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:
As I said, the case will be “randomly” assigned to an Obama or Clinton radical (not just normal) judge like the other 98% of the “random” assignments of his other cases.
The fix was in, is in and always will be in.
Obama and Reid blew apart the judicial filibuster to stack the DC Distrct and Circuit Courts for a reason and that reason is paying off over the last 7 years.
Even though PDJT had a one-term record number of federal vacancies he filled, IMO purposely left there by Obama for Clinton to fill before PDJT messed up their plans, McConnell was the Uniparty backstop with his Federalist Society approved control. More Uniparty chicanery.
Hence why, since then, ‘Trump’ judges have left plenty of us scratching our heads, poignantly with the 2020 election fraud but across all realms of jurisprudence.
In the realm of buying the right judge, all is not as it seems. Judge shopping is simply that, buying a friendly judge. Any of us who’ve done it and paid the high price for that privilege know how it works. Justice costs. Open your wallet and mortgage your assets. The legal system wants you.
A good lawyer knows the law. A great lawyer knows the Judge.
Yes, and they’re both crooked and traitors.
Good Judges know and respect the Law, Bad Judges are bought and corrupt. And Hate the Truth.
Good Congressmen know the Law and the Truth from a Lie. Bad Congressmen are bought and corrupt. And Hate the Truth.

Good judge?? Huh??? Where? Never heard of such a thing.
Good Congressmen/women?? Huh? Where. Never heard of such a thing.
Given the potential income and lifestyle of a private attorney, if you were any good, respectfully why would you be a judge, and not want your 10 percent to the big guy?
Congressmen/Woman??
MTG, Laura Boerner, Loise Ghomert, Paul Gosar, Matt Goetz.
In the Senate, not a maga in the place, …but hopefully thats going to change in Nov.
What difference will 1 or 2 MAGA Senators make?
Plenty of Noise, like introducing a bill to repeal the fillibuster.
Let Mitch explain how, even though “Dems” introduced such a bill when THEY were “in the majority” that now that Reps are in the majority, THEY shouldn’t try to pass such a bill.
For COMITY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
The bill wouldn’t pass, of coarse but it would be “pitched” as “sticking a thumb in the Dems eyes” but it would actually expose the R leadership, who DO NOT WANT the fillibuster rule ended, and to be in 51+ seat majority, cause they wouldn’t pass anything.
Exposing the establishment Republicans is what MAGA Candidates DO.
Every one is therefore GOLD, and we need to support them every day, in every way.
Just like PDJT, they take the slings and arrows, meant for US.
and the greatest lawyers are good at purchases!
And the best lawyer has the phone number for Peppermint.
Reinhardt is the FOURTH magistrate in five months. Talk about a head scratcher!
That’s the Trump civil lawsuit against Hillary and her flying monkeys.
This one is about the records that the archives claims he has and they want.
The CIA kicked off the idea of getting Trump. The initial email to the WH about what became Crossfire Hurricane came from the CIA. Peter Strzok didn’t work for the FBI, he worked for the CIA. In order for the CIA to operate in the US they had to say he was in the FBI. There are no records of him attending the FBI Academy in Quantico! If he didn’t work for the FBI, how did the FBI fire him?! Trump must have this email that proves how illegal (it’s illegal for the CIA to operate domestically), treasonous CH was.
It is ALL..A RACKET.. many Republicans ..most demorats.
💥THIS..is why they are HORRIFIED OF DONALD J TRUMP..🇺🇲🇺🇲
He doesn’t give a rats ass about any of their thieving a$$#$ AND THEY KNOW IT WILL UPSET NOT ONLY THE DEEP STATE BUT ..ALSO EVERY PENNY OF KICK BACKS AND PAID SORRY MESS THAT GOES ON..leaving them.just as broke as the rest of us are NOW !!
I HOPE HE TAKES THE SEAT AGAIN !!! WITH RON DESANTIS AS VP.
THEN, RON DESANTIS TAKES IT FOR THE NEXT 8 YEARS AFTER THAT…
IT IS PAST TIME🇺🇲🇺🇲FOR THE KARMA BUS TO
CONTINUE TO SHOW THE POLITICAL AND POLITICIANFAKE CRAP FOR WHAT THEY WERE TOTALLY SHOWN AND
CONTINUE TO SHOW EVEN MORE SINCE HE HAD THAT SEAT INITIALLY..
💥WHAT AN EYE OPENER THAT WAS!!!! AND THEY ALLLLL KNOW IT. 💥💥
I WOULD BE SCARED AS HELL….. !! AND HOPE HE BRINGS IT ALLL OUT..
AS FOR THE JUDGES..
💥💥💥BETTER MIND THE LAW..OR KARMA IS GONNA WAX THAT ASS!
NO ONE…LIKE A WORTHLESS POS …
shona,..
PLEASE DON’T YELL.
An OCCASIONAL capitalising, for emphasis is ONE thing, but all caps is just yelling.
And no, R.Desantis would be playing Bush, to PDJT’s Reagan.
Let Ron stay in Florida.
Now, “Trump in a dress” as VP in 2024, and POTUS in 2028,…?
Maybe, after she shows America what a REAL MAGA Governor looks like.
Respectfully and IMHO
President Trump should take this directly to SCOTUS on an emergency basis to bypass the corrupt DC judiciary.
The way it worked to get the SC to look at the 2020 election fraud? Remember how that went?
I dont trust the SCOTUS either. After all, they are all judge$.
After the SCOTUS denial to accept the lawsuit of 19 States concerning the 2020 election, IMESHO, there should be concern about the SCOTUS and why that case was denied. I feel thst the public has the right to see the visitor list to Epstein’s island!!!
The Only, ONLY, O-N-L-Y instance of McConnell giving the appearance of “working with” the President allegedly the leaders of McConnells party, was when Mitch “worked with” PDJT to fill Federal Judiciary vacancies.
In every other way, McConnell hamstrung, blocked and tried to derail PDJT, and virtually EVERY ONE of PDJT’s many accomplishments occurred despite, rather than from McConnells efforts.
I commented at the time that this ‘hurculean effort by Mitch’ to approve Judicial appointments was highly suspiscious, for this reason, at the time.
Time wounds all heals, and the Truth will out.
Trump will keep appealing until it gets to SCOTUS. No way a warrant that general in nature as to what they are searching for can pass fourth amendment muster.
There is also a history of excessive force in serving warrants that needs to be addressed in the courts although I doubt that happens.
It takes years to get to SCOTUS. And given the way they wimped out on hearing election lawsuits, don’t count on them taking these cases. Roberts and Kavanaugh are cowards afraid of the leftist mob.
Justice Thomas has jurisdiction in Southern Florida if needed.
And lets face it, this is not the “Roberts Court” it is now the Thomas Court.
TG, Roberts is clearly compromised by the PTB.
T’is why eipstains black book is still secret
Contents will be released when the time is right.
Yeah, and I wonder why?
Agree! I didn’t read you comment before I posted.
Meanwhile,,, everybody involved in this Massive pathetic POLITICAL charade… draws a paycheck and gets paid endless ungodly amounts of man hours for all of this that they’re doing legally..
BOTH FOR..AND THISE AGAINST DONALD J TRUMP !!!! FBI..ALL. The Justice aspects, Judges — everybody’s drawing a paycheck to make sure they get theirs !!!… It is all such a bunch of political charade and MASSIVE bunch of mess
I think there’s a chance this judge gets removed by his superiors. This search warrant is an obscenity towards Pres. Trump’s (really, anyone’s) Constitutional rights. To say the corrupt judge trampled the Constitution is a gross understatement. If nothing else, they need to get this Reinhart guy out of the way because he’s so corrupt they can’t cover for him. The downside they have is that if they remove the judge, they open the door for Trump to get the warrant quashed.
So the Government here is in a real pickle. If they don’t pull the judge, Trump can just show the dude’s social media posts to show that the warrant was advanced for the FBI and DOJ by a corrupt judge who had a documented ax to grind with Pres. Trump. If they don’t pull the judge, the judge is going to have to continue to try and justify his corrupt actions – which is why the sealed warrants have been unsealed and the affidavit is going to be at least partially released. (The redactions will make the Government look even worse because normal people will correctly interpret the redactions to mean the Government is hiding corrupt activity.)
And BTW we’ve gone from a sealed warrant and FBI agents rudely waiving the warrant at Trump’s lawyer (total arrogance on both counts) to a released warrant that shows the FBI and judge are corrupt to a partially released affidavit – in 12 days.
12 days is light speed, legally speaking.
We’re going to get more of the affidavit next week. That’s only going to make matters worse for the judge because the FBI relies on secrecy when faking evidence. Their cover is being blown.
So, you may be right, but if the judge gets pulled, the FBI and DOJ are in huge, huge, trouble. There is no guarantee the new judge is going to let this stand. We know too much already.
Maybe the judges that installed this guy–his superiors–need to be outed.
All the above!
Da Judge is Judge Sullivan, 2.0, and not nearly as functional as Sullivan was.
A few strategically placed horse heads will work wonders…
He’a magistrate, not a judge. That being said, will the DOJ move the matter over to a U.S
District judge in Florida or back up to DC where the judges are much friendlier to the DOJ before a grand jury indictment?
I don’t think I would move the case to DC if I could help it. The incident occurred in Florida and should be dealt with in Florida.
Yes, the removal would be to a district judge in the Southern District of Florida.
Trump’s Motion regarding violations of his 4th Amendment rights, will likely cause the magistrate judge in the case to defer, and transfer the matter to the District Court Judge. Trump’s “first appeal” of any decision he does not accept, needs to go to the U.S. District Ct. judge who has “final authority” on any rulings made by a federal magistrate judge. If his lawyers files an “appeal” from a decision by the magistrate, with the 11th Federal Appeals Court, BEFORE REQUESTING RECONSIDERATION BY THE DISTRICT COURT JUDGE, the 11th U.S. Federal Appeals Court will deny President Trump’s appeal. Why a U.S Federal District Court Judge has not already taken this case away from the assigned magistrate judge, is a FAILURE of the Chief U.S. Federal Court Judge.
Horrendous.
Someone (Trump) needs to make a motion. District judges don’t just reach down sua sponte and take cases away from the magistrates. I assume the Trump lawyers are waiting to see what happens before the magistrate to build a record. They always have the option to move for removal. But the longer this goes on before the magistate, the more the government has to show its hand.
Toss up…building a record to base an appeal…., or filing a dispositive motion to remove soon. Bottom line, JimB82, you, I and likely others here know that Trump’s case is going to get the attention of a District Ct. judge if handled properly! What concerns me is the “stories” Trump is having trouble getting experienced counsel….and we all know its the FRCP that can knock a good 4th Amendment case out of court!
hokkoda, the next judge (magistrate?) on the roster is the one who resided over Roger Stone. What to do? So far, four have recused…
Presiding Judge:Patrick M Hunt
Referring Judge:William Matthewman
2 Judge:Ryon M McCabe
3 Judge:Donald M Middlebrooks
4 Judge:Bruce E Reinhart
5 Judge:Jared M Strauss
6 Judge:Alicia O Valle

That’s the Trump v. Clinton civil case, not the criminal case US v. Trump. We don’t actually know who the district judge is who would take the case if it’s removed from the magistrate. That’s typically done on a random basis. But it would be one of the judges in SD Florida. Now, some of them have already recused from the civil case, which might mean that they would recuse from the criminal case, but we don’t know why they recused from the civil case. It could be that they are related to one of the attorneys, for example. So bottom line is, it’s too early to speculate.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/08/crimson-rhino-raid-mar-lago/
Bravo!
That just doesn’t happen this early in the case. The actions before the magistrate are building a record. Removing it to the district judge later is always an option, but right now the government is having to reveal more and more of its case on the record. That’s why the Trump lawyers are happy to let it play out at the magistrate level. It’s a no-lose situation.
We the people must somehow figure out a way to do whatever is necessary to make sure the fix is out and not in. We can no longer sit silently by the sidelines and watch our country being destroyed by the enemy within.
File the suit in your home state Fed Dist. and appeal to the Supremes if necessary. I think he’d win there. 5-4, IMHO.
Nothing is “random” when Beryl Howell is in charge.
Bidens private Gestapo says it all, doesn’t it.
The reason Garland waited so long to file was to wait until the proper judge would be able to hear the case. Garland is a manipulative, vindictive little viper who hasn’t forgotten his chance at the SCOTUS and how it was squelched. Garland should be impeached, not allowed to resign with any vestige of honor, which he surely hasn’t earned. He should be the first in a long line of Joebama cabinet members that need to be fired.
He should recieve a fair trial at the end of which, he is executed for treason.
With in 1 year.
That allows time for 1 appeal.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Hope it brings about a knock out punch against the sob’s for the best October surprise that no one will ever forget!
He’s been landing body blows the past 12 days. Think about it: 12 days ago, the FBI/DOJ had a sealed warrant, a combat team raid, arrogantly waived the warrant at Trump’s lawyer, and then announced a mix of crimes ranging from National Archives b.s. to Trump being a nuclear threat.
Then they had to abandon the National Archives thing because it became public that Trump had been negotiating with the National Archives. Then they had to abandon the nuclear threat lie because why would you wait 18 months or 3 months or 2 months if there was an imminent national security threat involving nuclear weapons? It was ludicrous and stupid and nobody bought it.
Then they had to roll Garland out to give a hostage video with no questions in which he said they would release all the information. Only they DIDN’T. They only released the warrant, not the affidavit. Buzz! Lie! But the warrant was pretty damning against the FBI and DOJ.
Now the judge starts getting worried. They’ve had to abandon multiple lies, release sealed materials they desperately needed to keep secret, and oh man the Judge has social media posts hating on Pres. Trump! This is glorious!
So now here we are waiting for the “redacted” (*snort* *chortle*) affidavit. Just like the warrant, the affidavit will show that this was nothing more than a fabricated “crime” supported by a warrant so general they could have confiscated Trump’s wardrobe if they had wanted to.
Trump is winning, bigly.
Next, we have security footage of the raid. Hmmm. When would be the opportune time to release it? Everyone wants to know what is on it, especially the FBI, DOJ and the Judge.
And Eric Trump made the comment, ” There was nothing in the safe.”
No mole, but maybe planted here-say over an FBI bug at Mar-a-Lago that there were documents in the safe? Did Melania say she was keeping nuclear blue prints in her closet?
LOL!!! Trump family trolling?!!!!!!!
Or, ” How I learned to Love FBI Surveillance!”
in the safe was… biden bike , kick stand…
Remember when there were slight differences in the copies of the documents handled by the Senate Intelligence Committee so the leaker could be identified?
Trump should check his cart, bag, and clubs for bugs. Phones should be banned from the course. Players should be required to shower while their clothes are inspected. Poor man cant trust anyone.
And as you say, just getting started.
I strongly suspect the info for probable cause and in the affidavit, came from PDJT’s own mouth, via a bug.
And was there a court order, FOR that bug?
And then there are the Security tapes, like a bomb up their butts, and with PDJT’S finger on the button.
Please, if anyone sees ANY downside to this whole incident, for PDJT please point it out.
The base population that’s apolitical has heard of this and thinks Trump’s guilty because the propaganda media has told them so.
My girlfriend has literally stated before that if it’s read on the teleprompter on the news she believes it because they wouldn’t lie. “It’s just not good for business.” Honestly, there are a lot of people who take the damage the propaganda media shares at face value. And it’s sickening. When you show her the thousands and thousands of times the press has lied to her, she just shrugs and says that she doesn’t believe it because it would be bad business.
And don’t forget the passports that they had not removed, and then had returned.
LOL! Keystone cops!
One interesting thing about both the warrant and the passports: I ran across a webpage yesterday that said all passports remain the property of the government, even while in your possession. The warrant said they could seize any government record and anything created during Trump’s presidency. That gives them a plausible (?) out for seizing the passports. See how that works?
The warrant was to broad to even be considered minutely legit.
Interesting, and I am sure the legal minds will fight over that for years.
I found the actual Law, and (given the majority of comments by legal pundits) although I would still think the FBI were not allowed to remove the passports, given the text below one could also argue that they broke the law when handing the passports back(!!!!):
§ 51.7 Passport property of the U.S. Government.
(a) A passport at all times remains the property of the United States and must be returned to the U.S. Government upon demand.
(b) Law enforcement authorities who take possession of a passport for use in an investigation or prosecution must return the passport to the Department on completion of the investigation and/or prosecution.
But wouldn’t it be the state department that has power to seize passports not the FBI?
The Keystone cops are a crack outfit compared to the FBI weasels.
Fabricating crimes and evidence is the ONLY thing the sleazy FBI is competent at. Well that and taking care of Cliniton “problems”.
Yup. We’re going to find that the warrant’s mostly based on “whistleblowers” with no direct knowledge, articles in the news media (based on DOJ leaks and J6 leaks), statements taken out of context, and bootstrapping from J6 testimony with no cross-examination. There is no “there” there.
Wait! Wouldn’t Mike Pence deem this lawsuit an “attack” on the Rank and File of the FBI?
BTW … that last speech b6 Pence has literally made me HATE the man for his condescending and irrational dismissal of legitimate public concern. It showed Pence to be a whore. A whore for the anti-Trump GOPe. How disgusting
Mike who?
The one we will never vote for…
There are still plenty of Fox News viewers who would vote for him.
Wrong
Judas 20 Pence….not a christian, just a whore, uniparty slut, backstabber, and EFFING TRAITOR
I wrote a similar thing before I scrolled down to read yours!! I’m with ya!!! Great minds and all!
Indeed, ded to me.
it is very important to understand pence.
take joe malarkey and remove any shred of intelligence and honor.
then you have mike pence.
yes, he is a very stupid person.
pence and malarkey have so much in common….
common idiots
and the obnoxious control wifey. sanctimonious prissy sneaky wifies
In his defense, he will never be alone with a woman other than his wife !
Little boys, on the other hand……
There’s always been talk about Indiana being a Masonic/pedophile / trafficking stronghold.
I think the coming out party for him was on Jan 6th. We had our suspicions, but that’s when our VSGPDJT exposed him as the Judas that he is and always was.
Our President asked the Deplorables in attendance to Peacefully and Patriotically make our way to the Capitol and grab Mike Pence by his p@ssy, hold his feet to the fire and make sure he fulfills his Patriotic obligation on behalf of We the People (at least that’s how I interpreted it).
Career decision time Mikey! Choose wisely!
He didn’t. Instead, this corrupt poser exposed himself and collected his pieces of silver. I believe our President already knew and it was time for him to be exposed. Good luck Mikey! I hope you realize where you’re going will be hotter than the melting point of silver and those coins will all drip through your hot little hands. We should have paid closer attention when the fly landed on his head as flies are known for landing on pieces of $#it.
Just like Traitor Benedict Arnold, Mike Pence’s name will live on in infamy!
The coming out party for Pence was the whole General Flynn saga.
I’m a “Never-Pencer!” He of the back-stabbing, lying, anti-American, pro-UniParty, GOPe, Trump-betraying kind! What a snake in the grass poser who calls himself a Christian.
If Trump wins this -Americans will stand behind him 100%!
Unfortunately, the polls show a majority of Americans in support of the raid.
No it does not show support .
Not any more. 53% of voterssay FBI is Biden’s Gestapo.
Were 6 months inside a election. Add another 10%.
*We’re
Paleocon, would you please cite the polls that show the Majority of Americans support the raid?
It was a Twitter poll….😬🤣
What? PDJT’s poll numbers increased 10% over DeSantis. I don’t think majority means what you think it does.
Ok groomer.
“Figures never lie but liars sure can figure.” And pollsters are the biggest fidgeters of figures their has ever been. They are paid to provide support for an hypothesis and that is what they do.
I don’t see this going far. Bringing a case for unwarranted search, but there was a warrant.
An illegal warrant. The President has sole discretion on which documents to declassify & keep. In America, one has to specify the crime & not the person.
The SDNY prosecutor & this magistrate judge have grossly overlooked the rule of law.
Justice is coming.
Not sure how the DOJ can keep/redact the affidavit for “national security reasons” given the ludicrous scope of the warrant, ie all presidential materials for Trump’s entire term. Seems, in a world where judges/magistrates are not corrupt, the expansive warrant should completely undercut any efforts to keep the affidavit secret.
We’ve been thru a redacted warrant & Affidavit(s) before: the Carter Page FISA Warrant Application where the DOJ/FBI redacted out the parts where they lied, made stuff up or submitted false evidence. Why would we think anything different happened here? Same staff people, same pro-Democrat, same anti-Trump, same arrogant law breakers.
And look at the Flynn case, as well.
Actually, the other more disturbing paragraph is paragraph “a”. What they’re saying is that if they have a box with 10,000 papers in it, and one of them has a classified marking on it, they can keep the entire box AND anything stored with it. That means if one paper says “SECRET” at the top, they can keep every single box “stored or found together” which if you define “stored” to mean “anything on the entire property of MAL”, that means you can take every single solitary possession of Pres. Trump.
Also, notice that it says “classified markings” not “classified information”…because Trump declassified a lot of stuff. This general warrant is their work-around from having to identify SPECIFIC DOCUMENTS that they think are “classified”. Because they don’t actually have any proof that Trump has specific classified documents…which means they don’t have probable cause to justify the warrant.
Fraud alert! Disband the FBI.
That being said, these data points we keep getting are making the Government look worse and worse. And it has all been uncovered in about 12 days. Recall it took years of subpoenas and redacted memos and phony IG investigations to get to the point where it was proven that the Russia hoax was an attempted coup d’etat. 12 days is pretty damn fast. Do not let up.
Keep up the pressure on your elected reps. Releasing the warrant HURT the FBI and DOJ and especially the judge who signed it. Now they’re on to the fallback lie: redacted versions of the affidavit. That will ALSO make the Government look worse and worse…and they’ll be forced to release the whole thing…and we’ll get to see how the FBI and DOJ fabricated “probable cause” to conduct a smash and grab robbery of Pres. Trump’s home.
Good to see POTUS calling it an illegal break-in. +1. He should have been doing that a week ago. +1 for finally talking about how the FBI has falsified warrants to spy on him in the past.
I still think Sundance should consider a post showing how the FBI and DOJ used “redactions” to cover up illegal behavior.
This time it’s quite interesting – something is different.
While it’s been clear, to those following the DOJ/FBI/CYA/NSA/SSCI/FISA scandals and coup-attempts, these perpatrators see themselves above the law, it appears to me they’re gauging and reacting to public outrage now.
It’s not at all what I would have expected or predicted from the unelected despotic regime in control.
Something has shifted…
We now instinctively anticipate and immediately react to their evil schemes, but it feels like it’s more than that.
They are not nearly as powerful as they want to appear, their actions are coming from a place of FEAR, not confidence.
…”not confidence” OR arrogance. They are definitely slipping and their panic is obvious.
There have been a few leaks from some patriotic FBI whistleblowers. Let’s hope those keep coming as some of them seem to actually want to save the country or at least the FBI integrity part.
All 14 of them.
Over 20 now.
Out of how many? But supposed ‘conservative pundits’ and ‘conservative politicians’ keep telling us “majority of rank and file are good Americans”?
This raid was “one” of their last-ditch efforts to “get” President Trump. Nobody is buying what they’re selling…nobody. Not even Dems believe this crap.
Also, notice that it says “classified markings”
It doesn’t have to say “Secret” – there are 5 different possible markings including “confidential” & don’t forget that “declassified” would also be a marking.
Literally every paper they stole could be marked “declassified” and they could still confiscate them, due to the “Marking” wording.
The argument will be that the documents were not Trump’s to retain.
Methinks this whole charade is destined for SCOTUS.
This wide-open warrant scope is unconstitutional on it’s face. Couple that with no verifiable support via the obscenely to-be-redacted affidavit, and it’s a giant no-sale.
Well if you are right, and the argument will be that the docs weren’t Trump’s to retain, then let’s haul out the 3 million (give or take) docs that Obama still has, MANY of which are marked plainly “classified”.
That’s not what Amy Berman Jackson/Beryl Howe and the DoJ concluded when Judicial Watch went after audio tapes that Bill Clinton took from the WH when he left. The UNAPPEALED 2012 court decision concluded that the President had sole authority to declassify whatever he wanted and whatever he decided to take with him was his. JW didn’t get the tapes. Question is – did FBI/DoJ tell Mag Reinhardt about this case? all here in BW
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/old-case-over-audio-tapes-bill-clintons-sock-drawer-could-impact
Read ex-Gorsuch clerk’s article basically laying waste to any claims PDJT did anything out of his purview.

One of the issues in the revolutionary war was general (wide open) warrants. Hence the Founding Fathers put the 4th amendment in the Bill of Rights. Yes?
“how much are we all expected to take?”
That is the question.
We’ve just gotta keep our cool because our real President and the White Hats have this. IMO, because he has never lied to me, I trust him now implicitly and see no reason to pop off and do something stupid, which is what the DS would like us to do.
I agree with you and COLiberty. We prepare. We observe. We hold fast. Action of the violent kind is the very last resort.
I do note though, our pre-revolution went to war over far, far less. We wait till we have no choice. Now isn’t that time.
According to Alan Dershowitz, he has talked with several big law firms and none are willing to represent Trump because of near certainty they will lose major clients and be blacklisted from ever representing major corporate clients. So disgraceful. The DC establishment waging war on Trump. Are there any law firms in red states that will work with him? Dershowitz represented Trump in his impeachment trials and says he lost most of his speaking engagements and several clients who would no longer be associated with him because they despise Trump. It’s just disgraceful what is happening in this country.
That’s one thing that really eats at me and worries me a great deal.
That is the wholesale willingness to ignore, or for that matter, be blind to, fundamental principles of fairness.
And I’m talking about John Q Libtard, but also the RINO class.
I see your point, but remember: neither the John Q’s nor the RINO’s outnumber the Patriots in this country. WE STILL ROCK, and I don’t believe Trump will have all that tough a time finding a good law firm to represent him. He just needs to look in the right place – say, TEXAS!
Until they HURT…….
Hope Dershowitz and others are keeping a list. And perhaps these lists should be published every now and then. Would be nice to know who the cowards are.
Dershowitz has an epstein connection which is why he has lost clients if indeed he has. He is still a democrat and hasn’t learned his lesson.
The most despicable of those leftists with an insane, raging hatred of all things Trump, are the same leftists who have no problem with WaPo titling al-Baghdadi as an austere religious scholar.
attorney paul clement would beautifully argue the 4th amendment case and would win magnificently at SCOTUS, as he has done before for other conservative clients over the years, but I dont know if Trump likes him or if he likes Trump
And I think it is positive news that clement just left Kirkland Ellis to form own boutique firm because he is so fiercely loyal to his clients. Just after he won the 2nd amendment gun case at scotus and Kirkland Ellis wanted him to drop his gun client. Clement has conviction and courage and he always wins. And Looks to me Paul clement has shown quality and brains and experience in big leagues way above Dershowitz
How about Sidney Powell?
she oversold herself last time ..as bad as a tick tock from motor mouth hannity
What you don’t understand is all these big law firms with offices in DC, NYC, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, etc., are so incestuous, crawling all over each other for the next client, the next big politician, the next Big Tech, the next Big Government Contract, the next Big Government appointment that you can hardly distinguish one from the other.
For instance, Liz Cheney”s husband is a partner in a DC law firm whose NYC office represents Hunter & the firm also represents U.S. companies with ties to the Chinese government in military, intelligence & security operations.
Christopher Wray worked in the DOJ with Jim Comey & Robert Mueller, left to join as partner in an Atlanta firm with DC offices in about 2005, came back to DC as FBI director under Pres. Trump. Acting AG Sally Yates, upon being fired by Pres. Trump “hires” Wray”s firm to represent her & eventually joins the firm as partner.
Gen. Flynn hires a DC firm to represent him after FBI McCabe sets him up when Pres. Trump first takes office, not knowing former AG & Ovomit”s wing man Eric Holder is a partner in the firm he”s just hired. And we can’t help but notice how the firm sells Gen. Flynn out over & over, forcing him to take a guilty plea.
Just a few examples of lawyers walking in & out of law firms into the DOJ/FBI & back out. And no matter how much they opine they are,”Republican,” there no longer is such a thing living & working in DC.
OTOH, just look at how almost EVERY lawyer representing Pres. Trump has been raided, subpoenaed, deposed, interrogated, threatened, bad-mouthed, misquoted, hounded, & on & on
The main purpose of law school is to train one how to twist a lie into something resembling truth. Then because there is an appearance of truth, it cannot be a lie anymore. That’s modern jurisprudence. The Bible calls that wickedness
But nobody can touch Paul clement. He is big dog and he wins ; has argued too many high profile cases at scotus and won; nobody can touch him
alan dickschitz is about as corrupt as they come.
he got his start to “fame” defending a PROVEN NAZI WAR CRIMINAL!
He promoted his status by defending and contributing valuable legal advice to Epstein.
DickSchitz is the kind of lawyer who would (and probably will) defend the likes of soros if given the opportunity.
dickschitz occupies that distorted delussional state that insist replaces moral duty with “whatever you can win in a court of law”.
there is no honor about this proven embecile.
so when he goes on about “no esteemed” attorney would avail themselves to defend President Trump, he is referring to the kind of attorney he identifies with: embeciles and scofflaws.
It is GOOD that President Trump is not choosing “esteemed” legal embeciles that have the dickschitz stamp of approval.
It’s probably one of the most important and wise decisions of his entire political career to avoid the diskschitz crowd.
HE HAS LEARNED.
look at all the attorneys that formerly represented President Trump and his enterprises. You’ll find the high majority are simple criminals…and that has got to be a constant pain in the ass knowing that at some future date the enemy is going to try hard and harder to put another one inside the wire and take you down.
Dickschitz is mad because President Trump has tossed him to the curb ..and for good reasons. He’s just not fit and a reliable trustworthy person.
Imagine if he WAS President Trumps’ personal attorney handling sensitive matters. Do you even think he would fight back against the DOJ reaching for his files and forcing him to testify against his own client?
know WHY he defended epstein? payday baby…huge big bucks. and of course, there is the sex with minor girls that is likely !
there is no honorable bone in this man’s body.
he is literally a legal whore.
“alan dickschitz is about as corrupt as they come.
he got his start to “fame” defending a PROVEN NAZI WAR CRIMINAL!”
That’s a lie.
Get your facts right.
Von Bulow’s father was accused and later cleared, of being a Nazi collaborator for his activities during WW2 in Denmark.
His dad, NOT Von Bulow. These are simplistic facts you can find easily online.
And BTW, even if you dislike Von Bulow or his dad or anybody at all, are you saying that all people are no longer entitled to a legal defence and fair trial in the courts in a civilised country?
If so then that would put you firmly in the anti Trump camp and 100% with the corrupt DOJ and FBLIE.
That just isn’t fair. Would you condemn John Adams because he defended, and got acquitted the Brithish soldiers that fired during the Boston Massacre? Every man deserves a stalwart legal defense, no matter what.
I hope Rudy isn’t Trump’s lawyer here. Get a Constitutional expert. Like Dershowitz if he’ll take the case. He might not because he says he has been blacklisted and lost many clients since representing Trump in his impeachment trials.
LOL…..beware “constitutional experts”…..Levin and Cruz consider themselves such and thought it all right for a Canadian citizen to run for POTUS…..Dershowitz classifies himself as one yet champions Ozero, the Hag and Slo Joe all of whom daily violate the very premises of the document and he thinks that is OK…….a typical lawyer these days is not studying the law to see how to maintain it but to see its flaws and cracks to better violate it without consequence
Whats you mean “these days”?
I could tell you stories, going back 30-40 years, of lawyers who specialised in just that.
This lawfare stuff is new, but exploiting cracks is what lawyers DO.
Well, if we are nominating, despite PDJT saying he is quite satisfied with his legal representation, …
I reccomend Sidney Powell.
This case looks an awful lot like the Flynn case, and she has unique experience there.
This looks & and sounds like a “fishing expedition” warrant, because it is far too generalized. It represents direct abuse of a person’s fourth Amendment. And, since a former president was involved, which means that numerous exclusions must be allowed, due to special privileges he had/has, anyone involved in this travesty of justice & clear violation of rights, must be prosecuted, and must spend no less than 10 years in prison, due to knowingly participating in these crimes.
.
And what do we suppose is happening to their raid booty right now? All locked up until further court rulings, or are they back at head quarters pawing through it? Harm has already been done to PDJT, and great harm has already been done to the legal system. Everyone who thought this was okay needs to be on the receiving end of the system they’re abusing.
The Biden Socialist Democrat Party will do anything to convict President Trump for anything, even something Democrats made up, because they can’t find anything President Trump did wrong. They know if President Trump wins the 2024 Election he will get rid of the Corrupt Socialist Democrats in the swamp, which means the FBI, IRS, CIA, etc to make this country free of Corruption which would be a Blessing! I pray President Trump will run in 2024 and will get rid of all Corrupt Government Agencies that are destroying our country. Please vote Republican in November 2022 and bring President Trump back to make America Great again in November 2024.
The DC Uniparty who DO NOT want PDJT back in the WH, who are absolutely convinced that they can not survive a 2nd term of PDJT,….also know that if he runs, he wins.
THEY, by their actions are telegraphing all of this with every move they make.
So, rest assured THEY know 2020 Steal was a one time shot, like the Trojan horse, and they can’t cheat to keep him out.
They can’t prevent him running.
They can’t prevent him winning.
They can’t survive if he is in.
And they can’t JFK him.
THEY are in a pickle, ..
American people, stop watching the FAKE NEWS, I mean MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSDNC.
They are the Socialist Democrat Media working for The Biden Socialist Democrat Party, they LIE, LIE and LIE to the people of the USA everyday. The viewers believe these LIES and don’t realize the Media is lying to them all the time. WAKE UP AMERICA and start watching NEWSMAX, the only Republican Network that will tell you the truth.
.
You were good right up until “Newsmax”.
.
Perzactly. Actually, I don’t really think very many people ARE watching msm any more, and most that do, don’t believe it.
I agree, Outhouse Counsel. The closest we can come to anything real and fair – and they certainly have their unfair moments! – is Real America’s Voice, mostly because of Steve Bannon and his War Room. Also, I like their in-the-field reporters because they get down to the nitty even when they are reporting from dangerous locations on dangerous subjects. They actually DO THEIR JOBS WELL.
Not Newsmax, they sold out to Dominion when the going got rough.
Switch to Pluto TV (Newsmax is there, too,) start watching War Room. That’s where you’ll get far more truth. The rest of the programming is great as well on “Real America’s Voice,” channel #470.
Retired Magistrate here: President Trump’s upcoming lawsuit will be a great way to get the Affidavit unsealed. The Affidavit will be the focus of the lawsuit because the Affidavit is what led to the Warrant.
By the way Pre Dawn Warrants are held to a higher standard than Warrants issued during the daytime. Special circumstances must be shown why the Warrant can’t be issued under normal circumstances; i.e., during daylight hours. That is going to be difficult to do since Garland sat on the Warrant for 4-5 days and President Trump’s attorneys had been cooperating with whatever documents the DOJ wanted.
Yes, I know there will be judge shopping; however, this was a smart move on the part of President Trump’s attorneys. I am sure the DOJ and FBI thought that President Trump would go on defense and not make an offensive move.
Continue to pray for President Trump and his attorneys, for wisdom and protection.
Thankful that you sit on a branch here at the Treehouse, Retired Magistrate! Always appreciate your expertise! Between you and Sundance, we are very blessed!
Will definitely be praying for Trump, his family, and his Attorneys for both wisdom and protection. 🙏
Maybe it wasn’t a mistake? Looks to me like they stuck a “poison pill” in that warrant intentionally. It’s so clear and obvious that it’s a violation of the 4th Am…. almost a textbook example. That subsection (c) makes the whole search warrant unconstitutional. Regardless of any of the other parts, (c) kills it. So… WHY would they want to do that?
They had one shot to go in and take everything, so they used a bad Judge and an illegal warrant in the hope they would find what they needed. I don’t think they did and they are on camera during this illegal raid doing…who knows what?
They went to a lot of trouble to get in there and it is all falling apart. I heard that going into a safe requires a separate warrant, which they did not obtain.
Whatever it was they were trying to get, it was in the safe at one time. And that’s why they’ve been throwing shite against the wall to see what sticks. The safe was empty and they got caught with their thumbs up their whazoos.
I believe this also, they brought a “safe cracker” with them, to me this says the safe was the actual target. When they found it empty……uh-oh!
Maybe this “mole” wasn’t what the mole appeared to be. Maybe he or she played the role well and enticed them to this result. Would be fitting, right? Considering the FBI’s behavior with the Whitmer plot.
I think the reason they want to do that, is that the Dem and RINO first goal is to taint Trump, smudge his reputation, throw up a cloud of smoke, smear him with innuendo, expand the lies against him,, dribble out manufactured “evidence”, so as to keep the nonsense in the news forever and ever, doesnt matter to them about the many illegal injustices which the news will not cover;
the second goal of the Dems and RINOs is to keep Trump talking about his grievances, keep him wounded and on the defensive, try to get him to whine about the unfairness of it all, get him to complain constantly, and play martyr, keep a ball and chain around his leg, they do not want him to lead us, forge ahead and fight , show strength, shake it off, they do not want him to be the lion in the wonderful video shared in the above comment–
I disagree on point one.
If this was done for PR reasons, THEY would have announced it, and THEY would have had a false narrative, already agreed upon, approved and deceminated, ready for everyone to repeat-by- rote.
In fact, for reasons as yet unknown, they seemed surprised that PDJT announced the raid, and certainly were caught flat footed.
Actually, I agree with #2, as well which is also public relations related.
They have pretty much aknowledged their spun version of what Sundance described in his 4 part series, is what they were going after.
DEclassified documents on crossfire hurricane, etc.
Perhaps he was writing a tell all memoir, lol.
They wanted an excuse to get into his home and office and read anything and everything they could possibly use, distort, selectively edit, and then leak to the media to hurt him politically. It was probably never about actually getting evidence that could stand up in court. It either was to find anything to damage him or, lacking that, to create the illusion that they did find something and then leak it, truth or lie, to the media. Nobody would be able to contradict anything they claim to have found because all is hidden on the excuse of national security and/or an ongoing investigation.
The coup can’t continue without the so-called mainstream media, now better described as the leaking media.
And if the suit succeeds, the judge who signed the warrant should be disbarred and removed from office.
Not a Judge, I think he can just be fired.
Good!
Perfect move
He is calling on the American public to demand that our government respect and honor our rights, our constitution and the amendments.
As always – that’s our President Trump, the law and order president!

Trump is using extreme, but accurate and well deserved language on the DOJ and FBI.
He is giving us a new bar to try to equal and surpass, if we can.
All words in the English language, as well as all other languages, are eligible. The DOJ and FBI deserve to be despise by all mankind and for the rest of all time.
File it in Florida and he has a chance. File it in DC and he’ll lose. Beryl Howell will make sure of it.
Democrats and the Biden regime have “fundamentally transformed” our former democratic-republic into a fascist police state.
Excuse me? Didn’t President Trump HIRE Bill Barr? What did he think was going to happen? Well all knew, QAnon was screaming it from the mountain tops.
The President should file a Section 1983 civil suit.
This great man has and is enduring so much for his country. May God keep him safe.
Classification markings do not apply to the POTUS ability to declassify documents. He can say or even think this document is declassified and it is. The fact that markings remain is an administrative artifact that is meaningless. This warrant is completely illegal.
Heads should roll in FBI, DOJ and the judicial system that approved an illegal warrant.
The Epoch Times presented a well written article about the timeline of activities of the FBI, DOJ and President Trump’s court filings in the RICO suit.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/spygate-docs-and-trumps-rico-lawsuit-exploring-the-real-reasons-behind-the-fbi-raid_4676237.html?utm_source=ref_share&utm_campaign=copy&rs=SHRDJNQS
At 1:40 Jeffrey Clark states that the search on his home was part of a nation-wide and well coordinated number of raids on the same day—June 23–that’s only two days after DJT filed his amended complaint on June 21. I posted this under an early comment by Nimrodman.
It all comes down to the plenary power of the President to declassify anything. And he had a standing order that anything he took away with him was deemed to be declassified. He explicitly declassified the materials that are being used in his RICO lawsuit against the Government. The President does not have to play by the rules which apply to everyone else.
The Fourth Amendment uses the word particularly for a specific reason which was violated here. Nowhere does the warrant mention Melina’s panties . . .
Any entity that’s operated as stupidly as Joe Biden’s administration, indeed the Democrat version of Washington DC, has no business running a Corner Lemonade Stand.
Any citizenry that allows them to operate this way, deserves what they get, in spades.
I think PDJT should have a pay per view showing of the cctv in his home. People world wide would view it. His campaign and other MAGA would be well supplied with $$$ to take the administrative state down.
I think they are erasing him, they also seized his transition documents early on…
Obviously the question is “what court” will see this filing. Does it go before the judge who allowed it in the first place? Does it go before a judge Trump’s people can buy. The latter better be the case because for the moment it appears it will take corruption to fight corruption.
President Trump should just dump all the stuff he declassified, and watch the cockroaches run under the sink.

This search warrant is far too broad. As read, it would include any and all papers President Trump dealt with during his entire time in office. This is insane. Every box in close proximity to the boxes containing documents was to be seized. Some of those could well have been stored clothing items or miscellaneous items.– Just saying, the warrant was purely political on Garland’s behalf to try to find something to darken Mr. Trump’s image right before the midterms.
The FBI can’t find any evidence of wrong doing by Trump after 5 long years of investigating him and everyone around him. This is a desperate attempt to manufacture and plant evidence in what they stole from Mar-A-Lago so they can prosecute him.
I can’t wait to see the video from the FBI home invasion.
A search warrant is supposed to name specifically what is being searched for- all papers from the moment Trump took office till Biden was elected is not a search warrant, it is a fishing expedition, obviously predicated on nothing but trying to stop the Republican wave in Nov (the timing) and Trump running again in ’24. I hope this goes to the Supreme Court- we can’t allow a rabid and politicized DOJ and the Deep State to run amuck.
Although it seems obvious Rinehart was manuvered into place, curious if other judges denied the warrant before it got to Rinehart.
Seems a clear 4th Amendment violation.
It is my opinion that Garland did not know of the raid until after it happened. It was executed by a ‘‘rogue’‘ band of FBI agents. When he learned about it, there was a ”pause’‘ before Garland took responsibility for it. Garland has been playing ”catch up” since then trying to get ”ahead” of the story. That is why responses from the DOJ are all over the place. That is why the judge who signed the warrant is being so ”amenable” about releasing information because he, too, was ”hoodwinked ” by these same agents.
Someone commented on this thread -”something is different.” ”Something has shifted…
We now instinctively anticipate and immediately react to their evil schemes, but it feels like it’s more than that.”
Garland can no longer keep spinning the narrative.
If there were ever a lawsuit that should have been allowed to proceed it was Bruce Joiner vs. United States of America:
“The United States is immune from suit absent it’s consent, and the terms of that consent define a court’s jurisdiction over claims brought against the United States”
“Absent a specific waiver, sovereign immunity prevents a court from exercising subject-matter jurisdiction over a case”

I know my thoughts might be unpopular, but watching Trump for all the years he’s been under attack and beaten every single attack down by letting the idiots consume themselves. I have random thought about it.
Is it possible that Trump himself fed the so called affidavit whistle blowers to the FBI because he wanted to use it to show us and the world what the DOJ and the 4th estate do? Did he set them all up so he could take advantage of the situation like he’s always done? He sure us getting a lot of mileage from the attack and it’s pretty coincidental that he was not even on premises to be hassled by the raid itself if the DOJ and FBI wanted to shame and embarrass him publicly.
Trump always plays chess while they play checkers around him. I know I know he’s made some bad choices for people to surround himself with, but he always comes out clean because he always just tells the truth and is very blunt about it. Truth and bluntness is the holy water every vampire fears the most, but like every vampire, they cant resist stopping to collect every every stack of political needles he throws out.
I have no idea if Trump took the democrat playbook in order to use it against them or not with lies and false accusations, but if he did, it sure was a brilliant plan to ensure he will be top of the pack in the 2024 race. Wouldnt it be hilarious if we found out in the end that Trump had identified some enemies in his own camp and fed them information to have them do this very thing that is spring boarding him to the highest popularity he’s seen in years?
Again, I have no clue, but to me it sounds like something My President would do.
What can a person do. The DOJ from Garland to the person who cleans the toilets are crooks and hard core communists. Every single one. Ditto the sleazy FBI. Calling these scumbags law enforcement makes me want to puke and is an insult to every real police officer in the world.
PDJT NEVER, not for 1 sixty second minute, evah had operational control over the DOJ, despite being the “Chief law enforcement officer of the land.
No “wingman” like Obama had for eight years, with Holder and Lynch, or like Brandon has with Garland.
No, PDJT didn’t have control during Sessions/Rosie/Mueller/
Weisnstein/Huber Barr/Durham.
Just as, tradition be damned, PDJT was NEVER ‘the leader of his party’ as sitting POTUS’s are always said to be.
Not for one damn minute.
Courts are corrupt- lost at the circuit level in a case with a Clinton appointee because his wife and the judge were in the same Sorority at Duke.
They actually put the wife on the stand to give her secret handshake to the judge and talk about old friends.
Also, there is an absolute constitutional right to be observe the execution of a warrant when the person who owns the property is present. They published that they waited until Trump was gone after a weekend to serve the warrant, then excluded his lawyers from observing the search.
What’s to keep these clueless degenerates from fabricating another affidavit and replacing the original one?
Is there a chance that Durham has a copy of all the declassified material?
