Emails: FBI Agents Repeatedly Warned Biden's DOJ That There Was No Probable Cause for the Mar-a-Lago Raid

Weird how we never heard warnings about the need for the DOJ to be independent of the president when Biden's thugs were raiding his rival's home.

Just the News:

The FBI in summer 2022 raised repeated objections to raiding Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, warning agents did not believe the Biden Justice Department had enough evidence to establish "probable cause" that the then-former president had broken the law in handling classified documents, according to bombshell memos turned over Tuesday to Congress.
"WFO [FBI's Washington Field Office] has conducted approximately [Redacted] interviews related to this matter. Very little has been developed related to who might be culpable for mishandling the documents," a June 1, 2022 FBI memo declared. "From the interviews, WFO has gathered information suggesting that there may be additional boxes (presumably of the same type as were sent back to NARA [National Archives] in January) at Mar-a-Lago."
"WFO has been drafting a Search Warrant affidavit related to these potential boxes, but has some concerns that the information is single source, has not been corroborated, and may be dated. DOJ CES [Counterintelligence and Export Control Section] opines, however, that the SWs [search warrants] meet the probable cause standard," that memo read.

The independent straight-shooters of the FBI found no probable cause, but Biden's political leadership of the DOJ found there was.

I'm sure Jake Tapper will get right on this.

Over a month later, FBI agents raised more concerns, including about the legality of searching Trump's personal residence at the Mar-a-Lago residence, the memos show.
"DOJ has inquired as to an Ops Plan for a SW of MAL [Mar-a-Lago]. and that we already had an Ops Plan in place that will [sic] can be quickly updated between FBI/MM [Miami Field Office] and FBI/WF [Washington Field Office]," a redacted FBI agent in the nation's capital wrote in a July 12, 2022 email. "However, WF-[Redacted] does not believe we have PC for the 45 Office or the bedroom due to recency and issues of boxes versus classified information. Therefore, as Mv
Just the News obtained a copy of the memos after Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel declassified them and turned them over to Congress.
"Received shocking new docs 2day from DOJ & FBI showing FBI DID NOT BELIEVE IT HAD PROBABLE CAUSE to raid Pres[ident] Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, but Biden DOJ pushed for it anyway," Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley tweeted on Tuesday afternoon. "Based on the records, Mar-a-Lago raid was a miscarriage of justice."
The emails were turned over to the Senate and House Judiciary committees, ahead of a planned deposition Wednesday from ex-special prosecutor Jack Smith, who inherited the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case just months after the August 2022 raid of Trump's home that rocked the political world ahead of the 2024 election.
It has long been rumored that some FBI agents disagreed with the decision to raid Trump's home to look for classified documents at the request of the National Archives.
But the declassified emails chronicle the specific concerns that DOJ under President Joe Biden had not met the standard for a search warrant, but proceeded anyway, officials said.
Jay Bratt, at the time the chief of the DOJ's CES and a future member of future special counsel Jack Smith's team, was key in pushing for the Mar-a-Lago raid. An FBI official sent an email on June 2, 2022 stating that "we learned from Jay Bratt that he did not intend to 'negotiate' with [Trump lawyer Evan] Corcoran, or have any further discussions with him."
Brett Reynolds, a trial attorney at CES, appeared to send a draft of a search warrant on July 8, 2022. Michael Thacker, an assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of Florida, appeared to send another draft version of a search warrant on July 13, 2022.
"We haven't generated any new facts, but keep being given draft after draft after draft. Absent a witness coming forward with recent information about classified on site, at what point is it fair to table this? It is time consuming for the team, and not productive if there are no new facts supporting PC?" an FBI official wrote in a July 13, 2022 email.
"As everyone is tracking, WFO does not believe (and has articulated to DOJ CES) that we have established probable cause for the search warrant for classified documents at Mar-a-Lago," an FBI official wrote in another email dated July 20, 2022.

Put them in prison. G-pop.

It’s true - we just turned over documents to Capitol Hill to be made public showing the FBI told DOJ they did not have probable cause for raiding President Trump’s home in Mar A Lago but DOJ “didn’t give a damn” and did it anyway. https://t.co/qIlShYTd5V

96 53 But Trump tweeted some mean things about a dead POS!
Posted by: Comrade Flounder
=======
It is always fear of what others might do or say driving such comments. And it means social norms making it taboo to talk badly about dead people.

Social virtue signalling basically. People often feel better about themselves because they can express that they are better than that thus elevating themselves morally over the crowd.

Drives a lot of human behavior and society where being obnoxious but true in a statement is viewed as worse than blathering polite lies by omission or being silent for fear that the 'crowd' does not like it.

So taboos on public speaking like race, religion, science, sex, etc are often viewed as beyond the pale. Instead, like Henry Higgins teaches Eliza, you talk about your health and the weather.

The drunken defense lawyer scene in the Caine Mutiny played by José Ferrer is a classic example where the man spoke his piece of truth despite the crowd not liking what they heard.

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen, Ford 37 Pickup Trucks, Retired Space Shuttles, Unicorns, Otherkyn, and the Disarmed....FIB Portland has an update on the attacker at The University of Portland State University Kitchen Five facility.

This briefing is being held on land that once belonged to the Intergalactic Kingdom of Epsilon Five who were displaced by the terrible but necessary actions of the wizard Yakub.

A persynhunt is ongoing after law enforcement released a previously detained person of interest, determining that evidence pointed in a "different direction" and there was no basis to continue holding him despite his yelling "Aloha Saladbar."

New images and video of a new person of interest, described as a simian approximately 5-foot-8-inches with a stocky build, captured on surveillance footage near campus shortly before the shooting.

This office will not confirm what words were uttered as the attack was levied on the home economics class study session in kitchen five

103 Remember how they brought their own "classified" folders to the raid?*

And then splayed them on the hallway floor, as if to depict that was how they were found?

And then--bizarrely--included that photo in their filings?
A thing which is almost never done in federal filing and had zero weight to the filing?

And then, they "failed" to note the box, location and order for which they allegedly "found" the classified docs?
That is, no chain of custody, but a "trust us, we totally found these classified docs in that box."

* and this is key, b/c the charges were "knowingly mishandling classified documents." Which would have been near impossible ... but hey!! here are these bright red and blue folders now!!

107 Better question? What Judge signed off on the Warrant.

It is supposed to be a Judge who decides if a Warrant has sufficient cause, and is legal... and yet, we see time and again that Warrants were issued to spy on Congressmen, or to search the Home of an Ex President... at the behest of a Librarian?

Many of the problems we now have with our government, stem from the Judiciary not doing their intended Job. They are no longer protectors of the Public... and constantly overstep their own authority giving orders that should not be given, while also not protecting the Rights of citizens.

@ImMeme0
Meet Michelea Ponce. Ponce works for the
@Enloe
nonprofit health care system (most likely as a nurse) in California.

She is an “anti-racism” activist who decided to post a video of herself chastising and calling a Target employee “fucking stupid,” accusing her of supporting a “racist” simply because the staffer was wearing Charlie Kirk’s “Freedom” shirt.

Ponce could have politely addressed the issue with a store manager, but instead she chose to demonize the employee and shame her on the internet.

Please HELP me return the FAVOR and blast her all over the place, because someone who works in healthcare, whose role is to support the well-being of people, is doing the opposite.

Cool! They mature up to 90 days and then plateau. And it makes a big difference, using a 30 day starter vs a 90 (for example).

And you can use commercial yeast in your recipe to boost it. They sometimes call it "helper yeast" so not a lot of it, and also obviously never put it near your actual starter. But if you like straight sourdough then forget the commercial yeast. It's just to improve the rise and the timing.

Yup. 100%.

Don't forget:
40+ agents.
Carrying fully-automatic weapons and their side-arms.
Authorized to fire-at-will.
Sent to raid the personal residence of the former President.
Without warning his Secret Service detail.

They wanted a gunfight, dead agents at the least, they could pin on Trump for "stealing classified documents."
Bonus if they killed Trump.

Like Butler, I'll bet the whole first wave team was all green and inexperienced agents.
And I'll further bet they were sent in plain-clothes.

Sven, I can tell you song and verse about how privacy has been obliterated by Big Tech and gubmint. Simply put, they spy on us, every day, every way, and much of it comes from teh very products we buy, the cars and cellphones we buy, and from online merchants willing to make a shady buck by selling your data in bulk to law enforcement cheap

Assume you live in a glass house, every appliance is tapped, and all your comms are intercepted, categorized and starred if gubmint views you the problem. All your subscriptions, likes, views on social media belong to Big Tech and thence to Big Gov, etc.

There are real problems plaguing this country, and Trump to his credit is actually trying to address some. But gosh darn it, that tweet was over the line. Pence would have never done that.

Eh, why bother. In a sense, governments can and do persecute an individual and that is whether it is local, state, or federal. They, like journalists, will build a whole story about why they are justly going after person X--often this is true, but a certain percentage of the time, like for Trump, it is because the gubmint apparatchiks made him into an Enemy of the State.

To survive such, like Sakharov, you best become so well known domestically and even internationally that you become someone too 'big' to quietly have put away without threatening system stability.

The nastier way is to be such an evil person like Killary that everyone is more or less afraid to start something as the Clinton retaliation machine is very real and very vicious.

My dad was a criminal defense lawyer back in the dark days of the "crack wars."

A crack deal had four possible outcomes: (1) you get shot in the head; (2) you get snitched on and arrested and later shot in the head; (3) the crack gets stolen at the buy and you later get shot in the head; or (4) you get rich.

Each outcome was about 25% probability. So it was about 25% you'd get rich, and 75% get shot in the head. These were some crazy motherfuckers.

It's not enough just to fly the flag, though that's important. You also have to have the vessel registered in that same country. If there's no trace of a registration, it doesn't matter what flag you fly. Your ship is forfeit to anyone who is bigger and stronger who wants to take it from you.

They're the same as pirates.

It's not enough just to fly the flag, though that's important. You also have to have the vessel registered in that same country. If there's no trace of a registration, it doesn't matter what flag you fly. Your ship is forfeit to anyone who is bigger and stronger who wants to take it from you.

Typically it's for something like total points scored by both teams, or whatever. The bookie picks a threshold, like maybe 24.5, and you bet if it's going to be over that, or under that.

It's a bet that a certain outcome will be "over" or "under" a given figure. So if the over-under on a football score is 50, you win if you bet the "over" and the score ends up being 55. You lose if you bet the "under."
