The department claimed that unsealing the affidavit would compromise the investigation because it would provide a “roadmap to the government’s ongoing investigation” and expose “specific details about its direction and likely course.”

[xzins]

We always knew this would happen

[Parley Baer]

Looks like the DOJ has now thrown transparency out the window. after it said it would be transparent.

[circlecity]

Cover up

[qaz123]

The affidavit is EVERYTHING.

What crime they accuse him of committing. The evidence they hope to find.

At this point, under FOIA rules, his lawyers have the right to request any files pertaining to any criminal investigation pertaining to the man. If there is none, then no warrant shall be issued.

Maybe they have it all. I’m thinking this is another example of the Keystone Cops that run the FBI and their willing servants.

[DannyTN]

It’s transparent they were lying.

[Starboard]

LOL! Good one.

[no-to-illegals]

lamestream media, democrats and rinos cannot and will not tell the truth even if affidavit is released …… Lies are all the lamestream, democrats and rinos have

[GraceG]

This is because the RAID was an excuse to bury the crossfire hurricane docs...

[Sarah Barracuda]

They wont release it til they are done leaking everything to their commie buddies in the media..than when they indict, no one will give a crap about the affidavit

[fruser1]

Stasi is as stasi does.

I’ve heard stories that after WWII, the US hired nazi scientists to pick up on handy folks to work for us.

So, when the Berlin wall fell, how many then unemployed stasi agents were recruited into the fbi?

[PGR88]

pure KGB

[Howie66]

Well....no shit!

[9422WMR]

Fishing expedition, nothing else.

[silent majority rising]

Does anyone have an idea as to how you can force the DOJ into court to defend themselves, and even reverse the illegal search and seizure that happened?

DOJ Asks Judge to Keep Affidavit for Search Warrant Used Against President Trump Sealed from Public Review

August 15, 2022 | Sundance | 28 Comments

If the search warrant affidavit was revealed to the public, the DOJ Lawfare tribe targeting Trump – within the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD), could not keep the benefit of selective leaks to their media stenographers.  It would be more difficult to frame the narrative.  [DOJ Filing pdf HERE]

WASHINGTON DC – “If disclosed, the affidavit would serve as a roadmap to the government’s ongoing investigation, providing specific details about its direction and likely course, in a manner that is highly likely to compromise future investigative steps,” U.S. Attorney Juan Gonzalez and Justice Department counterintelligence chief Jay Bratt said in a filing urging the continued secrecy of the affidavit.

“The fact that this investigation implicates highly classified materials further underscores the need to protect the integrity of the investigation and exacerbates the potential for harm if information is disclosed to the public prematurely or improperly,” the DOJ officials wrote.

On Thursday August 11th, Attorney General Merrick Garland said the justice department was committed to transparency in order to retain their integrity with the American public.  On Monday August 15th, Attorney General Garland asked the court to keep the records sealed.   The six-year pattern continues….

if they are so confident of themselves, then they should have nothing to hide— unless they are guilty of something.

is the fbi guilty of something?

[NWFree]

It would provide a roadmap to the government’s corruption.

That’s what they really meant to say 😏

[TigersEye]

Meanwhile the leftists are on every platform screaming that Donald Trump should release all of the subpoena/warrant/affadavit information immediately or it proves he’s guilty.

Guilty of what no one will say.

[americas.best.days...]

How’s everyone enjoying their stay in East Germany so far??

[libertylover]

Obviously, they don’t want the truth to leak out.
