They are claiming the DOJ is operating independently but everyone knows differently.

If I had a theory it would just be speculation. Speculation isn't worth anything. For something that may be important like this, I'd like to see the source documents.



The government is the only reason you haven't. Not Trump.

You're dealing with a corrupt federal government. Playing your hand too early gives them time to cook up lies in response.


Sure, but the federal govt knows that they have both the warrant and the security footage.

I agree there's no reason to release it, but it's not an arrow in their quiver to hang onto it.

Don’t understand why Trumps people won’t release warrant or security footage if it is what they are claiming… Unless we’re in 6D chess mode.


I’m not sure I would, honestly.

This has been such a disaster for the DOJ, FBI, and Dems, why interrupt them?

Play your cards close to the vest. If they could have arrested him for something, they would have many times over by now. Let them continue to destroy America’s trust in them, Trump has a campaign to run and an election to win.

If the FBI agents did anything wrong during the raid, they certainly aren't going to tell their superiors that. Why let them get ahead of their impropriety?

The idea that they didn't get a warrant is pretty silly and I don't know where it spread from.


It came from Trump’s lawyer.
The FBI has not refuted that point yet.

AG Garland said he had no knowledge of this and that he left these decisions to be made to lower level agents?



This is a lie. No leadership at the lower level would be willing to go rogue and do this on their own without telling their higher ups. Absolute BS.

Fox said that he's going to speak for 5 minutes and there will be no questions.


Zero surprise in that.

Trump should just release a copy of the search warrant and the inventory of what was taken. No one who loves Trump will turn on him and we will all get the accurate story.


The affidavit of probable cause was sealed. So the warrant won’t reveal much. What has been revealed is that the FBI stated they based their affidavit upon information from an informant. That informant told them Trump was keeping classified documents in his safe. The FBI stated post raid that there was nothing in the safe that was of interest to them.

That means the warrant was obtained using fraudulent information. Sound familiar?

Yet you put the onus on Trump to prove his innocence. That’s insane.

On the government side, the warrant is still under seal, although there is an action filed by the press to unseal the warrant. I don't think Trump is bound by the seal order, though.

Watching Baier on Fox, yeah I know, but he’s questioning the hell out of this raid. They are saying no one at the top seems to know anything about this raid, not the AG, not the President, etc. they are just waiting for someone to clear this up, but there seems to be NO leadership at the top…. Which we already know…

WH is playing so dumb-they didn't even know Garland was speaking my arse.

Bret actually saying that the world is watching and we look like idiots. Some dem guy said this should have never happened it is WRONG.

Garland to speak for 5 minutes no questions.

SHOCKER.
