Eric Trump reveals HE told Donald FBI raided Mar-a-Lago: Ex-President's son claims agents 'ransacked

Trump's lawyers were not given a copy of the warrant.

 

So what?

 

AG Merick Garland
"Here are his remarks in full:"

"Good afternoon. Since I became attorney general, I have made clear that the Department of Justice will speak through its court filings and its work.

Just now, the Justice Department has filed a motion in the Southern District of Florida to unseal a search warrant and property receipt relating to a court approved search that the FBI conducted earlier this week. That search was a premises located in Florida, belonging to the former president. The department did not make any public statements on the day of the search.
The former president publicly confirmed the search that evening, as is his right. Copies of both the warrant and the FBI property receipt were provided on the day of the search to the former president's counsel, who was on site during the search.

The search warrant was authorized by a federal court upon the required finding of probable cause. The property receipt is a document that federal law requires law enforcement agents to leave with the property owner. The department filed the motion to make public the warrant and receipt in light of the former president's public confirmation with the search, the surrounding circumstances and the substantial public interest in this matter.

Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy. Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly, without fear or favor. Under my watch, that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing.


All Americans are entitled to the even handed application of the law, to due process of the law, and to the presumption of innocence. Much of our work is by necessity conducted out of the public eye. We do that to protect the constitutional rights of all Americans and to protect the integrity of our investigations.

Federal law, long standing department rules and our ethical obligations prevent me from providing further details as to the basis of the search at this time. There are however, certain points I want you to know.

First, I personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. Second, the department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search, and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken.


Third, let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the FBI and Justice Department agents and prosecutors. I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked.

The men and women of the FBI and the Justice Department are dedicated, patriotic public servants. Every day, they protect the American people from violent crime, terrorism and other threats to their safety, while safeguarding our civil rights. They do so at great personal sacrifice and risk to themselves. I am honored to work alongside them.

This is all I can say right now. More information will be made available in the appropriate way and at the appropriate time. Thank you."

 

LOL!

 

Nonsense! Stop making up false claims.

 

The trump mob has the warrant.

 

The FBI is notoriously corrupt. Surely you know that.

“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.”

WASHINGTON EXAMINER, Trump lawyer claims Mar-a-Lago raid search warrant 'very' thin, By Ryan King, Breaking News Reporter, August 09, 2022.

The documents don’t belong to him. He has to return them to the archives.
And when he is an ex POTUS, he can only have classified material if he is authorized.

But hey - let’s wait and see what the DOJ has found during the search.

 

Come on now, it's not like he deleted them like Hillary did.

 

Even if they were they would be required to file a motion with the court to unseal it before revealing it. Apparently some are having trouble understanding how no one can legally defy a court order. It's like a "gag order". If a Judge tells you not to talk about a case it would be illegal for you to do so.

 

Former Presidents always review the documents before they are archived.

 

Are Obama's records in possession of the NA or not? Sorry, but yes, what we are seeing here is extremely unusual. Keep playing make-believe, though. I'm sure you know more than the courts do.

 

Yes, the raid stinks from top to bottom.

 

Trump is more of the toilet flushing type then the "wiping clean" sort.

 

The seal is for the court. Unless you have some evidence that Trump was under a gag order (and he obviously wasn't, because he TALKED ABOUT IT PUBLICLY), then Trump could have published the warrant whenever he wanted. Unsealing is only required for the court/DOJ to make it public.

 

That rumor originated with the WA. Post.

 

Does this clarify what Trump's preference is regarding the search warrant? Link: https://thehill.com/homenews/359803...ch-warrant-says-lawyers-wont-oppose-doj-move/

From the story at the link: "Former President Trump late Thursday called for the release of the warrant allowing the FBI to search his Mar-a-Lago home earlier this week.

“Release the Documents Now!” he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

Trump’s comments came hours after Attorney General Merrick Garland said that the Justice Department had moved to unseal the warrant."

 

That **** show Garland put on yesterday may have convinced the deaf, dumb, and blind to trust him but he should have just kept put in Biden's basement. The only thing he revealed was that he authorized the raid. Of course the fact that Biden threatened him to act more like a prosecutor, then a judge, in going after Trump regarding 1/6 had absolutely nothing to do with this raid. Sure, I believe it didn't. Oh wait! I'm not a Democrat desperate to defend Garland's decisions. Garland stinks!

 

Why no one saw the affidavit was discussed here ad nauseam.
Premises Search Warrants don't need to go into details

.

 

How ABOUT that warrant!

 

He's calling the Democrats bluff.

 

Lie!

 

What was the point of showing FBI overkill when they knew Trump was in NY? Goons.

 

Why do you think trump nominated Wray?
Was he a tool of the left wing back in 2017?

 

No. That is wholly incorrect.
