Merrick Garland has done nothing to reassure Americans that the raid of Mar-a-Lago was warranted. Why isn’t he at least doing that since he won’t release the affidavit? Professor Turley says Garland isn’t offering even modest steps to show that he is not politically motivated. The warrant is extremely broad, but Garland won’t say anything to alleviate people’s fears. That shocked Professor Turley.
Could it be that Merrick Garland doesn’t care what we think?
The DOJ is “leaking like a sieve,” Turley said, but they won’t openly let the target or the public know directly.
That’s not strange at all.
The target of these investigations, Donald Trump, is asking for it to be released, which is unusual.
The DOJ claimed nuclear information was in Trump’s storage room, but it took weeks to issue the warrant.
Does not compute.
Professor Turley said Presidents have claimed and used the authority to declassify documents unilaterally, but it has never been tested legally. The President is viewed as having this authority, and a case against that would be very difficult, Turley says. That’s especially true since Donald Trump was cooperating with the DOJ.
This is a blatant witch hunt and fishing expedition. Lavrentiy Beria would only dream of such freedom to be this corrupt.
Bilary Clinton’s theft and deviousness, BiLewinsky Clinton hiding audio tapes in a sock drawer while in office, Obama’s theft of zillions of docs, Jimmy Carter’s “forgetting” nuclear codes in a suit sent to the cleaners…..none worthy of an FBI “raid”. The very-losing democrats looking for somethin-somethin to incriminate Trump and finding nothing, are left with their limp diks in their… Read more »
The Raid was for President Trump’s Attorney-Client Materials so the Government would have inside information in Court. The DoJ is ignoring the fact that they Stole this material.
Turley has been led into reality by the obvious situation. The DOJ as a predatory agency, incredibly corrupt and exposed, has been leaking a lot since 2017. They stay off the record, because when they are on the record, they lose. Examples of their incredible failures are the Mueller frame operation and the Flynn trial. We see the usual PR… Read more »
The President has plenary powers.
