you were confused.

It’s entirely my fault.

Since President Trump came down the escalator with Melania.

And EVERYBODY knows this. Jeez.

I did not think I could be any more disheartened than I already was, but this news does make it so.

Judicial Watch seems to be the only organization that is really working well to try to expose the criminality of the left. I support Judicial Watch

If you are "disheartened" by THIS fantastic news, you are doing it all wrong. There is nothing — zip, zero, nada — negative about this development. The hordes of lawfare plotters are being totally outplayed.

The only card the enemy has is to dishearten you, and the number of "what's-the-use-because-they're-just-gonna-cheat" posters here is indication that it somewhat works.

DON'T BUY IT. Leftists are losing on every front.

Get with the enormous forward energy or get out of the way.
