you are aware the probable cause affidavit was sealed. Oh you weren’t aware of that? Color me shocked you were ignorant to that fact.
Barry, what is the reason for sealing the affidavit, normally?

Most warrants I have seen have the affidavit attached. I would presume that excluding it is unusual.

No clue. It is unusual. That’s a question for the judge who signed it. Instead these radicals decide to blame trump and use it as some sort of evidence of wrongdoing. This whole thing is so shady.

Another highly unusual action is the FBI barred Trump’s attorney from being in the building when they conducted the raid. Everyone is demanding transparency from trump but the fbi obtained a warrant with all the supporting info sealed, then searched the house and barred counsel from being present. Yet idiots on here think trump is the one Trying to hide something.

Aren't warrants typically subject to public records requests?

There isn't a Democrat Politician in History that could withstand the scrutiny Trump has faced.

Sure. The basis for the warrant is generally attached to the warrant as well. The warrant itself is simply the order signed by a judge granting permission to conduct a search. The basis for that search and the explanation of what is being looked for and the alleged probable cause are in an affidavit that is usually attached to the warrant. That was sealed by the judge and not attached.

Literally the only thing trump has a copy of is the order. They didn’t let him know what the affidavit said. They also prohibited his attorneys from witnessing the search. Trumps team has no idea what was being searched for. Both extremely rare things to have happen

Yet here you are saying trump isn’t being transparent and is guilty of “something”.

That struck me as odd, too, and I mentioned it elsewhere. I don’t see how LEO can bar anyone from presence on property not owned by the agency, unless the warrant specifically allows exclusion.

Is that a California thing? The warrants I have seen DO include the boldface on the warrant itself, with the affidavit as an attachment.

Agreed. Trump’s attorneys stated there were 3 DOJ attorneys who originally refused to even show them the warrant. Then after a few hours let them read it, but still maintained they didn’t have to leave a copy. They must have left one eventually, but the DOJ acted very unusually. And sealing the affidavit is very strange.

He's hiding the warrant that spells out why they searched his residence. The reason he's not releasing the text is because it does nothing to help his cause. It sure makes me wonder what it could say that Trump doesn't want the public to see.


That isn’t you presuming his guilt, right? Don’t be obtuse. Everyone knows what you were saying.

You have no clue. But you really really hope it’s something.

That could be as simple as “documents”. The affidavit gives the explanation.

If I had been Trump’s attorney, I think I would have declined to leave the building, unless I was provided a signed Order excluding me. Arrested? Possibly, but the judge would have laughed as he ordered my release in a few hours, and I would be a celebrity.

My guess, and this is pure speculation, is that this raid was based upon a very weak affidavit that was referencing the documents the national archive requested and had been in talks with trumps team for months about. It was used as a way to get in and go on a fishing expedition. If that’s the case it is a disgusting weaponization of the DOJ against a political opponent.

Their only hope, in my opinion, is they “found” something damning. However, given their track record with trump they would have to authenticate the F out of anything they “find”.

Not consistent with what I have seen, but I am sure there are lots of regional variations.
