Hillary’s attorney, who tries to defeat Republican candidates with legal challenges, explained today’s raid. He told the media that they are “missing the really, really big reason why the raid today is a potential blockbuster in American politics.”
The FBI raided Donald Trump’s residence and the club today to look for documents the government says are confidential. Until now, they’ve been dealing with Donald Trump’s lawyers for the return of the materials, which include letters, gifts, and mementos.
According to the New York Times, “The search, according to multiple people familiar with the investigation, appeared to be focused on material that Mr. Trump had brought with him to Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence when he left the White House. Those boxes contained many pages of classified documents, according to an [anonymous] person familiar with their contents.
“Mr. Trump delayed returning 15 boxes of material requested by officials with the National Archives for many months, only doing so when there became a threat of action to retrieve them.”
Elias suggests they were looking for those materials and will use that to claim he violated 18 US Code 2071.
Kash Patel said that while he served in a National Archives role, Donald Trump declassified the items in the boxes.

“Criminal codes, which carry jail time, target anyone who “willfully injures or commits any depredation against any property of the United States” and anyone who “willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates or destroys” government documents.
“Samuel R. Berger, a national security adviser to President Bill Clinton, pleaded guilty in 2015 to a misdemeanor charge for removing classified material from a government archive. In 2007, Donald Keyser, an Asia expert and former senior State Department official, was sentenced to prison after he confessed to keeping more than 3,000 sensitive documents — ranging from the classified to the top secret — in his basement.
“In 1999, the C.I.A. announced it had suspended the security clearance of its former director, John M. Deutch, after concluding that he had improperly handled national secrets on a desktop computer at his home.
“In January of this year, the archives retrieved 15 boxes that Mr. Trump took with him to Mar-a-Lago from the White House residence when his term ended. The boxes included material subject to the Presidential Records Act, which requires that all documents and records pertaining to official business be turned over to the archives.”
If his followers weren’t such a bunch of disorganized sucks they wouldn’t dare do this.
Oh…wait..you cant define a man or woman……little trap.
I thought this article was going to explain what the raid on Mar a Lago was about. Then the author explained a lot of nonsense about records and secret documents. The raid was about stopping Trump from running again. That’s it. Nothing else. Now that they’ve taken his property, they can claim to have found ANYTHING they like!
It’s always about J6 and getting Trump, but this explains another avenue they can pursue to arrest Donald Trump.
Someone in the FBI managed to get a Judge to believe that he had things he had no right to, and they were at Mar-a-Largo. We’ll see.My theory is they will plant evidence in what they seized, and then they will be screaming “we got him now”
It was said they were just grabbing everything and filling boxes, not culling through the stuff first. It’s a fishing expedition for sure…..I’m also sure Pres. Trump was more than prepared for this.
Democrats basically threw away the Nov. elections and possibly 2024. Trump was just declared the overwhelming choice at CPAC…..surely Democrats can’t be this stupid.
Assuming there was a warrant in the first place.
They didn’t need to “convince” a judge. There are plenty of crooked Leftists on the bench. They likely found a willing Democrat political activist judge.
Was this something Marc Elias cooked up? Seems a little too much “in the know”.
The USA effectively ended 1/6/2021.
Anyone that is a threat to the sinister democrat creeds are often targets. Democrats ALWAYS display their fear, cowardice, and manipulations by openly shivering and sweating comically under their pricey wigs and toupees.
I am so sick of the Democrat double standard that won’t send the FBI to raid the Clintons stack of classified and deleted emails, but it can send FBI to the houses of Republicans to make it look like they did something wrong. Enough of this crap.
What happened to the precedence set by Hillary Clinton that the Government Official and her Lawyers determine what is National Archive Materials? A President has Executive Privilege which goes all the way back to George Washington, but apparently that is only now for Democrat Officials. If the FBI returned empty handed than the Officials who swore out the Warrants need to go to jail. FBI Officials have a clear history of lying to courts. The Department of Justice has picked sides and Declared War on over 150 million Americans by verifying the U.S. Government is indeed a Banana Republic and the DoJ is Paramilitary Army against American Patriots.
Democrats have gone too far this time. There is a reason that People who work for the U.S. Government now lie about their employment. This will backfire on Democrats. Democrats have now made themselves targets of opportunity for public retribution at the Polls. Democrats will now lose the Independents. No one in their right mind declares themselves a Proud Democrat. I fear that Democrats will now see the public abuse that Democrats like Maxine Waters call for against Republicans. America First Republicans aren’t amused by this at all.
Since the Obama character was lurking in the white house touching everything belonging to the People, the FBI-DoJ has become known as the Department of Just-Us. They are the hollowing evil of dark figures operating for whomever pays them the most or issues the more elegant of promises, a shadow government within a shadow government.
So when does Nancy Pelosi get arrested for ripping up the State of the Union Address behind President Trump?
80 MILLION armed Americans…and they are putting up with this crap???Even if only 5% act decisively the Spirit of ’76 will be honoured…
