Some good questions about what was done in the raid (and not done)

Just how dumb are Republican leaders today locked in by educationally challenged grassroots Republicans to support a complete fool, the former President?

Or, still another lesson in the axiom, "be careful what you wish for."

Following the FBI search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, leading Republicans rose up in support of the party's leader and demanded the DOJ explain its reasons for the warrant. In view of the disclosures by the Jan. 6 committee before a nationally televised audience, that in itself was not a wise move.

Even Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, normally an extremely savvy politician, fell victim to the foolish Republican hoopla.

"The country deserves a thorough and immediate explanation of what led to the events of Monday," McConnell said in a statement. "Attorney General Garland and the Department of Justice should already have provided answers to the American people and must do so immediately."

Well, Garland called their bluff. He is going to do exactly what McConnell asked, much to the chagrin of leading Republicans like McConnell.

Trump declared his home was, “under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,”

Trump can't help himself. That entire statement is a lie meant for his uninformed followers who believe everything he says while paying him to say it.

In any case, Garland called Trump's bluff, too.

Keep something in mind. The FBI search of Trump's home was four days ago. Trump has a copy of the warrant and a receipt for all the items removed from his home. Trump could have made all that public, just what Republicans and McConnell wanted.

Trump did not want the warrant and the receipt made public!

Politico reports, "The Justice Department moved on Thursday to unseal portions of the search warrant executed at the Mar-a-Lago estate of former President Donald Trump earlier this week."

“The public’s clear and powerful interest in understanding what occurred under these circumstances weighs heavily in favor of unsealing,” prosecutors revealed in a court filing connected to the search warrant.

Just how dumb are today's Republicans?
Yeah, the republicans are really dumb....they think the rule of law should be applied equally, and not party affiliation. :rolleyes-41:
 
CNN reports, "The FBI search at Mar-a-Lago this week came months after federal investigators served an earlier grand jury subpoena and took away sensitive national security documents from former President Donald Trump’s property during a June meeting.

"Investigators executed Monday’s search in part because they had developed evidence, including from at least one witness, that there were potentially classified documents still remaining at the Palm Beach, Florida, property months after the National Archives arranged for the retrieval of 15 boxes of documents that included classified information in January of this year."

The most immediate question is this. Why are we learning this now?

It is standard procedure for the DOJ to remain silent about an ongoing investigation to protect the parties being investigated.

Within hours of his home being searched Monday -- Trump was in New York busily involved in an investigation there -- Trump yelled foul and claimed his home was being occupied by the FBI.

What about the FBI search in June? Why wasn't he yelling Gestapo then?

The answer is quite simple. He didn't want the public to know anything about the FBI search in June.

If hadn't opened his big mouth Monday and the days following, we wouldn't know about Monday's search. The DOJ would have kept quiet about it, just as they did in June as per procedure. Trump blabbed Monday evening. The cat was out of the bag, and all hell broke loose.

Which is why the DOJ keeps investigations under wraps until some decision about the case is made.

As can be seen above, Republicans now regret Trump's enormous stupidity.
 
you are misinformed.

How can you let those lying bastards in the Party of Baby killing (married to msm) lie to you so much?

If he had taken Top Secret documents 2 or 3 months ago as u claim... they would have POUNCED gleefully a long time ago (at the same time they discovered it).

get outa here already

Unless they just found out about them.
 
Trump could be a saint if he were to just file down some of his rough edges.. Jesus said He came into the world to testify to the truth and Trump tells the truth, listens to the truth of his advisors, tries to promote the truth

so he's got that part of being saintly right.

he can't change the past, so he'll never be able to please dimrats but some of us are also sinners so we don't find it hard to forgive him...

the baby killers among us, & the ones who want all manner of strangers and thugs to enter our country (without even being checked for covid even), well, they are better than Trump so they don't forgive him

Translation - Trump hates gays and Mexicans, just like Jesus did, so we love him. No matter what he is caught doing.
 
Its obvious. The J6 Commission has nothing the DOJ can act on, so the document search is a pretext for a generic search for any J6 related evidence.
There is no indictment for "withholding documents".
Sandy Berger got his security clearance back after being caught red-handed stealing classified documents.
Democrats do what democrats do. Use the FBI to help their election chances and maybe disqualify Trump.
J6 and the documents at MaL are two separate questions. Talking about what others may or may not have done is just childish finger pointing and an attempt at avoiding personal responsibility from the supposed party of personal responsibility!
 
Maybe you haven't heard, but the cameras weren't turned off at MAL during the "search".
This, like all the right wing statements regarding the search, didn’t age well.

It is quite appropriate to point out how the FBI permitted worse behavior from Hillary, and how the FBI has been weaponized against Trump, to point out the double standards and hypocrisy of Democrats.
