FBI Raid On Trump's Mar-A-Lago Had No Valid Legal Basis

Then WHY DIDNT HE RETURN ALL RECORDS WHEN HE WAS ASKED TO DO SO, A YEAR AND THREE MONTHS AGO?

WHY DID HE LIE IN June, swearing he returned all top secret documents?

He was NOT cooperating, ever. HE WAS STALLING. That's why he was subpoenaed, and then still all was not returned and they needed a search warrant.

HOW can you even remotely think, that was cooperating?
Because, like others before him, he said some were personal....they were working on seperating the two.

He didn't lie in June, you can't prove he did....he and the lawyers believed all was turned over.

If the NARA wanted them, they could have taken them in June...they didn't....they were happy working there going through the documents. They had a wonderful relationship....
 
Sure, their relationship was great! :rolleyes-41:

That's why NARA gave a criminal referral to the FBI on it!
Oh we know now, that was done on the orders directly from the Xiden WH, as a pretext to conduct the politically motivated raid.

Could you please give evidence of this?

This is what happens on Bullshit Mountain...
 
The Wall Street Journal lays out the reasoning as to why the FBI raid was illegal.

The Presidential Record Act (PRA) of 1978 (Link) grants former presidents complete access to all records created under their admin.

"The PRA explicitly guarantees a former president continuing access to his papers. Those papers must ultimately be made public, but in the meantime—unlike with all other government documents, which are available 24/7 to currently serving executive-branch officials—the PRA establishes restrictions on access to a former president’s records, including a five-year restriction on access applicable to everyone (including the sitting president, absent a showing of need), which can be extended until the records have been properly reviewed and processed. Before leaving office, a president can restrict access to certain materials for up to 12 years.

The only exceptions are for National Archives personnel working on the materials, judicial process, the incumbent president and Congress (in cases of established need) and the former president himself. PRA section 2205(3) specifically commands that “the Presidential records of a former President shall be available to such former President or the former President’s designated representative,” regardless of any of these restrictions.

Nothing in the PRA suggests that the former president’s physical custody of his records can be considered unlawful under the statutes on which the Mar-a-Lago warrant is based. Yet the statute’s text makes clear that Congress considered how certain criminal-law provisions would interact with the PRA: It provides that the archivist is not to make materials available to the former president’s designated representative “if that individual has been convicted of a crime relating to the review, retention, removal, or destruction of records of the Archives.”

In making a former president’s records available to him, the PRA doesn’t distinguish between materials that are and aren’t classified."


You really should have read the PRA before posting your nonsense:

"The PRA changed the legal ownership of the official records of the President from private to public"

 
Because, like others before him, he said some were personal....they were working on seperating the two.

He didn't lie in June, you can't prove he did....he and the lawyers believed all was turned over.

If the NARA wanted them, they could have taken them in June...they didn't....they were happy working there going through the documents. They had a wonderful relationship....

Trump held back the additional classified documents.

He's got some real dumbass lawyers.

 
There are now five major newspapers showing the Raid was illegal. The damn is breaking and the whistleblowers inside the FBI have outed the criminal conspiracy to get Trump AGAIN..... SO far 18 FBI agents have contacted congressmen to give their observations of this criminal conduct.

When we retake the house there is going to be a purge of these criminals.
Could we have those 5 newspapers with links...

By the way, that WSJ article was an opinion piece not journalism....

Another inhabitant of Bullshit mountain..
 
The PRA requires the President to ensure preservation of records documenting the performance of his official duties (44 U.S.C. § 2203(a)), provides for the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to take custody and control of the records (44 U.S.C. § 2203(g)), and sets forth a schedule of staged public access to such records (44 U.S.C. § 2204).

So the NARA has custody of the records, but the former president is given access to them. If the former president takes custody away from NARA, then its a violation, unless NARA releases them.
The NARA was in the process of obtaining the records and Trump had previously provided any records they wanted physical custody of, and he was cooperating.

If you read the WSJ opinion, they argue that there no definitive timeline for turning everything over. Additionally, the PRA says that not even the DOJ or Biden can have access to Trump's records without showing need. That's quite telling.

There was not probable cause for a raid, but maybe we'll see some lame reasoning in the affidavit once released.
 
The article is hogwash!

The presidential records are REQUIRED under law to be kept by the National Archives.

The former president has free access for the 5 years, before the public has access.

But the current president, and congress, and doj can access them during that 5 years, if there is a need. They can't get access, when in need, if Trump has them.

And under no condition, none, zip, zero....can a former president store TOP SECRET SCI national security compartmental documents at Mara Lago Resort, or anywhere outside of their secure place in the government safe.

The presidential records were never his records to take with him.

The presidential records act is CLEAR on that.....
And any and all access to those docs has to be with the approval of the NARA

Illegal Warrant, Illegal Affidavit, Illegal Search and Seizure.

Didn't The FBI also Illegally use FISA and file False and Illegal Affidavits to Illegally spy on The Trump Campaign on behalf of Obama and The Clinton Campaign?

Yes they did.
 
Could you please give evidence of this?

This is what happens on Bullshit Mountain...
Stupid fucks like you are what inspired "Brokeback Mountain".

Go eat a bag of dick you fuckin retard.

Just like every other asinine issue, bed wetting parasites demand "proof", then when video evidence is presented, they either slither away entirely or assert that it's fabricated.

So sick of these deliberately ignorant fucking worms.


.
 
They weren't classified.
Where is the written proof they were not classified... They had classified written on them...

If you want to say Trump magically made them unclassified then Biden magically made them classified again...

Documents were marked as classified..
 
Everyone knows it was signed off by Trump...

I have no proof either but that's the way in Bullshit Mountian..
No, it's been widely reported that Xiden signed off on it...and has been caught lying that he didn't know anything about it
