As always, they have nothing to lose by persecuting Donald Trump. It drains his team’s time and resources, and it provides endless negative press coverage that the Democrats’ voting base will gobble up and become emboldened by.
Time to hut this corrupt organization
Further, they need to release the affidavit and full inventory; returning everything.
The DOJ source must be laughing their ass off over feeding O’Donnell bad intel.
So the FBI and media are lying again
If they didn't shop the warrant to a magistrate judge who should have immediately ran out of the room to find an adult, there would have been an immense problem on the hands of the DoJ to demonstrate that the warrant they were seeking wasn't ridiculously overbroad.
Does this mean they needed a warrant in the first place? If Trump was cooperating with whatever they were trying to do, absolutely not. I'd bet that important detail was hidden from the magistrate judge and not included in the affidavit as well.
Does this mean I think Trump was breaking the law with the way he declassified or stored the documents? No. The President has, for better or worse, plenary power over classified information. It could easily be described as reckless because there's no telling what sources and methods were potentially revealed from the assembled information (Executive reports rarely include detailed sources and methods, but the nature of the information in those reports could be reasonably used by adversaries to figure out how the US got the information, thereby revealing and burning millions to billions of dollars of invested spy stuff), but still, while President, it was his call to make.
I personally think the FBI was charged with conducting a "damage assessment" of the Trump Presidency on the intelligence community, and all those boxes represent the assembled evidence of that "damage" because each report could have sources and methods revealed. The DoJ decided to say "well, we're conducting a damage assessment, let's see if we can get anyone indicted along the way here."
If this were a sane and cordial government, the National Archives, the FBI, DoJ, ODNI, and Trump teams would be going over all of these documents cooperatively and ask things like "you know this report being declassified puts X, Y, and Z at risk, can we reclassify this, or reissue a tearline of the report for your records that doesn't reveal as much risk?" But the government chose a different path.
If Trump regains the presidency, I hope he has a great Attorney General. Although, the senate may not allow him to have a great AG.
Nora O’Donnell. A vacuous airhead, pretty but sickening like poison ivy.
Lies like a Kamala Harris mattress.
Obviously they needed the passports to establish the dates Trump went to Russia to organize the theft of the 2016 election and the Hunter Biden disinformation campaign. The walls are closing in on Trump. This is the tipping point. It’s over.
My prediction:
Gloves are off. This is going to be the single most vicious presidential campaign in American history.
The communist party has kicked it off by raiding a candidates home to gather evidence to fabricate a crime.
Any democrat rally will now be ground zero. No democrat will be able to show their face in public without being verbally excoriated.
I suggest hammer and sickle placards front and center at all Biden public events, including the first communist lady.
