Contrary to Brewha's TDS muddled brain, these are banana republic tactics, to try to smear Trump and his endorsed candidates for the upcoming midterms. The whole drama of the raid with goons and flashing lights is banana republic political theater.


you heard ? i guess people are saying so it must be true... Trump lawyer CHRISTINA BOBB (as well as another of his lawyers) was onsite and was presented the warrant prior to the search by her own account. She was also presented a manifest after they were done of what was taken as is required by law... Trumps team has had the warrant info and manifest since Monday and could make it public if they want as he claims he does... for the Government to make it public a process must be followed which is underway according to the FBI.

I also heard CHRISTINA BOBB said Trump won the election by millions, but now you believe what CNN told you about what she said? And you believe the FBI is an honest institution that follows the rules?


Well, it appears the lady said she wasn't allowed to see the whole thing while the Gestapo was already raiding the place...

Quote:
"A search warrant for the raid of former President Donald Trump's lavish Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida was "very" thin, his lawyer claims.

Christina Bobb was one of the three attorneys for Trump who reportedly arrived on the scene Monday after FBI agents began to search the property. Bobb said after a brief back-and-forth with the agents that she managed to see the search warrant but was not allowed to see the affidavit that contains more details on why the search was permitted. Since the raid, which Trump himself revealed in a statement claiming he was the target of a political operation, there have been calls for him to release the warrant."

drgIng, you are suggesting Trump shold prove/demonstrate his innocence. He should not have to (nor should anyone). The government made their claims, and should be able to substantiate them.

Also, if DJT published the documents himself, wouldn't the assumption be tha that he doctored them? You know, because of the benefit of the doubt everyone would afford him?

Let the Gov't produce it so no one can claim DJT monkeyed with the affidavit or the return.

as i mentioned and they have said publicly, the Gov is working to release the docs but that takes time... if he is so anxious for the release then he can do it today... we will all know it wasn't altered (i wouldn't assume it was) if/when the gov officially release it...

Hmm...I see, so you can be presented with a search warrant backed up by an army of armed goons with automatic weapons and you have no right to know what it's all about. Maybe they should have disposed of all formalities and just done a no-knock raid, bust the doors down, and throw in some of those flash-bang bombs for good measure. ๐Ÿ’ฃ๐ŸŽ†

You are avoiding the issue, maybe you were there and you were privy to what was in the warrant but the Trump's lawyers said they weren't allowed to. Must have been some big secrets in that sealed warrant if only the issuers of the warrant were allowed to know what was in there and not the target of the warrant as the goons were going through Melania's underwear...

Trump's other lawyer Lindsey Halligan who was the second to arrive on scene, "Halligan says she and Bobb were barred from going inside the complex, forced to remain outside, between the ballroom and residence, on the grounds of Mar-a-Lago" and "Halligan said the search warrant was sealed, and because she had not been party to this aspect of Trump's legal portfolio until Monday, did not know what kinds of documents the FBI might be looking for nor what kinds of documents the former president keeps with him at Mar-a-Lago. Nonetheless, she insisted that the government's search "was an appalling display of abuse and power โ€” complete overkill." She also asserted that "if they needed documents, they could have asked. There's never been an issue with compliance." Halligan said the search came as a "huge surprise."

Can you manufacture any more outrage? No one's ever thought of hiding stuff in a closet! Oh no! They searched her stuff just like they would at anyone else's house. Except at someone else's house they would have just thrown everything onto the floor.

I wonder what the media is going to tell you to be outraged by next! Can't wait!

So give trump's lawyers access to classified materials when they don't have a security clearance...

It was a raging insurrection with Viking collusion that led to the downfall of the United States followed by an authoritarian counter revolution that ushered in a new era.

It's also quite notable that, despite these documents being SO super sensitive as to require a search warrant, the warrant was not executed for three days after it was signed by a judge... Trump could have sold the nuclear codes in those three days!

Why Trump's Mar-a-Lago Affidavit Is Still Under Wraps

Ex-prosecutors say DOJ has to protect ongoing investigations
Trump allies have focused attack line on a sealed affidavit


Bloomberg

Once the Justice Department announced it wouldnโ€™t stand in the way of releasing the search warrant for Donald Trumpโ€™s Mar-a-Lago home, the presidentโ€™s allies shifted tack, calling for the immediate release of more detailed information. Thatโ€™s not likely to happen.

The Justice Department will want to keep an underlying affidavit for the warrant sealed to protect the investigation and any sources or classified information, former prosecutors said. Itโ€™s also not up to DOJ to decide whether to share something filed under seal -- as with the warrant, the department would have to make a request in court.

It would be highly unusual to see that affidavit now, let alone at any point before someone is formally charged, said Sarah Krissoff, a former federal prosecutor in New York now in private practice.

โ€œIf there are sources close to Trump who are providing that information, the department is going to be very careful about outing those sources,โ€ she said.

The search warrant for Trumpโ€™s home would generally describe the location, what investigators are looking for, and what crimes are under investigation. A receipt of what items FBI agents took during Mondayโ€™s search is also likely to be unsealed, though it likely wonโ€™t include many details about the contents of documents.

Trump posted overnight on his social media site, Truth Social, that he wouldnโ€™t oppose releasing those documents; heโ€™s had copies since the search took place and could make them public at any time.

But with their demand for the release of the warrant and receipt met, those in Trumpโ€™s inner circle and conservative commentators have shifted to calling for the immediate publication of the affidavit, which is presented to the judge to support the warrant application.

Such an affidavit typically features a narrative explaining not only what crimes are under investigation, but also how investigators have been gathering information to date, what evidence they already have, and how they believe any evidence seized at the property they want to search will build on that probe.

Rudy Giuliani, a Trump ally and the former US attorney in Manhattan, tweeted Friday morning that โ€œGarland must release the affidavitโ€ -- a judge would decide whether to grant any request to unseal -- and that, โ€œRight now we are getting the โ€˜run around.โ€™โ€ Similar calls have come from commentators like Trumpโ€™s former acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Newsmax host Greta Van Susteren.

Christopher Slobogin, director of the Criminal Justice Program at Vanderbilt University, said that while the affidavit should eventually become public, the government โ€œwouldnโ€™t want to tip its hand too earlyโ€ about the details of its probe. Prosecutors may want to keep information in the application secret until they present a case to a grand jury for a possible indictment, he said.

Information in the affidavit about what they learned from a source at Mar-a-Lago could expose the person even if their name is redacted, Slobogin said.

โ€œThe application should describe in a fair amount of detail how the informant came by the information, the basis of the informantโ€™s information, and indicia of reliability -- why we can trust this informant,โ€ Slobogin said. โ€œThereโ€™s a lot of detail in a good warrant application that would help someone identify an informant.โ€

Any references to classified information would also give the DOJ a reason not to support unsealing the affidavit, Mary McCord, the former acting head of the departmentโ€™s National Security Division, wrote in an email.

The Justice Department canโ€™t unilaterally decide to declassify information; there are a series of steps that judges have to take to determine what classified information a defendant must have access to once theyโ€™re charged and what information the government must admit at trial to ensure a defendantโ€™s rights are protected. Prosecutors can be forced to drop a case if they canโ€™t reveal government secrets that a judge deems necessary.

โ€œNothing that is classified could be unsealed, so if there were consent from the government, it likely would be to the release of a heavily redacted version of the affidavit,โ€ McCord wrote.

The Washington Post reported that FBI agents were looking for documents related to nuclear weapons during the Mar-a-Lago search; it wasnโ€™t clear if those involved US weapons or weapons that belonged to another country. The New York Times reported that investigators were searching for materials related to highly sensitive operations. Earlier this summer, multiple outlets reported that a top DOJ counterintelligence official, Jay Bratt, was part of a team that visited Mar-a-Lago to review the materials in Trumpโ€™s possession; Bratt signed the departmentโ€™s motion yesterday to unseal the search warrant.

Separate from the fight over public disclosure, Representative Mike Turner, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, told reporters that he wanted the Justice Department to turn over information to lawmakers that officials relied on to secure the search warrant.

โ€œThereโ€™s nothing that would be the subject matter of this that cannot be disclosed to our committee,โ€ Turner said. โ€œWe want to know what was this imminent national security threat upon which this was based.โ€

Already covered in #113. Try to keep up.

I go to Franks hut along with 40 FBI goons armed with AR15s and knock on the door.
Frank opens the door
I say we have a warrant here to search your house.
Frank asks, "for what?", what are you looking for?", I have the right to be secure in my person, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures", Let me read the warrant"
I say "NO, it's a super extra special secret, you can't open it and read it"
Banana Republic stuff. Frank likes bananas so he says "come on in then, can I show you where the wife keeps her lingerie too? I have my favorites that I like to wear."

As I said earlier, none of this necessarily means any criminal charges will result, but per usual you have made decisions prior to facts.

Siracusa is absolutely correct that a president can declassify any documents he wants. He doesn't need a special stamp either. If the document has information that would be useful to foreign adversaries and may negatively impact the security of the States, then he should rightly go through proper channels for advice.
Every president has declassified and removed documents from the White House when leaving office but since this raid was a calculated political hit job on trying to prevent the return of Trump, he is being accused of espionage?

So your argument is every president sneaks out national security sensitive documents and arbitrarily declassifies things based on whether or not it's going to save their own azz?

Is that your argument?

That's not a strawman, ... , that's exactly how it sounded in what you wrote.

...

Oh, he doesn't have the power to retroactively declassify sh*t as he sees fit... I think you believe he does.
