Trump says FBI agents raided his Florida home

SEARCH WARRANT QUESTIONS ABOUT FBI TRUMP RAID ANSWERED

A bit of discussion by a cop around the warrant process and things going on with Trump. He does not have all the answers, but a good, candid real world perspective on the situation. For a couple of points that stand out:

1/ It was not the local FBI agents that conducted this raid. It was the group from Washington DC that keep the local FBI agents out of it.

2/ As for why they would stop a lawyer from watching what they are doing is a power play. If the FBI has nothing to hide, then why hide it?

As few other tips in the video on how things are suppose to work and how things really work. He does shot down some of the rumors going around at the moment.

Republican Florida State Rep. Nails it...

Lawmaker urges state to arrest FBI agents 'upon sight'

Republican Florida State Rep. Anthony Sabatini called for the state to arrest FBI agents conducting law enforcement outside Florida’s purview and to sever ties with the Department of Justice Monday.

“It’s time for us in the Florida Legislature to call an emergency legislative session & amend our laws regarding federal agencies,” Sabatini wrote in the wake of the FBI raid of Donald Trump’s Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago. “Sever all ties with DOJ immediately … Any FBI agent conducting law enforcement functions outside the purview of our State should be arrested upon sight.”

What a dumb idea. Florida already has the third highest rate of human trafficking in the US. That rate will skyrocket if they kick out the agency best equipped to handle human trafficking cases.

I wonder if Rep. Sabatini might be worried that his name is going to come up in the Gaetz investigation.

Oh, but doesn't the FBI been telling that they do not have time to work on anything else these days? they are after political candidates now under the orders of the DOJ and democrats, or any side agency that thinks they have the executive powers to do so.

Nope, FBI is not doing their job anymore, they are now the politicize arm of the democrats, the agency is not more.

That is my opinion.

In Garland Democrats trust, as pressure grows to explain raid

Attorney General Merrick Garland has frustrated some Trump critics.

The hopes and expectations of countless Democrats and no small number of Republicans rest with the judgment of a man in a position of considerable but not unlimited power over the fate of former President Donald Trump -- in case those circumstances ring any Mueller-era bells.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has frustrated some Trump critics from virtually the moment President Joe Biden took office, with a reticence to tip his hand when it comes to investigations of the former president.

Democrats are left watching, waiting and ultimately having to trust Garland's judgment that the recent searches were both justified and justifiable. The White House is in the same position, urging patience on a matter that, by design, is out of the president's control, and about which almost nobody knows anything at all.

ABC

If the unprecedented FBI raid on a former President’s home is no big deal and normal as some are suggesting in this thread; why is there so much apprehension within Democrat and Anti-Trump Republican circles?

Even the White House is claiming to be in the dark as much as everyone else. They are letting Garland stand or fall on his own over this incase their isnt enough there there to make the raid "justifiable".

The FBI is guilty of letting multiple abuse and trafficking cases go uninvestigated and unpunished.

They can't be trusted at all.


Edit to provide current examples and apparently a litany of previous examples:

How Many Sexual Assault Reports Did The FBI Ignore Before Larry Nassar?

But this is far from the first time the FBI has outright ignored reports of sexual assault or harassment. In 2014, an analysis of federal data estimated that between 1995 and 2012, over 1 million rape cases never even made it to the FBI as a result of police departments across the country systematically undercounting or underreporting sexual assault allegations. Under the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) program, police departments do not have to count and submit reported rapes to the FBI if they "determine that complains of rape are unfounded or false."

And even when cases do hit an FBI agents' desk, they are often ignored in the same manner that the FBI ignored complaints against Nassar. For example, former Kansas City Police Department detective Roger Golubski has been accused of threatening, stalking, and raping mostly poor Black women, many of whom were later murdered. Yet former FBI agent Alan Jennerich says he "tried and failed to interest his superiors" in bringing Golubski and other Kansas City police officers to justice, telling The Kansas City Star, "The FBI's never going to do anything. It's not in their interest."

It seems to me that the dumb move is to allow the FBI any more quarter when it comes to sex crimes or trafficking of any kind. They might be better equipped, but the sure as hell aren't using that equipment for the intended purpose.

It's time to disband the FBI. They no longer serve the interest of the American people and it is highly questionable that they ever did.

Is not doubt only the executive branch, that is the President of the US can order the DOJ agency to call for the FBI to do what they did.

Soo if it's going to look very bad on the executive branch if they do not come forward to say biden did it.

And if they continue to deny they did, then who is in charge of the executive branch these days.

This means that the DOJ agency is going to be the fall guy, taking all the responsibility of usurpation of the executive branch powers.

What people forgets is that the DOJ answers to the President of the US, this is very unprecedented if they acted on their own.

Well there’s your answer.

Only mobsters and guilty people plead the fifth.
-donald j. trump

Trump said in his statement today that he now understands why people are often WISE to plead the Fifth. That he was mistaken to think only guilty people would do so.

Yes. Pleading the 5th when you are being subjected to a witch hunt - where the whole purpose is to construct questions for a potential 'gotcha' moment if he misremembers a detail. Very smart. They have nothing and he knows it so force them to prove something - which they cant.

Don't forget arming the Mexican cartel. What was it, "Fast and Furious "?

Ok. So where is what they were looking for? Where is it? If they had a warrant they were looking for something and they took quite a bit.

The media should be plastered right now but I think this is more about creating a spark than going after 45.

The WH Press Sec said...

“We would ask Americans to remain peaceful in this time,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during the daily briefing when asked about angry Trump supporters.

“There is no place for political violence in this country,” Jean-Pierre said. “People have the right to raise their voices peacefully, but we would strongly condemn, as we have many times from here, the president has condemned, any efforts to plan violent behavior of any kind.”

They WANT some nut job to come out and do something. They are doing nothing but adding fuel to a fire they cannot start but....

a reply to: matafuchs

Yeah, we will be as peaceful as Antifa and BLM that the democrats directed to raise up and fight back,

Yep somebody should have reminded the bubble head press sec if that type of violence is ok, as they encouraged.

The FBI executes search warrants on a regular basis. Do you think the President signs off on all or even any of them?

a reply to: Xcalibur254

If it was a precedent setting first involving an ex-president I’d want the big boss to sign off on it to cover my own ass.

Anyone with half a brain would.

Pedantic.

How many times in the history of our country has one political party in power ever issued a warrant for an opposing political leader?

Somehow, the left seems to think that this is right and normal. If this had happened in any other country, everyone would recoil in disgust.

But apparently, you folks think this is how things should be run.

It’s almost as if you guys will create any and all the excuses for trump.

Crazy right!

one to be executed on the previous president of the United States who likely plans to run again in 2024? I sure a fluck hope he would know about that one. It's a career ending type event. (remember, Trump was impeached for asking about Hunters job in Ukraine, this is a bit beyond that)


And for those who like irony, here is a musical way to see the difference between getting in trouble with an R after your name, or a D.

I’m sure we all agree if she was found culpable she should’ve faced the consequences.

I for one would’ve had zero problems with that.
