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

No he returned the 15 boxes of documents BEFORE the raid. Not after.

 

Its cute how Trump used the word 'banana Republic' to mock the US, and his apologists immediately start using the same phrase.

You know what happens in real banana republics? When the ruling elite is voted out of the office, they refuse to accept it.

 

It was reported at the time. But it is hardly a defense.
He returned 15 boxes that he wasn’t supposed to have in the first place, and failed to return other things he also wasn’t supposed to have.

 

I reckon there would be almost nobody who considers that Humpty did not use the DOJ, the FBI and whatever else there is to serve his political agenda. Nobody 'got' Hillary because there was nothing to get her for, it seems.

 

That may be the case, and if so it is a foolish error.
Biden may have declined with age, but his long experience at the highest levels of our government far exceeds that of any of his officials or advisors. IMO, the nation would be better off if they started doing exactly what he orders them to do.

 

WHERE’S THE WARRANT? — It’s been two days since the FBI searched Trump’s Florida home, spurring loud calls for transparency at Justice. But Trump’s lawyers have the warrant and a detailed manifest of what the FBI took away. Why haven’t they been released? We asked Trump lawyer CHRISTINA BOBB, who was at Mar-a-Lago during the search, and will report back what we hear.

DOJ DOESN'T COMMENT. PRETTY SIMPLE, TFG CAN THOUGH RIGHT? WHY ISN'T HE?

 

I read that the lawyers refused to turn off the security cameras inside. Perhaps that's why the agents didn't look through the boxes.

 

Absolutely

 

What is there to believe or not believe about a simple statement of fact??

 

No.

If you read something other than conspiracy sources, you would have more credibility on this forum.

 

'Dishonesty, it's a hallmark of' all professional politicians.

 

Not true. How is it you don't know that Comey admitted she committed a crime, but refused to suggest prosecution?

 

"A State Department spokeswoman says Hillary Clinton did not break any rules by relying solely on her personal email account. Federal law allows government officials to use personal email so long as relevant documents are preserved for history."

The law was amended in late 2014 to require that personal emails be transferred to government servers within 20 days. But that was after Clinton left office. Watchdog groups conceded that she may not have violated the text of the law, but they argue she violated the spirit of it.

FBI director: Hillary Clinton ‘extremely careless’ but no charges recommended

“Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,”

 

The White House has said they didn't know about the raid. Who is America going to believe between our current POTUS (who has never had a residence raided by the FBI, BTW) and a lying corrupt former POTUS??

Hmmmm...

 

The warrant does not include the affidavit (sealed) used to obtain the warrant. In other words it's just a cover page authorizing the search.

 

Corrupt would mean he got something in return for issuing the warrant. Do you have evidence for this?

This is, of course, a fine example of the continued character assassination that the guy will have to endure in the coming weeks and months, no matter what the actual evidence shows. Trumpers have already made up their minds that their idol is as clean as fresh, white snow, and everyone else is out to get him. Therefore, everyone who dares to cross their idol's path needs to be destroyed.

 

Is it supposed to be illegal for Trump to take classified documents to Mar-a-lago?

 

They are not allowed to, derp...

 

Why the Trump search warrant is nothing like Hillary's emails

The Justice Department official who oversaw the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified records says there’s simply no comparing the search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence to the case against the former secretary of State.

“People sling these cases around to suit their political agenda but every case has to stand on its own circumstances,” said David Laufman, who led the Justice Department’s counterintelligence section until 2018 and is now a partner at the firm Wiggin and Dana.

Naturally, false equivalences will abound as they always do.

 

And sniffing I'm sure.

 

Ok. Trump returned 15 boxes before the raid

BUT

The raid was to be sure trump returned the content of the 15 boxes…

Knowing trump, he sent 15 empty boxes

 

Planting evidence isn't an unlikely thing for LEO to do. There's a clear history of it happening. If the FBI would lie to get a warrant . . .

https://news.yahoo.com/fbi-lawyer-plead-guilty-falsifying-160600549.html

. . . why would they not also plant evidence?

 

That would be hilarious!

 

Care to point to POLICY that stopped them?


The U.S. might be “energy independent,” but it still can’t control production.


This means that although America may be “energy independent” on paper, American consumers have won no benefits from this independence, and American officials cannot assert this independence in any meaningful way. Market dynamics, not overzealous regulations, have imprisoned the industry.

That hasn’t stopped lobbyists from pretending otherwise.

The top reason domestic energy production hasn’t ramped up isn’t Joe Biden’s green energy agenda, according to oil company executives. Instead, it’s a lack of enthusiasm from investors.
https://news.yahoo.com/oil-gas-executives-not-joe-204337317.html

But when asked at a congressional hearing this month about the impact of Biden’s leasing pause, Colette Hirstius, senior vice president of oil giant Shell, said, “I do not think that not having lease sales has raised the costs to consumers.”


“Investors dumped huge funds into shale drilling only to discover that when oil prices dropped, very little value existed at the end of the day,” one executive said. “Investors have demanded restraint and capital discipline of their client companies.”

Wall Street investors are pressuring U.S. drillers to limit production amid record prices.


More than half — 59% — of the 139 executives surveyed by the Dallas Fed listed investor pressure as the primary reason producers are keeping production down.

'Since 2018, the United States has been the world’s largest producer of oil and natural gas. On paper, “we are energy independent,” John Hess, the CEO of Hess, said yesterday at CERAWeek, the energy industry’s annual conference. But what a funny kind of independence it is. As he spoke, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pushed U.S. gas prices to more than $4.10 a gallon, setting a new all-time high. Energy independence has neither insulated the economy from geopolitics nor provided the U.S. with more industrial capacity in an emergency. It certainly hasn’t helped slow down climate change.''

The government doesn’t place any production limits on oil and gas
The oil industry can decide to produce more oil whenever it wants. In fact, the oil industry already possess more than 9,000 approved—but unused—drilling permits on federal lands. Nearly 5,000 of those permits were approved in 2021 alone—the highest figure since the second Bush administration.

The number of permits already approved is about six times the average number of wells drilled annually in the past five years.

The oil industry is sitting on 10 years’ worth of unused leases

"Trump’s lawyers were reportedly forbidden to observe the raid as agents took boxes from the home."

Is it legal?
