I've heard this since 2015. So far, it's gone pretty well for Trump.

Ultimately, we're gonna know what was in that warrant.

Garland didn’t answer the most important question, which was why a warrant as opposed to a subpoena.

They were there for 9 hrs.

excuse me. I'd like to hear more about this because if so, then the whole fricking exercise is illegal. but, of course, they did the same thing to the FISA court, so no biggie, right?


Newsweek report from yesterday citing “confidential high ranking government officials” who said that they had an informant and that the informant info was the basis of the affidavit. That the informant told them the docs were in the safe. Post raid, these same officials said there was nothing in the safe that was of interest.

Imagine you're wrong. What if Trump had access to technical specs for national defense equipment - and what if he were trying to sell it?

ETA: I hate the feds and think this was horseshite, but there's a "good faith" safe harbor for these things and the mere fact the informant relied upon was wrong would not make the search invalid.

Now, if the feds KNEW the informant was full of shite before they went to the judge for the warrant, that's another story.


But if they had specific information like that, and the warrant was "narrow in scope" like Merrick just lied, then the warrant would have specifically been for the safe.

I would if I was him. Garland wouldn’t have this press conference if they didn’t have something no matter how small.

So if Garland was gonna order it why can he just tell us what was in the warrant and affidavit? Must not look to good for DOJ?

And supposedly focused on three spaces: a bedroom, an office, the basement.

That’s a lot of time in Melania’s wardrobe!

Here’s my issue with all of this Trump knows what they were looking for. If he wanted, he could release the info and if it was in his best interest- he would do just that. Clearly it’s not in his best interest to do so. That’s not good. The other thing is- the Justice dept knew exactly what they wanted and must have had a real good idea where to find it. They could not afford to have egg on their face. I don’t see this ending well for Trump.




have you been under a rock the last 6 years?

They were beating their chests for years over Russia collusion and they didn’t have shite. Or how about the tape of trump dropping the N bomb? Sam Harris swore he had heard it and he’s a super duper honest intellectual.

This raid narrative fell apart in 24 hours and you think they got him now?

This isn’t about the raid. This is about baiting a violent response so garland can do what he’s been wanting to do.

He will be able to use the patriot act on all those “domestic terrorists” out there

Low-TBoy is a douche. He still thinks Russian Collusion was real and Hunter Biden's laptop was fake.

He's definitely got his indoctrination from DU.

Those that love Trump will always love Trump. Nothing he does, says or doesn't do or say matters. Anyone who proclaims Trump is finished is obviously on drugs. Even after he dies there will be a large number of people who will want him to run in the next election.

Seriously, have you met a liberal yet that is not 100% convinced that Trump is an arch-criminal, and just one more investigation will blow the case wide open? I havent.


In today's case of Future Proves Past, just 3 posts below this someone is purposing that possibly Trump had technical plans for military defense equipment that he was preparing to sell to terrorists or some other bad actor.

Prediction: it will be HIGHLY redacted.

correct.

what the warrant says will be important. if it was only to search the safe, then the 9 hours and multiple boxes is outside the scope (and would likely not be subject to "within view" exception)

The Clinton's, Obama and Biden have already sold this information to China.

We already know that: they produced a subpoena in April.
