Earlier this afternoon President Donald Trump revealed yet another shocking piece of information related to the FBI’s raid of his private residence in Mar-a-Lago. Sharing in a post written on Truth Social President Trump notes, “In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else. This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country. Third World!”
The unprecedented DOJ and FBI assault against President Trump continues. President Trump gave an interview to Fox News to discuss:
(Via FOX) – […] In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on Monday morning, his first since the raid, Trump said he had his representatives reach out to the Justice Department to offer to help amid outrage over the FBI’s unprecedented raid on his private residence last week, in which agents seized classified records, including some marked as top secret. Trump is disputing the classification of those records, saying the records have been declassified.
“The country is in a very dangerous position. There is tremendous anger, like I’ve never seen before, over all of the scams, and this new one — years of scams and witch hunts, and now this,” Trump said.
“If there is anything we can do to help, I, and my people, would certainly be willing to do that,” Trump said.
“There has never been a time like this where law enforcement has been used to break into the house of a former president of the United States, and there is tremendous anger in the country — at a level that has never been seen before, other than during very perilous times,” Trump said.
Trump told Fox News that his team “has not heard yet” from the Justice Department on whether they will accept his offer for help.
“I think they would want the same thing — I’ve never seen anything like this,” Trump said. “It is a very dangerous time for our country.”
He added: “I will do whatever I can to help the country.”
Trump, reflecting on the “years of fake witch hunts and phony Russia, Russia, Russia schemes and scams,” said that “nothing happens to those people who perpetuate that — nothing happens with them.” (read more)

This is what THEY are AFRAID of:
Surprised that the youngun’s feel so strongly in Trump’s favor; disappointed in the older.
This is a passport. It does not look like a classified document.
.
Or an unclassified “presidential record”.

Wouldn’t they need a judicial order to seize a passport or is that in a “secret” sealed judicial order as well?
Looking forward to when Flyover Country cuts off the west and east coasts of deliveries.
The GOPe is in on this so do not expect any help from them. These cowards should be shunned by their States.
Agreed. But the Inland cities would probably give up first. They start out almost 100% surrounded by population that is not friendly to their type of governance, if you can call it that with crime running wild in the streets.
Be especially careful if you are in Arkansas. Assa Hutchinson has become a very, very suspicious character. Watch your polling places carefully, and follow the ballots.
Ditto Georgia. Remember who signed the contracts with Dominion to “count” our votes. Stacey Abrams may have made one correct statement in her bloviating career to date, when she accused Kemp of stealing the governor’s office from her. Knowing what we do now, I’d give her argument a serious listen.
Give. Me. A. Break.
Abrams lost, just as the other democrats on that ballot lost. Georgia is a red state. He bullcrap lawsuits, lefty judge Amy Totenberg and the democrat in a RINO suit Raffensperger put the structures in place to steal 2020. Who knows what’s coming in 2022.
Today I volunteered to be a poll watcher.
Suggest you do the same.
Its time to get personally involved.
Better yet, become a poll worker and be an insider.
Be sure to watch the algorithms in the machines as well. Good luck with that.
Tomorrow Is Tuesday.
Liz Chaney day.
Anyone wanna guess how badly she’s gonna lose by?
Depends on how much the Dick cheats to keep the princess in office.
By 30% is my prediction.
just lose the order, they don’t have all day. Of course you tell them after they have waited for 30 min.
…or 30 days. Offer them the option of coming to get it if they really want it.
Inter arma enim silent leges
Marcus Tullius Cicero
“Among weapons, Laws are silent.”
Cicero’s original word order was Silent enim leges inter arma, which style emphasizes the words “silent” (are silent) and “arma” (weapons).
“Enim” is a conjunction meaning “You see” or “For” followed by an explanation.
See Section IV. of the oration Pro Milone.
Good points, but I would put it as “Silent are laws amidst arms”. That actually is now the FBI motto.
It is good that we know it, but it is the FBI that thinks it’s a good thing of itself.
“In times of war, the law is silent”. Another vaild translation IMO.
However….during Cicero’s days everyone had a sword, knife or arrow….the ability and the fierceness to fight was just as much about one’s person as much as one’s ability. Such close hand to hand combat was dependent on the individual to get up close and personal. Difficult job to do.
Today’s weapons are much less close and personal….the government is not personal and will use their tools as they deem fit.
we will have to be impersonal as well.
Where else in the internet can you find a Latin scholar to bring this level
of discourse, except for here on the Treehouse?
Blessings Ausonius.
Many thanks for the kind comments!
I recommend Cicero’s speeches: in a translation one will detect only hints of the original’s subtle stylistic elements, but one should see the marvelously logical argumentation in them.
When one compares the style of writing and speaking of Cicero and company with the twaddling, meandering, and simply embarrassing stultiloquence of most of today’s politicians, the latter condemns the education, politics, and taste of our day.
“Laws are silent in times of war”
He who has the weapons makes the laws.

New definition of LGBTQ coming to include Beastiality. B-squared stands for bisexual and beastiality as 2 gay men in France are proud to be the catalyst for infecting their dog with Monkeypox. I just read this. True????
Yup and it was a greyhound….so they didn’t have to get on their knees like they would with a beagle.
Italian Greyhound. One of my favorite breeds. They’re quite small. Smaller than a whippet.
It sleeps in their bed and that’s enough to transmit. Telling myself- and praying! that they didn’t violate this poor pup.
Don’t be naive. That’s one reason we are where we are today.
Sweet disposition on these pups.
PETA and the Humane Society will be issuing statements of outrage and condemnation any time now……am I right?
Off-Species.
I mean Topic.
I’m going to be ill. I feel so sorry for that poor dog.
Thus us about President Trumps stolen passports!! No?
Oops! This is….
why would Trump have his passports in with govt papers & not in the safe,which they said was empty.i’ll wait a few days.
They raided his private office, bedrooms, etc too.
He probably had his passports in his office desk, the way people do IN THEIR PRIVATE HOMES.
Uh no! If you don’t have your passport locked up, El stupido!
Before long they will have the entire alphabet included in their perverted acronym.
I don’t care. I am voting for DJT no matter what, even if I have to write him in. He could run as an Independent or even a Libertarian (if they’ll have him). That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
I was rather astounded that Michael Reagan, the late president’s son, who is no great fan of President Trump, although he says he voted for him despite his “harsh personality,” wrote in his Sunday column that this raid was the last straw. His outrage was palpable.
For him now, there are no other candidates to be considered for 2024 except President Trump!
We welcome Mr. Reagan’s enthusiasm, be it ever so late!
Trust but verify, he listed to his pop amidst his skepticism
Isn’t all of this nonsense going to end up in the Supreme Court? Is the Supreme Court really going to vote 5-4 that President Trump is guilty of crimes so heinous that he is not permitted to run for President?
Perhaps DeSantis will pardon President Trump if he doesn’t cause any more trouble
I am assumig sarcasm?
Assuredly.
There is very little that can be counted on. Two or three justices might be in cells with the January 6th crowd by then.
That’s the reason the J6 committee started going after Ginni Thomas.
It was in preparation to force Justice Thomas to recuse himself from a case involving PDJT.
Hadn’t considered that; it does make sense, though I don’t think Justice Thomas will fall for that ploy.
Didn’t think of that.
If liz Cheney loses tomorrow, will she be appointed to pack the Supreme Court?
The verdict to be announced 2029. Or so….
To protect the ongoing corruption.
Maybe there is no FBI raid homework. They plan to create the homework after they see what they seized.
Yup…..they have to go through the material collected to create the crime they seek.
Funny that the SCROTUM remains silent. Maybe they have to so as not have to recuse themselves if and when PDJT cases arrive there. Shame the Chief Testicle did not act on the earlier cases re the cheating. Now, when they dispatch the former president, the mob will be coming for them. Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch–will be impeached. Clarence Thomas–impeached. CT Roberts–likely impeached. Book it.
I fear they will try to do something more permanent to Justice Thomas.
Read the end of this article; very, very interesting…then read the article if you have not seen it in total.

Don’t forget to cast your vote for desantis, folks. Sheesh
A quick search on desantis should tell it all. Try it –

NOT ONE MORE DIME SPENT ON THEIR PRODUCTS!
Well, our family has not watched a single minute of Fox or read a single article by Fox since they interfered in the election.
Yet, I couldn’t count the number of commenters on CTH who refer to something they’ve watched or read there. I thought most MAGA folks swore off Fox. Seems like they’ve forgotten so soon.
Agreed,
Like you Fox became dead to us.
To each their own though!
Can I guess that Hunter Biden still has his passport? It wouldn’t surprise me if he had been given a diplomatic passport.
The pay-back is really going to hurt! Gonna have to load up on popcorn. Lots of heads are gonna roll, I doubt if Trump gains office anyone involved in this debacle is going to be sweating bullets. I’m very concerned for Trump Family’s safety! These Lefties can run, but they can’t hide!
Never forget that David Plouffe tweet that it’s not enough that Trump be defeated, that he “must be crushed.”
These people are evil.

Good timing with that article today in the Atlantic that the rosary is the newest symbol of “violent Christian extremism”. The funniest part of the article is that a whole lot of it is accurate, although they don’t recognize it. The rosary IS a powerful weapon.
1571.
Her conclusion that Democraps might be in danger (also) from this is a fallacy. There is never any retribution. And all the huffing / puffing that is going on now from the Repubs will result in endless investigations (so they can hide the evidence) and strongly worded letters. Until the perpetrators are arrested and bankrupted, nothing will change.
THIS LITTLE WORM…..!
Trump said awhile ago that he got them all, wonder where this will lead to? Lots of German Nazi’s ran and tried to hide in S. America. Didn’t work out too well for them! All debts are paid, there’s a heck of a lot of debts going to see justice. The gloves will come off.
I am expecting any day now to hear of FBI aircraft attacking Pearl Harbor.
Don Surber strikes again!
Must read; good info included.
https://donsurber.blogspot.com/2022/08/rico-suave.html
Thanks for the link abi. In the remarks some poster advised that if rico lawsuit then his attorneys have all of the info that was taken from Mara Logo.
So it’s really about the claim of ongoing investigation and blacked out/declassified documents by the doj in a court proceeding.
Can you imagine if the US public was afforded all of the blacked out info on everything ever ?
The hags server was open source/hackable to the rest of the world then it’s the US people that are being kept in the dark.
Confiscating PT’s passports is in support of the narrative the Dems have been keeping their lunatic base stoked on for over six years – “We’ve got his passports! He can’t flee the country! It’s all over, unless you stay home and let the Republicans take over the House and Senate in the Midterms!”
They will arrest him. They are totally above the law. He wanted to drain the swamp. They want to make sure no one ever tries to drain it again.
They want a conviction. Another acquittal won’t do.
President Trump should do a police report! Report the passports as being stolen by the f 🐝 👁. Details if when,where and how! So the passport agency knows!!
My favorite teacher 😉
Used the term Occam’s Razor years ago.
My thought right now-
The FBI and DOJ ” own” Biden. They have Hunters laptop. They have had it since before the election. They have had physical custody of the laptop.
BLACKMAIL
J Edgar Hoover would be proud 👏 of them. He was well known for his Blackmailing of politicians.
Nothing has changed with the FBI. They have only gotten worse – the DOJ has joined in their corruption. Why is everyone so shocked at their behavior now?
FBI probably has dirt on most of the politicians in DC. If they don’t have dirt on them- they start fabricating the day they are sworn in. And the longer they are in office the more dirt they have. The silence of politicians in the Election steal, J6 and this most recent raid is a “tell” for me.
Same with media figures pushing the lies. What dirt do they have on them?
The FBI has never been able to find dirt on President Trump.
Their prior attempt with the Russian Hoax backfired.
It’s horrible when that mask falls down even further and Reality smacks me once again in the face.
I have followed a narrative that China owns Biden.
No, I now believe the FBI and DOJ “own” Biden. In fact they probably “own” the majority of DC.
My teacher also frequently uses the term–look Squirrel…and ask the right f’n questions! 😉
The FBI and DOJ joined together to get Hillary Clinton into the Oval Office.
They have “owned ” her since Vince Foster.
Their mutual working relationship was probably formed then.
I believe calls to defund the FBI and who does not support it will be a another”tell”. I am concentrating on that.
Cut the head off the swamp snake.
The FBI should be defunded, the main building razed to the ground. And then salt the ground. Evil lived there monument erected.
Ok enough of my rant.
Was your teacher named SD?
😉
I think ownership runs the opposite direction. Hillary got the FBI records when she was first lady. They didn’t get hers.
And I don’t know how that happened, but we should remember that there were credible accusations around that Bill was CIA.
The ones that started out with the most license to use dirty tricks, are the ones with the advantage in office politics.
I base it on…
They helped her cover up Vince Foster murder.
Then would not be surprised if she fed them blackmail information on other politicians. Insider information only she would be privy to.
Mutual working relationship.
The FBI/DOJ were working to get her elected during the Russian Hoax.
Or were they working for her?
And are they still working for her now?
“the FBI’s raid of his private residence in Mar-a-Lago”
the American F Gestapo’s home invasion of his private residence in Mar-a-Lago
Curious to see which legal mind in our nation steps up and assists not only President Trump through this maze, but ultimately the American people and our reliance on the rule of law.
Surely our nation has someone who will be stepping forward electrifying, charismatic and smart enough to be the one to lead the charge for holding our government to task.
I am desperately hoping Robert Barnes will step up.
Is that the lawyer that young Rittenhouse fired after learning he (the lawyer) was using Rittenhouse’s situation and keeping the young man in jail while the attorney raised money on the back of his supposed client? Can’t remember the name but know it was some internet attorney using that kid to grift off of.
No, that was Lin Wood, and I’m not sure that the story was quite accurate. I don’t think Rittenhouse was lying, though, maybe just misunderstanding how the financial part of settlements work.
Did they take his passport because they feared he’d leave the country?
they took it because PDJT added it to the boxes so he could comment about it later. to point out their warrant wasnt specific and they just grabbed everything
hope that helps (reality tv star can mind play very well)
Hope that’s true. It might have been in his desk drawer too, since his office was also raided.
I am tired of Trump abuse, really tired of it.
When they abuse President Trump, they are abusing all of us.
…and thats a major point. Stand strong!
Well said rvsueandcrew.
Say that Trump got aboard his own B777 and flew it to Europe. And deplaned. Visited whomever, then reboarded and flew back to FL. What would Milley do? Shoot him out of the sky?
I wonder if passports are even a “thing” when a billionaire with great global respect and cred flies his own aircraft across our borders.
they arent a thing.
thats why PDJT planted them in the boxes to point out the warrant wasnt specific – and they just grabbed everything WITHOOUT EVEN LOOKING before they left.
Trump must have lots of gold and silver bars stored at Mar-a-Largo, did the rats confiscate those too?
More likely in a Singapore vault…
I thought Trump left those with you?
Every member of the US Military should walk off r the job. Whatever their job is. What happened to the oath they all took about domestic enemies? Don’t the understand that the FBI/DOJ/Biden are Gestapo? And they don’t defend the nation at its border What the hell good are they.?
economy
thats why it was reduced. to make peopel more concerned with a check than INTEGRITY
this is simple Game theory. they are doing it perfect.
we will be cold and hungry soon.
Actually, they are not that good. They are more political now as opposed to being warriors. Just look at who is in charge. Look how many officers were sacked under Obama. Look how many trained folks were released because of the vaccine. Most importantly, look how few Americans now want to join. The military has serious recruitment deficits.
I wonder how many of those “threats ” were made by Agents of the FBI?
How many badges have been turned in by those close to retirement that have been trying to hang in there –for just another 6 months.
I wonder how the morale is within the FBI.
I know I wouldn’t want to work there. They are probably telling people that they work at the city dump instead of saying they work at the FBI.
City dump is a lot more honorable than the FBI.
Our president is a very smart man. I seriously doubt that he would leave Mar-a-Lago for that length of time without taking his current passports with him. Maybe they had been in the safe that was found empty. They probably got old ones. Especially if he anticipated this raid.
Question for my fellow Treepers. If our VSGPDJT’s attorneys have all the declassified documents we think they do, what would happen if they just say “Eff it” and release them? There already is no rule of law. What is the injustice department going to do when exposed as complicit in the illegal acts against VSGPDJT?
There is nothing stopping President Trump from doing just that. And he should release at least one big item now. But he won’t. He refuses to take anything anyone does to him personally. And that’s why he won’t go after anyone. Major frustration for me.
I’m not the biggest world traveler so please excuse my ignorance but why would Trump have two valid passports (if 1/3 is expired)?
Never mind. Just found my answer on page 1 of comments. 🙂
There’s only one reason to seize passports. They want to create some more “beach friends” episodes accusing PDJT of rape, etc., and they need to know where he’s been to do that.
That or a preemptive move in support of an assertion that he is a flight risk.
Being Reported Elsewhere That DOJ Is Denying They Have The Passports.
More desperate damage control and lies from Garland’s Goon Squad is my guess.
Update: The DOJ claimed Monday evening that it was not in possession of Trump’s passports:
Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich pushed back:
Next news, not only they stole PDJT passports and raided Melania’s panties next maybe even her diamonds? Are they these deprave?
As Breitbart News reported earlier Monday, former President Trump announced on Truth Social: “In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else. This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country. Third World!”
The unusual — and perhaps accidental — taking of Trump’s passports could mean that the Department of Justice (DOJ) would be unable to use at least some of the materials seized in the the raid in any prosecution of the former president. Already, it has risked violating his Sixth Amendment rights by seizing materials that may including privileged attorney-client communications, which are meant to be shielded from investigations.
The Fourth Amendment reads:
Typically, an individual’s passport would not be subject to seizure unless there were reason to believe he or she was a flight risk. An order authorizing the seizure of a passport would have to be approved by a court in most circumstances.
The search warrant under which FBI agents conducted the raid, with the approval of Attorney General Merrick Garland, does not list Trump’s passports as within the scope of the search; nor does it list the passports in the property register of seized items.
Did they take Melania and Baron’s passports too?
Were the passports taken incidentally during the general warrant seizure of everything, or were they taken due to a court order?
Whom wrote the concocted affidavit that under-lied a search?
Oh, that anti-4th Amendment warrant?
Grab anything you can fit inside some 12″ X 18″ boxes.
THAT warrant?
So, they really stole the passports? What a bunch of criminals.
That’s very interesting. It demonstrates the general warrant nature of the raid.
The only reason they would have returned them is cuz he brought
attention to it..did they really think they would sneak into
Mar-a-Lago spend hours there, rummage thru everything
take stuff…and POTUS wouldn’t say anything?
You are supposed to be able to observe the search, they barred anyone from observing the search. It’s reported they’ve taken the security video. Was “evidence” planted? It’s not unreasonable to suspect evidence was planted. The DOJ/FBI has fabricated evidence and lied to courts in order to frame Trump.
