Government Corruption
'Another Huge Red Flag in the Trump Raid Story
2022-08-13
BLUF:
[PJ] Well, Mr. Attorney General, if they’re so professional and full of integrity, can you explain why the Wall Street Journal apparently knows the contents of all the classified documents and supposedly "top secret" documents removed from Trump’s home and has apparently reviewed some of them?

"FBI agents who searched former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home Monday removed 11 sets of classified documents, including some marked as top secret and meant to be only available in special government facilities, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal," the outlet reported. "The Federal Bureau of Investigation agents took around 20 boxes of items, binders of photos, a handwritten note and the executive grant of clemency for Mr. Trump’s ally Roger Stone, a list of items removed from the property shows. Also included in the list was information about the ’President of France,’ according to the three-page list. The list is contained in a seven-page document that also includes the warrant to search the premises which was granted by a federal magistrate judge in Florida."

“Let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the FBI and Justice Department agents and prosecutors,” he said. “I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked. The men and women of the FBI and the Justice Department are dedicated patriotic public servants every day. They protect the American people from violent crime, terrorism and other threats to their safety while safeguarding our civil rights. They do so at great personal sacrifice and risk to themselves. I am honored to work alongside them.”

I'll say one thing for Merrick the Weasel. He has a lot of damn nerve.

#3  Hillary cannot claim, doesn't even bother to claim, that the documents on her bathroom email server were declassified.

#1  Hello all - this is deeply disturbing
I note that WSJ does not say it reviewed the classified docs but documents that claim the FBI seized such documents
A subtle but important difference
I cannot say whether or not Trump committed any crime but I can say that Hillary did the same thing when she improperly stored cassified intel on her private email server
Hillary was not prosecuted
And what of Huma Abedin and the Pakistani brothers who fled?
American laws need to be impartially and fairly applied
That is the terrible structural damage that has so obviously just been done
The whole world now sees a banana republic where political opponents of the democrats really are persecuted
I am not a fan of Trump, i far prefer Rand Paul, De Santia and Tulsi Gabbard

But this raid is an obvious disgace, an obvious politicisation of America’s law enorcement apparatus
