The raid on Mar-a-Lago was based largely on information from an FBI confidential human source, one who was able to identify what classified documents former President Trump was still hiding and even the location of those documents, two senior government officials told Newsweek.

The senior Justice Department source says that Garland was regularly briefed on the Records Act investigation, and that he knew about the grand jury and what material federal prosecutors were seeking. He insists, though, that Garland had no prior knowledge of the date and time of the specific raid, nor was he asked to approve it. "I know it's hard for people to believe," says the official, "but this was a matter for the U.S. Attorney and the FBI."
FBI director Christopher Wray ultimately gave his go-ahead to conduct the raid, the senior Justice official says. "It really is a case of the Bureau misreading the impact."

The article seems to be saying they totally screwed up and admit it, while trying to claim it was all non political. Pretending they were just tone deaf.
Except this is beyond tone deaf because who the hell would even bother with a warrant and a confidential informant in a nothing documents dispute?
And with a former president no less!
So of course it was a total hit job.
You can stop your shouting. Thank you.
Very well could be...
Yes! A little dated, but that should be the meme.
It was the house cleaner 😳
this is a leak to make it look like the feds got something from the search
unadulterated bs
Was the informant’s name “John Barron” ?
Exactly which makes NO sense..these documents were there for EIGHTEEN MONTHS, 18, not a week, not a month, not even two months but EIGHTEEN..and they were there in June..Trump was there too he even said “Hi” to them as he walked by..
Didnt Trump get notified last week that he could no longer talk to Mark Meadows, makes ya wonder if he was the one that gave this bogus info to the feds cause how come the safe was empty
Gitmo is too good for them.
an informer is not usually an agent ... just an informer ...
Maybe PDJT was testing somebody...gave them false info - see what happens.
This CYA is all a load of Barbara Streisand. It was a fishing expedition for J6 material and nothing else.
All they brought with them.
Or who released the roe v wade draft docs.
except for the offices specifically mentioned in the Constitution
dont get me wrong they will put Trump through the wringer while he is campaigning for president
the process is the punishment
marc elias has already said this
Grassley recently said lots of KGB whistleblowers have come forward.
Hmmmm.
Rather surprised this informant had all this weight to make the FBI jump so high.
I disagree, never cede ground to the enemy. Lose a little in a battle? Take it back with overwhelming force.
This is all out war, battles will be won, or lost. Stay focused on the war.
