Earlier this afternoon on Truth Social, President Trump expanded his position on the FBI raid of his Mar-a-Lago home and announced an upcoming motion to the court for violations of his fourth amendment rights against unwarranted search and seizure. [LINK]
The easiest approach for President Trump’s legal team to take would be the generalized nature of the search warrant. The Fourth Amendment specifically prohibits the government using general warrants to search private belongings of individuals.
Fourth Amendment – “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
The warrant as issued:
I suspect the outcome here depends on the impetus for the raid. The higher up responsibility goes, the more likely it is whatever judge is unlucky enough to get this will end up destroying his reputation.
If it arose bc FBI/DOJ wanted to coverup their corruption, Trump might prevail.
If this came from the Clinton people who wanted intelligence to help defend the Trump law suit, its a toss up with a lean toward Trump losing.
If the raid originated with Congress, either to cover up uniparty involvement in russia collusion or as a means to impede a Trump run in 2024, Trump will lose.
Two things point to Congressional origin: 1/ the pure brazenness of the raid says those wanting it do not care about the law, just like Russia collusion, Ukr impeachment, Blm riots, and much of covid nonsense. To them, might makes right. 2/ Immediately prior Congress took the opportunity after years of egregious conduct to berate the FBI for politicization. The timing says it all. And Wray was bored by the obvious theater of it.
So, theres no point in even following it or getting enraged. If they block Trump from running there’s not a lot that can be done. Trump himself is not encouraging a revolt over this.
And, one last thing, Sundance pointed out some big event is coming. Imho, its probably debt market implosion or WW III, or both. If I were a betting man, I’d bet that whatever it is happens before Nov 2024. And if it doesnt, there’s now so much water under the bridge anyway, its difficult to see Trump unwinding it. If anything, I wish Trump would explain why we’re not in a crisis right now.
So, anyway, what we treepers need to do is hope, pray, and plan/prepare to be survivors. What we need to avoid is getting needlessly enraged by the actions of the psychopaths running the world.
Nice analysis.
I think the “big event” is either dollar related or they arrest Trump or possibly both.
When the dollar ceases to be the world’s reserve currency open violent riots civil strife and perhaps even civil war are a certainty.
The warrant itself seems way beyond anything that could have legal justification to any rational person who is aware of how our laws work. Asking for permission to seize ALL of a former President’ records? Which resulted in the FBI going through the First Lady’s clothes and even her underwear drawer?Breaking into a safe when they could have asked for it to be opened? Seizing Trump’s passports? The FBI clearly thinks they are the KGB now. We don’t even need to see the Affidavit for the warrant request to know that this is all the same script of phony lies the FBI has been using for the past 6 years to destroy Donald Trump. Why? Because he is the Left’s most powerful political opponent. They are afraid of the coming investigations into the Democrat Crime Syndicate if they lose the House and they are afraid that many of them will be facing criminal charges and looking at prison time. When the Trump team was cooperating all along to provide access to the records the National Archives requested, the FBI decides to create all this drama 3 months before the midterm election? It seems purely designed to smear Trump and the other America First candidates.
If there was anything legitimate about their raid on President Trump’s home at all, the FBI would release the Affidavit to the public, if nothing else to give themselves some credibility. They won’t. Because they have no credibility as a legitimate law enforcement agency anymore. Wray knows this, and he made it obvious in his Congressional Hearing that he doesn’t care. Like all their other dubious records in the past 6 years that took months/years for Congress to pry out of their crooked, scheming little hands, if the Affidavit is ever released it will undoubtedly be completely redacted if they are true to form. By their track record, it seems unlikely the redactions will be because of “national security issues” or to protect a witness . The “informant” they claim to have most likely doesn’t exist just like the other fake witnesses that have been produced for the past 6 years. (LOL, their usual “Anonymous Source” who heard something from someone who heard something from someone else) As has been their pattern for the past 6 years, the redactions will likely be to cover up the FBI’s own gross abuse of power and illegal conduct, like we saw in Crossfire Hurricane. Anyone in the GOP who gives legitimacy to this Clown Show deserves to lose their job. We need people in Congress with courage who are not afraid of being threatened by the FBI if they take action to put a stop to their criminal conduct and abuse of power, or who are not accepting “favors” or being blackmailed by the FBI. We need people who are willing to uphold our Constitution and our Bill of Rights which has been put in the paper shredder by the Biden administration and their weaponized DOJ.
Releasing a redacted portion of the affidavit is part of the plan. The parts not redacted will be the parts demonizing Trump. You are dealing with people who are specialists in lying to judges. Heck they got 4 FISA warrants lying and NO ONE/NOT ONE person has been held accountable.
Distract, demonize, vilify and when the poll numbers are correct perp walking to jail and solitary confinement.
Sussman teaches us that democrats can prosecute and convict ANYONE they want in DC Federal District Courts.
The judges are corrupt.
Question for the lawyers on here. Since the DOJ seized records relating to the Clinton case and have substituted themselves for some of the defendants, couldn’t they be charged with evidence tampering?
They might claim that Brandon “re-classified” the documents Trump declassified. However, I believe in this law the classification and declassification process has some limits when done by someone covering up their own wrong doing.
Bush Executive Order 13292 on Classified National Security Information
They can be charged with evidence tampering but who is going to charge them? Who in the DOJ will charge them.
When the FBI/Feds raided and killed Randy Weaver’s wife, kids and dog Idaho prosecuted the agent with murder. The first court to hear it said no, the agent couldn’t be charged. A higher court said he could be charged but by then a new AG in Idaho refused to continue with the charges.
Maybe there is a way for the AG of Florida to step in here and charge the FBI agents and the Federal District Court magistrate with violation of the Florida constitution and its civil rights act. I know Federal employees are not exempt from being sued for civil rights act violations.
Sadly, America as a free country with free and fair elections is now a nonentity, but only its citizens on both political sides do not realise it. NOTHING will change until Hillary Rodham Clinton dies. SHE is behind everything through her Resistance movement announced a day or two after she conceded defeat to DJ Trump in 2016. She is the most crooked woman ever to live since Caligula’s mother in ancient Rome. She has spent her entire adult life trying to destroy the United States, which the most pedestrian examination of her past reveals.
Rinehart needs to be removed from the bench for approving this illegal search warrant.
