Exclusive — Lee Smith: People I Trust Say FBI Raid Was Search for Russiagate Documents at Mar-a-Lago
breitbart ^ | 8/29/2022 | ROBERT KRAYCHIK

Columnist Lee Smith, author of The Plot Against the President: The True Story of How Congressman Devin Nunes Uncovered the Biggest Political Scandal in U.S. History, said colleagues and peers of his — whose judgment he trusts — speculate that the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s private residence at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, FL, was a search for documents related to its “Russiagate” surveillance operation of the 45th president.

“I think the best way to understand this is in the context of a six-year-long operation targeting Donald Trump, Donald Trump’s aides, and Donald Trump’s supporters,” Smith said on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday with host Joel Pollak. “I have different colleagues and people whose insight and whose wisdom I trust very much, and they believe that what the FBI was looking for were documents related to … what the FBI called the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, but what most most of the rest of us know as the Russiagate operation meant to target candidate Trump, then President-elect Trump, and then President Donald J. Trump.”

Smith said the people whose speculation he was relaying “have much more insight” and “much more knowledge” about the FBI’s operations than he.

Smith noted that many of the FBI agents organizing the raid on Mar-a-Lago have been involved in the FBI’s ostensible investigation of Trump for years. He recalled a report from RealClearInvestigations titled, “FBI Unit Leading Mar-a-Lago Probe Earlier Ran Discredited Trump-Russia Investigation.”

Kash Patel has said the same thing. It is all related to the lawsuit Trump filed in March.

We said that here the night it happened. I hope Trump made copies.

Robert Barnes as well.

Who knows, but the theory does seem to answer a lot of questions.

Please, please, please let it be a trap Trump laid. All he had to do was slip in a doc confessing to the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and Hoffa’s murder, then tape him and his lawyers slipping it into the box while giggling loudly.

Well, it makes sense that the 7th floor would want any documents that would implicate them or Clinton. Trump may yet drain the swamp.

As Francis Meton (The Manhattan Contrarian) said, the FBI is not entitled to the benefit of the doubt. They are totally corrupt and need to disbanded.

Kash Patel rightfully feels targeted. He has been busy lately.

The FIB's armed home invasion robbery at Mar-a-lago should not go unpunished.

If Trump didn’t have his people do a complete sort-and-inventory of all of his white house papers, he made a big mistake.

The FBI doesn’t want “DECLASSIFIED” documents to be made public , ever!

The FBI comes up wit a “General Warrant” scheme to get a warrant.

The “magistrate” who signed said warrant, likely doesn’t have the Constitutional Authority ti Sign the warrant in the first place.

Last time I checked only Article 3 judges can sign federal warrants.

The FBI takes the Bogus warrant and raids Trumps home and takes a lot of stuff not named or related to the bullshit line the judge swallowed about “classified” documents.

Why wouldn’t the entire bunch of characters, including the magistrate, qualify for Felony Armed Home Invasion and Armed Robbery Charges and prosecution, when the “Warrant” is ruled Illegal??
