They Were After The Ratcliffe Docs Trump Declassified Regarding DOJ/FBI Targeting Of Trump 2016-2020
[ConservativeTreehouse] More details surfacing about the illicit, sketchy and highly political FBI raid on President Trump’s home are coming out. The federal agents sent by the DC political system refused to provide the search warrant and demanded all of the security cameras covering the compound be turned off as they conducted their raid.

Thankfully, and due to the suspicious nature of the FBI operatives involved, the Trump security team did not turn off the cameras. The Dept of Justice and FBI have yet to give a public statement supporting the predicate of their raid, as a result the transparent political motives have awakened an entire world to the reality of a corrupt USA deep state.

Based on prior statements outlined by Trump’s legal team, I suspect a different DOJ/FBI motive than is currently being discussed. First, the information from Eric Trump.

(Via Daily Mail) – Eric Trump revealed FBI agents refused to hand over the search warrant for their raid on Mar-a-Lago and kicked an attorney off the property in a new, incisive account of the Monday operation at the Florida estate.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, the former president’s son said the 30 agents who arrived at the property asked staff to turn security cameras off – but they refused.

He also said that the attorney was forced to stand at the end of the Mar-a-Lago driveway while the team searched inside – and allegedly used safe crackers to break into his father’s safe.

He called the raid another ‘coordinated attack’ on his father Donald Trump and insisted there is no way President Joe Biden was kept in the dark about the search.

The latest explosive account comes with the Department of Justice facing mounting pressure to explain what grounds they had for the search.

Eric said that his father’s lawyer Christina Bobb was forced to stand at the end of the Mar-a-Lago driveway throughout the raid.

‘There’s 30 agents there,’ he recalled of the Monday search in a phone call with DailyMail.com. ‘They told our lawyer… you have to leave the property right now. Turn off all security cameras.’

‘They would not give her the search warrant,’ he claimed. ‘So they showed it to her from about 10 feet away. They would not give her a copy of the search warrant.’

In earlier interviews with President Trump’s lawyers, it was noted that officials from the national archives (Washington DC) and team trump had already spent hours looking through the documents at the heart of the matter at the Mar-a-Lago estate. So, Washington DC officials already knew exactly what was in those boxes.

Stay with me….

Knowing the details of the DOJ and FBI targeting operations against Donald Trump as a candidate and president (2015-2020), I suspect Trump took some of the declassified (by him) evidence of that targeting with him.

We remind ourselves that since leaving office, former Office of the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, has stated on multiple occasions that there were documents he and Trump declassified for the Durham team and to be made public.

As Ratcliffe has noted, those declassified documents were never released. The DOJ/FBI have instead been hiding behind the Durham investigation as the justification for not releasing them, ie, ‘an ongoing investigation’, etc.

I am willing to bet the current documents at the heart of the controversy are copies of those same previously declassified documents that are against the interests of the current ODNI, DOJ and FBI to release.

The national archives are a false front, a general institutional tool for use in creating the optic/narrative of a valid reason for challenging President Trump over documents. The real motive of the DNI, DOJ and FBI are to get the evidence of the prior corrupt activity back in their total control. I am confident this is the real scenario that people are not discussing.

The DOJ and FBI are not only hiding the documents that former DNI Ratcliffe declassified and left for release, but they are also on a seek and capture mission for copies of those documents because they will never release them. This is also the Deep State motive to drag out the Durham investigation.

If the Durham investigation ended, and if the ODNI did not release the documents, then Trump would have justification for releasing those documents. The need for control is always a reaction to fear. What the DOJ and FBI fear is the content of those declassified documents.

This background would also explain why Donald Trump and his team are going to court to force the DOJ and FBI to release the details of the contents they confiscated. Forcing the DOJ/FBI to reveal the content of the documents they took is another way to force the Trump-targeting documents into the sunlight of the American public.

#1 Officials from the national archives (Washington DC) may have included clandestine FBI operative(s) aka mole. Perhaps the existence of other, not yet examined boxes led to the raid.

#4 Its smoke and they are all walking if back now. DOJ and FBI both pointing fingers at each other. It's a debacle almost perfectly timed to fester against the dems right up to November elections.

#7 If the documents have been declassified, there should be no reason that they were not scanned into a pdf version. Maybe we will all get to see them soon.

#8 The complex declassification miasma at the end of the Part 3 article explains in excruciating detail the trap the Deep State/DoJ/FBI have used to keep the final declassification from being completed. It is stunning in its complexity but essentially, even the Presidential Power seems stymied.

#12 Thomas Massie Exposes the DOJ's Intent Behind the Seizure of Scott Perry's Phone

the DOJ is looking for more kindling for the fires of this hot war. Getting access to Perry’s phone is an easy way to find more conservatives and freedom-adjacent individuals to target in order to continue the witch hunt. Now that the FBI has the phone, all that’s required is charting associations and connecting dots. It would take months, if not years, for the FBI to get this information legally and legitimately, so they game the system by using the weight of federal force, the government’s own goon squad. Then, when the information found on the phone is somehow leaked, they simply say, “Oops,” and plow forward in their campaign.

Commonly referred to as "Social Networking." This might inform the serious observer, with regard to the current electronic collection capabilities of the FBI. They may have 'shi* their nest' with regard to National Agency and Bi-Lateral assistance following their Trump Campaign monitoring.

I can hope... can't I ?

Hey there, Walking Unvaxxed! You are kindness itself, my dear. My sister was supposed to come visit today, a last hurrah before she dives into the new semester, so I saw very little of Rantburg today. There was a discussion of the Cincinnati idiot in another thread, so I added a local news link there. My sister was stuck for a couple of hours in the traffic jam on I-71 that resulted from the highway being shut down in both directions without warning... she finally turned around and went home, poor darling.
