Judicial Watch: Voicemail Recording Shows FBI and Secret Service Coordination on Raid of Trump’s Home
Judicial Watch ^

Posted on 05/08/2024 7:18:10 PM PDT by TigerClaws

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it received a recording of a phone message left by an FBI special agent for someone at the Secret Service in the context of the raid on President Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.

The August 11, 2022, recording says:

Yes, hi, this is Special Agent [redacted] from FBI [unintelligible]. We met on Monday [the day of the raid]. We have a couple of specific follow-up asks of you, um, so give me a call so we can discuss that. My number is [redacted]. Again, my name is [redacted]. Thanks, bye.

The recording was uncovered in an October 2022 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security for all communications of the U.S. Secret Service internally and with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding the raid on President Trump’s home and for any video or audio recordings made during the raid on August 8, 2022 (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:22-cv-03147)).

“This recording is real-time evidence of the Biden administration’s whole government operation to abuse Trump by raiding his home. Judicial Watch will continue to piece together the details of the conspiracy to launch an unprecedented and malicious raid on the home of Biden’s chief political opponent,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.

Judicial Watch is in the forefront of the court battles for transparency regarding Biden administration’s targeting of Trump.

In March 2024, Judicial Watch sued the U.S. Department of Energy for records about the retroactive termination of former President Donald Trump’s security clearance and/or access to classified information.

In August 2023, Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for records of the Archives’ role in President Trump’s White House records controversy; whether it offered Trump a secure storage location other than the National Archives; and if the Archives consulted with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence regarding the classification or declassification procedures of any of the alleged classified documents found at Trump’s Florida residence.

In June 2023, Judicial Watch obtained DOJ records that showed top officials of the National Security Division discussing the political implications of Trump allowing CNN to use closed-circuit TV (CCTV) footage of the raid on his Mar-a-Lago home. The documents confirmed that the Justice Department had asked that Mar-a-Lago CCTV be turned off before the raid.

A separate Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration resulted in the release of records about the unprecedented document dispute between Archives and President Trump. Click here or here to review the records.

In August 2022, Judicial Watch successfully sued to unseal the search warrant affidavit used to justify the unprecedented raid on the home of former President Trump.

In September 2022, Judicial Watch filed lawsuits against the DOJ for its records and the FBI’s records about the Mar-a-Lago raid search warrant application and approval, as well as communications about the warrant between the FBI, Executive Office of the President and the Secret Service.

Reasonable precaution against “friendly fire”.

Oh goody.

The President’s Secret Service has picked a political side?

That’s just f***ing outstanding that even the SS has to play the stupid game along with the rest of the commies.

If by some miracle Trump gets reelected he probably should have is own private security.

If it was me I would have them fully armed with the latest B&T SCW submachine gun varent in 10mm plus a new run of Stoner 63 pattern machine guns in belt fed configuration.

Any prog seeing such a detail around Trump will wet their panties and run off to the local bar for anything with an umbrella in it.

That is what I thought. Not to coordinate would have been really, really stupid.

Just learned today that the photos of smearing Trump in the Lar-a-Lago raid for having folders of classified documents was phony and staged.

The folder saying “Secret” was an empty one put over some innocuous pages. Unbelievable.

I have never shied away from skepticism about government lies since November, 1963 but this is really something.

Interesting you mentioned 1963.

Amazing flip by the left - who said the Deep State was behind Kennedy (both of them) assassinations and now? Perfectly fine handing away all control and power to the Deep State as long as they target the opposition.

Holy crap. The Secret Service is supposed to protect the president, and they were conspiring with the Stasi

Yes. It’s just professional law-enforcement activity. Coordinating and making sure there’s no friendly fire. And we know the secret service is super professional.
Like the way they watched all their protectees going back-and-forth to rape young children on Epstein island and they remained silent. Because you know, they’re professional law enforcement.

RE: Interesting you mentioned 1963.

•The poignant opening of the screenplay for the X-File episode “Byers” :

My name is John Fitzgerald Byers. I was named after our 35th president, and I keep having this beautiful dream. In my dream, the events of November 22nd, 1963, never happened. In it, my namesake was never assassinated. Other things are different, too, in my dream. My country is hopeful and innocent - young again. Young in spirit. My fellow citizens trust their elect officials, never once having been betrayed by them. My government is truly “of the people, by the people, for the people”. All my hopes for my country, for myself... all are fulfilled. I have everything a person could want - home and family... and love. Everything that counts for anything in life... I have it. But the dream ends the same way every time. I lose it all.
From X-files Season 6 episode

I don’t understand why they protect the criminals involved in this stuff by redacting their names. They should publish their names and addresses.

That’s the kind of thing I don’t understand. The Secret Service sees criminal activity taking place, but they only cover up the evidence. They are “protecting” the politicians and/or family members from being found out for their unlawful and perhaps even treasonous activities.

Mentality on the same level as the assassination of JFK. These Biden Regime clowns are from hell!

Um, no. That's laughable. However:

The Secret Service would have been the only authority to disable the CCTV so FBI would have, well...

...you know.

The documents confirmed that the Justice Department had asked that Mar-a-Lago CCTV be turned off before the raid.
I label that 'collusion'.

I, surely, hope that PDJT isn’t relying on the corrupt and incompetent “Secret Service” for his safety.

Wow! Great point, no video of the deed…. 🤔 Gee, why not. Oh of course, protect sources and methods…. Wouldn’t want a future former President know how the FBI searches the 1st lady’s drawers…….. on maybe other very interesting activities. They want no evidence of their very professional actions……
