The Mar-a-Lago raid is on full display for the world to see. For the first time ever, a former President of the United States personal residence was raided by the FBI in search of classified documents. The FBI was just at Mar-a-Lago a few months before in the name of the national archives.
Obviously the Fake news is blowing this up as if President Trump has classified nuclear codes he is willing to sell to any country. That has been one of the stories. Smarter people than me have said, then why did the FBI wait 18 months to raid Mar-a-Lago? President Trump’s lawyers were banned from the premises and the FBI refused to let them see the affidavit. Aren’t we a Constitutional Republic with restrictions on stuff like this?
The 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.
So back in May the FBI was already at Mar-a-Lago to retrieve records for the national archives. President Trump even greeted them at the door and all was apparently copacetic. The FBI asked the Secret Service to upgrade the locks on the records room in the house. The Attorney General, Merrick Garland supposedly agonized for weeks over pulling the trigger on this raid. Biden has said he knew nothing of the raid. This whole thing was talked about as far back as April. So Biden basically lied yet again. The White House council had to have been informed because it involved a former President. Remember the President gets the morning briefing on what is happening. So by him saying he did not know, he is not involved in the morning briefings or is the Presidential staff running the country?
Here is my take. This was a total fishing expedition. They have nothing and they were searching for anything. November 8th 2019 President Trump said, “I caught the Swamp, I caught them all.” We know and have seen Trump Derangement Syndrome since 2015. As President, Trump is the sole authority to declassify everything and anything as he sees fit. President Trump declassified two sets of documents before he left office regarding Russia Gate and Hillary Clinton, the public still has not seen them, where are they? The government wants to get those documents to protect there own asses! The fact that the warrant was for any documents from President Trumps’ first day in office to his last day backs up my first statement in this paragraph. They may have walked out with 15 boxes of material but do you really think President Trump doesn’t have copies of everything somewhere else. The fact this Administration violates the Constitution all of the time President Trump will again have to take them to court this time to prove they violated the Fourth Amendment. That being said, it would not surprise me in the least if President Trump is arrested and charged with some sort of cockamamie violation of the law
